Cultiststeve: /* Merging */

I've had a Baron (and Hammerer and Tax Collector) arrive when my population was exactly 80 and when my population was capped in the init.txt file at 80. I'm confident that the requirement of 100 people is wrong. [[User:Bouchart|Bouchart]] 13:07, 12 December 2007 (EST)

Likewise, my current fortress has 134 people and 1.5M in created wealth, but no baron. I'm reasonably certain this must be some sort of weighted random arrival. --[[User:Sebbekai|Sebbekai]] 18:22, 6 January 2008 (EST)

2.5 Millon wealth, 232 dwarfs, 4K exported wealth. Last year I did all the jobs required, certain of that. I can only think its my exported wealth. I'm guna try raising it to just over 10K, do the jobs again and wait. Think this should be added to the wiki page, give a rough estimate of the number if i do get a migrant baron next year. (My populatin cap is 400 at the moment)--[[User:Cultiststeve|cultiststeve]] 16:16, 9 February 2009 (EST)

== Oops, I killed the consort ==

The consort was making mandates I could not satisfy, so he had to go. This has caused some kind of problem though... my fortress will not upgrade to a county so I can get the king. I am considering killing my baroness as well, and attempting to reset the whole situation. Any suggestions? --[[User:Wafl|Wafl]] 01:15, 17 April 2008 (EDT)

:Kiilll them! Kiiilll them! Kiiilllll them alllll! --[[User:Savok|Savok]] 09:52, 30 May 2008 (EDT)

== Hammerer and tax collector ==

Do the hammerer and tax collector always arrive along with the Baron? --[[User:Strangething|Strangething]] 18:26, 8 July 2008 (EDT)

I Don't think that its Always the case but it seems to frequently be the case for me; all of my forts that I allow nobles they tend to show up together. --Silver
:I suspect that some are prerequisite for the others, i.e. would a baron ever show up at a fort that didn't have a tax collector? --[[User:Corona688|Corona688]] 00:38, 23 December 2008 (EST)

They do come at the same time. Heck, my baron appeared first, even. But no, I think that the article has it correct.--[[User:Destor|Destor]] 19:47, 24 December 2008 (EST)
==Peasant King==

I got the [[King]] as a peasant due to discovering [[Adamantine]]. I don't appear to be getting a Baron, tax collector, hammerer or a royal guard. Is this a bug? -[[User:Rushyo|Rushyo]] 21:54, 28 July 2008 (EDT)
:The peasant king happens independently of other nobles in my experience. [[User:HeWhoIsPale|HeWhoIsPale]] 09:58, 11 November 2008 (EST)

== Minimum Exported Wealth? ==

Im pretty sure there's gotta be a Minimum exported wealth for the baron to arrive, I satisfy all the other conditions, and have over 1.6 million created wealth, 163 dwarves, and my dwarves do well over the job requirements. However, I as of now, only have 30426 Exported wealth. --[[User:OmegaX|OmegaX]] 16:13, 16 September 2008 (EDT)

Duke arrived at 32435 exported wealth. No baron yet. --[[User:OmegaX|OmegaX]] 00:37, 17 September 2008 (EDT)

:That's because the Duke is an 'upgraded' version of the count, which is an 'upgraded' version of the baron. Once you have a Duke, you won't ever get a Baron. [[User:Spoggerific|Spoggerific]] 17:31, 17 September 2008 (EDT)

::Once my exported wealth topped 10k I got the Baroness the next migrant season. I was down at 8k exported for about 3 years and had at least that many migrant waves without a baron during the same time. 17th of Slate in the year 308, population 139 (not counting the new tax collector thats just on the edge of the map), 1,912,970 created wealth, 235,635 imported, 11,558 exported. I've also traded with a group of Elves but they hadn't left the map by the time the migrants arrived and it only put my exported wealth to 11,958. [[User:Lando242|Lando242]] 11:38, 3 January 2009 (EST)

== share rooms? ==

does the baron and his consort share a room? or do I need to make an extra pair of tombs/dining rooms/bedrooms? --[[User:Destor|Destor]] 17:14, 10 November 2008 (EST)

:Yup, consorts demand all their own rooms, and neither will be happy if you try to cram them together. The only room that doesn't need to be doubled up is the office/throne room, since the Consort doesn't conduct diplomacy. --[[User:Navian|Navian]] 21:41, 10 November 2008 (EST)

== Incorrect Baron Prerequisites? ==

I just got a Baron, Tax Collector, and Hammerer and have never done a single metal crafting job. I did, however, Cage Trap a Titan in the previous month though. The quote from Toady One at the bottom of the Baron page would appear to be in error in this case. -- [[User:unseenmage|unseenmage]] 14 January 2009

