{{quality|Exceptional|20:18, 26 December 2010 (UTC)}}{{av}}

In Dwarf Fortress, '''creatures''' are defined as any (for the sake of this article, non-{{L|vermin}}) beings you can interact with. They come in all shapes and sizes, and range from the civilized races like {{L|dwarf|Dwarves}} to evil monsters like {{L|giant cave spider|giant cave spiders}}. Various creatures will interact with your fortress in many different ways.

==Reading the Table==
{{CreatureCurrent table head}}
|}
The above columns indicate, in order:

'''Symbol:''' The symbol assigned to the creature, how you will see it without a graphic set.

'''Name:''' The name of the creature as it shows up ingame.

'''Hostile:''' If "Yes" then the creature will attack on sight, if "No" then the creature is either neutral or friendly. {{L|Undead}} creatures are always hostile.

'''Food Source:''' If "Yes" then the creature can be butchered into edible substance that your dwarves will feed on.

'''Adult Body Size:''' The size of the creature when an adult. This can be anywhere from 5,000 ({{L|stingray}}, {{L|cat}}) to 25,000,000 ({{L|dragon}}). Equals more or less the creature's volume in cm3. These sizes do not correspond to the sizes which trigger {{L|pressure plate}}s.

'''Pet Value:''' This is the value the creature can be bought and sold for as a {{L|pet}} during {{L|trading}}.

'''Biome:''' Where the creature can be found.

'''Features:''' Any special features the creature possesses, these can include things such as {{L|cave blob|causing a syndrome}}, {{L|dragon|breathing fire}}, or {{L|giant cave spider|spinning webs}}.

Pugi: made speed112 a great user page :D

<div style="text-align: right">I have a terrible user page! Feel free to edit it.</div>

I am called Speed112. I am regularly available in the [[IRC|#dwarffortress channel on quakenet]] ([irc://irc.quakenet.org/dwarffortress link]). Altough i am a bit dumb i'll try to write something useful.

v0.31:Melt item

Pugi: added {{av}}

{{av}}

Melting a item will destroy it, but will often yield a bar of the melted item's material. Melting an item requires fuel.

Pugi: /* Seeds */

I had the entries sorted by RAW order, for easier editing. As it so happens, it's also a rough order of importance, too. If someone wants to order it by any particular attribute, that's what the little icons at the top of the table are for. --[[User:Eagle0600|Eagle0600]] 19:15, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

== Product Value ==

Where did those product values come from? The material values of dwarven syrup and dwarven sugar are both 20, dwarven syrup is listed as 100. I realise that it probably has something to do with stack size, but that is not made clear. Also, is it verified for this version? This is why I was hesitant to add those values. --[[User:Eagle0600|Eagle0600]] 19:35, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
:The product value given is the value of the products created from processing one plant. As you surmised, it's the stack size. A single plant will process to a stack of five syrups, hence the value of 100. This is consistent with how the wiki has presented it in previous versions, since it's more useful for comparisons that way. You're right that it does need a footnote, or something. --[[User:Morlark|Morlark]]
::How about the other values? Has it been ''verified for this version'' the number that each process produces? For instance, doesn't processing thread produce more than one thread for each plant? --[[User:Eagle0600|Eagle0600]] 05:17, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

== Seeds ==

I was wondering which reactions give seeds and which don't. I'm not sure if it would be appropriate to list here or not. Is cooking the only reaction that does not give seeds for all plants? Do both brewing and milling cave wheat give seeds?
:Brewing has been verified to grant two seeds per plant. --[[User:Eagle0600|Eagle0600]] 05:19, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
::Are you sure it always gives two seeds? In 40d it gave 1-2 seeds when the plants were eaten/brewed/milled/processed. --[[User:Pugi|Pugi]] 08:04, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

== Plant Value ==

The value for plants is 2*StructuralMaterialValue for all plants I've seen. Has someone tested the values of those with only 1 value? I know which part of the raws ''could'' do this, but I want to see it verified that it ''does''. --[[User:Eagle0600|Eagle0600]] 05:21, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
:I did not veryfiy the values, i just calculated the value by [MATERIAL_VALUE:x]*[VALUE:y]. In some cases there was so [VALUE:x] tag, in which cases i used 1. I don't know if these values are correct, so someone has to check them for correctness or just remove/change them, when it is wrong. --[[User:Pugi|Pugi]] 08:01, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

== About IRC ==

The abbreviation IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat, a form of chat protocol. It is a text based communication method for multiple users at once. IRC networks are usually free to use by anyone and do not require any form of registration, only a nickname has to be set prior to connecting. The actual chatting takes place in channels which can usually be created or joined by any user.

The common way to connect to the networks is to use special IRC-Clients such as [http://www.mirc.com mIRC] (shareware, waiting time at startup) or [http://www.xchat.org XChat] (freeware), but also many multiprotocol messengers like [http://www.miranda-im.org Miranda IM] or [http://www.trillian.im Trillian] or web browsers such as [http://www.opera.com Opera] support the IRC protocol. Another quick way to join the networks are using Java-based clients that can be used from any internet browser. For more information on how to use these programs to connect to an IRC network a quick internet-search usually results in many helpful tutorials. For more general information on IRC visit [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat].

== How to use IRC ==

The currently most used IRC channels for Dwarf Fortress as of March 2010 are [irc://irc.newnet.net/bay12games #bay12games] on irc.newnet.net with around 90-110 users at any time ([http://irc2go.com/webchat/?net=NewNet&room=bay12games&nick=&name=Dwarf+Fortress+Wiki+User webchat]), [irc://irc.quakenet.org/dwarffortress #dwarffortress] on irc.quakenet.org with 40-50 users ([http://irc2go.com/webchat/?net=QuakeNet&room=dwarffortress&nick=&name=Dwarf+Fortress+Wiki+User webchat]) and [irc://irc.synirc.net #df] on irc.synirc.net with 40-50 users ([http://irc2go.com/webchat/?net=synIRC&room=df&nick=&name=Dwarf+Fortress+Wiki+User webchat]).

Users with an @ in front of their name and staying at the top of the nick list are operators, they have to power to kick or ban misbehaving users. Any chat input that begins with a / is considere a special commands that is not sent to other users.

The most commonly used commands are:

/nick <newnick>

to change your current nickname to the specified new nickname, provided that it is not used by another user.

/join #channelname

to join a new channel on the current network. If there are no users on the specified channel it will be created.

/query <nickname>
OR
/msg <nickname> <message>

to open a private communication window with the specified user or directly send a message without opening the window.

== Some helpful hints about using IRC ==

* A double-click on a nickname will open the query window with the user on most client programs.
* Typing the beginning characters of a nickname and pressing Tab will autocomplete the nickname on most client programs. If there are multiple possible nicks cycle them with Tab.
* It is possible to connect to multiple networks at the same time. For mIRC the command to use is /server -m <server address>.
* Activating message timestamps in the options helps a lot for following the conversation.
* There are many good IRC tutorials available on the internet, just search for them.

Welcome to the Dwarf Fortress Wiki. This is a collection of user-submitted guides, information and advice for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roguelike Roguelike] game [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ "Dwarf Fortress"]. Dwarf Fortress is a game for Windows, Linux and Mac, developed by [http://www.bay12games.com/ Bay 12 Games] featuring two modes of play, a distinct, randomly-generated world (complete with terrain, wildlife and legends), gruesome combat mechanics and vicious schools of [[carp]].

Pugi: /* New engine */

==[http://new.df.magmawiki.com New engine]==
Possibly might have been nice to put some comments here about the new engine. I hope I'm not just talking to ghosts.

For all it's technical issues - it is very easy to find out how to do things using mediawiki, because, there's that great big mediawiki people can go look at when they need to work something out.

Secondly, I am finding the look of the "new" wiki... hard do read. Possibly the default "skin" is a crock of shit? (Are you doing your work using the default skin? If not - isn't that a hint?)
Thirdly, I tried to sign up. Still no response?[[User:GarrieIrons|Gar]][[User Talk:GarrieIrons|rie]] 06:05, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
:I honestly did not expect the number of people playing around with the new wiki engine as there has been. So, you're not talking to ghosts, and this wiki will remain primary and editable for quite a while still (probably until sometime after the new release). I'm still working on enabling functionality in the WYSIWYG editor on the new wiki, which will hopefully make it easier to use. As a random aside, the new wiki is a bit harder to use for people who are used to mediawiki, but significantly easier to use for people who have never used a wiki before in their lives. If you don't like the new skin, feel free to modify it. I just played with it a little bit - the community modifiable css file is at http://new.df.magmawiki.com/*css . I deleted your user account just now, as I'm not sure what broke with it. I'll look into logs, feel free to recreate it :V. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 06:52, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
::The side margin is currently huge - much less space to work with, will stretch articles way down. (Nice graphic of the kitten butcher - puts the "b" back in "subtle".) Maybe we should set up a specific page where people can discuss this, if any are interested? --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 07:09, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
:::I shrunk the side margin quite a bit just now. Let's see how that works. Discussion is fine by me. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 07:23, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
::::Well, apparently there are a few other missing features that were advertised as implemented, namely including templates and redirects. Because of this, I'm going to go ahead and shut down the alt site here unless anyone raises any objections here in the next 24 hours or so. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 13:17, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
:::::By 'alt site' you're referring to the wagn, right? It seems like careful use of "forms" can reproduce a bit of the functionality of wiki templates, but it's going to be much more complicated and it's not going to be as powerful. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 13:53, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
:::::While i am still having a few problems with the new wiki engine i see much potential in it. I think many useful template-like cards can be made and it seems to be highly configurable. --[[User:Pugi|Pugi]] 14:14, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
::::::I am indeed referring to the wagn. I'll leave it up for experimentation then. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 15:30, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
:::::::Also note that at least [[User:Briess|Briess]] and [[User:Pugi|I]] are in the IRC in [irc://irc.newnet.net/bay12games #bay12games] on newnet.net and [irc://irc.quakenet.org/dwarffortress #dwarffortress] on quakenet.org most of the time for a more direct form of communication about various wiki discussions. --[[User:Pugi|Pugi]] 11:41, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
:I just read a "comment" on the new site, as follows...
This page needs the table from the old wiki. ... I may do it myself eventually,
but for now I am just throwing up articles as fast as possible...
:If we're talking about a new approach to versions, pages, etc, is this ''really'' the right time to double our workload? More, if we have to learn a new code? (Or, two, in my case, ahem.) What exactly are the goals we are hoping to achieve with the wagn engine? I think Briess mentioned "easier for a new User to learn" - do we not have enough users editing now? Many current users are editing because they know the code from other Wiki's - if "everyone" has to learn it anew, new or not, will there be "more" than now? (And this doesn't address the issue of appearance, which I'm still deciding on.)--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 12:31, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
::I can not state how strongly I feel that this is not a good idea. We do not need to move to another entirely different type of wiki especially when we have a new version being released. In all honesty if this wiki isn't going to exist and it will move to a more inferior version then I'm not going to be a part of it. Not to make it sound like a "threat" but MANY other games function extremely well using wikia.com to host their wiki. If Briess intends to let this wiki die and insists on another wiki software then I'm going to work on starting up a new wiki. Because all the talk on the new wiki seems to imply that the goal is to use that software, I set up [http://dwarf.wikia.com/wiki/Dwarf_Fortress_Wiki DF wiki on Wikia.com]. I don't intend to develop it, but will go that route if this wiki is going to disappear. [[User:Mason11987|Mason]] ([[User talk:Mason11987|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Mason11987|C]]) 14:58, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
:::You fail to read. "Well, apparently there are a few other missing features that were advertised as implemented, namely including templates and redirects. Because of this, I'm going to go ahead and shut down the alt site here unless anyone raises any objections here in the next 24 hours or so. --Briess 13:17, 28 February 2010 (UTC)" --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 16:30, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
::::(I had some discussion with briess over this on [[IRC]] and the reason for the wanted change is, as he said, the horrible stability of the mediawiki engine. But the move to the wagn eninge will probably also not happen, as two main promised features (templates and redirects) are not available in on that engine. And briess and me were both agreeing that at least templates are a must for the Dwarf Fortress wiki. And i also suggested wikia as another candidate but according to briess it is worse than mediawiki. So if you have any ideas on how to stabilize/optimize this mediawiki wiki or have any other wiki engine advice feel free to tell them.) I wanted to post this 10-20 minutes ago but then the wiki crashed again... luckily i quickly copied it after it took such a long time to save the page. So much to mediawiki stability :D --[[User:Pugi|Pugi]] 16:33, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

==Request for Adminship==
[[Dwarf Fortress Wiki:Request for Adminship]]
* I want to find additional admin(s) for this wiki. If you think you'd be a good admin, post here and get community consensus behind your adminship electionism stuff and whatnot. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 09:10, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
** What does it take to be a good Dwarf Fortress Wiki admin? What does an admin do? And which skills are required to do it? --[[User:Nahno|Nahno]] 17:39, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
***This. What is an admin's job here? --[[User:SenorPwnage|Señor Pwnage]] 03:49, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
****Basically, a wiki admin will help me track down and block spammers, clean up articles, and otherwise helps shape policy and encourage activity. An admin doesn't have the right to go out and be a douche, nor do they have the right to say "I'm an admin, thus my article edits are better" nor "I'm an admin, do as I say". Hopefully that makes some sense. --[[User:Briess|Briess]]
** As conceited as it sounds, I'd like to put myself in the running for this position. I've administrated a wiki before, and tend to check back in here a lot anyway, and can catch a lot of what goes on. --[[User:Aescula|Aescula]] 20:41, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
** I'll toss my hat in the ring. Haven't officially logged on in a while - been posting as [[User:75.62.155.145]]. I've got a mess of articles and rewrites to my name, and have been unofficially steering folk along DF Wiki philosophical lines, but I'll have to learn some of the "behind the scenes" wiki code.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 09:51, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
** Let's make an official way to do this, create a subpage of this requests for adminship page (IE, [[Dwarf Fortress Wiki:Request for Adminship/Albedo]] and fill out a template that I'm about to make --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 09:59, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
** 'All users are encouraged to vote on adminship requests'. How exactly does one vote for a particular user?

*The wiki has a new owner. <s>His first act was to add advertisements to profit off of our volunteer labor</s>. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 20:09, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
** THE ADVERTISEMENTS MUST FLOW! actually, I just moved them from the bottom to the side because the bottom stuff was breaking some of the layout code. [[User:Briess|Briess]] 20:36, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

*Another discussion regarding general style and philosophy of the wiki, at [[Dwarf Fortress Wiki talk:Community Portal#We_spoil._Do_we_spoil_too_much.3F_Do_we_detail_pointlessly.3F|Dwarf Fortress Wiki talk:Community Portal]], asking whether or not much of our detail is pointless. --[[User:Savok|Savok]] 02:21, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

*Screenshots! Take interesting screenshots of parts of your fortress. Upload them to the wiki. Put them [[template talk:sg|here]] and see them on the main page. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 12:19, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

*There is currently a discussion regarding the general style and philosophy of this wiki, of "what deserves its own page" on the [[Talk:Main Page]]. Any and all are welcome to chime in.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 05:34, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Pugi: /* The fine art of dwarven room appraisal */

==Smoothing walls==
"Walls with ore or gems cannot be smoothed, much less detailed." Is this still true? I'd heard that smoothing/engraving of ore veins is now possible. And yet again, I can't test because I'm reading the wiki at work while waiting for a database query to finish... >_> --[[User:Alfador|Alfador]] 17:28, 31 October 2007 (EDT)

:I deleted the comment about not being able to smooth ore or gems, because you CAN in this version (they all count as different types of rocks). Boo whoever copy pasted the article without looking at it.

::what was the point in aechiving old wiki if people are going to copy and paste, please people if you are going to copy paste thourghly read the article to ensure all info is correct, i didnt read past this so there may be more but rooms are no longer diamonds, this is somehing really obvious and should have been picked up on by whoever copy pasted it otherwise we may as well stick with edditing old wiki. [[User:Thatguyyaknow|Thatguyyaknow]] 20:08, 31 October 2007 (EDT)

==room value==
Is there a way to check what price a room currently has without counting it yourself? Just wanted to know if I counted right. --[[User:Mizipzor|Mizipzor]] 15:33, 4 November 2007 (EST)

My dwarves' thoughts have lately included reference to dining in a "legendary" dining room, but the best one I currently have is listed as "Fine" when I assign it to someone. Does this correspond directly to the value of the room (I intend to bring it up to Royal to find out) or is there something else at work there? [[User:Dolohov|Dolohov]] 10:55, 15 November 2007 (EST)

I have a proper closed bedroom in silty clay loam. There is a masterpiece bed in that room. The price of the bed is 120. The rental cost of the room is 99. Most (all?) other bedrooms also have their rental cost less then the sum of the furniture values. There could be 2 explanations:
1) rental cost is not exactly equal to the room value in this version.
2) the way room value is calculated is substantially different from the previous version.

