I always get to a point in this game where i just no longer know where to go from...

Work on getting a military as well as crafts industry, mining/smelting, etc.

Also a big lock for your fortress because in the new verson, unless you have bronze or steel or better you won't be able to lay a finger on the goblins cause its p. broken.

Medical care is broken too.


I had 15 dwarves die in the hospital

[Jess]

uhh you need a dwarf with skills to heal your dwarf :P


Oh also guys easiest way to make your cave floor muddy!


If you have like a underwater water pond thing... just cut into it make the room big... it'll fill the room without flooding your fortress with about 1 to 2 water level and slowly disapear :)


What do you guys do for food i farm its kinda slow though.

[Tokthree]

Farming is meant to be a steady income of food that supplies as much as is needed for your dwarves, you aren't meant to monitor its progress constantly

Well stuff, in 40d I had an awesome ass fort that actually got a baron for once and I had around 100 people and it was running at > 30FPS.

Maybe the 16000 loving stones had an effect in the FPS.

First off, no loving duh, theres a glitch that makes the surgeon just stay in the hospital and do nothing.

Second of all, you dont need a muddly floor to farm, i just mined into a cave and placed a farm.

I have over 150 dwarves in my fortress, so those 15 really dont matter :D

[Jacob/Lee]

I believe Toady said that he got a glitch with the diagnosis in the beta of medical care where the diagnostician failed 4 times and hurt him more and more, then the surgeons ALSO failed.


Offtopic: I think the armory dwarf should be renamed to quartermaster, as my suggestion topic on the forum says.

Any idea how to make a hunter hunt?

It might be another bug, just give him a crossbow or something that might fix the problem.

Or, make sure you have wild animals

They do it when there are animals around.


Hunting is useless without a butcher thou.

double toast
so, the first merchants come for the year, and im looking around seeing what I can trade.
I look through rocks to see if I have some kind of valuable stuff
I see a gold nugget, I'm like, "forget yes :D" and look through some more. Found more gold nuggets.
I quickly see "plat..." when skipping through some pages. I froze, and went back.
A platinum nugget.
HOW DO I FIND OUT WHERE I MINED THIS? I NEED TO KNOW.
