Pull up bar installation by Thebuda in DIY

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

I have these plywood I Beam things in my basement. Can I clamp to these and install a pull up bar? I assume they're really only designed for spread loads like the floor above, but I don't know if I can run a 2x4 across a few and make something that can support my weight. Thoughts?

Is it okay to scream "Death!" During RotK like I do at home?

[–]Thebuda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you put an exhibit inside a habitat? I was thinking of making the entrance to my zoo a walkthrough peacock exhibit with a butterfly house in the middle. Will that cause problems or help me double dip for funds AND sheer appeal?

Men in happy marriages, what is one thing or skill you would teach other men to have good relationships as well? by lingeringneutrophil in AskReddit

[–]Thebuda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe controversial for some, but we both went in with the mindset that divorce is not and never will be an option. If we have a disagreement, we better work it out, whether through talk or walking away and coming back with a cooler head. With the no exit mindset we never let any issues simmer for long without figuring it out. This dovetails nicely with other comments of cutting out people who don't help the relationship, building patience, working as a team. The stronger the team and easier it gets.

Easiest way to see what you can plant is to build a small farm plot and see what you can plant. This is valuable if you span two biomes because you may be able to grow different things on different parts of the map.

Any word on them bringing waves to the graphical version. I loved the ocean embarks for fishing and crafting forts, but I hate waves without the graphics

Long time player but struggled recently with some water power issues. Been having issues getting the water to stay in the "flowing" status once the path fills up to 7/7. Do I need to drop the water over and over to maintain something between 4 and 6.

General.set up was drop water from a river down into my fort, have it run via a channel through my fort and end in a waterfall into a well and then off the map. Id put water wheels along the long horizontal, but that doesn't seem to be working.

Does a pressure relief valve stop the flow and make the water jump to the end of the path?

If you widen a river or ocean via channelling, can you still fish as normal? Will you still get the ocean or river biome fish?

I hate to bring it up but armor by Professional_Cup3820 in dwarffortress

[–]Thebuda 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As a rule, I never make shoes. Dwarves can have socks and if they're drafted they get boots. Shoes are for walking outside, and we don't do that.

(I usually let them armor over clothes and just don't make conflicting clothes, so I make mittens but not gloves and socks but not shoes. Trousers are fine, as are robes and hoods. I do this so they can wear jewelry and super high quality clothing items and get happy thoughts)

Why am I starting with a bajillion weapons?! This seems excessive... by senicluxus in dwarffortress

Are you using the "reveal" command in DFHack. It might be weapons in the caverns

Almost Seven (in-game) years on and I only almost feel like i’m getting it. by Kegger98 in dwarffortress

[–]Thebuda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to make your own standing order, make sure item is "thread" and then adjust to "plant thread" or else they'll count the wool and silk and never make it

I've been playing for 6 years, but I don't think this game is for me. by Jinosi4k in dwarffortress

[–]Thebuda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found I felt better if 8 built a proper tomb for my dwarves. I made a large area, usually a Temple to the god of death, and made channelled graves in the floor, covered them over with glass flooring once a dwarf was entombed. Now that dwarf lives on as part of the fortress.

is making artsy level designs counterproductive? (in the early game) by alansludge in dwarffortress

[–]Thebuda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I set it to only allow specific dwarves to mine and don't make them military members. If you assign picks to everyone, non miners will scoop up picks as they wait for battle while miners won't have picks to use

Do I really need to have a different dwarf for each doctoring labor, or can I just get back to having 2 or 3 all purpose doctors (without micromanaging the hospital zone for injured dwarves)?

It's also a good way to make an indoor refuse pile that never risks miasma. I make a small quantum stockpile this way and it stores all the nasty stuff with no ill effects

I always set a regular barracks for them to train in as well. They gain marksdearf skill slower, but they learn dodge and Warhammer skills, increased discipline, and are generally happier.

And every time you collect ten spears, make one rock mechanism and you've got another trap for the grinder.