Does anybody know of a more recent study than the Draxxalon one? It's really, really old, and even my limited testing has shown that it is very, very wrong. I'm hoping that there's something more recent that we can use to fix it before resorting to the gutting that it most likely would otherwise require --[[User:LegacyCWAL|LegacyCWAL]] 11:16, 20 February 2009 (EST)

: I just started looking at this in earnest yesterday. I built a dorm complex of several nearly-identical rooms and wanted to verify that there was at least some stratification so poorer dorfs could find a place to sleep. The algebra isn't hard to do, so I'm going to see if I can dig out some bedroom test chambers and get verification. My driving goal is to quantify the value of wall tiles, floor tiles, smoothing, and engraving; initial poking around seemed to imply that all furniture except for the bed contributes its sticker price to the room. --[[User:Jurph|Jurph]] 19:50, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

:: I'm also looking at this. Though, mostly in respect to royal quality rooms. I've built a room above-ground entirely out of obsidian blocks and masterful clear glass windows... assuming every obsidian tile is therefore worth 15 (164 ground tiles, 42 wall), and every window is worth 1500 (there are 16 of these), the room should be worth 27090, with no other objects. Added two giant spider silk bags to get the value to 30150, and it is still grand. I'll play around with this some more, as I'm baffled as to how this isn't yet royal quality. -[[User:Belathus|Belathus]] 17:26, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

::: How large is your room Belathus? From what I've observed the larger the room the higher the value. For intance I built something like a 5x5 office for my duke containing only a masterful limestone chair and table with smoothed floors and walls and it went up to grand. I forgot to check if the noble liked limestone, tables, or chairs though. Secondly based on some observations in block housing it would seem the lowest rent possible is 21? 10 for a no quality wood bed and 1 for each connected sand floor and wall (it doesn't count the corners apparently!) 0 for the door it would seem (i used obsidian) unless its interior (untested). I'm wondering though, is there any difference between soil, sand, and value 1 rock? -RampagingFrodo

=== Influences on room quality ===

:''As a bonus, a single chest, cabinet, armor stand, and weapon rack will count as three of each, for every noble in the room. (This works because most nobles have three rooms; if they see a chest in their bedroom, study, and dining room, they ''obviously'' have three chests, right? Nobody accused the nobles of being particularly bright.)

:000173 ▪ (0.22.120.23a) [dwarf mode][nobles] if you have a noble claim the same item with three of their rooms, it'll count three times in their holdings number

Am I reading the changelog right? It looks like this bug was fixed in 23a. --[[User:Jackard|Jackard]] 02:31, 26 November 2007 (EST)

In that same section, it states that the value of a shared room is quartered. I've seen several times on the forum that the value of a shared room is only halved. This should be checked as well. --[[User:Skanky|Skanky]] 03:14, 28 January 2008 (EST)

:I've only seen it as half, but I typically assign the two rooms to the same noble. It could be that it's quatered if you assign the two rooms to two different nobles (and same for more rooms to one noble vs more than one).--[[User:Draco18s|Draco18s]] 17:42, 3 March 2008 (EST)

Question regarding rent: does anybody know the time period that a bedroom's listed rent refers to? For instance, if a room's rent says 44☼, is that per month, or per season, or what? --[[User:LegacyCWAL|LegacyCWAL]] 13:45, 30 January 2009 (EST)
:Aaaaaand just saw another discussion that said that no, nobody knows. So nevermind then --[[User:LegacyCWAL|LegacyCWAL]] 11:16, 20 February 2009 (EST)

=== The fine art of dwarven room appraisal ===

I researched factors affecting room value and exact parameters for calculating it based on bedrooms. Here are results.

1. Room consists of tiles. Every tile showing as part of the room (flashing when querying one) adds to '''base value of the room''' (walls and floor tiles alike), with exception of tile with external door which does not count.

2. Every tile's value depends on material, smoothing and type (wall/floor) in various combinations as follows:

{| class="wikitable" border="1" cellspacing="0"
|-
! colspan="2" |  
! base
! smooth
|-
| rowspan="2" width="100px" | layer-forming stone
| floor
| align="center" | 1
| align="center" | x4
|-
| wall
| align="center" | 1
| align="center" | x5
|-
| rowspan="2" | non layer-forming common stone
| floor
| align="center" | 1
| align="center" | x7
|-
| wall
| align="center" | 1
| align="center" | x9
|-
| rowspan="2" | ores and gems
| floor
| align="center" | material multiplier
| align="center" | x7
|-
| wall
| align="center" | material multiplier
| align="center" | x9
|-
| rowspan="2" | constructed
| floor
| align="center" colspan="2" | material multiplier x 7
|-
| wall
| align="center" colspan="2" | material multiplier x 9
|}

Constructed walls and floor "replace" value of the tile they are placed on.

Sum of values added by every tile plus cost of room-formative furniture (main bed for bedroom) gives '''base room value'''.

3. '''Real room value''' is affected by openness. Think of it as of how many sides of the room are open vs. completely limited by walls. There are four levels.

* Fully closed. All walls are continuous. Only access is through stairs or ramp. Wall with a door does not count as limiting.
* 3 walls. Think of usual room which takes all avaliable space and is accessed through the door in one of the walls. Take away wall with a door -- it is still the same. Surprisingly rooms with two parallel walls but spreading wider along the walls than between them are counted as having three limiting walls.
* 2 walls. Think of bed in the corner which takes only part of avaliable space. Square room between two parallel walls is in this category too.
* Fully open. Room is not limited by any walls or is limited by only one wall.

Rooms with complex nonrectangle form may be confusing in this aspect and the exact rule for distinguishing one level from another was not investigated. Th main rule still holds though:

'''Real room value''' is '''base room value''' is multiplied by modifier according to its level of openness.

{| class="wikitable" border="1" cellspacing="0"
|-
! level
! modifier
|-
| Fully enclosed
| x1
|-
| 3 walls
| x0.875
|-
| 2 walls
| x0.75
|-
| Fully open
| x0.5
|}

4. '''Full room value''' is '''real room value''' plus cost of placed furniture and engravings. Other buildings add to value as well but exact details were not researched.

Furniture cost is added in full (with obvious exception of main bed cost which is affected by openness level).

Engravings are really only one-sided and counts only for the room they are facing. Also, engravings on walls add value to the room even if the wall tiles they are on are not part of the room. It's enough that floor tile facing the engraving is part of the room.

External doors do not add to value and tale the tile they are on from the room as well.

Internal doors add their cost + 30 and do not prevent the tile they are placed on from adding its value. The details on '+30' bonus were not researched though.

Contrary to beliefs statues and windows do not prevent floor tiles they are placed on or wall tiles they are placed at from contributing value to the room. The only thing special about them is that they work as walls and therefore may affect space available for the room. So if you put statue in the corner it will make very corner tile unavaliable for room. You can still place them along the wall with at least one tile between each, or anywhere in the middle of the room and they won't influence max room space.

This said I should note that everything works this way after resizing/remaking room after making changes. Making changes to already designed room without resizing may give different results and may be exploited in some ways.

It is unknown if other types of rooms are following these rules, as it is imopssible to tell exact room value for them.

There may be additional factors when building rooms in soil, flux or obsidian which were not researched.

Yeah. No flux again on my current map -_-

[[User:Elfy|Elfy]] 04:56, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

:Wow, great job on figuring out these numbers. Now i only hope that you can replace/update the stuff on the [[Room]] page. Also i noticed that nowhere on the page is mentioned were you can see the room value. I suppose the room value is equal to the rent, or how did you get these values? --[[User:Pugi|Pugi]] 13:35, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

== Names ==

MANY of the names in the thing are wrong. My epic dining room is described as "Legendary" and the beds that share the room get "Like a personal palace"--[[User:Shadow archmagi|Shadow archmagi]] 17:48, 28 February 2008 (EST)
:Are you going by the {{key|r}}oom list or by dwarf thoughts? The article refers to the actual room grade rather than how impressed dwarves are by the room. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 19:42, 28 February 2008 (EST)
:: Oh dear. My mistake. Letsee... you're right. Bedrooms are Grand and the dining room is Royal. My mistake. --[[User:Shadow archmagi|Shadow archmagi]] 20:03, 28 February 2008 (EST)

== doors ==
It seems doors don't count anymore in 38c? Every room i checked where the door should move it to the next quality level, it doesn't. This also is true for my artifact door which before turned a room into royal; it's gone now. --[[User:Koltom|Koltom]] 08:10, 17 March 2008 (EDT)
: What if the door is set as internal? -- [[User:Zardus|Zardus]] 20:14, 18 April 2008 (EDT)
:: Then it is counted, but such can make room overlapping difficult. Does anyone know why it was removed? I am saddened by my Artifact door not working right. --[[User:Stalinbulldog|Stalinbulldog]] 21:57, 11 June 2008 (EDT)
: Doors seem to add to the room's value if the room (as in the blinking teal X's when you q-select the room's defining furniture) extends over the door. However, by default, a room will stop at an external door without actually including that tile. So this means that the easiest way to include a door in a room's value is to set it to internal. However, if you define a room in such a way as to include the door's tile (such as defining the room before you order the door built), you can then set up the door and it will still count towards the room's value. Note that the room's value won't necessarily change by the exact value of the door, due to the newly-added tile affecting the value as well. [[User:LegacyCWAL|LegacyCWAL]] 13:55, 13 October 2008 (EDT)

:I think they're on both sides of the wall. At least, if i have two 5x3 rooms that share a wall, and I engrave all the walls for the two rooms, both rooms are of the same quality.

: I believe that red room names in the rooms panel mean that the room overlaps with another room and thus the value of both rooms is diminished. --[[User:Toloran|Toloran]] 20:52, 25 July 2008 (EDT)

Am i right that the {{k|r}}ooms screen is meant to let you jump straight to a specific dwarfs room when it is fully implemented?

::What I was getting at:
:::When my [[rock hauler]] gets elected [[Mayor]], how do I find his bedroom to free it, so I can allocate him a new one? Do I have to look at every bedroom using either {{k|q}} or {{k|t}}, or is there another way where I can "look up the dwarf" then see all the rooms allocated to him. I hope that is clearer.[[User:GarrieIrons|GarrieIrons]] 07:41, 1 August 2008 (EDT)
::::Workaround: you can allocate a new bedroom to your new mayor without bothering with his former bedroom, which will automatically be allocated to nobody. Your only problem now is that you have a crappy hauler bedroom somewhere, which is free. At some point that evasive free bedroom might be claimed by a homeless dwarf.--[[User:Aykavil|Aykavil]] 07:59, 1 August 2008 (EDT)
:::::This does not work. I just tried moving all my Metalsmiths to a new set of quarters, and they all ended up wit two bedrooms (vr 28_181_40d). Instead, I had to open the {{k|r}}room window, and locate the dwarf on the list, and use {{k|t}} to zoom to the listed entry in the main menu.
::::::I know it's a bit late for this, but: to be honest, I wouldn't bother. Your Mayor will probably get booted out of office sooner or later, at which point he'll need his hauler bedroom back, and for the effort of finding, deassigning, and reassigning that room you might as well just dig out one more than you need and have done with it. The redundancy doesn't really cost you anything. [[User:Aosher|Aosher]] 19:35, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

== Idea ==

Here's a hint.. In my current game I was having trouble getting my Count's rooms up to an acceptable level. I had a lever in his bedroom with artifact mechanisms that raised the bedroom to royal, but unfortunately I have no very good metalcrafters or masons to make good enough furniture for the other rooms. I did have a legendary weaponsmith though, so I made him construct some steel serrated discs and spiked balls. When masterful, these are worth 3600 each. Then I just constructed a weapon trap in the throne room and it became opulent right away. Too bad there's no way to place armor in a room in a similar way, a steel plate mail that requires the same amount of material is worth 15k even when just exceptional. -- [[User:D64|D64]] 07:58, 28 July 2008 (EDT)

== Z levels? ==

I've got a question pertaining to Z levels. Can rooms span multiple Z levels? Does it require a floor hatch? This question is prompted by a floor hatch having the internal/external option. If they can, then I'm in luck, since my communal bedroom (entirely smoothed and engraved) is over a massive smoothed and engraved stockpile.

[[User:Erathoniel|Erathoniel]] 18:30, 12 October 2008 (EDT)

: Nope, same Z-level only. [[User:LegacyCWAL|LegacyCWAL]] 13:57, 13 October 2008 (EDT)

I've added a note about this in the main article and taken away the old-version warning. But it's sparked an interesting question. If you have an area which spans several z-levels, and you define the lowest level as a room, will the dwarves 'look up' and admire any engravings or such one z-level above their room? --[[User:Khimaera UK|JK]] 21:54, 12 January 2009 (EST)

== Metal Floor over Engraving? ==

I built metal floors over engraved stone in my King's old quarters to increase the room value. I don't know if it worked or not, but later, when I moved him to larger quarters and pried up the floor, the rock underneath had turned into cavern floor. I re-smoothed and re-engraved it. [[User:Lloyd C Griscom|Lloyd C Griscom]] 18:44, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
:Right. If you build a constructed floor over any engraved or smooth or even muddy floor and then remove the constructed floor, the natural floor reverts to dry/rough.--[[User:Jpwrunyan|Jpwrunyan]] 12:40, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

== Room Quality and Nobles ==

It should be noted that assigning a normal (legendary) dwarf to a high quality room can make nobles '''very''' unhappy that somebody else got a room as good as (or better than) they did. For example, when I temporarily assigned a Royal bedroom (containing several dozen bags) to one of my siege operators, my King and Queen were "utterly traumatized by a lesser's pretentious sleeping arrangements lately" and my Duchess was "enraged". --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 03:24, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

== Selecting the quality of furniture ==

Is it possible to select the exact quality of furniture that i place in a room? I want to place a certain bed (+larch bed+ or somthing), but whenever i say "place a bed" here, they always put a crappy bed there. Help ''please''. --[[User:Frandude|Frandude]] 20:42, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
:Any and all methods of doing such a thing require forbidding all the other beds of the given material (excluding the one you want to place, of course). You can detail the beds via encrusting them, and if you take note of the quality of the details on the bed you want to place, you should be able to pick it out from the others (objects of the same type but with different quality details show up as seperate on lists) - but to do that, you'll probably have to forbid all the other beds anyway. COnsidering that as long as you don't have a furniture stockpile the beds are only going to be stacked in one or two places anyway, forbidding them shouldn't be too hard (especially if you use hotkeys). If you don't know how to forbid items inside a building, use "t" to access them. --[[User:3|3]] 21:43, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

:Press {{K|x}} to expand all and select the One piece of furniture you want. This info is located in the very same menu as the selection of the furniture item. --[[User:Maska|Maska]] 23:02, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
::Hmmm, now where's the best spot to put that little tidbit of information? I didn't think about it before, but some people might not get what it means by Expand when building beds, etc. Any ideas on where that could fit in? Room page? Furniture page? Or where? It just seems like a necessary thing to mention. [[User:Shardok|Shardok]] 23:52, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

:::I would say [[Building]], as it's all about the stuff you {{K|b}}uild. We could have a chapter about the actual process: selecting desired items(distance, quality), hauling, building, profit.

:::I find using stockpiles with specific quality levels to filter and forbidding/dumping whatever I do not want works the best, no need to check quality of each one when placing them down

==Plant Values==

Does tilled ground have a value? Also, do the plants growing on tilled ground add to the value of a room, or would they even be considered part of it- like how barrels in a stockpile do not influence room value, because they're part of the stockpile, not the room? Mostly, I'm trying to figure out some way to grow (Build? I hope not) flower gardens to increase room values. For example, making a statue GARDEN. --Kydo 05:42, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

== About IRC ==

The abbreviation IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat, a form of chat protocol. It is a text based communication method for multiple users at once. IRC networks are usually free to use by anyone and do not require any form of registration, only a nickname has to be set prior to connecting. The actual chatting takes place in channels which can usually be created or joined by any user.

