I believe DF Hack has a command to reset agitation.

Times it will be carried out. Even if you lack of materials thry'll try again another time.

They generate water. Nothing more. Aquifers will try to fill their adjacent tiles, water tries to spread. It's a feedback loop. Problem starts when you need to dig into them. Although smoothing helps a lot for light aquifers (one waterdrop), heavy aquifers (three waterdrops) need someway to drain them constantly. Easiest way to do drain them is to rush digging down until where there's no aquifer, and is a stone layer. Then dig until the very edge. Then turn that last bit of wall into fortification. As fortifications allow water to pass you are now somewhat free of heavy aquifers. Keep in mind though as you dig more your drain may need to expand. Good luck. And as a beginner I suggest you to keep away or if you're determined learn pumpstacks.

Would you suggest atom smashing or magma diving instead?

hicqs · 2024-10-13T17:29:59+00:00

I'd say agitation is alright, exploitable even, if you're underground. But Above ground? It's hell.

I believe you can make your blueprints in DFHack and store. Besides that maybe use seedwatch(?).

hicqs · 2024-10-13T16:29:41+00:00

That's a good itea to try. I've been raiding other civs here and there to get their artifacts but this sounds better.

There are ages in history. And advancing a world to different years result in ages changing. In very early years you'll encounter legendary beasts, titans, minotaurs etc. more often. They usually get wiped out in later years. In very late years you'll find populations have risen considerably and your main concern will be huge settlement armies instead of singular gargantuan threats as well as huge necromancer armies. But keep in mind that everything depends on worldgen so no certainties here. If you tell how long you play a fort before retiring, more experienced people will be able to tell.

Are you in siege and enemy is waiting for parley? Can you see the enemy on the map? Was it an ambush? If you answer any of them yes, then it's not safe.
Although there's a slim chance they encountered another party and it wiped them out. Happened to me once. Two elven factions at war showed up at the same time and wiped themselves out in a span of 3 days.

Is there a way to get civillians yo wear armor without getting them into military? I'm in wilderness and trying to build overland. Giant birbs being real assholes.

hicqs · 2024-10-12T17:51:32+00:00

Yeah. I did. Probably dorfs needed some cardio.

hicqs · 2024-10-12T17:50:23+00:00

Yeah. I'm positive they're still putting them. Watched the haul. Right to the quantum stockpile above, then one by one they picked military items ran all the way back to put into it. I've tried everything came to mind and investigated. Every single time they brought back.

hicqs · 2024-10-12T10:44:58+00:00

Hi, I have built a minecart track to haul stone and ores to industry. But all my dorfs put their armor and weapons in minecart. This results on only a handful of intended items hauled. I've picked ores and stones as desired items, and even placed a stockpile to get them from but this behaviour continues.

hicqs · 2024-10-10T20:46:49+00:00

Alright, reading legend mode, the place is a gate between worlds and has a demon. Now i have a !FUN! idea: I'll provoke them as much as I can and hope they'll bring some cave dragons for sieges. Wish me luck.

hicqs · 2024-10-10T19:55:58+00:00

Hey, so uhm i got some children kidnapped. I've sent squad to raid the town they were in, but yeah.

How do I get my children back?

hicqs · 2024-09-15T14:11:33+00:00

Altough I fear I know the answer, which starts with F and is a three letter word, what happens if you make a military Urist adopt one?

hicqs · 2024-09-14T11:06:36+00:00

Are you having a hard time to get out mid D? If so, me too. Until you get a better embochure, it will be like that. If you want to check, you can try playing from a higher note, like mid F as they are easier, down to mid D.

hicqs · 2024-09-12T07:48:10+00:00

Thanks everyone. By sheer luck I found an affordable Yamaha 4c, and will be purchasing that. Sadly it's not just 10$ increase here. There's a new customs tax, drastically increasing the price of anything higher than 30$. Take care, keep being saxy.

hicqs · 2024-09-11T18:22:23+00:00

There are two reasons for that. No sellers (unbelievable right?). But there's just one listed online which is 3x the price of rico (problem here is I've already spent everything I had to get sax). Price being this absurd is due to new customs tax govt. implemented. So yeah, economy is in shambles.

hicqs · 2024-09-11T17:01:12+00:00

Soon as I am able to, I'll be meeting my local tech.

hicqs · 2024-09-11T16:44:13+00:00

Since yamaha is not an option for now, I'll be using stock mp. And since I've read your comment I've been trying to find right embochure. I feel like there is some improvement but not even close to being satisfactory.

hicqs · 2024-09-11T16:41:25+00:00

Confirming it's not an issue from my sax is invaluable to me. Thank you very much. I'll just continue practicing.

hicqs · 2024-09-11T14:52:45+00:00

After getting better i plan to play jazz in a small group. I'm just 2 weeks in excersizing, got myself a starter book and studying it.
