Grumbledwarfskin: /* Happy Thoughts */ Admired a <quality> <object> recently also applies to architectural buildings

{{quality|Exceptional|15:52 27 December 2011 (UTC)}}{{av}}

'''Thoughts''' are the reported observations and sentiments of the [[Dwarves]] in [[Dwarf fortress mode|Fortress Mode]]. Over the course of play, a dwarf will experience things that make them more or less happy, with each experience recorded and displayed as a Thought. The rate at which a dwarf gains certain thoughts is controlled by [[personality]].

Dwarven psychology is relatively simple. There are Good Thoughts and Bad Thoughts. Lots of Good Thoughts will make your dwarves ecstatic [[party|party animals]] who have lots of [[children]]. Too many Bad Thoughts and your dwarves will throw [[tantrum|tantrums]]. Too many tantrums and the Bad Thoughts will [[Fun|spread]]. If you wish to avoid Bad Thoughts, please consult ways of [[keeping your dwarves happy]].

The change in [[Status icon|status]] that triggers bad thoughts about thirst, hunger, and fatigue can also slow the speed at which a dwarf works and moves. To view a dwarf's recent thoughts and current happiness level, press {{key|k}}, move the cursor to the dwarf, and press {{key|enter}} twice. (Or {{key|v}}, move to the dwarf, then {{key|z}} and {{key|enter}}.) Now you will see a page describing the dwarf's feelings and thoughts, physical description, and a set of phrases describing personality traits. A dwarf's level of happiness will affect the type of [[strange mood]] they fall into should they be chosen for one.

Below are thoughts your dwarves may experience over the course of a game. For a full list of the game's programmed thoughts (whether or not they appear in gameplay), please see the [[List of Dwarven Thoughts]].

Grumbledwarfskin: Rewrite to move links to text describing the content, rather than word like "this" or "here"

The in-game '''music''' is played on a 6-string guitar by [[Toady One]] himself. [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=651.0 Partial tabs to the game song] have been provided by Toady One on the Dwarf Fortress forum. This inspired LoopyDude to provide [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=54611.0 a complete fan made tab]. A [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=82490.0 piano arrangemet] by Occoris/Sirocco is also available which layers additional parts together with Toady One's original.

The Dwarf Fortress File Depot contains several [http://dffd.wimbli.com/search.php?string=music&id= alternative sound packs]. Existing music is in .ogg format, replacing these files with your own music in .ogg format would allow your choice of music.

Music can be turned off in the [[init.txt]] file, and the volume can be adjusted in the {{key|Esc}} menu.

v0.31:Minotaur

2011-10-26T01:37:08Z

Grumbledwarfskin: Fixed nobutcher tag

{{Quality|Fine}}
{{Creaturelookup/0
|death=nobutcher
}}
{{av}}
{{creaturedesc}}

'''Minotaurs''' inhabit Labyrinths (marked with a {{Raw Tile|#|0:7:1}} on the Travel map). As you explore the labyrinth, the Minotaur will taunt you until you find and kill it.

In Fortress mode, they will attack your fortress once it reaches 50 population, 5000 exported wealth, and 50000 created wealth. They can be quite dangerous, easily overpowering normal dwarves, but a well-equipped military should be able to take care of one. They are susceptible to traps and can easily be restrained via a cage trap and can then be used in a labyrinth of your own.

In Adventure mode a quest may be given to slay a particular Minotaur that may have previously killed other adventurers in the history of the world. Upon entering the labyrinth the butchered corpses of these fallen adventurers can be found throughout the labyrinth

v0.31:Glaze

2011-10-14T01:49:24Z

Grumbledwarfskin: Added values of glazes.

{{quality|Fine|18:04, 28 April 2011 (UTC)}}{{av}}

'''Glaze''' is a special coating that can be applied to jugs, {{L|statue}}s, large pots, and {{L|trade good|crafts}} made from either {{L|stone}} or {{L|ceramic}}. Jugs made from earthenware cannot be used to store liquids until they have been glazed, while jugs of other materials (and other containers in general) have no such restrictions.

Two types of glaze can be applied: {{L|ash glaze}} and {{L|tin glaze}}. Glaze is applied at a {{L|kiln}} or {{L|magma kiln}}, and the type of glaze to be used cannot be chosen - the nearest glaze material to the relevant worker will be used and the corresponding glaze will be applied.

The application of glaze to stone and ceramic goods is performed by dwarves with the {{L|glazing}} labor enabled and grants experience in the {{L|glazer}} skill.

Glazes otherwise work like decorations but they do not have quality levels. Ash glaze increases the glazed item's value by 50☼, tin glaze by 100☼.

== Bugs ==
* Since reactions grant experience for [PRODUCT]s and do not grant experience for [IMPROVEMENT]s, glazing does not grant experience. {{bug|4577}}

v0.31 Talk:Archery

2011-09-27T16:24:11Z

Grumbledwarfskin:

For some reason, my dwarfs are are
1) assigned to Train on the M screen in scheudle...
2) equipped with quiver and bolts and weapon...
3) have archery targets outside which have the T next to their name....

Hmm....and they say they can't follow the order..........eh....... :/

:That can happen if you haven't modified the training schedule for your dwarves so that less than ten of them are required for the training to happen. As of 0.31.25, if your squad is fewer than ten members, you must change the required number of members in the training schedule for them to do any group training at all. [[User:Grumbledwarfskin|Grumbledwarfskin]] 11:58, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

v0.31:Barrel

2011-09-27T16:21:55Z

Grumbledwarfskin: Added information about workshops built from barrels

{{av}}
{{Quality|Fine|06:02, 6 July 2010 (UTC)}}

{{furniture|name=Barrel
|tile=÷|col=0:6:0
|wood=y
|metal=y
|glass=N
}}

'''Barrels''' are storage units that, like {{L|bin}}s, {{L|large pot}}s and {{L|bag}}s, conserve {{L|stockpile}} space by containing several items of the same type. They can be made out of {{L|wood}} at a {{L|carpenter's workshop}} (requires one {{L|log}} for each barrel) or forged from {{L|metal}} at a {{L|forge}} (requires 1 {{L|metal}} {{L|bar}}s). Non-magma {{L|forge}}s also require one {{L|bar}} of {{L|fuel}}.

For information on managing barrels in stockpiles, see {{L|using bins and barrels}}.

When a barrel gets empty again after being used it will be used again after being hauled back to a furniture stockpile.

For most uses, barrels can be replaced by a stone, {{L|glass}} or {{L|ceramic}} {{L|pot}}.

Barrels are used in building {{L|tanner's shop|tanner's shops}}, {{L|dyer's shop|dyer's shops}}, and {{L|ashery|asheries}}. Using a valuable masterwork or {{L|artifact}} barrel to build one of these buildings can significantly increase fortress {{L|wealth}}.

== Bugs ==
Due to the {{L|Known bugs and issues#forging Breastplate & Chainmail|forge reactions bug}}, most metal items require only one metal bar to be constructed.{{version|0.31.03}} Once this is fixed each barrel will most likely require 3 bars of metal (as in previous versions).
