This is a game. On it is an image of a dwarf. The dwarf is burning.
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.
I love this game
so much
I disabled the safeties on world generation once. As in, I dropped the minimum temperatures to absolute zero and the hottest temperature to the surface of the sun. I embarked to an area with freezing temperatures. My dwarves instantly turned to ice.
I decided a trip to the sunny seaside would be better. When I got there, the entire beach had turned into glass and the ocean vapourized into steam. My new batch of dwarves were instantly incinerated.

I started out in a nice river area. There was a beautiful waterfall that I decided to base my fortress around. Every day the dwarves would pass by areas open to it and be bathed in the cleansing water and mists of the falls.
Later, after many, many goblin attacks, I built a platform at the top and metal spikes at the bottom. Now in addition to water falling off the cliff, prisoners and corpses are also flung off the tower and land on the spikes.
I brought atleast 40 of everything, did they really flush through that?
check your supplies
which is z if I recall

I made a waterfall of my own. I dug a huge pit about 5 or 6 z-levels deep at the base of a cliff, kind of wide-ish and routed a river off of the cliff.
I did not make it deep enough. Everything flooded. I had miners furiously channeling away through the hills to the south to get the water to drain. Unfortunately the miners in this game can't channel for shit without falling in and drowning themselves. I hope they fix that sometime.

Actually there's a hospital zone now. I've got a ton of beds, chests full of crutches, splints, plaster powder, sutures, traction benches, wells for water and several full time doctors and nurses. Too bad you cant name hospitals though.

This is my new favorite thing. Building a one tile wide bridge into my fortress. Line the bottom with upright spikes and spears. Cover the bridge with weapon traps.
Enemies will either get maimed by the traps, or they will leap aside to dodge them. That's right, leap into an abyss filled with spikes.
Two things that have happened to me so far of note.
A giant mole stole some of my food from right under my wagon and was untraceable like some kind of goddamn furry ninja. My only fear is that these things can come and go as they please through stone or dirt alike. If it gets hungry? POP. Mass panic. Loss of food. I just pray they don't steal booze or breed rapidly.
I once embarked and a bronze colossus starts on top of my wagon which immediately kills everything in sight.

Oh my god the Commander and Captain are saving the day and massacreing this entire goblin attack on their own, swatting aside all the arrows. What's even more amazing is that the Captain is doing this single handedly. As in her arm was lost in a fight with an Ettin and an alligator a year ago.

Oh god, Adventure mode runs like poop on my little netbook, and I was just so lost and so bad at it. I couldn't even strangle that fish gutter to death when I couldn't find the battle with the frogmen that the announcements were constantly telling me about.
I will stick to town management for now.

Is the still for something else? like some that alky? I got one on the way from the mason just cause it sounds like a necessity.
they only drink ACTUAL water when there is no booze and even then they hate it
so yes make a still or five
What the fuck kind of savagery is this, people only drink from the tap? :< BULLSHIIIT VALVE
Alcohol is the thing they greatly prefer to drink and they get depressed without it.
You might not have brought much alcohol with you when you embarked? You need barrels and plump helmets to make it
what the fuck are you talking about
oh art just explained it waaay better

Nah, they don't eat or drink all that often. If you started with 40 things of booze, you got enough for a while
On an unrelated note, these alligators are getting awfully bold
check your supplies

What is the best looking tileset?
Twitch (I stream most days of the week)
Twitter (mean leftist discourse)
there is a reason for this!
tilesets are broken as of the new release
sucks for you!
Fun fact: dwarves have 50% more liver relative to body size than humans.
yup
Just when I thought I was done with Dwarf Fortress it drags me back in
So anyone want to play a bloodline game again?
Crisis averted

This is correct. Even my awesome turn couldn't save it (DEATH TO BUTTCLEFT).
Estimates on how long until we have a comprehensive radiotherapy system?
kpop appreciation station i also like to tweet some
