My Questions yet to be answered (thanks Emmanovi)

  1. Why do caged dwarfs starve to death in the prison? Shouldn't they be fed? Is this a bug?
  2. Why would a dwarf (hammerdwarf) not eat (starve himself to death)? He just stayed in his room. The door wasn't lock or anything, and their were plenty of different types of food/alcohol. Can a preference for food be soo big that they don't eat unless that specific food is there?
  3. How do pressure plates and water work really work? If I have a pressure plate that activates at 5, why doesn't it ever "reset" if the water goes below 5?
    I'd like a pressure plate that closes a floodgate when the water reaches 5, then opens when it goes below 5. I build the pressure plate to activate from 5-7 (resets is selected), link it to an open floodgate, and then nothing happens. Even when the water is 7, the floodgate doesn't close. Also, I've mastered the stone traps and the cage traps, how do I use the large steel balls/great axes traps?
  4. The graphics don't work for me. Why? I have the files in the folder, edited my init.txt, and still no good! Why does the text get smaller when I make the grid larger?
  5. Why does the hammerdwarf KILL other dwarfs for justice when the prison is empty? I've a full 10/18 royal fortress guards. If I recruit the offending member and equip him/her with armor, does that help?
  6. What is a full set of armor for each of the settings? How do I know easily if I need more of a certain type of armor?


Comments/suggestions

  1. Why list all the deceased on the units page? Excluding them would make the list easier to use/more informative. I don't really care that I've killed Xing bob the kobold. I'd much rather a quick list, perhaps even excluding the 200 tame animals so I can quickly look at hostiles. Maybe an ability to hide them from the list?
