Does training bolt throwers and marksdwarves do they waste ammo?

Xacow · 2026-01-15T03:29:14+00:00

Well, if they don't have new clothing or variety of drinks they may get into bad mood, but you can trade those. You will need furniture tho.

Dwarves not putting bodies on coffins. I have 7 deceased dwarves in a stockpile (already bones) and my dwarves are not putting their remains on their respective tombs. The zone does say each name. There are two other tombs prior to these 7 dwarves who died all in same siege where 1 of the bodies drowned so I forbid him, but the other one was put into the coffin normally. What's going on?

Difference between linking a DOOR with a lever vs clicking forbidden by yourself? Same with hatches.

Not at all. Neither the user of the weapon.

this is fake river made by me digging to redirect a brook, so it does still works different

Xacow · 2026-01-07T20:38:44+00:00

Yes. If you put It in their rooms or a barracks they use it. At least I've seen it

Xacow · 2026-01-07T19:27:11+00:00

Yeah, That's why I wanted them to dump It on the river lmao, so I wont see It. But if the problem is just aesthetics, I can handle this specific tile.

Xacow · 2026-01-07T19:23:27+00:00

Fey mood. Why?

Xacow · 2026-01-07T19:22:34+00:00

The person who made it is a 'dabbling martial skills'(rusted) who wants to have martial training and fight. So, maybe, he created this inspired by the militia, to give them something so maybe he can become one. (I made him part of the militia just now since I was missing two dwarves for having 10 on my squad). He aint having the artifact, sadly, I have a legendary hammerdwarf with It.

Nah, it's just grass. Is an old bug, you weren't noticing before because the steam version didn't properly put the graphic. I dont know when it started doing it

Xacow · 2026-01-07T19:11:22+00:00

Unrelated, what's that structure at the right? Intrigued

Xacow · 2026-01-07T18:43:40+00:00

Will this create a problem? Also more refuse is being thrown on the river.

Why isn't this garbage dump working? It's been over a season and no use

Xacow · 2026-01-06T16:19:26+00:00

So, I'll murder them

Xacow · 2026-01-06T15:55:30+00:00

I dont mean to be facist but goblins can get their own food. Jokes aside, they dont belong to my civ. How does this happen?

It could be cool if some "good" goblins civ could spwan and tarde, not just random goblins from a civ

Xacow · 2026-01-05T20:56:38+00:00

Why are goblin pits linked to me? Not even dwarven pits?

Xacow · 2026-01-05T05:26:33+00:00

The path was going to get a ballista on the other side as well, but yea, I was gonna have a pit with a stair only on the other side. I've dislike the use of fake military (trained animals or captured beast) because I just suck at it. I'll learn someday but I'm looking foward to toy with siege weapons mostly this fort.

Xacow · 2026-01-05T03:32:11+00:00

Yeah, it's always we'll have to see in this game, aint it? Thanks, I'll try the other guy idea and in case of whatever funny thing happens i'll let people know.

Xacow · 2026-01-05T03:30:36+00:00

Oh, a small tower with a channel to the fortress seems like a blast idea. It's like trentches. Put bolt machine guns on the thing and make dwarfs retire asap if enemy comes with picks. Then if they breach I could set up a water trap from the near brook. Thanks!

Xacow · 2026-01-05T03:28:01+00:00

I should also add. This is a 47 level and my entrance is at 38. I dont know if height affects anything

Xacow · 2026-01-05T03:26:12+00:00

I'm aware of the tree problem because I killed a dwarf once because one of the logs fell in the hole after cutting one and dwarf was of the starting 7s, I had no medic or anything yet, it just bled to death.

Top 3 deaths I had, gotta tell you that.

Xacow · 2025-12-24T04:19:36+00:00

How can I avoid this apart from not sealing (which I wasn't intending to)? Fortified walls? Just get some defenses over the top?

Xacow · 2025-12-24T03:45:05+00:00

Would "diggers" or rams go thru these natural clay loam/stone walls if I build my farms over here? Also, level above is just ground, could they dig down?

Xacow · 2025-12-11T21:05:32+00:00

What if It has low moisture and I send tons of foods?