The common way to connect to the networks is to use special IRC-Clients such as [http://www.mirc.com mIRC] (shareware, waiting time at startup) or [http://www.xchat.org XChat] (freeware), but also many multiprotocol messengers like [http://www.miranda-im.org Miranda IM] or [http://www.trillian.im Trillian] or web browsers such as [http://www.opera.com Opera] support the IRC protocol. Another quick way to join the networks are using Java-based clients that can be used from any internet browser. For more information on how to use these programs to connect to an IRC network a quick internet-search usually results in many helpful tutorials. For more general information on IRC visit [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat].

== How to use IRC ==

The currently most used IRC channels for Dwarf Fortress as of March 2010 are [irc://irc.newnet.net/bay12games #bay12games] on irc.newnet.net with around 90-110 users at any time ([http://irc2go.com/webchat/?net=NewNet&room=bay12games&nick=&name= webchat]), [irc://irc.quakenet.org/dwarffortress #dwarffortress] on irc.quakenet.org with 40-50 users ([http://irc2go.com/webchat/?net=QuakeNet&room=dwarffortress&nick=&name= webchat]) and [irc://irc.synirc.net #df] on irc.synirc.net with 40-50 users ([http://irc2go.com/webchat/?net=synIRC&room=df&nick=&name= webchat]).

Users with an @ in front of their name and staying at the top of the nick list are operators, they have to power to kick or ban misbehaving users. Any chat input that begins with a / is considere a special commands that is not sent to other users.

The most commonly used commands are:

/nick <newnick>

to change your current nickname to the specified new nickname, provided that it is not used by another user.

/join #channelname

to join a new channel on the current network. If there are no users on the specified channel it will be created.

/query <nickname>
OR
/msg <nickname> <message>

to open a private communication window with the specified user or directly send a message without opening the window.

== Some helpful hints about using IRC ==

* A double-click on a nickname will open the query window with the user on most client programs.
* Typing the beginning characters of a nickname and pressing Tab will autocomplete the nickname on most client programs. If there are multiple possible nicks cycle them with Tab.
* It is possible to connect to multiple networks at the same time. For mIRC the command to use is /server -m <server address>.
* Activating message timestamps in the options helps a lot for following the conversation.
* There are many good IRC tutorials available on the internet, just search for them.

User talk:Aescula

2010-03-03T22:10:03Z

Pugi: /* Arguments */

==Domestic Spinner==
All you need to have is the [COMMON_DOMESTIC] and the [PET] tags '''and''' for the animal in question to have a biome that is '''''accessible''''' to your parent civilization for it to show up in your embark screen. Did some playing around and made whales show up on the embark screen, only to have them slowly drown in the air when I got to my fortress :D.
--[[User:Flying Dwarves Hurt|Flying Dwarves Hurt]] 06:17, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
:Well, I've gotten progress. Currently, they are available as embark pets, can breed just like dogs, and so on, and their webs appear on worldgen, but they don't lay webs about... --[[User:Aescula|Aescula]] 08:21, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
::Have you seen them in the wilds at all? What tags have you assigned it? Might the laying web ability have to do with the [LARGE_PREDATOR] tag and the [THICKWEB]tag? --[[User:Flying Dwarves Hurt|Flying Dwarves Hurt]] 01:19, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
:::Just did some testing, I believe it is the [THICKWEB] tag along with the [WEBBER] that gives the ability to lay webs, I made a Giant land spider similar to the Giant Cave spider. I saw the webs everywhere, if you want I could upload a picture to show it.--[[User:Flying Dwarves Hurt|Flying Dwarves Hurt]] 01:49, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
::::They do have [THICKWEB], as I figured that they might have been crushing their own webs. I have not seen any in the wild, whatsoever. Only in trade goods (Not as trade pets yet, but there's an option for them in the ambassador dialog) and embark screens. I'll update their code on my userpage now. --[[User:Aescula|Aescula]] 03:50, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
:::::To have them show up around the world you need to specify a biome that they live in, you never see dogs in the wild or cows in the wild they both have no biome tokens. That I believe would allow you to see them in the wild and harvest the webs they leave on the ground. (For my Giant land spider I set [BIOME:ANY] and they were everywhere)--[[User:Flying Dwarves Hurt|Flying Dwarves Hurt]] 04:00, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
::::::That's when I had the spots of web appear, when they had a [GOOD] token. But that's not the focus at this point. I can add those in later. What I want to see is a gannek wander around my fortress, pause, and leave behind a web spot. So far this hasn't happened.--[[User:Aescula|Aescula]] 04:02, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
:::::::It must be the [POPULATION_NUMBER] token then! The thing that controls how many are allowed to move through your fortress map in one game year--[[User:Flying Dwarves Hurt|Flying Dwarves Hurt]] 04:07, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
::::::::FDH, you don't seem to get it. I currently have a working fortress with a population of ganneks. The trouble is, they don't spin webs.--[[User:Aescula|Aescula]] 04:09, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
Correction. Current version, they DO spin webs. As a breath attack. Anyone know how to get them to do it casually, or as an animal extract?--[[User:Aescula|Aescula]] 04:30, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

== RfA and Thank You ==

:Congratulations on a successful (and apparently controversial) RfA. You're welcome for the help on the RfA page, but I suspect that VengefulDonut is correct about the ability to reduce and resolve conflict being a useful trait for wiki adminship. Now, currently I very much play the role of an Arbiter, which is something I want to step down from as I firmly believe a wiki is most productive when the leadership is a community effort. Welcome to the adminship team, and let's get this wiki rolling! :) --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 09:43, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

== Arguments ==

The only reason arguments have a bad reputation is that a lot of people don't know how to argue, so they just scream instead. When all parties involved actually participate, an argument is a good way to settle an issue.
Also, I still think you aren't qualified to be an admin. You ended up as one because Breiss picked that makes selecting admins way too easy. Most of the people here are just too nice to do something someone else might dislike.
This situation hasn't made me dislike you. I don't think you're completely all there logically, but most people aren't anyway.
Despite that, I'm not going go out of my way to ruin it for you. Don't think you're safe, though. I'm not going to give you any special treatment, and I am a stickler (: [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 11:46, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
:PS: Perhaps it's not a good idea to have a lightly veiled threat on your userpage. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 11:46, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
::I don't think that you have to be beloved by everyone to be an admin. There are many people that don't like any admins, because they have greater power than that person itself. An admin has to do the same work no matter if he/she is liked or not. It is the same with cops, many people don't like them because they can give you a ticket for speeding or whatever. But when the cops are needed the haters still expect to get the best possible help. People with power will always have enemies. --[[User:Pugi|Pugi]] 22:10, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

40d:Frames per second

2010-03-02T17:12:05Z

Pugi: example for steps

'''Frames per second''' (frequently abbreviated to '''FPS''') is a measurement of how many '''steps''' per second the program runs at.

A '''step''' is not one step of a dwarf, but one screen advancement of the game, like animation, moving forward one minimum increment of game time. As an example, a dwarf with default [[Attribute|agility]] can move one square every 10 steps. So with 100 FPS you will see your default agility dwarves be able to walk 10 squares in one second.

To view your frame rate, open your [[init.txt]] file, scroll down to <nowiki>[FPS:NO], change it to [FPS:YES]</nowiki> and save the file. Note that this does not work on the DF Mac port.

For tips on maximizing framerate, see [[Maximizing framerate]].

'''Scamps''' is the [[pet]] [[cat]] who adopted the [[Toady One]]. Scamps is useful for preventing unhappy [[thoughts]].

Scamps is not a traditional megabeast. Scamps adopts his victim while he is a kitten. When Scamps hits adulthood, he will slash the victims throat and drink its blood, which will turn Scamps back into a kitten, similar to a Fountain of Youth.

Pugi: /* New engine */

==New engine==
Possibly might have been nice to put some comments here about the new engine. I hope I'm not just talking to ghosts.

For all it's technical issues - it is very easy to find out how to do things using mediawiki, because, there's that great big mediawiki people can go look at when they need to work something out.

Secondly, I am finding the look of the "new" wiki... hard do read. Possibly the default "skin" is a crock of shit? (Are you doing your work using the default skin? If not - isn't that a hint?)
Thirdly, I tried to sign up. Still no response?[[User:GarrieIrons|Gar]][[User Talk:GarrieIrons|rie]] 06:05, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
:I honestly did not expect the number of people playing around with the new wiki engine as there has been. So, you're not talking to ghosts, and this wiki will remain primary and editable for quite a while still (probably until sometime after the new release). I'm still working on enabling functionality in the WYSIWYG editor on the new wiki, which will hopefully make it easier to use. As a random aside, the new wiki is a bit harder to use for people who are used to mediawiki, but significantly easier to use for people who have never used a wiki before in their lives. If you don't like the new skin, feel free to modify it. I just played with it a little bit - the community modifiable css file is at http://new.df.magmawiki.com/*css . I deleted your user account just now, as I'm not sure what broke with it. I'll look into logs, feel free to recreate it :V. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 06:52, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
::The side margin is currently huge - much less space to work with, will stretch articles way down. (Nice graphic of the kitten butcher - puts the "b" back in "subtle".) Maybe we should set up a specific page where people can discuss this, if any are interested? --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 07:09, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
:::I shrunk the side margin quite a bit just now. Let's see how that works. Discussion is fine by me. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 07:23, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
::::Well, apparently there are a few other missing features that were advertised as implemented, namely including templates and redirects. Because of this, I'm going to go ahead and shut down the alt site here unless anyone raises any objections here in the next 24 hours or so. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 13:17, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
:::::By 'alt site' you're referring to the wagn, right? It seems like careful use of "forms" can reproduce a bit of the functionality of wiki templates, but it's going to be much more complicated and it's not going to be as powerful. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 13:53, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
:::::While i am still having a few problems with the new wiki engine i see much potential in it. I think many useful template-like cards can be made and it seems to be highly configurable. --[[User:Pugi|Pugi]] 14:14, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
::::::I am indeed referring to the wagn. I'll leave it up for experimentation then. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 15:30, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
:::::::Also note that at least [[User:Briess|Briess]] and [[User:Pugi|I]] are in the IRC in [irc://irc.newnet.net/bay12games #bay12games] on newnet.net and [irc://irc.quakenet.org/dwarffortress #dwarffortress] on quakenet.org most of the time for a more direct form of communication about various wiki discussions. --[[User:Pugi|Pugi]] 11:41, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

==Request for Adminship==
[[Dwarf Fortress Wiki:Request for Adminship]]
* I want to find additional admin(s) for this wiki. If you think you'd be a good admin, post here and get community consensus behind your adminship electionism stuff and whatnot. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 09:10, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
** What does it take to be a good Dwarf Fortress Wiki admin? What does an admin do? And which skills are required to do it? --[[User:Nahno|Nahno]] 17:39, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
***This. What is an admin's job here? --[[User:SenorPwnage|Señor Pwnage]] 03:49, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
****Basically, a wiki admin will help me track down and block spammers, clean up articles, and otherwise helps shape policy and encourage activity. An admin doesn't have the right to go out and be a douche, nor do they have the right to say "I'm an admin, thus my article edits are better" nor "I'm an admin, do as I say". Hopefully that makes some sense. --[[User:Briess|Briess]]
** As conceited as it sounds, I'd like to put myself in the running for this position. I've administrated a wiki before, and tend to check back in here a lot anyway, and can catch a lot of what goes on. --[[User:Aescula|Aescula]] 20:41, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
** I'll toss my hat in the ring. Haven't officially logged on in a while - been posting as [[User:75.62.155.145]]. I've got a mess of articles and rewrites to my name, and have been unofficially steering folk along DF Wiki philosophical lines, but I'll have to learn some of the "behind the scenes" wiki code.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 09:51, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
** Let's make an official way to do this, create a subpage of this requests for adminship page (IE, [[Dwarf Fortress Wiki:Request for Adminship/Albedo]] and fill out a template that I'm about to make --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 09:59, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
** 'All users are encouraged to vote on adminship requests'. How exactly does one vote for a particular user?

*The wiki has a new owner. <s>His first act was to add advertisements to profit off of our volunteer labor</s>. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 20:09, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
** THE ADVERTISEMENTS MUST FLOW! actually, I just moved them from the bottom to the side because the bottom stuff was breaking some of the layout code. [[User:Briess|Briess]] 20:36, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

*Another discussion regarding general style and philosophy of the wiki, at [[Dwarf Fortress Wiki talk:Community Portal#We_spoil._Do_we_spoil_too_much.3F_Do_we_detail_pointlessly.3F|Dwarf Fortress Wiki talk:Community Portal]], asking whether or not much of our detail is pointless. --[[User:Savok|Savok]] 02:21, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

*Screenshots! Take interesting screenshots of parts of your fortress. Upload them to the wiki. Put them [[template talk:sg|here]] and see them on the main page. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 12:19, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

*There is currently a discussion regarding the general style and philosophy of this wiki, of "what deserves its own page" on the [[Talk:Main Page]]. Any and all are welcome to chime in.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 05:34, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

40d:Strange mood

2010-02-28T15:38:14Z

Pugi: today said in DF Talk 7 that he wanted to make fell moods always successful, so they use any workshop

Periodically, individual dwarves are struck with an idea for a [[legendary artifact]] and enter a '''strange mood'''. Dwarves which enter a strange mood will stop whatever they are doing and pursue the construction of this artifact to the exclusion of all else. This will be based on a particular [[skill]] that creates a finished end product that can have a [[quality]], rather than intermediary material such as bars of metal or raw food. They will not stop to eat, drink, sleep, or even run away from dangerous creatures. If they do not manage to begin construction of the artifact within a handful of months, they will go [[Strange mood#Failure|insane]] and die soon afterward.

A dwarf will only be struck by a mood once in their lifetime. Upon completion of their artifact they will usually become [[legendary]] in that skill, and will then return to their normal life in the fortress with their newfound skill. A fortress can have at most one dwarf in a strange mood at any one time.

==Overview==
The entire process can be summarized as follows:
# Strange moods can only occur when the below necessary [[#Conditions|conditions]] are met. [[baby|Babies]] and activated [[Soldier]]s with military skills cannot enter moods, nor [[Noble#Immigrant_Nobles|immigrant nobles]], but any other dwarf can, including [[child]]ren.
# The game will pause, center on a dwarf, and announce that the dwarf has entered one of five different types of strange moods. The [[#Types|types of mood]] are listed below. While in a mood, a dwarf will display a blinking exclamation point (see [[status icons]]).
# For the duration of the mood, the dwarf will claim a workshop related to the skill that the mood affects (not all skills are eligible), kick out any dwarf who was using it, and render it otherwise unusable until the mood has been resolved. If a moody dwarf does not claim a workshop, it is because the appropriate workshop does not exist. (See [[#Skills and workshops|skills and workshops]] below to determine which workshop(s) might be required.) A moody dwarf will ''not'' be available to build a needed workshop; another dwarf with the appropriate [[labor]] designation must do so for them, if one is necessary.
# After claiming a workshop, the dwarf will set about collecting the required materials for their artifact. If the dwarf remains idle inside the workshop, it's because they cannot find the right material. Reference the [[#Demands|demands]] section to determine what may be required.
# Once all materials have been gathered, the game will once again pause and center, and the moody dwarf will begin construction. Upon completion the dwarf will create a semi-random artifact related to the skill affected and gain [[legendary]] (or higher) status in that skill (unless the mood type is [[#Possessed|possessed]]). See the [[#Skills and workshops|skills and workshops]] for information on which skills can be gained, or the [[#Artifacts created|artifacts created]] section for more details on the artifacts themselves.

== Types of moods ==
For each of the following types of moods, the first message is how the mood is [[Announcement|announced]]; the second message appears in the dwarf's profile when he or she is viewed with the {{K|v}} key. All moody dwarves will have "Strange Mood" listed as their active task.

=== Fey ===
* {{Gametext|<dwarf> is taken by a fey mood!|#fff}}
: ''Has the aspect of one fey!''

This is the most basic strange mood. Fey dwarves will clearly state their demands when the workshop they are in is examined.

A fey dwarf's happiness is automatically set to 'quite content'.

=== Secretive ===
* {{Gametext|<dwarf> withdraws from society...|#ccc}}
: ''Peculiarly secretive...''

