This is a game. On it is an image of a dwarf. The dwarf is burning.

Oh, and apparently the rain in some locations can get so hot that it fucking melts you.

Fantastic.

Now, this isn't technically true. Most of your body is not actually able to melt.

Just your fat.

And then it bleeds profusely.

You can edit the raws to remove the ability for fat to melt. It's in material_template_default.txt, under FAT_TEMPLATE, just set MELTING_POINT to NONE. The raws are in either /raws/objects or /data/save/regionX/raw/objects. The first is for any new worlds you generate, the second is for any worlds you have already generated.

If you want a more entertaining choice, go to tissue_template_default.txt and edit the VASCULAR tag under FAT_TEMPLATE to be [VASCULAR:0] instead of [VASCULAR:3] (or just remove the tag entirely). That'll allow your fat to boil off (leaving a trail of grease!) without killing you.

So in order to play an adventure mode game along side my fortress, I generate a new world and elect to play it in adventure mode somewhere during the process? I just really don't want to screw anything up.

Should I go for parameters if I'm just going to be screwing around?

Am I missing the entire process?

Yeah, just generate a new world. It won't interfere with your current game.

You can't play multiple games on the same world because of the potential for you to, say, kill the shit out of your fortress, as well as issues regarding the game calendar.

SwissLion

Ok awesome, time to go strangle some jerks.

Macera

Oh wait, I guess I actually didn't modify the creatures right

Man, now I confused

Garthor

Did you edit data/save/regionX/raw/object/whatever.txt, /raw/object/whatever.txt?

The first applies to one specific world you have created, the second applies to any NEW worlds you create.

Macera

That was it, thanks man

Nerdgasmic

Can dragons and other beasts fly properly in this version?

Zen Vulgarity

Stranglin' vegetarian zombies for two minutes to go from a shitty wrestler to legendary is kinda fun

Meta T. Dust

These mother fuckers will not stop wasting turtles

WHY ARE YOU NOT DOING SOME SHIT WITH THOSE TURTLES, I CAN LITERALLY THINK OF 20 THINGS TO DO WITH THOSE NOW ROTTEN TURTLES, NO THANKS TO YOU.

Druhim

those turtles came from bad homes

Zen Vulgarity

Fucking asshole turtles

Meta T. Dust

Also where the fuck did this dude get some fuckin' steel, why did he make bolts no one has a crossbow.

Zen Vulgarity

Look get a motherfucker on making dem bows and you got some bolts for dem bows

Meta T. Dust

WE AINT GOT SHIT TO MAKE BOWS

SEE HOW THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT SHIT COULD OF BEEN LIKE AN AXE FOR ALL THESE TREES

PRETTY SURE THAT IS A TREE ARMY

Artreus

If you have all your dwarf fortress stuff in one folder, you can safely just copy/paste it somewhere else and the have two versions of the same world to do whatever you want with independently from each other.

Zen Vulgarity

MAYBE YOU NEED TO STAB SOME MOTHERFUCKERS WITH THEM BOLTS THAT AIN'T MAKING THEM FUCKING AXES FOR THEM FUCKING TREES FUCK

I've wanted to get into this game since I first read about it, but I'm afraid I'd need at least a day to learn all the basics.

I'm the kind of guy who always sits through the tutorials.

Stealtharcadia

This thing, right here, has killed more dwarves than any army ever did in the previous version. This cave crocodile is death itself.

Stealtharcadia

After a wave of migrants being recruited immediately, I had about two squads armed with a bunch of oddball weapons assaulting one crocodile. He managed to kill and critically injure 6 of the dwarves, before he was run off the map. That's right, we didn't kill him. We chased him off the map. He's still out there, waiting.

I've also sealed off the underground cavern and I do not intend on going back there for a long, long time.

I love this game.

I just had this feeling this morning at 1 AM, spent five hours hitting buttons and I barely have anything down.

I don't remember the name but some bro made a video tutorial which helps you ease into the game, If I can dig it up I'll link it.

Captain Duck's 10 Minute Tutorials

Haven't watched em myself but, I'll give it a whirl and see how it goes.

Its a 40 part series by the way

Also I just saw the first image, I can finally build fucking workshops after enabling the types of stone I was digging up, oh this is gonna be good.

OmegaTofuNinja

I can never find the quest dude that everyone's like "oh you should talk to this dude if you want something to do"

Druhim

OmegaTofuNinja

QUESTION

If I start a game and my emback screen has like 4000 points for buying equipment and skills for my bros, am I about to walk into a crock of shit.

VALVEjunkie

yes

load up on armor, food, weapons, and war animals

AND DONT FORGET TO PUT POINTS IN YOUR DUDES SKILLS

L|ama

depends what area you're heading to

technically you can get everything you need by just taking one pick and an anvil or something, but that is like super hard mode

usually I take 2 picks, a battle axe, an anvil, and a bunch of food/seeds as well as buying as many skills as possible.

Meta T. Dust

There are a shit ton of buzzards, and I brought 4 war dogs, there is blood fucking eveerrryyywheerrreeeeee.

The dogs are fine, I mean Buzzard blood.

Also its raining do I have to give a shit?

L|ama

rain refills the little ponds that evaporate over time and doesn't do a lot else, unless it's in a really hot place in which case it melts the fat off your dwarves. Nothing big.

Depends.

Is this rain made of blood?

OmegaTofuNinja

So this crossbowman was pissing me off for some reason, so I walk my wrestler right up to him and start wrestling him. Next thing I know I've been mortally wounded and am still getting shot from point blank range. So I do the logical thing and strangle him to death as he tries to shoot me. I ended up getting in is bed and sleeping until I bled to death.

Rest in peace Nuclearbomb

Meta T. Dust

Nope its normal rain, gonna keep mining all these fucking gems.

God damn this is the fucking powerbomb factory of gems.

L|ama

don't cut them all, if someone goes into a mood they might need rough ones.