:I think you are misunderstanding the quote. There are a variety of categories, and you must have done the required number of jobs for 4 of those categories. Nothing requires you to have specifically done metal crafting jobs (which would only count towards 'metal related' if you did do some). --[[User:Squirrelloid|Squirrelloid]] 10:33, 14 January 2009 (EST)

== Merging ==
I would like to suggest the merging of Baron, Count and Duke. Manager and his upgrades only use one page. Each is only a minor upgrade from another and has no vastly different requirements. It would make it easier to view them as they are all connected. Anyone agree/disagree?--[[User:Cultiststeve|cultiststeve]] 06:38, 14 February 2009 (EST)

does a dwarf's [[preferences]] effect their thoughts? ie: will having a room made out of gold increase the happiness of a dwarf that loves gold more than a dwarf who loves copper? --[[User:Kingzilla|Kingzilla]] 16:50, 7 February 2008 (EST)

Yes. It's actually possible to get room value higher than 'royal' this way!--though it only applies to that dwarf. I had a mayor who liked iron, and her office went from 'Decent' to 'Opulent' simply by me installing a forge with an iron anvil in it. --[[User:Navian|Navian]] 08:13, 6 November 2008 (EST)

:Sounds great. I've been meaning to do it sometime but I don't have the time, with my poor, task-slowing wiki-code skills.
:Note that a lot of this is probably wrong. You'll need some way to state what version each has been verified for, which, unless 0x517A5D decides to give us some more/more recent values, will probably always be 0.23.130.23a --[[User:Savok|Savok]] 22:18, 12 March 2008 (EDT)

maybe this should be the place where "happiness" is redirected to since it's important because it'll keep dwarves from going on a rampage...i think...or something.--[[User:Seaneat|Seaneat]] 08:48, 30 June 2008 (EDT)

"Was put off by a lesser's pretentious dining arrangements lately"
what does this mean?
someone ate at their dining table or they ate near someone lesser or ate some where poor?
--[[User:Seaneat|Seaneat]] 05:48, 1 July 2008 (EDT)

:They noticed that someone less important has a more expensive dining room. Probably your Count (or Baron, etc) thinking about your Mayor (or Count, etc) I'm guessing. --[[User:N9103|Edward]] 11:18, 1 July 2008 (EDT)

== Complaining about job scarcity ==

What can I do to prevent this? It's irritating for my workers to complain. I like to make my dwarves haul various things to my stockpiles located everywhere. Do dwarves like working at where they work best at? Does sticking all my dwarves into the fortress during a seige cause this? I'm good to disable it somehow. I should probably stick this in the manager or mayor discussion as they handle the complaints. I could activate pump activating and stone detailing and stick some useless pumps and never ending tunnels and rooms that need smoothing in my fortress... I heard this is a major problem as it's difficult to know and find who wants to complain with all the interruptions. They also work outdoors which has space for my lovely stockpiles. Oh right and economy must also be a reason too...dwarves need to pay to eat and drink. -__- --[[User:Seaneat|Seaneat]] 19:25, 2 July 2008 (EDT)

:It's due to the economy starting up, yes.
:My recommendation? Lever-pulling. It's a paid job (2☼/pull) and can (relatively) rapidly accumulate wealth for your otherwise unemployed dwarves. I'd setup a dozen or more levers and set the building profile to have only your (semi-)dedicated haulers allowed. The big problem, is that hauling doesn't pay anything, despite being one of the most important jobs for productivity.--[[User:N9103|Edward]] 17:42, 3 July 2008 (EDT)

::If you have magma or a chasm, you could, say, banish siltstone from your domain through the stocks menu. Each disposal pays 20☼. This keeps the lower classes occupied, and you can either remove the 'dispose' command through the stocks menu, or you can turn off refuse hauling for important dwarves. --[[User:Mirthmanor|Mirthmanor]] 16:30, 19 August 2008 (EDT)
::And actually, at least as of 40d, hauling earns 1☼ per completed job. Which, of course, is not much in most cases since a single hauling job may take a Dwarf from one extreme of the map to the other over complicated paths. I've seen a comment or two from people who've generated extra income for their haulers by creating a few contrived stockpiles that are adjacent and feed from each other. So, you have a situation like the following:
1234567890
1234567890
1234567890
1234567890

:: Each is a stockpile of size 4 of some common material available nearby. Stockpile 0 takes from stockpile 9 which takes from stockpile 8 and so on. A hauler can go from one to the next in a step, gaining 1☼ each time. -[[User:Fuzzy|Fuzzy]] 12:17, 29 October 2008 (EDT)