Secretive moods are the same as fey moods, except a secretive dwarf will sketch pictures of their required materials instead of clearly stating their demands if they cannot find what they need. Descriptions of all these [[Mood#Demands|secretive requirements]] can be seen only by viewing the workshop that the moody dwarf has claimed, with {{k|q}}, and then only while the dwarf is waiting inside it. More than one "picture" is likely; these will cycle through the entire list automatically if any one is not available. (Since materials are gathered ''in order'', it's quite possible that only one of a long list is needed to allow the moody dwarf to continue on their project. If the dwarf has gathered some of the materials (seen as "tasked" when looking at the workshop with {{k|t}}), then the next in the list is what they are looking for.)

A secretive dwarf's happiness is automatically set to 'quite content'.

=== Possessed ===
* {{Gametext|<dwarf> has been possessed!|#f0f}}
: ''Possessed by unknown forces!''

Possessed dwarves have cryptic material requests, and have the unfortunate distinction of not receiving any experience upon successful construction of an artifact. It is unknown if controllable circumstances lead to a possessed mood instead of one of the more desirable fey or secretive moods. Possessed dwarves will mutter the name of the artifact they are working on once they have all the materials they need.

A possession is the only mood that does ''not'' result in a jump in [[experience]].

A possessed dwarf's happiness is automatically set to 'quite content'.

=== Fell ===
* {{Gametext|<dwarf> looses a roaring laughter, fell and terrible!|#a0a}}
: ''Has a horrible fell look!''

A dwarf that goes into a fell mood will always take over a [[butcher's shop]] or a [[tanner's shop]]. If neither are available, any other workshop will be used instead. The dwarf will then ''murder'' the nearest dwarf, drag the corpse into the shop and make some sort of object out of dwarf [[leather]] or [[bone]]. Once the artifact is completed, the fell dwarf will become a legendary [[bone carver]] or [[leatherworker]]. Strangely, none of the other dwarves seem to mind the murder. Only unhappy dwarves may enter a fell mood.

Aside from the potential loss of an important dwarf in the wrong place at the wrong time, there doesn't seem to be any downside to a fell mood. The end result is always an artifact and a legendary craftsdwarf. Since the only ingredient used (a dwarf) is available in abundance, a fell mood will only fail if the fell dwarf is completely isolated from other dwarves, or if the proper workshop does not exist.

=== Macabre ===
* {{Gametext|<dwarf> begins to stalk and brood...|#777}}
: ''Brooding darkly...''

Macabre moods are similar to fell moods, but the dwarf will not murder a fellow dwarf. A macabre dwarf may require bones, skulls, and chunks/remains; if you do not happen to have any, you will have to "make" some, or let the moody dwarf go insane. Like fell moods, only unhappy dwarves can enter macabre moods.

{{Spoiler}}

== Demands ==
Once a workshop is claimed, the dwarf will begin collecting materials. Each artifact will require between one and ten materials to complete. If the moody dwarf remains idle, then the necessary materials are not available. [[Forbidden]] items must be reclaimed ({{K|d}} - {{K|b}} - {{K|c}}) before they may be used, but moody dwarves will ignore settings regarding [[economic stone]]. Press {{K|q}} and highlight the workshop to receive a series of clues about what the dwarf needs. Hints that stay active for longer than 2 seconds mean that multiple pieces of that material will be required; each single demand will be displayed for 2 seconds, so if it says "gems... shining" for 6 seconds, 3 gems are demanded. Materials will always be fetched ''in order'', so if at least one item has already been retrieved (the items will show up with "TSK" ("task") next to them when the workshop is viewed with the {{K|t}} context menu), it will usually be possible to tell what item is required next.

You can use this to your advantage to get your dwarf to pick specific types of items, even if the moody dwarf has already started storing materials in their workshop: if a fey weaponsmith starts piling up copper bars, forbid those bars and he'll go pick another bar instead. If you forbid all metals except say steel (the stocks screen makes this fairly convenient), then he'll skip all those other metals and make his artifact weapon out of strong, valuable steel instead of whatever random inferior metal he might have picked otherwise. Don't forbid any of his materials after your dwarf has begun building his artifact - he won't go back to collecting materials once started and will end up going insane.

Note though that if a dwarf has a demand for a specific item, such as a [[bar|bar of metal]], raw [[gem]], or [[shell]], then that item type will be ''required''. For this reason, it is usually a good idea to keep an example of each item type on hand, particularly cut and raw gems, shells, bones, leather, raw (green) glass, both silk and plant cloth.

In somewhat rarer cases, a dwarf with a personality preference for a specific material, such as steel or silver [[bars]], will demand exactly that specific sub-type of material. For this reason, it is a good idea to keep as many types of material on hand as possible, including the three different kinds of glass. Forbidding materials won't let you get around this either: if they want a specific material subtype and you forbid it in favor of something else, they'll just sulk in their workshop until you unforbid the material or they are able to find it some other way - or they go [[insane]]. Asking a liaison for likely materials ''in advance'' is a good plan - "next year" is far too long for a moody dwarf to last. Check your dwarves' [[preference]]s if you care.

Once you have struck [[Adamantine]], all moods which use cloth or metal as a primary component will insist on using Adamantine cloth or wafers over all other materials; moody dwarves which happen to want metal for decorations will still choose bars based on distance or preference. Moods involving stone crafting or masonry will not prefer [[raw Adamantine]] over other stones.

====Known quirk====
On maps with magma, dwarfs* who intend to create an artifact at a [[forge]] or [[glass furnace]] may only be willing to use a standard (non-magma) version, or only a magma version, and will find the other completely unacceptable. If they are just standing around, then they won't use the type you have, and you will have to build the other type for them (though no [[fuel]] will be required if using a standard, non-magma version).
:''(* This would include most all [[armorsmith]]s, [[blacksmith]]s, [[metalsmith]]s, [[weaponsmith]]s, and [[glassmaker]]s, and any whose mood is dictated by the relevant skills.)''

== The mechanics of moods ==

=== Frequency===
When a fortress is started, an internal counter is set to 1000. Around 11 or 12 times per day, this counter is decremented by 1, running down to zero in about 3 months. When the counter would ordinarily be decremented when it has already reached zero, there is a 1 in 500 chance that a strange mood will strike. This means that, once all conditions are met and the clock is ticking, while there is approximately a 2.4% chance of a strange mood per day, or ''very approximately'' a 50% chance of a strange mood per month, there is no guarantee when a mood will strike - might be sooner, might be (almost) never.

=== Conditions ===
In order for a dwarf to be struck with a strange mood, three conditions must be met:
:* There is no currently active strange mood,
:* The maximum number of artifacts is not met,
:* There are at least 20 eligible dwarves ''(see below)''.

If all three of these conditions are true, the game may trigger a strange mood according to the frequency.

==== Maximum number of artifacts ====
The maximum number of artifacts in any one fortress is limited by the lower of:
* The number of items created divided by 200. It is unknown whether mined-out rock counts as an "item created", or whether bolts and units of drink are counted individually.
* The number of revealed [[subterranean]] tiles divided by 2308 (this is an area equivalent to a 48x48 square). Using [[Exploratory mining|exploratory methods]] is a great way to increase your artifact limit.
[http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=46803.0 Anecdotal evidence] indicates that obsidian farming will affect at least one of these limits.

==== Eligibility ====
The deciding factor for eligibility is a dwarf's actual [[profession]]. ''(Note that "[[Skill#Custom profession labels|custom professions]]" have no effect on this!)'' Thus, dwarves may enter strange moods regardless of what skills they have or don't have, so long as they are of an acceptable profession. Dwarves who have already created an artifact are not eligible to create another, and since every mood ends in either an artifact or death, every dwarf may enter at most one mood. Dwarves who have obtained one or more legendary skills without creating artifacts may enter strange moods.

Appointed [[nobles]] may enter moods as per their default profession, but [[Noble#Immigrant Nobles|immigrant nobles]] are '''not''' eligible for moods. That includes:
:Advisor, Baron/ess, Baron/ess Consort, Count/ess, Countess Consort, Duke/Duchess, Duke/Duchess Consort, Dungeon Master, Hammerer, King/Queen, King/Queen Consort, Philosopher, and Tax Collector.

Further, dwarfs with a [[Soldier#Soldier professions|military profession]] other than "Recruit" can '''not''' enter moods. Incidental military skills make no difference - eligibility (and weighting) depends purely on the actual ''[[profession]]'', as listed at the time. Military professions include:
:Axedwarf, Axe Lord, Champion, Crossbowdwarf, Elite Crossbowdwarf, Hammerdwarf, Hammer Lord, Macedwarf, Mace Lord, Marksdwarf, Elite Marksdwarf, Speardwarf, Spearmaster, Swordsdwarf, Swordmaster, Wrestler, and Elite Wrestler.

Babies may '''not''' enter moods.

Any other profession is eligible to enter a mood, but not all have the same ''chance'' to enter a mood...

:''('''Note''' - Specifically, and to avoid previous misunderstandings, [[Strand extractor]], [[Clerk]], [[Administrator]], [[Trader]], [[Architect]], [[Alchemist]], [[Soldier#Recruits|Recruit]] and [[Child]] '''are''' moodable professions.)''

=== Chance ===
When determining who will have a strange mood, each eligible dwarf is put into a weighted lottery. The odds are assigned a higher or lower weight based on the dwarf's [[profession]]. The default weight is 6, but some professions are more likely to enter a strange mood than others. (This is like most dwarfs getting 6 tickets to the lottery, and others getting more.)

{| class="wikitable" cellspacing="0" border="2" cellpadding="5"
|-
! Weighting
! Professions

|-
| 21 ||Armorer, Blacksmith, Bone Carver, Clothier, Craftsdwarf, Jeweler, Gem Cutter, Gem Setter, Glassmaker, Leatherworker, Metalcrafter, Metalsmith, Stonecrafter, Weaponsmith, Weaver, Woodcrafter
|-
| 11 ||Bowyer, Carpenter, Stoneworker, Mason, Woodworker
|-
| 6 ||Engraver, Mechanic, Miner, Tanner

|}

:'''''Example:''' What this means is: if you had 21 dwarves, made up of 20 eligible farmers, furnace operators, woodcutters & etc (with 6 chances each), plus one Armorer (with 21 chances), that one Armorer would have a 21 in 141 chance (20 dwarves x 6 chances each = 120, + 21 chances more = 141 total) of the mood striking them. That's about 1 in 7, while the other 20 have a 6 in 141 chance each, or about 1 in 24. The odds are still against the armorer, but much better than for any other single dwarf.''

Note that not every profession is from a moodable skill. An Alchemist, Architect, Furnace Operator or Strand Extractor can be taken by a mood, but that will not make those skills legendary, nor will they create an artifact bar of soap, building, bar of metal or wafer of adamantine.

:NOTE: ''If your game was saved shortly before one of you dwarves acquired a mood, reloading that game will most likely cause the chances to be completely re-figured, resulting in a different mood at a different time for a different dwarf with different materials. This is true for most all random events and results in Dwarf Fortress.''

A dwarf will claim a workshop according to their highest applicable skill, and upon completion of the artifact, gain 20,000 [[experience]] in that skill (excepting [[Mood#Possessed|possessed]] dwarves). This will give the dwarf a legendary-level [[skill]] (specifically, "legendary+1" or higher, depending on the dwarf's initial skill level) and a number of [[attribute]] gains. The table to the right describes all applicable skills and their potential workshop requirements - there are only 20 skills that determine the workshop and that can be affected by a mood (sometimes referred to as '''moodable''' skills.) If a dwarf does not possess at least one of the mooodable skills listed to the right, they will take over a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]] and gain one of [[bonecarver]], [[stone crafter]], or [[wood crafter]] skills, producing an artifact [[craft]].

If a dwarf has the same experience points in two skills (as opposed to same experience title), the first listed for that dwarf will be the one affected by the mood (the exact experience can only be made visible with 3rd party [[utilities]]).

When multiple workshops are listed, the dwarf may require one or the other, so ensure that ''both'' are available, if possible. If you have one, and the dwarf is not interested, then build the other, right away. (i.e. If you have only [[magma forge]]s, you may have to build a standard [[forge]] for the moody dwarf).

Below is a list of all ''non''-moodable skills; if all of a dwarfs skills are found on this list and none from the table to the right, then they have no moodable skills and will construct their artifact at a [[Craftsdwarf's workshop]], producing an appropriate craft as described above:

{|
|- style="vertical-align:top;"
| style="padding-right:30px;" |
* [[Ambusher]]
* [[Animal caretaker]]
* [[Animal dissector]]
* [[Animal trainer]]
* [[Appraiser]]
* [[Building designer|Architect]]
* [[Brewer]]
* [[Butcher]]
* [[Cheese maker]]
* [[Cook]]
* [[Dyer]]
* [[Fish cleaner]]
* [[Fish dissector]]
* [[Fisherdwarf]]
* [[Furnace operator]]
* [[Grower]]
* [[Herbalist]]
|
* [[Lye maker]]
* [[Milker]]
* [[Miller]]
* [[Potash maker]]
* [[Pump operator]]
* [[Record keeper]]
* [[Siege engineer]]
* [[Siege operator]]
* [[Soaper]]
* [[Strand extractor]]
* [[Thresher]]
* [[Trapper]]
* [[Wood cutter]]
* [[Wood burner]]
* All [[military]] skills
* All [[social skill]]s
|}

This fact can be utilized to maximize the possibility of getting a dwarf with the specific legendary skill you want: since ''non''-moodable skills are ignored, when ever possible make sure that each dwarf's highest ''moodable'' skill is one of those you want*. Have all your peasants, [[farmer]]s, non-professional military and other dwarves without any moodable skills do a tiny bit of work in the skill(s) you most want; if a "[[dabbling]]" skill is the highest moodable skill they have, that is the skill that will be used.

:''(* [[Armorsmith]], [[Weaponsmith]], [[Metal crafter|Metal Crafter]] and [[Metalsmith]] are possibly the most-desired legendary skills, but much depends on your fortress, your current mix of skills, and your play style.)''

:''(Note that [[Tanner]] is a moodable skill, the only [[Farmer]] category skill that is moodable.)''

== Artifacts created ==
The type of artifact created will depend on the dwarf's highest skill. Masons will always create some kind of stone object, usually furniture; bone Carvers, a bone or shell object; carpenters, a wood object, etc. Miners and engravers will usually turn out a stone craft or piece of furniture; metalworkers, metal crafts, weapons, or armor (depending on the type of metalworker); weavers, an article of clothing; tanners, a leather armor or object. If a dwarf has no moodable skills, they will take over a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]] and create a bone, stone or wood craft of some type. The precise type of craft created is usually somewhat random but if a dwarf has a personality preference for a particular thing, such as gauntlets or floodgates or crowns, and that thing is an available choice given the dwarf's profession, they will generally create an object of that type.

The first object grabbed by the dwarf will be the "primary" substance; all other materials will be used to decorate the artifact. If a dwarf grabs a piece of [[chalk]] and makes a statue, for instance, it will be a "chalk statue", but an artifact can potentially be composed of bone, cloth, gems, leather, metal, shell, stone, and wood all at once. In some cases, a moody dwarf will produce an item which normally cannot be made from that material, leading to such odd constructions as an [[obsidian]] [[bed]], [[ruby]] [[floodgate]], or turtle [[shell]] [[cage]].

Once created, most [[artifact]]s will be available for use just like a normal item of its type. Artifact furniture is useful for high value [[noble]] rooms. [[Weapon]]s and [[armor]] will only be used by heroes and champions. Artifact weapons in [[Trap#Weapon Trap|weapon traps]] can also boost a room's value considerably, as in the case of artifact trap components.

== Failure ==
If you can't provide the desired workshop and all the required component materials within a couple of months, the dwarf will go [[insane]], which cancels the mood and the artifact. As if that's not bad enough, any dwarf who goes insane will soon die, one way or another.

A dwarf who is [[melancholy]] or [[stark raving mad]] is harmless to others (until they die and start a [[tantrum]] spiral), but a [[berserk]] dwarf will attack other dwarfs and possibly pull levers at random. You may want to station a squad nearby or assign a few war dogs to the dwarf on the chance that they will lash out. If you build your workshops inside enclosed rooms with doors you can also lock the moody dwarf in the room until he or she starves. In extreme cases, building a wall around an open workshop is the best precaution.

