The first kobold to arrive stabbed him with a knife. One unlucky dwarf armed with a table leg was guarding the food. The kobolds, however, broke into two parties and sent a second smaller party down to raid our supplies and steal our weapons, going behind the dwarves’ backs with the hope of mounting a surprise attack. Armed with chair legs, hot pokers, and anything else they could find, the dwarves bravely ran out to face their invaders. The dwarves raised the alarm and ran to the armory, but I didn’t have enough weapons and armor for them all. Then one smart kobold learned to disarm traps. Occasionally kobolds attacked, but the traps always kicked their asses, so I felt there was time.
DWARF FORTRESS DUMP FROM CAGE HOW TO
I was still learning how to make an army, so I simply loaded up on traps and worked on training soldiers and creating weapons as I went. Written by Aquillion Posted in Fortress Mode | Tagged Player POV, Theory of DF | 2 Replies Losing is Fun Ask how they manage to stay sane the rest of the time. Wouldn’t you go mad, too?ĭon’t ask why your dwarves go insane or throw tantrums. Eventually, the vision begins to fade and you realize you can no longer remember what the artifact you’d waited your entire life for even looks like. And when food runs out, you’re reduced to grubbing for rats, beetles, and worms in order to survive.Īnd then, when inspiration finally strikes–when you finally a chance to do what you’ve been dreaming to do for your entire life, the one reason you really went through the hell of this horrible fortress, the one true Dwarven dream–when you finally feel inspiration strike you and can see the form of your artifact in your head, you end up wasting three months doing nothing as your incompetent leaders fail to provide you with the necessary materials. Filthy new immigrants are constantly being shoved into your fortress’ cramped quarters, forcing you to work yourself down to the bone to get new quarters ready and leaving you with barely enough food to get through the winter. Horrible creatures regularly crawl out of your drinking water and try to murder you in your beds. If you make a mistake or fail to meet a production order, the sheriff cuts you to pieces with an axe. Wild raccoons and other horrible monsters are just waiting for the chance to rip out your throat. Friends and relatives die regularly and are sometimes just left to rot on the ground. Portions of the fortress are covered in noxious, wretched miasmas of decay so thick that they actually obscure your view. We’re talking rats and vermin crawling over you while you sleep and eating the food out of your hands.Īnd don’t forget the other things. We’re talking about having the fortress that you slaved to create crawling with rats.
It’s not so strange for extremely tough, previously self-reliant types of people to completely flip out when faced with that sort of thing.Īnd we’re not talking about ‘seeing a rat’.
When a dwarf gets a serious wound, though, they are likely to be maimed for life. It’s easy to say that they’re snapping easily when you’re just looking at things from outside the monitor and reading events in lines on the screen. The guy telling you to hide them is just trying to make them easy to find on the stocks screen (they'd have an H beside them, so you could mark them for dumping, then unhide them in the stocks screen), but that's way too much work, because then you have to look for hidden weapons, armor, socks and all that other crap goblins might be wearing.You have to look at it from their perspective. Once the items are in the dump, use d-b-c to reclaim them.
This will make it so that your dwarves take the stuff off of the prisoners and dump it, without throwing the cage itself into the dump. You don't need to expand the list, you can undump a whole stack of cages at once. Now, go to the stocks screen, go down to cages, and *remove* dump from all those cages. Make sure you have a garbage zone set up. If your cages are already all in one place, you can skip this part. I suggest making an animal stockpile that allows only goblins + trolls (and that does *not* allow empty cages), then have that stockpile take from all the other stockpiles your cages are in.