:: Just make a gym of screw pumps that are not connected to anything. Pumping pays pretty well and and it's easy to keep a lot of people occupied. Plus it trains fast, so you have beefy dwarves for other applications. --[[User:ThunderClaw|ThunderClaw]] 15:10, 29 October 2008 (EDT)

== Losing an annoying acquaintance? ==

I lost two dwarves to imps within the first year. The first one made my metalsmith very sad: "Lost a friend to tragedy recently." I was afraid he was going to go crazy on me he was blinking with every down arrow possible. Then, the ranger died... and now he is "happier" and "He has lost an annoying acquaintance to tragedy recently."

Can anyone confirm if the losing of an annoyance makes a dwarf happier? --[[User:Corc|Corc]] 00:29, 7 July 2008 (EDT)
:I guess it would, dwarfs can defenatly "dislike" another dwarf in their relations.

Cultiststeve: /* Dehydration */

" if you dig a hole in a wall diagonally to a water source, water can come spurting out even without you receiving a warning about damp stone." Is this true anymore? The dev notes for today's version (November 1st) mentioned making squares touching water diagonally get the damp marker as well. --[[User:BahamutZERO|BahamutZERO]] 15:51, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

== 26 directions ==

26 directions? Really? I've been digging out tiles UNDER bodies of water trapped in rock, much less diagonal to them along the z-axis, and I haven't run into any flooding problems yet.--[[User:Xazak|Xazak]] 18:44, 3 November 2007 (EDT)

:If you dig a tunnel underneath a body of water, you retain the ceiling overhead. If you were to remove this ceiling (e.g. by digging a ramp or stairway upwards) then the water would certainly flow.

::It would, except digging a ramp doesn't remove the ceiling...in fact it's impossible to dig upwards into water. You can't designate anything on the water tile above, and nothing you do below removes the ceiling...I tried in vain, and was sorely dissapointed. 'Specially since Toady did it one of his movies. Let me know if you get it to work, though. --[[User:Turgid Bolk|Turgid Bolk]] 14:10, 6 November 2007 (EST)

:::You can currently ramp up into a water source and have it release the water down in version v0.27.169.33g. --[[User:Stravitch|Stravitch]] 16:39, 23 January 2008 (EST)

:::Build an upward (or an up/down) staircase on a level below and designate a downward staircase on the level above. Downward staircase is essentially a modification of the floor (ceiling) into a hole with stairs. Water doesn't flow in 16 up/down+horizontal directions (doesn't flow up+horizontal under pressure). Be warned that digging directly below a lake or a river is safe despite "dump stone" warning but digging into stone directly below an aquafier is NOT safe.--[[User:Another|Another]] 02:35, 4 December 2007 (EST)

::Redirected fun to here. ;) --[[User:Turgid Bolk|Turgid Bolk]] 14:12, 6 November 2007 (EST)

== Starvation ==
According to the starvation section you can gather plants if you dont have soil to farm on, but as far as i know plants only grow above soil layers [[User:Thatguyyaknow|Thatguyyaknow]] 08:57, 19 January 2008 (EST)

:If you make rock muddy, you can grow on top of it. [[User:Calculus|Calculus]] 15:16, 25 August 2008 (EDT)
::But if you don't have soil to farm on, you don't have plants to gather either. And getting the soil muddy can take far too long, especially early on. --[[User:Sharp|Sharp]] 10:14, 26 January 2009 (EST)

On another note. When testing for the up/down stair of hell (and some way to fall), most of my dwarfs died from starvation! Then a dwarven caravan arrived, and my little skinny fella did run there to eat directly from the wagon. I had no trade depot so the caravan was at the border of the map. Don't know if it is documented somewhere ! I searched the wiki with no luck. --[[User:Karl|Karl]] 15:40, 28 January 2009 (EST)

:I've had a few dogs die at around the five-year mark (these were ones I brought to the fortress when embarking).