Most events that would ordinarily interrupt a dwarf will not deter a moody dwarf - for example, while passing out from pain will cancel most tasks, a moody dwarf will continue working as soon as he wakes up. Giving birth while in a strange mood does not interrupt the dwarf either; the new mother will ignore the baby until her mood is resolved and it will happily wander off in the meantime.

Severe distractions such as hostile creatures, however, can interrupt a strange mood, resulting in immediate insanity; similar results will happen if the workshop suddenly becomes unavailable, whether from being destroyed (by a cave-in or a dwarf throwing a tantrum) or from losing power (in the case of magma workshops). Note that the insanity can happen even when the dwarf is not deadlocked on an item; there have been observed instances where a dwarf goes insane while in the process of carrying a required item back to the commandeered workshop.

Dwarf Fortress Wiki:Current events

2010-02-28T14:14:23Z

Pugi: /* New engine */

==New engine==
Possibly might have been nice to put some comments here about the new engine. I hope I'm not just talking to ghosts.

For all it's technical issues - it is very easy to find out how to do things using mediawiki, because, there's that great big mediawiki people can go look at when they need to work something out.

Secondly, I am finding the look of the "new" wiki... hard do read. Possibly the default "skin" is a crock of shit? (Are you doing your work using the default skin? If not - isn't that a hint?)
Thirdly, I tried to sign up. Still no response?[[User:GarrieIrons|Gar]][[User Talk:GarrieIrons|rie]] 06:05, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
:I honestly did not expect the number of people playing around with the new wiki engine as there has been. So, you're not talking to ghosts, and this wiki will remain primary and editable for quite a while still (probably until sometime after the new release). I'm still working on enabling functionality in the WYSIWYG editor on the new wiki, which will hopefully make it easier to use. As a random aside, the new wiki is a bit harder to use for people who are used to mediawiki, but significantly easier to use for people who have never used a wiki before in their lives. If you don't like the new skin, feel free to modify it. I just played with it a little bit - the community modifiable css file is at http://new.df.magmawiki.com/*css . I deleted your user account just now, as I'm not sure what broke with it. I'll look into logs, feel free to recreate it :V. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 06:52, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
::The side margin is currently huge - much less space to work with, will stretch articles way down. (Nice graphic of the kitten butcher - puts the "b" back in "subtle".) Maybe we should set up a specific page where people can discuss this, if any are interested? --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 07:09, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
:::I shrunk the side margin quite a bit just now. Let's see how that works. Discussion is fine by me. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 07:23, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
::::Well, apparently there are a few other missing features that were advertised as implemented, namely including templates and redirects. Because of this, I'm going to go ahead and shut down the alt site here unless anyone raises any objections here in the next 24 hours or so. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 13:17, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
:::By 'alt site' you're referring to the wagn, right? It seems like careful use of "forms" can reproduce a bit of the functionality of wiki templates, but it's going to be much more complicated and it's not going to be as powerful. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 13:53, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
::While i am still having a few problems with the new wiki engine i see much potential in it. I think many useful template-like cards can be made and it seems to be highly configurable. --[[User:Pugi|Pugi]] 14:14, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

==Request for Adminship==
[[Dwarf Fortress Wiki:Request for Adminship]]
* I want to find additional admin(s) for this wiki. If you think you'd be a good admin, post here and get community consensus behind your adminship electionism stuff and whatnot. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 09:10, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
** What does it take to be a good Dwarf Fortress Wiki admin? What does an admin do? And which skills are required to do it? --[[User:Nahno|Nahno]] 17:39, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
***This. What is an admin's job here? --[[User:SenorPwnage|Señor Pwnage]] 03:49, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
****Basically, a wiki admin will help me track down and block spammers, clean up articles, and otherwise helps shape policy and encourage activity. An admin doesn't have the right to go out and be a douche, nor do they have the right to say "I'm an admin, thus my article edits are better" nor "I'm an admin, do as I say". Hopefully that makes some sense. --[[User:Briess|Briess]]
** As conceited as it sounds, I'd like to put myself in the running for this position. I've administrated a wiki before, and tend to check back in here a lot anyway, and can catch a lot of what goes on. --[[User:Aescula|Aescula]] 20:41, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
** I'll toss my hat in the ring. Haven't officially logged on in a while - been posting as [[User:75.62.155.145]]. I've got a mess of articles and rewrites to my name, and have been unofficially steering folk along DF Wiki philosophical lines, but I'll have to learn some of the "behind the scenes" wiki code.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 09:51, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

40d:Challenges

2010-02-27T09:35:05Z

Pugi: forgot the other two <.<

:''Part of this article was originally taken from the DF forums thread [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=466.0 "Goal-Based Dwarf Fortress"].''

The general goal of [[Fortress Mode]] is to survive, acquire wealth, defend your stronghold, and become the capital of your civilization. However, many players find that fighting off repeated [[siege|sieges]], keeping their people alive, and expanding just aren't enough anymore. They begin to experiment with different sets of starting builds, arbitrary requirements and restrictions, and even feats of construction to appease Armok, in search of more difficulty and [[fun]]. These are some goals to attempt or use as inspiration.

==Pre-Embark Build Ideas==
Before you embark, you can optimize or sabotage your fortress from the very start, depending on how you distribute your points. After a few years, a well-developing fortress may or may not stabilize (depending on your idea of [[fun]]), leaving you to other challenges.

=== Diplomacy ===
* Six dwarves with only social [[skill]]s
* One skilled dwarf

Six courtiers of the king's court made some ill-advised remarks within earshot of the king, and as a result have been ordered to go found an outpost. They've hired you to make sure they survive. The six nobles only have social skills and refuse to do any work that is beneath them.

=== Minimalist/Survivalist build===

* 1 anvil
* 2 copper ore

Nothing else. From that alone, forge your pick and axe. (Figure it out yourself, or see the [[DIY#Minimalist_challenge_build|Do it Yourself]] article for a step-by-step "how to".)

===Peasantry===
* Spend 0 Points on embark

This challenge is moderately to very difficult, depending on the wildlife and outdoor food sources. Note that the three logs from the wagon are just enough to build a trade depot.

=== Stranded Scout Squad ===
* Military skills
* Weapons, ammunition, armor, war dogs
* Picks are not weapons

Your civilian 'friends' promised a caravan in the fall as they left, laughing. Hopefully, you can survive until then with your forward scouts.

==Races==
Pretend to be another race! You can mod the game or just pretend that Elves have hair. It doesn't matter what you look like, just what you build, with what materials, and what's for lunch after we build it.

===Elves - The Ultimate Hippy Challenge===
Peace, man.
* Don't gather plants except those you plant yourself.
* Don't gather wood nor trade for it with humans or dwarves.
* Trade for plants and wood only with the elves; they understand your environmental code.
* Don't burn any [[fuel|coal]]. Do you know what that does to the environment, man?
**Magma-smelting is an option, but steel can't be had.
* Don't cause any creature's death, except in self-defense.
**No military, induced submerging, or lethal implementation of corkscrews.
* Only use cage traps, and either tame the creatures you catch, or release them back into the wild.
* [[Elf|Hippies]] prefer sunlight and wooded areas, with minimal use of rock (digging and building).

For an extra challenge try this in an area with a cave.

===Humans - Living Large and Standing Tall===
Pretend you're a filthy above-ground dwelling [[Human|humie]].
* Build a town wall.
** Only hovels and farms outside the town walls.
* House your dwarves in small town homes
** 5-10 dwarves per house (they had pretty big families back in the day)
** Upstairs bedrooms, small dining room, maybe a single level basement.
* House your workshops according to profession, not convenience.
* Build warehouses for stockpiles, and set guards outside them.
* Create a keep, with its own wall, barracks, treasury, etc.
** House your nobles within the keep.
* Create a market square.
* Create a main street from the town wall to the market square and/or keep. Well-paved blocks, statues and decorative shubbery are a must.
* No underground connections between different areas.
* For obtaining stone, metal, etc. a mine may be built, but must have separate entrance from other buildings. It can be outside the fortress, but must not connect to the interior, or vice versa.
** If you create a side hill mine, only carve large (at least 2 tiles) tunnels, and create shaft to the surface to allow air circulation.
** Or better than that, create an open pit mine / quarry, with ramps to access lower floors.
* BONUS: Miniproject: Build a large, multiple-z-level fountain complete with decorations.
* BONUS: Miniproject: Human Inn, containing your only booze stockpile and should be party-oriented.
* BONUS: Miniproject: Farm simulation, complete with crops and free-range livestock, etc.
* BONUS: Easy Play: Embark on top of a Human Town.
* BONUS: Advanced Play: Modify the raws and actually use humans to make the fort.
* MEGABONUS: Build your entire fortress as [[mega constructions|one huge arcology]].
* MEGABONUS: Build your City in a giant, artificial cave.

===Luddite===
Shun technology and contraptions. Who can really trust them, with those [[Gremlin|gremlins]] around. This may be challenging, as it forbids easy isolation/defense from attacks, all traps and wells. Irrigation is reduced to solid elbow grease and maybe a bucket or two. This challenge may be even harder combined with another challenge.
* No mechanics or [[mechanism]]s
* No [[machine]]s

===Earthworms===
Live constantly tunneling. Churn up the soil as you go and visit the surface only rarely to collect the stuff you need..
* Create one long tunnel. Dig forward at one end whilst sealing off (collapsing, building walls across) the other end.
* Workshops should be built directly behind the row of miners. When they reach the point where they would be destroyed, take them apart and rebuild back by the miners again.
* To make it easier, you can come up to the surface now and then.
* Try to keep the tunnel as short as possible.
* Like this: ||||||||==========> (| is walled off end section, = is tunnel and > is the miners.
* BONUS: Leave those pesky nobles walled in as you tunnel away from them!
* BONUS: Leave stockpiles of armour and weapons for any future diggers to find!
* MEGABONUS: Surprise a goblin siege by tunneling up underneath them!

==Utter Dwarfiness==
Need new ways to behave or new techniques to dip your toes into? Give any or all of your starting 7 some quirks to live up to. Want to try making your Boss a hell-bent, paranoid despot? Or establish a routine mass murder of small animals to provide your fort with raw meat by a vaguely intimidating, estranged butcher?

===Bandit Camp===
* Three or more Marksdwarves (perhaps with [[Ambush|ambushing]])
* Embark site featuring places to hide

Attack and loot every enemy sentient creature you can find, such as goblins & kobolds. Develop sneaky and even horrific methods of trapping and 'processing' friendly sentients (merchants, diplomats, and even migrants). Take no prisoners and leave no evidence of foul play.

===City-States===
* All dwarves embark as peasants
* 7 or multiple of 7 of everything you bring (especially picks and axes)

At the start your dwarves split everything equally and move to 7 different locales that are not interconnected. They have to mine their own rooms, plant their own crops, use their own craft piles. This will probably require a bit of cross-fertilization until you get [[door]]s and can lock everyone in, but after that it is every dwarf for him/herself!

This challenge may be easier to perform after Burrows are implemented.

===Equaland===
* No embark requirements
* Construct a successful fortress
* All dwarves are given equal attention regarding quarters, dining, armament and burial
* One dwarf elected to be "The Leader" commands a lever system capable of killing a single dwarf of your choice in their room, however you wish
* Allow the Leader (your id) free reign on his power, enforcing impossible and unannounced criteria on your other dwarves with death being the only punishment

===Hermit===
* Spend points ONLY on ONE [[Pick]]

A well known and popular challenge. Kill off 6 starting dwarves and any [[immigrants]] as they arrive, and try to make a living for the last dwarf. Turn away merchants. If they don't leave, kill them.

'''Variants'''
To moderate difficulty, feel free to allow these exceptions:
* Keep one male and one female dwarf as the Dwarven Adam and Eve.
* Keep your starting seven, but no immigrants.
* Selectively admit dwarves based on name, profession, etc.
* Embark with an anvil as well.

===Hunting Party===
* One Marksman+Ambusher
* One Cook+Farmer
* One Brewer+Farmer
* Four exclusively social dwarves
* Embark with no anvil, many hunting dogs, into a challenging biome (terrifying areas may have no supply of wood)

===Immigration and customs enforcement===
* One miner/mason/architect
* One woodcutter/carpenter/architect
* Five military dwarves
* Embark into a canyon or on a road
* Don't embark with an anvil

Spend the first year building fortifications to interdict traffic. Immigrants can build a town around you, but your original seven dwarves remain dedicated to their mission (purely military in purpose).

==="Let Loose the Dogs of War"===
* No military Dwarves are permitted, including Fortress Guard.
* No weapons or armor may be forged, and any obtained from looting must be melted down.
* War dogs must be your only form of attack and defense.
** Bonus : No traps or defense mechanisms of any kind may be utilized, only dogs.

===28 Days Later===

*Embark at a terrifying biome(Scary Biome), make sure there are zombie somethings. Set up a five thick wall around your camp. Never leave the perimeters. All migrants would be wandering survivors, let them in or don't, as they might be infected.
*Bonus: If you have "reason" to believe the migrants are infected, sacrifice them to the Blood God. Remember he loves Magma.
*Bonus: Only Marksdwarves for defence, You shouldn't get near the zombies, as they bite.If they are wounded, they must be quarantined, and shall therefore die.
*AdvancedPlay: Add zombie to the creatures list and set them as [EVIL].
Bonus: Send one heroic guy to save the migrants from the zombies, like in 28 days later.
Remember Elves can not be trusted and should be treated as infectees, and should be Dwarven atom smashed(Magma and Chasms work equally well).(Note this is also true for normal Dwarf Fortress).
*Elf skin clothing anyone?
*Keep a diary from one of the characters perspectives, to be read when the world is repopulated.

===Master Of One===
Pre-Embark:
* All starting dwarves must have only one skill

Post-Embark:
* No changes are allowed on any dwarf's labor screen, except to ''disable'' hauling labors (enabling hauling is forbidden)
* All immigrants must stay with the profession(s) they arrive with
* All peasants must be activated into the military

'''Variant:'''
*Only allow one dwarf for each skill to remain in your fort (1 mason, 1 miner, 1 farmer, etc.). Slaughter or draft all other dwarves.

===Monarch with a grudge===
* Forbid any and all use of stone and metal
* No exposed tile may be labeled "Underground"
* Artifacts containing stone and metal are to be destroyed '''utterly''' (magma or the [[Dwarven_Atom_Smasher|DAS]])

"Nay, no ponderous stone doors or shining silver arcades, not while I live!"
The new king has decided rocks and metals can no longer be used in construction. He'll be overthrown shortly, but in the meantime construct your fortress without them.

'''Variants'''
* Embark with no construction materials, into an area devoid of trees.
* Construct a fortress made entirely out of glass. Try not using magma or limit yourself only to clear and crystal glass.
* Build with soap bars. Show those elven traders just how much you despise their philosophies by building with stuff derived from dead trees ''and'' dead animals. Cats are an excellent source of tallow.
* Choose one type of rock, one type of metal, one type of gem, one type of wood, and optionally one type of glass. All constructions can only use those types in their construction. An easy way to enforce this with stone is to mark all but your choice "Economical".
* Bonus points: Stone is forbidden along with digging

===Noblesse requiro===
* Construct a fortress only to please nobles (who, for the sake of this challenge, are all criminally psychotic)
* Criminals who deserve justice should be incarcerated, tortured, and executed for ''any'' offense. Use your imagination for every step of the process. Remember, there is no right to a fair and speedy trial in Armok's eyes.
* All Nobles must be treated to the highest quality living conditions
* All others must be treated to the bare minimum needed to physically keep them alive
* Elected nobles are to be treated as regular dwarves, but mandates hold equal sway regarding justice

===Sitting on trees===
* Construct a wooden "tree" or several, spanning many (a dozen or so) z-levels
* Establish a successful fortress not inside, but around, these constructed trees

===Stop, Hey, What's that Sound===
* (Optionally) Generate a world with abundant cave systems
* Establish a fort near a very large cave
* Imitate the role of "Angband", leading small parties inside on military excursions
* No more than 3 dwarves can enter at a time
* Siege equipment and other weapons (or dangerous contraptions) that a dwarf can't carry on him is forbidden when cave-exploring

'''Variants'''
* Only solo adventurers are allowed to enter the dungeon
* Only use 'Thieves' to steal loot and create traps inside the dungeon

===The Mad Butcher===
* One dedicated Butcher+Tanner
* Minimal supplies and skills, so you can bring...
* As many puppies and kittens you can afford
* All food-gathering skills (except your Butcher+Tanner and Brewing) are forbidden

Caging your animals will increase performance to prepare a suitable butchery. Construct a wide, deep shaft to be zoned as an animal pit. At the bottom, outfit an isolation chamber complete with food and alcohol stockpiles, a bed, a butchery and a tanner's workshop. An active well will prevent mishaps. You should include during the construction either an airlock chamber (to enable the butcher to pass on food) or a second pit where the butcher dumps his created food. After construction, seal your butcher+tanner inside and live only off of his work.

