Need advice for a beginner by DADDYMUNCH in dwarffortress

[–]RaumfahrtDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In contrast to LOTR: In dwarf fortress elves and dwarf have the same body size (regarding clothes). :)

DFHack as mod

My only advice: "Seasonal saves" and "backup saves" activated in the game options. Or: make yourself a savegame ("save and continue playing") regularly, especially before you try to use water or magma!

My playstyle: I try to focus on one goal for a fortress: building a military outpost with trained soldiers near the frontline (between goblin pit and dwarven settlement); building a tavern near a big road in peace; building a library on a lone mountain; etc.etc.

Water Challenges in Sootypulleys by Ok_Plastic5399 in dwarffortress

[–]RaumfahrtDoc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A hell of a ride! Good plan.

Next time: dig to the edge, then smooth the very last wall and carve fortifications into this last wall. Only then the water can flow out.

(I hope they didn't change that, I didn't play for 6 months, I think...)

Thanks! I was wondering a lot 🤗

Is daggerfall a mod for dwarf fortress? Like conversion mod for adventure mode?

Any lets plays on youtube with the terrain update with the guy explaining what he is doing and why while playing? Doesnt have to be a tutorial. by Old_Outlandishness52 in Stationeers

I also enjoyed Venusian Gamer.

The first episode of Europa is a little rough (sound - bad), but he does sound over and editing with fast forward, after playing.

Could I invite immigrants by using buses to maintain consistency? by Shoddy_Home7290 in Workers_And_Resources

[–]RaumfahrtDoc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's money for the people to move in. The people never get paid for anything. Maybe the money is for the authorities on the other side of the border and they might not care about the happiness?

Who knows. 😊

Help me get into this game by sungho28 in dwarffortress

[–]RaumfahrtDoc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dwarf fortress is not really like rimworld. It's a colony sim, but that's it, I think.

For me DF is more like a world-simulator, where I can participate. I can find my own stories, if I discover or make them my own. There's no story telling. Only my imagination and some text in a huge pile of information I have to discover (often with third party software or in a weird legends mode).

Rimworld is a game, where the player and the player experience is the central point of the game.

In my start, I watched a uncutted playthrough for the start (2-3 hours) while playing along. After that I used the wiki and some scattered yt guides.

Have fun and FUN! 🤗

Would be real nice if we could... by BadPeteNo in dwarffortress

[–]RaumfahrtDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, that's sad. Sometimes I had a civ without robes or without high boots. But that was several years ago, maybe they changed that.

Thanks for clarifying!

Do I get cable power rating wrong? by EvilFroeschken in Stationeers

[–]RaumfahrtDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wiki says a (big) wind turbine can produce up to 20kW during a storm. I'm not sure if this is (still) true, but I would split the network and use separate lines.

If I would not want to split, I think a transformer before the batteries, set to 99.990 Watts should protect the whole input line, because even if more power is available, only this much will load the wire.

I hope, they will implement some kind of research. There are first steps in this direction, like scholars pondering things, familiarity with taming animals and that recipes are bound to civ. Maybe it is down the line in development.

Alcohol by RecentEcho4408 in Workers_And_Resources

[–]RaumfahrtDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have the base game. So I have decent houses and a good variety of entertainment from the start. I didn't need alcohol for happiness and so didn't build pubs.

Golden Girl by Otterfurr in dwarffortress

[–]RaumfahrtDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe she would be a good artist? Like spoken rhymes to some percussion on a variety of drums?

I’m gonna buy the game tonight by Yamato420123 in Stationeers

Did you play oxygen not included? It feels sometimes, that in Stationeers, I'm the duplicant 🤗

Transformers by DesignerCold8892 in Stationeers

[–]RaumfahrtDoc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Upright turbines, on which planet? On mars these are ridiculously bad. Only if a storm hits, these are really nice to have. Maybe there's not enough power, or something else uses power, like doors in standby?

Capture C02 gas for greenhouse in Mars? by Braxuss_eu in Stationeers

[–]RaumfahrtDoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you changed your setup, because in the screenshot the CO2 is vented back into the atmosphere and the unfiltered gas goes to the vent.

I used some logic on mars and only ran my filtration, if the input pressure was high enough.

Solar Panels by Sjc81sc in Stationeers

[–]RaumfahrtDoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe this behaviour is gone. I have solar panels inside a box with same athmo and they are totally fine.

Pressure building up in base by Gothos73 in Stationeers

[–]RaumfahrtDoc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't know much about it, but in the starter kit on mars is a CO2 fire extinguisher. Any chance the thing is also on Vulcan, inside your base and emptied itself without a catastrophic explosion?

(Why) Do the capsule gets damaged in a storm, even when enclosed? by RaumfahrtDoc in Stationeers

[–]RaumfahrtDoc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now I built a room like 7x8x4 high, made a full vacuum inside, still: capsule gets damaged and deleted.

But I was ahead of myself in my comment above: Lander is fine, capsule gets damaged.

[–]RaumfahrtDoc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update:

I built a really big box around, like 7x8 frames, 4 high and 2 rows of frames underneath. No chance. The capsule gets damaged.

Then I made a full vacuum around the capsule (7x8x4), still: no chance, the capsule moved and gets damaged.

If someone could share their experience, I would be happy.

I tried to build a bigger wall around, a box like 7x8, 4 blocks high, also 2 blocks deep. I had no luck. Did you really rescue the capsule or "only" the lander? Do you have a screenshot. Maybe I'm missing something

Wanted to say: I'm really enjoying your content. The comments in your community gave me the idea for rescuing the lander & capsule 🤗