== Volcanic Death ==

Insofar as I can tell, the [[Losing#Volcanic Death|Volcanic Death]] section seems to be essentially fabrication as of v40d. I've never seen a volcano erupt, and doors are utterly invulnerable to being melted or set on fire when closed, if memory serves. Also for some reason I suspect that obsidian doesn't melt in lava, although I could be imagining that one. Comments?--[[User:Quil|Quil]] 18:02, 2 January 2009 (EST)
:Closed doors don't melt, unless something changed in the last five or so seconds. I regularly use doors to hold back magma, and have a basalt door doing so in my current fort. Obsidian stones do melt in lava, however. It's possible that you've never seen a volcano erupt because you've only had a magma vent and not a volcano, because as far as I know they aren't the same thing.--[[User:Eurytus|Eurytus]] 20:38, 2 January 2009 (EST)
::Oh, that's right. Forgot about that. Though I do expect it'll be changing eventually. --[[User:GreyMario|GreyMaria]] 22:37, 2 January 2009 (EST)

::Okay, yes, apparently I was hallucinating that obsidian didn't melt in lava. Having specifically hunted down volcanoes to attempt to build fortresses in on several occasions, I'm reasonably sure that eruptions haven't been implemented yet unless I'm very lucky or eruptions are very uncommon. Unless the comments that Toady intends to increase the dangerousness of volcanoes are way out of date, it's not actually been implemented yet.--[[User:Quil|Quil]] 15:12, 3 January 2009 (EST)

:::Well, they do refill, maybe that's what he meant? I do still hope he'll make them erupt, though. But it's easy enough to simulate an eruption - just channel the rim. --[[User:GreyMario|GreyMaria]] 15:23, 4 January 2009 (EST)

:::I, too, relish the challenge of building magma forges in a region that occasionally fills with high-pressure magma. Either a lot of fun when you get it right, or a lot of [[fun]] when you get it wrong.--[[User:Quil|Quil]] 07:46, 5 January 2009 (EST)

:::There is still the bottomless pit bug where a large amount of magma spawns above a bottomless pit. I have experienced it my self. This will cause a large amount of that magma to flow over the edges of the pit and kill nearby creatures. It also will magma purge almost anything inside the pit, including lighting coal and lignite on fire.--[[User:i2amroy|i2amroy]] 13, January 2009

::IIRC, the only case of volcanoes "erupting" was when magma refills were first implemented and DF was unable to judge the correct height to refill magma to in saves from older versions. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 16:08, 20 January 2009 (EST)

Has anyone ever seen an eruption that came normally from an existing magma pipe years after embarking and not because of a bug? If not, I don´t think there should be a section about it, but probably a section about having "fun" with bugs generally. --[[User:Kami|Kami]] 08:57, 9 February 2009 (EST)

== A joke, right ==
This is a joke, right? My Dwarf Fortress is entirely self contained, I have a secret back door (a drawbridge) that can be used for the brave lumberdwarves, and all of my farming is indoors on sand. I am almost done making my fort bolt-proof, from where my drawbridge is, and I have enough food without farming for at least 5 months. By that time I could have 20 trained fighters ready to repel the siege. I got really lucky with fort design, but even a normal straight down fortress should have little problem waiting for a bit while they train.--[[User:Destor|Destor]] 18:28, 27 January 2009 (EST)
:I believe that while, yes, many experienced fortress builders have indeed made their fortresses utterly invulnerable, and the section does indeed contain some humour, sieges are still a fairly common way to <s>lose</s> have [[fun]], so it's entirely valid to put it in the "how to lose" section. I assume that, since you have no problems with the other entries, that you regularly flood yourself or starve to death, rather than fall to goblins?--[[User:Quil|Quil]] 00:16, 28 January 2009 (EST)
::Well, I have one fort, mentioned in this entry, that is my perma-fort which I savescum to keep alive. It's kinda my research fort, for the wiki and how to make other forts. But yes, I do make other forts to flood for the fun of it. I enjoy sieges immensely though, I am goading the elves into attack right now. I just think that the article makes to big a deal about it, and newbs are gonna be very scared of the first siege.--[[User:Destor|Destor]] 09:45, 28 January 2009 (EST)
::: When I made my first fort, I didn't know how door and bridge were useful. Then I make another fort, and so on, until I learned how to defend my fortress. Yet siege was a problem for me, even more with dwarf rushing outside to grab all the cool loot (from my own dead dwarf). So, no, it's not a joke, you can lose your fortress from a siege, then you learn.
:::Not everyone read all the wiki, there's a lot of articles, lot of discussions, and way more thing to do. --[[User:Karl|Karl]] 09:56, 28 January 2009 (EST)

These are nobles you can appoint through the Nobles & Administrators Screen.

* [[Expedition leader]]: Listens to the complaints of other dwarves to make them happier. Uses [[social skills]]. Needs an [[office]] in order to meet with outpost [[liaison]]s. It is not possible to reassign this post – at least while the original holder of the title remains alive. Your initial expedition leader is chosen based on managerial skills. You will find that your broker is often 'volunteered' for this job by the other dwarves. Note that if there is no obvious candidate for Expedition Leader, it is chosen randomly. Additionally, if your Expedition Leader is slain and you do not choose a new one, a random dwarf will be volunteered for the job after about half a season.
** [[Mayor]]: Promoted from expedition leader at 50 dwarves. Unlike the expedition leader, he requires decent housing and will make [[mandate]]s. The dwarf who acts as mayor is replaced by election every couple of years, but can also be re-elected.