===The World is Flat===
* No pre-embark requirements
* You'll probably want a region with lots of hills/mountains.
* You may only work/build/live on the original Z level where your wagon was
* No moats allowed, as this requires a channel, which goes below your z-level

==="I guess it's up to us to repopulate the planet..."===
* Embark on a loner site - this means one where traders, siegers, migrants, etc. simply don't show up, ever.
* Kill five of your starting seven, leaving one male and one female.
* You will get no population influx in any way (ever!) aside from breeding. Uncertain if inbreeding is possible for more generations of dwarves - unlikely. Hope the McUrists are prepared for a big family...

===Hunter and Gatherer===
Pre-Embark (World-Gen)
* Try creating a world in year 1 (optional)
Post-Embark
* Everything allowed except Farming.
Bonus
* Embark in a desert, so only hunting and (aquifier) fishing.
** Extra Points: Dont fish in the aquifier. How could the turtles get there anyway?
** Create a huge pyramid and sacrifice living beings or valuables to Armok for rain by dropping it in the hollow inaccessible pyramid from the top.
*** Extended version: Fill the pyramid with magma!
** Create lines like the Nazca to honour Armok, so he will send some rain (maybe).

==Arbitrary Law==
Rule your fortress with a Soapen Fist! Or see how far you get until a (voluntary) significant flaw sends you into an inevitable sadness spiral. Whatever it is, be sure to stick by it or you'll be meeting the Hammerer.

===ASPCA===
* [[Animals]] are forbidden from the fortress
* Animals following immigrants cannot enter the fortress
* Lethal traps forbidden, caged non-sentients must be immediately released
* Butchery is forbidden, but leatherworking is allowed

Rather than forbidding immigrant pets from entering, you can choose to deal with the owner of that pet instead for a more sadistic challenge.

===Commune===
* After embarking, enable all labors on all dwarves (including immigrants)
* Beds can only be designated as barracks, and no dwarf can be assigned to a bed (even nobles)
* Coins are forbidden
* Be aware that nobles are to be considered part of the "bourgeoisie" and [[Unfortunate accident|dealt with]] immeadiatly

===Couples only===
* As soon as a married couple exists in your fortress:
** Kill all single dwarves
** Kill all incoming single dwarves
** Try to save children, until they are adult and single

===Dieting Dwarves===
* Exclusively dine on a food type of your choice (meat, fish, plants, alcohol)
* Optionally, forbid alcohol consumption to limit carbohydrate intake
**Note: forbidding alcohol permanently is as good as accepting a slow but continuous fortress death

===Dwarf Liberation Movement===
* Nobles are worthless scum, we give them nothing!
* As soon as possible, cage your expedition leader.
* Never appoint any dwarf into becoming a noble.
* Cage any dwarf that appears on the nobles and administrators screen.
* When your population elects a new mayor, release your old one and cage the new one.
** Bonus : Cage the king and all of his escorts!
** Extra Bonus : Once you have caged all nobles, administrators, the king and his advisor; you must unleash the Dwarf Atom-Smasher upon them.

===Fight for your name===
* Before embarking, randomly generate a fortress name and be sure to know its English translation
* Do the same with your group name
* Creatively designate a serious goal for your fortress, based on these names
* Fanatically reach your goal

===Fort Geneva===
* Lethal traps are forbidden
* Caged sentient creatures are to be considered prisoners of war and treated humanely

Suggested provisions for prisoners: a bed, a personal cell, a commons area, aboveground exercise yard, and the clothes the creature was wearing when captured. For more inspiration, go to: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva_Conventions Geneva Conventions]

===Government in Exile===
* Only Military and Social skills can be purchased and enabled in your entire fortress

All dwarves are either nobles or in the military. The only useful dwarves you'll have will be your broker, manager, mayor, bookkeeper, and dungeon master. If you can survive until the sheriff arrives, transfer your entire military into the fortress guard. With a little luck, and a lot of exported roasts, you too can rule without proletarian interference.

===Hardcore Altruism===
* Do not allow the death of any Dwarf

Though not viscerally entertaining, an incredible challenge. All strange moods must be given what they crave. All medical attention must be done ASAP. Mining, fishing and hunting must be done with much care. Sadness must be met with excellent social skills and quality furniture.

===Industrial Plant===
* Choose one industry that produces commercial goods
* No other industries permitted, only imported

===Johannesfort===
* Find a starting location with a lot of gabbro, containing Kimberlite
* Mine and cut all the diamonds on the map
* Only gems can be traded.

===Sexist Segregation===
* Establish two functioning and stable fortress
* One must be entirely male, the other entirely female
* Married couples are to be processed

===THIS! IS! SPARTAAAA!===
* At least half of your fortress population must be active in the military.
* Crossbows and traps are forbidden.
* Only spears, swords, wrestling, helmets (helms) and shields may be equipped by military and used to fight.
** BONUS: All weapons and armour must be made from bronze.
* Civilian dwarves have all labors enabled.
** If ever activated, cannot use quality weapons or armor.
* Maimed dwarves (perceived to be) incapable of being fully healed must be killed. (This includes incurable spinal injuries in military dwarves!)
* Devise methods of dropping Liaisons down pits during meetings. Yell, "THIS IS SPAARRTAAAAA..." at your monitor.
* Demand goods be turned over from all caravans.
* Recreation is forbidden, as well as any 'improving' action, such as smoothing/engraving, or constructing things out of metals what can be done with rock and wood (besides spears, swords and shields).

Note that the above suggestions are modeled on the popular movie [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/300_(film) 300], an adaption of the visual novel [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/300_(comics) 300], both of which historically inaccurate. For a more "realistic dwarven Sparta", try reading the Wikipedia article on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparta#Society Spartan society].

===Mesoamerican Dwarfs===
* All food must be grown above ground, on small plots, surrounded by canals (chinampas)
** BONUS: Flood the farms annually.
* All buildings must be above ground.
* Capture as many of your enemies as possible.
* Build a massive step pyramid at the center of your fortress. Appoint one dwarf high priest and have him kill the prisoners at the top.
* Surround your fortress with an artificial lake.
** BONUS: Build it in the middle of a natural lake.
* Use only copper or bronze metal (except for iron anvils).
* Soldiers can only use obsidian short swords. Axes are only for wood cutting.
* No armor except leather and only let champions use it. All others must fight unarmored.
** BONUS: Divide your soldiers into "Jaguar[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar_warrior]" and "Eagle[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_warrior]" warrior societies and outfit them with leather armor made from their respective animals.
* Demand that all non-dwarf caravans surrender their goods as tribute.
* Build a giant, multistory building for holding skulls.

==Megaprojects==
Instead of deliberately inhibiting yourself, create a wonder of the dwarven world that would make the Mountainhomes proud. Be sure to upload it to the [http://mkv25.net/dfma/ Dwarf Fortress Map Archive] when it's finished. More projects can be found where [[Stupid_dwarf_trick|stupid dwarves try crazy tricks]]. [[Mega construction|Incredible feats of construction]] are usually very [[Fun|fun]] so you'll see many different (and probably similar) constructions across the Wiki. Use whatever ideas you think are ingenious.

===Aqueducts===
For some reason, a noble was harmlessly pulling a lever when suddenly, magma flooded the river and exploded the booze! The king requires your band of seven to build a great aqueduct to bring water to the capital. Start with supports, and build up your aqueduct until it is 10 z-levels high!

BONUS: Start over a human town, build a wall around it, pump water through the aqueduct and into it!

===Biodome===
All material, seeds, food, tools, and dwarves must be in the fortress within one year. Then, seal up the entrance. Any new immigrants... well, they might be in trouble. Survive for as long as possible!

No chasms/underground rivers/magma vents allowed.

===Casting===
Who needs to construct giant statues?! We need ours made from natural walls, however, we want it above ground level as well. For casting your goal is to create some giant structure out of natural obsidian walls through the use of an extremely elaborate scaffold of lava and water pools and screw pumps. When you are finished, just deconstruct the scaffolding and smooth/engrave the statue as you go. Just imagine the bridge over that chasm, now complete with two giant dwarf statues on either side to strike fear into all who enter and to show them the power of your fortress.

BONUS: Make the statues spit lava.

===Castle===
Build a castle, greater than anything built by human, elf or dwarf. This is highly time
consuming if you want it to be a good castle. There must be floor indoors, and no underground
constructions except for mining operations and cellars. For an even greater challenge, build
a gigantic tower in the middle, where the nobles stay.

===Ceremonial Sacrifices===
Build an amazingly complex or spectacular killing device. A shaft that extends across the entire Z-plane is a good start. A constantly shifting maze of atomsmasher drawbridges is another. For the minimalist, a very confined space where you will drop a dwarf wrestler along with the gobbos once in a while. Perhaps a waterslide that carries your prisoner all the way down into a chasm? Whatever your idea, build it and dedicate your fort to the construction, maintenance and improvement of your device.

Do not kill any of your invaders. Capture them using cage traps, and them set them off in your device. Keep a record of the number of victims you drop into it.

BONUS: Create a statue garden to memorialize your victims, with one statue per victim. Structure your fortress such that sacrificial victims have to pass through the garden on the way to their demise.

===Computing===
Can your dwarves build the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism Antikythera mechanism]? Can you program the fortress to play tic-tac-toe? More details at [[computing]].

===Colosseum===
Build a pit, around it on steps lots of Thrones, make the whole thing a meeting area, train Gladiators, capture goblins, leave them their weapons and let them fight against your gladiators. If they win, let them go.

===Crematory Fortress===
* Requires a [[magma pipe]] and [[bauxite]].

Build a temple structure above a [[magma pipe]] and [[engrave]] every available surface. The temple should be as opulent as possible. In the temple, build a retracting [[bridge]] over a hole in the floor, and designate a [[coffin]] [[stockpile]] on it. Whenever a dwarf dies, build a [[bauxite]] or other [[magma-proof]] [[coffin]] for him, place it on the [[bridge]], and retract it, committing his body to the [[magma|fiery blood of the mountain]].

::Note: Since coffins are unassigned and emptied when deconstructed and cannot be constructed on top of a bridge, this will not actually work. An alternative would be to place the coffins in individual chambers which can then be flooded with magma afterwards.

::: You could expose the magma pipe, build a one-tile wide floor span across it, and then above that build a support that holds up your temple floor on the z-level above. The temple floor would be separated from the walls of the temple and would be connected for walking access diagonally. The support holds it up. You would have to construct the coffins in the temple, then when someone gets buried you pull the lever attached to the support. You then rebuild the narrow span below, the temple floor, and the support, then link the lever to the new support.
::: You can do this without scaffolding if you build the temple floor access straight in, and then the span below and the support, then once the support is in place you destroy the straight temple access leaving only a diagonal temple access.

===Doomsday Clock===
Build a water or mechanical clock whose final state triggers the support which holds your fortress up or a megabeast out.
See how much wealth you can achieve before the clock runs out.
*Bonus: Create something that resets itself, as well as purging the map, so that you can reuse the same fortress over and over.
*Super-Bonus: Create something that involves pressure plates and a small kitten, when the pressure plates are hit in the right order, your map ends. Toss the kitten in and hope for the best. Alternatively, make the sequence quite unlikely, but add 2 kittens; breeding introduces a probability of doomsday that is a function of time (depending on the mechanisms involved)
*Super-Bonus: Create the super-bonus above, but place the kitten on the lowest Z-level and never return to either look at it or see how many of the conditions for the doomsday device have been met. This way, the kitty mimicks Schrodinger's cat: we cannot observe the state of the kitty, but we can infer it from the state of the world (spin-pairs effectively).

===Dwarf like an Egyptian===
*Build a pyramid of epic proportion.

Build a legendary dwarven pyramid, with a corridor running to a central tomb for your favourite noble. Then construct lots of different [[traps]] in it to avoid grave robbery. Perhaps build it entirely out of glass? Or try to make the top twist in a bit of a swirl. Alternatively, make your entire fortress inside a pyramid, which stretches below the ground.

*Build rows of Obelisks

Build a double row of Obelisks before the Pyramid, and engrave the sides. Build ramps on the tops.

*Build the whole thing upside down.
** And then another one on the upside-down one.

*When the time has come, or when your fortress is about to be destroyed by a siege etc perform the ceremony to translate the mortal form of the noble to the underworld. Give him a ritual death, and make sure you kill his servants as well. If the tomb is built for your king make every dwarf die but one, who inters everyone into their resting place. His final act will be to pull a level that seals the tomb as well as kills him. Then enjoy going back and reclaiming your fortress to observe your efforts.

===Graveyard Master===
Every dwarf deserves a decent resting place:
*Build a tomb for ever dwarf that dies, the more dwarves you manage to bury the better.
*Tombs must be rooms with exactly 5x5 of size and 1 of height, with only one entrance tile that must be closed by a door.
*Tombs must have all its surfaces engraved.
*Tomb must contain at least 4 statues.
*Once complete, the door must be locked and the tomb must not be ever entered again.

===How high can you go?===
Construction, construction, construction! Just how big a tower can you build? Out of glass maybe, clear glass? Steel? Pump water to the top? Make your tower a ''pinnacle'' of achievement and stun humans, elves and goblins alike - for they know nothing of construction and engineering like dwarves do!

===Land battleship===
Turn your mountain into a huge battle-station, complete with crew quarters, decks, command centre, cantina, and a large collection of deadly weapons : Batteries of marksdwarves, ballista cannons, catapults, boarding bridges and -teams, but also lava projector or remote explosive devices (ie cave-ins in a part of the map triggered by a lever). Make sure it ends up looking like a real battleship, with nothing but plains surrounding it (you could build it on an actual plain, or destroy a mountain, choice is yours). The battleship has to be autonomous, and dwarves shouldn't wander outside it.

*Bonus: The weaponry covers every tile of the map (i.e., everything that enters the map can be shot)
*Bonus: Build several other ships, maybe dedicated to a specific product (food, ammo etc.)
**Bonus: Find a way to let them fight each other in a naval battle
*Bonus: Each crew member has a civil and military formation, and when the enemy arrives, stop every economic activity. All hands to quarters !
*Mega Bonus: After building your Ship(s), flood the surrounding countryside.

===Moria===
Build a huge hall - at least 3 z-levels high. Leave few pillars symmetrically placed in the hall (don't build them, carve them out). Smooth and possibly engrave everything (not only the lowest z-level!). Then build thin bridge (not the bridge building, just a thin piece of rock to walk on) above magma - support it with bauxite supports connected to a lever (bauxite mechanisms needed in support). Destroy stone holding it at the both ends and replace it with floor hatches (so when you pull the lever it all goes down). After that build a bridge above the chasm.
When it's all done seal your dwarves deep inside in safe place and get invaded by goblins. At the same time dig out HFS. Lead the HFS across the both bridges and then collapse the second one when one of the champions clashes with it (it doesn't matter that the champion has killed the HFS with one hit).

===Mountain audit/core sample===
Start in a mountainous area and strip mine everything down, down, down to ground level. Stockpile everything, and calculate the mountain's composition. For kicks, try not excavating one tile on each z-level. You'll be left with one enormous core sample.

===Project Mayhem===

*You do not talk about project Mayhem
*Build a series of towers, at least 10 z-levels high, of different size and shape. They must be supported by a series of supports linked to a lever.
*Store all your riches in the towers : crafts, precious metal bars, gems, artifacts, everything. You may also want to house your nobles on top of the towers.
*Pull the lever and watch the collapse of financial history.

Bonus : make the towers' walls out of glass!

Bonus : Make soap! And remember, human fat is ideal...

===Santa Claus===
Get ten thousand toys built and offered to caravans yearly. Optionally, build ten thousand toys, fetch them in adventure mode and deliver them to every single city of the world.

