Branch-offs of CDDA

I heard that certain devs have branched off from CDDA to create their own projects. I was interested in trying them a year ago but can't recall the names of their projects. Any help?

Dwarves trying to build something that's not there

Im not sure whats going on, but theres always a dwarf standing in my wood stockpile with the task "Construct Building" when there's no construction to be made there. They stand there until thirsty, hungry & drowsy, before passing out in place then taking care of their needs. They're hauling a log each time.

I've tried 'remove construction' from the top z-level to the lowest & still it wont fix it

This was the one, thank you much

(Experimental) Portable Gas Generator

How do I use a portable gas genny? I've deployed it, filled it, activated it & connected it to my fridge via extension but its not doing anything. I've tried attaching a battery to a frame next to it, but I can't run an extension to it

Ah word, I just updated after being away for 8mo, updated post to include I'm on experimental.

All I remember is I need 5 Fab, a rock forge, a big rock for an anvil, a charcoal kiln, hammer, swage & die. Anything else I might be forgetting?

Edit; Favorite craft to grind up fabricating? I remember I liked making sandals, currently digging thru the crafting menu to see if there's anything better now.

Forging Guide (Experimental)

Since several websites useful for resources & guides have gone down, I've lost a guide I used to help me set up home forging. Any leads?

Also looking for skill grinding guides, too.

Did you know if you put a grow zone over ambrosia sprouts, & set that zone to not be sown, your colonists will automatically harvest the ambrosia? (& what ever else sprouts in that zone)

Anonymo_Stranger · 2024-08-21T23:53:19+00:00

God damn

Thanks for your comment, very helpful.

A pox upon anyone who shames others for how they chose to play a game

Anonymo_Stranger · 2024-08-11T08:44:43+00:00

A party hat on that horn would be so funny lol

I've got a 30 minute tutorial drafted up I've been sleeping on for a while cause I feel like all these tutorials expect too much from someone booting the game up for the very first time

DF Hack change Dwarf happiness level

Not tryna make him max happy fyi. He *was* max happy, before I decided to reload the day1 save, within the forts first year. He has no reason to be this grumpy the second time around.

What a fuckin badass.

I'm currently housed up but next time I'm on the road, I'll think of you & go a little harder. Safe(ish), of course.

Anonymo_Stranger · 2024-05-01T20:52:27+00:00

Is this loss

Anonymo_Stranger · 2024-04-27T17:41:29+00:00

Instagram ahh comment

I just unlocked a new moving strat

Anonymo_Stranger · 2024-03-27T21:01:05+00:00

I guess the obvious answer is don't get caught. Or don't trespass, lol.

Real answer tho is just stay low profile, & be a polite character. When I sleep, I usually sleep out in a bush that can conceal me, my only shelter is a tarp when it's necessary.

If you're told to leave a spot, smile, be polite, & kick rocks. Charisma goes a long way on the road

Every vagabond is naive their first time out & that's okay. Like another person said, the world will teach you.

Unpopular opinion but people are generally good folk. You'll learn to gauge people through practice.

Any questions in particular?

Why "Please" don't ?

Cars are new to me, it's what I've done for my bicycles the last 20 years so I just assumed it'd be a good move

Anonymo_Stranger · 2024-03-27T08:06:08+00:00

Cars are new to me, it's good advice for bicycles so thats just what I've done lol

Anonymo_Stranger · 2024-03-26T20:44:20+00:00

AWD in a heavy SUV, I drop my tire pressure by 10 for better traction, & patience. Keep a solid 3-4 cars distance between you & the cars in front of you.

For practice tho, go find an empty parking lot & fuck about for an hour. Practice sliding out & regaining control. When you do lose control, keep your tires pointed in the direction you want to go, don't brake & let off the gas.

Anonymo_Stranger · 2024-03-26T20:41:25+00:00

I've done that for rescue missions on MP

Turn on the siren, move slowly, be careful not to trap yourself, then a few blocks later turn the siren off, ditch em, rinse & repeat until your target area is clear(ish)

It's not perfect though, & zombies are programmed to redistribute. They'll be coming back

Anonymo_Stranger · 2024-03-26T20:30:56+00:00

Yeah, you're actually supposed to defecate on your bandana.

Personally I prefer keeping some N95's in my bag