* [[Outpost broker]]: Utilizes the [[appraiser]] skill and [[social skills]]. Is the person you send to the [[depot]] to do your [[trading]]. Lets you see the imported/exported wealth of your fortress.
** Changes name according to the status of your [[fortress]].

* [[Manager]]: Utilizes the [[organizer]] skill. Allows the use of item build queues through the {{K|j}}obs -> {{K|m}}anager screen. Will need an office to do this (validating work orders) once your fortress has twenty dwarves.
** Changes name according to the status of your [[fortress]].

* [[Bookkeeper]]: Utilizes the [[record keeper]] skill. Lets you see the stocks of your fortress. Needs to do occasional jobs in an office of their own if you want precise stock keeping: otherwise, stock numbers will only be precise to one significant figure (e.g., 7163 -> 7000, 7823 -> 8000).
** Upgrades to [[treasurer]] at 100,000 fortress wealth.
** Further upgrades to [[grand treasurer]] at 200,000 fortress wealth.
** Further upgrades to [[hoardmaster]] at 300,000 fortress wealth.

* [[Sheriff]]: You may choose a dwarf to become the Sheriff after your fortress reaches a population of 20.
** [[Captain of the guard]]: Promoted from the sheriff once you reach 50 dwarves, along with the [[mayor]]. Activates [[fortress guard]].

There is substantial overlap between the expedition leader and the outpost broker's skills, so you may wish to assign them as the same person if you have time for one dwarf to both meet with traders and meet with the outpost liaison. The same office can be used to take stock and to conduct meetings, saving on real estate and decorating costs in the early game.

== Immigrant Nobles ==

These nobles appear in [[immigration]] waves and cannot be appointed by the player.

* [[Dungeon master]]: Trains and cares for [[animals]] and performs miscellaneous metalsmithing tasks.
* [[Philosopher]]: Has no labor options turned on, but has no requirements and makes no mandates.
* [[Baron|Baron(ess)]] arrives at 80 dwarves and an unverified exported wealth.
** Upgrades to [[Count|Count(ess)]] at 110. {{verify}}
** Upgrade to [[Duke/Duchess]] at 140.
* [[Baron Consort|Baron(ess) Consort]]: Arrives with the [[Baron|Baron(ess)]].
** Upgrades to [[Count Consort]] at 110. {{verify}}
** Upgrade to [[Duke/Duchess Consort]] at 140.
* [[King]]/Queen: Ruler of your parent [[civilization]] and upgrades your fort to Mountainhome
* [[King Consort]]: Occasionally same gender as the King, although this has been fixed in the dev log.
* [[Advisor]]: Arrives with the King's entourage.
* [[Hammerer]]: He will enforce the law with his mighty [[hammer]]. Arrives either at 80 dwarves or with the Baron (equivalent).
* [[Tax collector]] : Activates [[dwarven economy]]. {{verify}} Arrives either at 80 dwarves or with the Baron (equivalent).

== Meager Offices ==

'''Here I will document my fortresses story's, read if you like.'''
'''Fortress the 1st'''(Name lost in records) ''This was my first expedition into Dwarf fortress, cant say that much because I was to busy working out the controls. I will tell you what remains in the archives though.'' I embarked with 1 guy with a load of social skills. The rest had the usual assortment, I followed [[Your first fortress]] very closely. I chose to embark without an anvil, a breading pair of cats and dogs, food and a few mining pics. Notice closely that I embarked with out an anvil, this was my downfall. Using the location finder I found an average area with quite a few trees. Following the advice I found the edge of a rather small hill and dug inwards. Then I went down. Carpenter and mason workshops went up just outside followed by stockpiles and the deconstruction of the wagon.
''This might be a bit blurred, only started my diary during the fortress of Anamanam Mabdug''
Ill tell you the story of the anvil. I started without one. I was happily making everything out of stone for a while, stone and wood. By the time the first dwarven caravan arrived I hadn't even looked at the trading page. I don't think I had a deport either. I just * spaced* through the liaison meeting not knowing what to do with them. During the spring of next year I started to realise my need for metal. Reading throguh the wiki again I read with dismay about obtaining an anvil from a caravan. I thought to my self, "Hang on a bit, they will be here in a season or 2".