===Skull collector===
What proves the might of a civilization better than a hall full of skulls?
*Try to collect as many skulls as you can during your fortress life, and put then in a special skulls-only storage. The more skulls the better.

BONUS: Cover all the skulls in blood, and make the stockpile also a throne room.
SUPERBONUS: Also fill the throne room with kittens.

===Space Ship===
Create a giant space ship fit for space travel. It should be able to hold about 100 dwarves for at least 2 years.

*BONUS: Use exploding [[booze]] as ignitable fuel.
*BONUS: Make a removable [[ramp]] for boarding.
*BONUS: Make the [[water]] for the 2 years be on the ship using removable pumps.
*BONUS+: Make it totally self sufficient. (Make an internal system which pumps the [[water]] supply through a room every few years to muddy the floor. Plant [[seed|seeds]] in the [[mud]] that's now on the floor. Manage your consumption to maintain self sufficiency.)
*Modding BONUS: Mod the game so that merchants can fly their new wagonships into your docking bays. ''(If possible)''
*BONUS+: Make it all out of [[steel]].
*[[fun|FUN]]: Let it be held by a single [[support]], ignite the [[booze]], remove the support an let it "fly".
*EVEN BETTER: Drop it down a chasm.
*More [[fun|FUN]]: Set up a mining operation on the surface and dig into the HFS. Watch the alien creatures take over your ship and hunt down your dwarves. Form a squad of heroes to overload the booze reactor to prevent the aliens from reaching earth. (See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Space_%28video_game%29 Dead Space] and/or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_%28film%29 the Alien series])

===Swiss Precision===
Build a working clock. The clock should accurately track DF days, months, and years.

Bonus Points:
*If the clock has a mechanical effect in the fortress proper to announce new days
*If the clock creates seasonally appropriate effects at the change of months and/or seasons.
*If the clock is used to aid in the operation of the fortress in addition to its role as a clock (automatically controls farmland irrigation at particular times, automatically opens the <s>blast doors</s> <s>floodgates</s> Magma Channels in time for merchants, etc...).
*If the clock governs the schedule of a working rail station (which is always on time). (Definitions of 'working' and 'rail station' are subject to player imagination).
*If the clock takes measures to protect itself. ''"I can't let you do that, Urist."''

But don't worry about the bonus points, a precision time device should be hard enough.

===Temple===
Designing a temple to Armok. Aesthetics count - the god will be very angry if there are no stained-glass windows and domed ceilings carved with frescoes. To gain more favor, make regular sacrifices and keep the fountains and rivers red with [[blood]].

===The cube===
Play a fort as usual, but emphasize catching goblins in cages to support and fill this construction:
Construct a series of rooms in a symmetrical fashion, all connected to each other with appropriate doors. Of course, enough rooms to make a maze-like structure, and if you feel like it, an exit that is hard to reach. Fill a bunch of the rooms with traps and pressureplates. Then fill one room with 4-6 goblins (preferably in cages, opened by an outside lever), release them and watch them randomly walk around the rooms dying to traps and whatnots.

*Bonus: Do multiple story maze (3d-maze)
*Bonus: Use pressureplates to open/close the exit randomly; otherwise, all the goblins will just follow the shortest route to the exit.

===The great brewery===
Disaster has struck the kingdom. A strangely glowing [[Fire|‼]]<nowiki></nowiki>peasant[[Fire|‼]] visited the greatest brewery of the empire, and as a result the whole thing exploded. No time for weeping — create its successor, a fort dedicated to alcohol production, and get the alcohol supplies flowing! Try to make the widest variety possible, and give or trade it to the dwarven [[caravan]] each year.

===The Great Wall of Urist===
Build a dwarven great wall of china that splits the map in half. Must be at least 10 tiles thick and reach the highest z-level.
* BONUS: Make it block the <s>mongols</s> goblins out of your half of the map.
* BONUS: Make it out of obsidian.
**BONUS+: Embark on a map without obsidian.
* BONUS: Find a way to make it touch the boundaries.
* BONUS: Build one gate
* BONUS: Arm it with ballistas.

===The Monolith===
As the inevitability of a fortress-wide mental breakdown looms over every single fortress why not have something that alludes to that precipice of [[insanity]]. Like the book and feature film, 2001: A Space Odyssey you must have a Monolith. This has to be made from [[obsidian]] and have a completely smooth surface (You cannot build it from blocks) You can have it be any size as long as it is outside, at least 2 tiles thick to ensure there are no pillar tiles, and has about the same ratio of width to height as it does in the movie (1:4:9) to make it as close to the real thing as possible. It would be preferable to make it large so that it seems to be dominating the landscape and your dwarves' psyche. The bigger the better.

*If the rock obsidian strata isn't deep enough in parts to make a monolith feasible consider casting a monolith with a large rectangular block in the exact same dimensional criteria as above.

===Statue of greatness===
Build a giant statue, spanning 10-20 z-levels and make it in the shape of say, a dwarf you like or an animal you like.
* Bonus: make it in the shape of a teapot that has a working boiling system and a spout that water can come out of.

===Underwater fortress===
Encase your entire fortress in [[water]]! Your fortress should be watersealed: surrounded by water against all [[wall]]s and the top of the fortress.
* Bonus: Build all water-touching walls/roof in clear glass!
* Bonus: Use [[magma]] instead of water!
* Bonus: Build it in the [[ocean]] or a non-freezing lake
* Bonus: Build large glass domes that encase the fortress. A dome 20 tiles wide should be 20 z-levels tall. Which may be hard to cover in water.
** NOTE: Actually, a dome 20 tiles wide should be 10 tiles tall, or less, since the steepest dome will be only semi-spherical, and most domes will start out at an angle anyway.
* Bonus: Have a mechanism for dropping your enemies into the water to drown! Or fill the water with carp.
* Mod: Make your dwarves amphibious and include airlocks between the wet fortress and the dry.
* Remake: Make Rapture city from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioshock Bioshock]

===Wealth===
The kingdom's coffers need lining, so hop to! Found a fort and start accumulating wealth as fast as possible. Attain as high a fortress value as possible, and make most of your wealth into coins for the vault. Try to beat your record for one year, two years, or five years.

===World Domination===
Pretend you are an evil mastermind. Now come up with some device or machine to render the world (or at least your portion of the map) totally unlivable, aside from, of course, your hidden lair.

You will receive bonus points for making a more realistic World Domination setup. Some suggestions:

* Make one dwarf the evil mastermind. The evil mastermind will have no empathy whatsoever, and they will hate all other races, and put no value on the lives of his minions. Protect him at all cost. If he should die, switch his position to his oldest child (who will avenge his father, because insanity is hereditary.) or the most insane, diabolical dwarf in your fort.
* Impractical, overkill solutions to everyday problems ("Sir, the dungeon master wants a better room" "Well then turn his room into a tomb and flood it with magma, and do not bother me with such trivial matters again or I will have you shot.")
* Give the evil mastermind a pet to obsess over. Give it a name like Mr. Bigglesworth or Snuggles.
* Have a science lab. Use living creatures and people as test subjects.

Doomsday device suggestions:
* Flood the map with water/magma (may require building walls around the edge of the map)
**BONUS: the water has carp in it.
* Build an "Earthquake Machine" (the entire map is supported by a single support, which is connected to a lever)
* Build an extensive holding cell network for "scientific purposes". Fill it with megabeasts and <s>elephants</s> unicorns in secret. Have a lever that lets everything free to feed on the general population.
* Embark in an evil area, and capture and tame all those undead animals if possible to create your own undead army
* Bonus: Eliminate the dwarves who constructed your device before you set it off. They must not be allowed to warn the rest of the citizens.
* Build an orbital weapons platform in space (which should be 12-15 stories above the ground, use your imagination), then arm it with magma bombs (droppable tank of magma) to glass the planet, rendering it uninhabitable for a few years.
* You can also recreate the most evil society in history and try a Nazi-dwarf concentration camp.


[[Category:Guides]]

=== The Grand Treasury ===
At first, have the king come to you. Then excavate a laaarge room and fill it with i.e.: Lots of coins, shiny gems, artifacts, golden statues, silver mugs, etc. pp. But the king is still not satisfied with his possessions, so he wants more and more shiny and sparky things.
Of course sooner or later (probably sooner) those filthy kobolds and goblins will come and try to steal this enormous hoard. We must never tolerate this! Turn your treasury into a strongroom like the world has never seen before! Secret doors, traps in abundance, guards at every door, ballistae, guard dogs, the whole program. If anything gets lost, you have proven your incompetence, and the king will have your fortress abandoned and founded another to guard his treasures.

*Bonus: Build up the treasury and raid it successfully in Adventure Mode

=== Heaven ===
Build a dwarven version of heaven. Every dwarf must want to come to you! Important pieces:
# Streets paved with gold.
# The mindless hordes are held back by pearly gates -- or at least a close equivalent. Marble doors with diamond encrustations.
# No dwarves die (except for criminals). Heaven is everlasting.
# All criminals must be cast into the fires of Hell. Ideally, this would either be HFS or the bottom of a magma pipe.
# Nothing is ever stolen. St. Peter doesn't screw up.
# After the King has arrived, any male children he has must be sent out to fight sieges alone.

BONUS: No dwarves are ever unhappy -- no tantrums and no insanity. 
BONUS: When migrants arrive at the pearly gates, view their thoughts and preferences and only allow those with a similar/same Diety as your population. 
BONUS: Make Heaven 10 stories above the ground 
Mod: Make Angel dwarves and a godly being. (suggestions: Cacame, Morul, Ironblood.) 
ULTRABONUS: Make Heaven in the air, an earthly society on the ground (a wooden town perhaps?), and carve the HFS place into Hell, complete with a lake of Magma/fire.Look up the character of every dwarf and send him to the appropriate place. 
MEGABONUS-(Re)Make: The Seven Seals have been broken and the Apocalypse arrives.
# The Sky darkens (an obsidian ceiling spanning over the map).
# Meteors (opened lava tanks and cave-ins) devastate the earth.
# All bodies of water turn bloody.
# Dig into the HFS and have a battle between Heaven and Hell. 

=== City of Ember ===
Show those filthy humans that when dwarves build a secret underground refuge, they build to last! In other words, recreate Ember from the film "City of Ember" (yes, everyone is aware there is a book), but do it right - none of these leaking pipes and crumbling buildings stuff, after only two and a half centuries underground!
# Mine out a massive cavern multiple z-layers high , and build a human-style city underneath it instead of carving out various chambers.
# You must seal it off. How long you wait to do this is up to you, but once it is sealed, you cannot unseal it for at least 200 years (if you decide to play that long). Ideally, use a utility to embark with a full set of dwarves (to represent the immigrating population) and seal the city off within one year of embarking.
# Build individual houses with their own dining rooms and bedrooms. Multiple dwarves can live in one house, but usually only a single family will live in one house.
# Build streets connecting all of the buildings, in the way that in the film, Ember didn't really have any space that wasn't either paved or built on until you got to the outskirts of the city.
# Have a "greenhouse" out on the outskirts for farming.
# You MUST have an underground river and use it for power.
# You MUST have magma and use it for power.
# Build City Hall, where the mayor has his office, with a nice fountain out front that actually works (probably involving water pressure, and as a testament to the fact that dwarves do it better, and their underground refuge isn't running desperately short of food, water, or power).
# No military, because there is simply no need for one, but have a fortress guard (to function as police, basically).
# After 200 or more years, unseal the city and colonize the surface.

BONUS: Instead of building your houses/other structures out of blocks or rocks, plan it all out beforehand and simply don't dig out the tiles that you want to be the walls of buildings, and smooth it all down so it looks the same, but your buildings are actually made out of solid natural rock. 
BONUS: Actually cause some kind of catastrophe on the surface (flood it with magma or something) that makes it uninhabitable, to FORCE yourself to stay underground, but when you unseal the city after 200 years, the surface should have healed and be habitable again. So, don't do something permanent.

Pugi: /* Support */

==Administrator Candidacy Questionnaire==
===Why would I be a good Administrator?===
I just added my name to the list for '''Asst. Admin''' for this site. As a site User, I've tried to support the Admin as best I can, editing with comments, posting links to the Guidelines on over-enthusiastic newbie's pages, stuff like that. I'm active on site most days/week. And if you could see the look on my face, you'd know I'm not over-eager for this, which is a good thing. It's always dangerous to hire people who volunteer, but I have the time and energy, so... why not?

If you care about "What has Albedo done?", here are some things I'd not blush about if someone were to mention them:

* Instituted a use for [[current events]] page, where you just read about my application.

* Complete edit of more articles than I can remember - not "rewrite" (altho' that too), but just re-organizing and formatting what was there and tying it together.

* Re-organized all the randomly titled design pages into formal "X design" article format.

* Added the [[Welcome]] template to more newcomers than I can remember.

* Added more redirects and disambigs than I care to remember (including [[welcome]], among others).

* Just added all this info to my User page moments before Briess instituted this form. :P

Meh - In short, I'm active enough and have a decent sense of writing and organization, both for a single article and for a collection of them.

Vote me. Yay. --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 10:25, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

====Supporting Evidence====
[[Special:Contributions/Albedo]]
& more recently: [[Special:Contributions/75.62.155.145]]

:Link to any articles you are particularly proud of.

* Conceived of [[vein|veins and clusters]] page, combining many random pages into that one article. My first solo article.
* Re-organized and partially re-wrote the various and scattered "defense" pages ([[Defense guide]], [[Defense design]], [[Military design]], [[Trap design]], and related others) into their current format. See [[Talk:Fortress_defense#Merging_in_other_articles_and_defining_what_this_page_should_be|Talk: Fortress Defense]]for an idea of what it was before. This was a [[demon|bitch]], as it was a complete [[Losing|cluster]] before. Established editing policies in an attempt to never go there again. (Open any of those pages to edit and read <-Notes to editors->), and/or see relevant [[Talk:Defense design|discussion pages]]).

* Consulting on the Talk pages, conceived and/or wrote or re-wrote the current [[armor]], [[armor piece]], [[weapon]], [[dwarven weapon]] and [[other weapon]] page collection, thus ''removing every single redundant article on every individual weapon and piece of armor in existence.'' Sheesh, as if.

* Edited, formatted and organized the [[Color schemes]] page so the colors and differences could actually be seen at a glance, and the process understood (even by a newb!).

