Ben HarrisIn #DwarfFortress, I've just got iron production going again, so I was expecting that I'd be getting that working right tonight. But looking at this list I think I may need to pay more attention to the soap situation. Join me, if you like:
LenThis also means that when you plan out engineering projects involving redirecting the flow of water, you don't have to wait until there is no water flowing so that you can do your digging/building while it's safely dry, so as to not risk drowning your citizens.
You can just order floodgates and dams built right from the get-go. They'll happily swim out there and build them, provided you've placed a path.
Ah.
It's important to keep in mind that beavers aren't dwarves. Not only can they all swim, they *enjoy* it. So instead of building bridges across streams, all you need to do (and all you should do) is build a stairs down into the water, a path along the riverbed, and a stairs on the other side.
This gives your citizens a mood bonus from having wet fur. Which is not, you might think, a penalty.
In #DwarfFortress, I'm tidying up after the recent elven ambush and maybe working out how to lose fewer dwarves to the next one.
Shannon PrickettNow that #DwarfFortress has consistent visual representation of dyed materials, the dream of dfpaint is in reach.
In #DwarfFortress, an elven ambush has arrived just as I was re-building the entrance, which has led to some dwarves' being stuck outside. Let's see how saving them goes (and whether the invaders manage to get run over by minecarts).
MitchLove how #DwarfFortress is advertised on the Steam store using cute cartoon dwarves while in reality it's graphics have just barely evolved beyond #Nethack on an ASCII terminal. 😚
My #DwarfFortress game is in a calm patch between sieges, so I think we'll be tidying up this evening.
Michael T BabcockDo you like #scifi and/or #fantasy, space operas, #adventure #books in general?
Once upon a time I was trying to get the maximum value out of an #Audible credit and discovered the Black Ocean series by J.S.Morin (who is also a #DwarfFortress fan!)
I *highly* recommend this listen. Its available as a "books 1-16.5" omnibus and there are *more* series when you're done with that one.
The narrator? Mikael Naramore. Truly incredible. Voice talent: 10/10. Recommend on all levels.
Esmulrakust faces its first goblin siege. It was built for this, though, so maybe it'll do better than Keskalokil did.