* Saw the need, created this tag and implemented its use:
{{Mod}}

==Public Q&A==
*'''Q''': What sort of things would you like to do with the admin tools that you currently are unable to do. [[User:Mason11987|Mason11987]] 11:58, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

*'''A''': A lot depends on what my tasked duties and rights are as co-Admin and what the "party line" is on improvements - the question is moot if my leash is a short one (and I'd expect it to be at first, at least). But, answering blind, I'd like to see the "build-a-diagram" process easier to use - if some internal coding could make that easier, that would be sweet. Maybe a page of standard tables, and a step-by-step tutorial "how to" for mid-level editing techniques like sortable tables & etc. I'd like to see some sort of easier tracking for IP-only posters - right now they're faceless to users, even when they're editing regularly (altho', again, that may depend on Admin policy). Maybe as part of that, I'd like "contributions" to be a link on ''other'' User pages, so navigation to that information is easier than it currently is. I'd also like to (try to) get more people involved in expressing opinions on the editorial direction and policies of this wiki - not to make it a pure democracy, but some sort of welcoming and well-advertised public forum where voices can be heard. But mostly I'd learn the tools themselves to see what is possible, both possible to improve and create anew - it's hard to know what I'd do with something I'm admittedly not very familiar with. But I didn't know jack about editing a wiki a year ago, not a single double-bracket or triple-apostrophe, nada, and I caught on pretty quickly as a User, so I have faith in myself.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 02:01, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Oh - I'll toss this out too - if I learned html and how to program Cisco router IOS (which I did), I can learn Wiki code. In case anyone had concerns in that direction.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 10:40, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
*'''Q''':In the next few months, the next version of DF will be released. This will make a lot of information here obsolete. How do you see yourself as an admin dealing with this? --[[User:Kwieland|Kwieland]] 15:53, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
*'''A''': Um, a month of heavy drinking in Mexico until the smoke clears? Actually, I've been thinking about this (every time I edit a page, recently! How long will that edit be relevant?) There will be three periods in the rewrite - the first will be a mass of new pages ''(some have already been posted as placeholders, empty atm)'' and "it appears" and "needs more research" type articles, which might last at least a couple weeks, maybe months. I'd look into instituting a new "category" template, like the current "[[delete]]" or "[[mod]]" templates, that tags all the old pages as "previous info" - and thus a central page would be created where these can be scanned by users and updated as they have the information and desire, and the template removed. This is hella busywork, but it might be the only way to avoid the problem I ran up against when I found DF shortly after the last version update - no one really knew what did what anymore, and old assumptions were reinforced by pages that looked good but were badly out of date (or just bad guesswork). But beyond keeping an eye out for future stub articles and redundant titles, this will mostly be User-based (altho' I probably would join in "as a User", as I do now.) The second phase, overlapped with that but extending for months, will be a flood of brand new hard information, observations and theories, complete rewrites and new articles or even entire new groups of articles - Burrows, the new Medical system, the new Squad system, the new... well, almost everything! Again, as moderator, I don't see my job to micromanage or "plan" that, but let it form organically along the same lines we have now - possibly trying to guide similar information to be combined and over-expanding articles to be split, and a readable formatting style overall, but only when things are really ugly. Possibly call attention to areas that are crying out for help once the initial rush is over. The last stage will be where we are currently - details, tweaks, better wording, and that's largely hands off. Overall, I foresee the biggest problem (besides legacy information being overlooked and contaminating the new) to be lack of research and verification of facts. We see it now - an over-enthusiastic user "wants to help", and so makes an assumption based on one observation, and it's just not got it right. Constant reminders to use the Discussion pages are in the future, I just know it. (Possibly a reworking of some of the [[Dwarf_Fortress_Wiki:Community_Portal|alphabet Rules]]?... that's a bigger and longer discussion, and not my decision to make. But there are some unwritten policies that could be formalized for the better, imo, and this might not be a bad time to make those changes.) And, of course, all this in cooperation with whatever Admin policies the new crew establishes amongst themselves. However, ''realistically'' and simply put - it will be my job to do whatever Briess ''tells'' me to do! --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 16:54, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
::'''Comment''': I want to try to get away from instituting arbitrary Briessisms and start letting this become even more of a public resource. One of the reasons for this whole RfA stuff is that I don't want to have my unique world view be imposed on the wiki over everyone else. Of course, I am also a dirty hypocrite or some such. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 20:41, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
:::Yeah, well, it'll be a balance between us all, I'm sure.
:::I was going to add that depending on how radically the new version changes everything, it might- just ''might'' - be worthwhile to start a new wiki, the same way that this one replaced an older one a while ago. If more pages are just wrong than right (or if a large number of them are), then copying/pasting the few that are good would be easier, and result in a better end product, than hoping to keep track of updating every last legacy page in need of editing. I mean, at some point, "starting over" is easier than fixing, and we would still have the old to base the new off of, and that would guarantee some measure of oversight for every page included. But, again, I'm not sure all of what that would entail - and that's the sort of thing that Briess would know better than I.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 02:28, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Dwarf Fortress Wiki:Request for Adminship/Albedo

2010-02-26T20:18:54Z

Pugi: Undo revision 63931 by 83.227.89.153 (Talk)

==Administrator Candidacy Questionnaire==
===Why would I be a good Administrator?===
I just added my name to the list for '''Asst. Admin''' for this site. As a site User, I've tried to support the Admin as best I can, editing with comments, posting links to the Guidelines on over-enthusiastic newbie's pages, stuff like that. I'm active on site most days/week. And if you could see the look on my face, you'd know I'm not over-eager for this, which is a good thing. It's always dangerous to hire people who volunteer, but I have the time and energy, so... why not?

If you care about "What has Albedo done?", here are some things I'd not blush about if someone were to mention them:

* Instituted a use for [[current events]] page, where you just read about my application.

* Complete edit of more articles than I can remember - not "rewrite" (altho' that too), but just re-organizing and formatting what was there and tying it together.

* Re-organized all the randomly titled design pages into formal "X design" article format.

* Added the [[Welcome]] template to more newcomers than I can remember.

* Added more redirects and disambigs than I care to remember (including [[welcome]], among others).

* Just added all this info to my User page moments before Briess instituted this form. :P

Meh - In short, I'm active enough and have a decent sense of writing and organization, both for a single article and for a collection of them.

Vote me. Yay. --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 10:25, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

====Supporting Evidence====
[[Special:Contributions/Albedo]]
& more recently: [[Special:Contributions/75.62.155.145]]

:Link to any articles you are particularly proud of.

* Conceived of [[vein|veins and clusters]] page, combining many random pages into that one article. My first solo article.
* Re-organized and partially re-wrote the various and scattered "defense" pages ([[Defense guide]], [[Defense design]], [[Military design]], [[Trap design]], and related others) into their current format. See [[Talk:Fortress_defense#Merging_in_other_articles_and_defining_what_this_page_should_be|Talk: Fortress Defense]]for an idea of what it was before. This was a [[demon|bitch]], as it was a complete [[Losing|cluster]] before. Established editing policies in an attempt to never go there again. (Open any of those pages to edit and read <-Notes to editors->), and/or see relevant [[Talk:Defense design|discussion pages]]).

* Consulting on the Talk pages, conceived and/or wrote or re-wrote the current [[armor]], [[armor piece]], [[weapon]], [[dwarven weapon]] and [[other weapon]] page collection, thus ''removing every single redundant article on every individual weapon and piece of armor in existence.'' Sheesh, as if.

* Edited, formatted and organized the [[Color schemes]] page so the colors and differences could actually be seen at a glance, and the process understood (even by a newb!).

* Saw the need, created this tag and implemented its use:
{{Mod}}

==Public Q&A==
*'''Q''': What sort of things would you like to do with the admin tools that you currently are unable to do. [[User:Mason11987|Mason11987]] 11:58, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

*'''A''': A lot depends on what my tasked duties and rights are as co-Admin and what the "party line" is on improvements - the question is moot if my leash is a short one (and I'd expect it to be at first, at least). But, answering blind, I'd like to see the "build-a-diagram" process easier to use - if some internal coding could make that easier, that would be sweet. Maybe a page of standard tables, and a step-by-step tutorial "how to" for mid-level editing techniques like sortable tables & etc. I'd like to see some sort of easier tracking for IP-only posters - right now they're faceless to users, even when they're editing regularly (altho', again, that may depend on Admin policy). Maybe as part of that, I'd like "contributions" to be a link on ''other'' User pages, so navigation to that information is easier than it currently is. I'd also like to (try to) get more people involved in expressing opinions on the editorial direction and policies of this wiki - not to make it a pure democracy, but some sort of welcoming and well-advertised public forum where voices can be heard. But mostly I'd learn the tools themselves to see what is possible, both possible to improve and create anew - it's hard to know what I'd do with something I'm admittedly not very familiar with. But I didn't know jack about editing a wiki a year ago, not a single double-bracket or triple-apostrophe, nada, and I caught on pretty quickly as a User, so I have faith in myself.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 02:01, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Oh - I'll toss this out too - if I learned html and how to program Cisco router IOS (which I did), I can learn Wiki code. In case anyone had concerns in that direction.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 10:40, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
*'''Q''':In the next few months, the next version of DF will be released. This will make a lot of information here obsolete. How do you see yourself as an admin dealing with this? --[[User:Kwieland|Kwieland]] 15:53, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
*'''A''': Um, a month of heavy drinking in Mexico until the smoke clears? Actually, I've been thinking about this (every time I edit a page, recently! How long will that edit be relevant?) There will be three periods in the rewrite - the first will be a mass of new pages ''(some have already been posted as placeholders, empty atm)'' and "it appears" and "needs more research" type articles, which might last at least a couple weeks, maybe months. I'd look into instituting a new "category" template, like the current "[[delete]]" or "[[mod]]" templates, that tags all the old pages as "previous info" - and thus a central page would be created where these can be scanned by users and updated as they have the information and desire, and the template removed. This is hella busywork, but it might be the only way to avoid the problem I ran up against when I found DF shortly after the last version update - no one really knew what did what anymore, and old assumptions were reinforced by pages that looked good but were badly out of date (or just bad guesswork). But beyond keeping an eye out for future stub articles and redundant titles, this will mostly be User-based (altho' I probably would join in "as a User", as I do now.) The second phase, overlapped with that but extending for months, will be a flood of brand new hard information, observations and theories, complete rewrites and new articles or even entire new groups of articles - Burrows, the new Medical system, the new Squad system, the new... well, almost everything! Again, as moderator, I don't see my job to micromanage or "plan" that, but let it form organically along the same lines we have now - possibly trying to guide similar information to be combined and over-expanding articles to be split, and a readable formatting style overall, but only when things are really ugly. Possibly call attention to areas that are crying out for help once the initial rush is over. The last stage will be where we are currently - details, tweaks, better wording, and that's largely hands off. Overall, I foresee the biggest problem (besides legacy information being overlooked and contaminating the new) to be lack of research and verification of facts. We see it now - an over-enthusiastic user "wants to help", and so makes an assumption based on one observation, and it's just not got it right. Constant reminders to use the Discussion pages are in the future, I just know it. (Possibly a reworking of some of the [[Dwarf_Fortress_Wiki:Community_Portal|alphabet Rules]]?... that's a bigger and longer discussion, and not my decision to make. But there are some unwritten policies that could be formalized for the better, imo, and this might not be a bad time to make those changes.) And, of course, all this in cooperation with whatever Admin policies the new crew establishes amongst themselves. However, ''realistically'' and simply put - it will be my job to do whatever Briess ''tells'' me to do! --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 16:54, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Pugi: added awesome carp-attack picture from russian wiki

{{CreatureInfo|name=Carp|symbol=α|color=rgb(0, 128, 128)|bones=3|fat=1|skin=1|skulls=1|chunks=3|meat=3|biome= * [[Temperate]] freshwater river

* Tropical freshwater lake}}

:'' "I think I made fish too hardcore" ''--[[Toady One]]

These terrible beasts challenge the mighty [[elephant]]s for the post of [[King of beasts|King of Beasts]]. Their insidious nature and vicious strength provide them with the means to drag a fully grown [[dwarf]] into the [[water|aquatic depths]], whereupon they proceed to gnaw at the struggling [[dwarf|victim]]. And this is not all, for the awful carp can stare at the well-meaning [[fisherdwarf]] who for fear at these awful descendants of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthulhu Old Ones], are sent staggering back, too often straight off a [[cliff]]. To make things worse, they will taunt the [[Ambusher|hunters]], who in hopes of achieving eternal glory, will unload whole [[quiver]]s towards them, oblivious to nearby [[animal]]s walking on land. Not all hope is lost, for the carp bears an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achilles_heel Achilles heel], and will however die after the first winter if one is lucky enough to have a map which freezes. Otherwise, one may try draining all the [[river]]s and lakes to air-drown these water-fiends (but be wary not to water-drown your [[dwarves]] in the process).

[[Image:Carp_escape.jpg]]

== Explanation ==
The carp's status as a cold-blooded dwarf killer is no doubt due to the fact that [[Toady One]] simply used a default bite attack for the carp (as with most of the new beings in v0.27.169.33a). The carp, half the size of a dwarf, has a bite attack which inflicts 1-6 damage points. Compared to the strength of a dwarven punch (1-2 damage points) this is a bit overkill.

The carp's propensity to attack [[creatures]] outside of its element and its ability to scare away dwarves it could never really reach is probably a bug. The same could be said about the hunters ability to target and attack them.

Carp also used to gain attributes from skill increases. Previously, innate swimmers gained attributes as they gained swim skill. This has been changed, and innate swimmers no longer gain swimming skill (or stat increases).

Additionally, dwarves who get attacked by carp tend to end up in the river, either from being pulled in, "dodging" into it, or trying to bull-rush the carp.

Note that while carp found in [[murky pool]]s seem to fiercely defend their territory (believing themselves to be cornered), those that swim through [[river]]s generally prefer to flee from dwarves rather than fight.

== Advice ==

:'' "So i'm pretty new to dwarf fortress and something.... odd happened. As the migrants were passing a pool of water, about half of them were 'struck down'. Intrigued, I used {{k|k}} to look around, but the only thing in the pool was carp. What killed most of the migrants?" -- Forum User Warhammer651.

If you are new to DF, then there is only one thing to do if you come across a river full of carp and you don't want your dwarves to die... Run. Run and never look back. But that's not very dwarvenly, and while others may understand, they'll still mock you. The game can be merciless, some dwarves will die; part of the [[fun]] is trying to stop it, if not always succeeding perfectly.

You need to construct a [[well]] anyway for tending the wounded - that will solve one small part of the problem.

You can channel out a canal and put protective [[grate]]s over it, for both fishing and drinking, and designate your fishing/drinking [[zone]]s there - that will help also. (Channel just the end area, and dig a tunnel to that desired area, and then channeling out the last tile next to the water source to flood it - that will prevent creating a long carp-friendly access river to that area. But better just don't fish and drink only from a well.)

If you have some carp-free water sources, you can use designations ({{k|d}}) then set [[traffic|traffic areas]] ({{k|o}}) to simply discourage your Dwarves from using the dangerous waters. (Note that if carp are sighted in one part of a long [[stream]] or [[brook]], they are everywhere in it.)

A further alternative would be to position your Marksdwarves nearby for some shooting practice. This, combined with the Traffic area solution, works exceedingly well in keeping your dwarves safe and controlling the problem, if not wiping out the Carp population altogether for the long-term safety of a Carp-infested map.

Another option is cheating by modifying the raw files. Carp are in Dwarf Fortress\raw\objects\creature_large_riverlake. In here you can find their [[creature tokens|damage and attacks]] and modify them, so that they become weak or benign creatures, or if you feel like a cruel god, just delete them from existence altogether.

Pugi: /* Tiny tilesets */ put nobbins tileset into own category

''You may be looking for general information on [[tilesets]] or the [[List of user graphics sets|Graphics set repository]].''

== Square tilesets ==

These are all the character sets with square tiles, except for the character sets with 16×16 tiles. Those are listed [[List_of_user_character_sets#16.C3.9716_tilesets|below]]. Text in square tilesets (as opposed to tilesets with shorter width) is usually more difficult to read, but the map is not distorted.

|comments=Custom tileset I made for my own use when the adjustable grid sizes were released for DF. Some accented letters cut slightly to allow for larger letter display. Contains several of Tocky's tiles (barrels, some trees, dimple cups, coins, slightly modified armor stand). Others are either made by me or adjusted from curses_800x600 tiles.

You may like [[List_of_user_character_sets#Dorten|Dorten's revision]] more. The following is the original description: I dislike curses_640x300.bmp due to its lack of any kind of graphics for things like a bed or a barrel and the fact that it distorts my beautiful circles, so I made a similarish tileset to fix those.

|comments=Recently I learned of a monitor displaying 2560 pixels horizontally, and I decided it needed a tileset to put to use. Taking the tileset I use (Kelora 16x16 diagonal) and doubling it, I was able to get a decent tileset. Smoothing the edges, and redoing some glyphs to get a better look (or just messing up some to bad to fix), I was able to achieve this.

Almost all symbols have been redrawn antialiased; so DF 40d16 ([http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=40349 0.28.181.40d16]) must be used. Note that most symbols are white and the background is transparent, which makes it hard to discern anything in the PNG. In order to use unscaled tiles, horizontal resolution must be at least 1920.

A special emphasis is placed on maximizing the text's readability, while still providing a "graphics enhanced" play area. Special thanks to Maus for the font, and Guybrush for the inspiration.

With everything else, I just tried to maximize clarity and readability and to keep them consistent. I'm really very pleased with how this set turned out.

== 16×16 tilesets ==

The 16×16 tilesets are a subset of square character sets. 16×16 is a frequently used size, as shown by the number of tilesets in this section. This is probably because all of the best creature graphics sets use 16×16 tiles. Those alternate sets for creatures can be found at [[graphics sets]]. '''If your screen is too small for these, turn on BLACK_SPACE!'''

Also, bins look decent and up/down stairs look okay. This set looks its best with Sphr's graphics.

I did not use much of the pretty but confusing art I see in many of the other sets. I tried for a while to incorporate many of these but found that with the multiple uses for most characters they were just wrong far too often to be useful. The only ones that seem to work are the dwarves which I took from Flying Mage / Guybrush. The pretty 3Dish fonts as well just seem to look muddier and be less legible.

Since I can't create from scratch, I had to take tiles from other tilesets and modify them, in an evolution-like manner, until they became how I wanted them.

This changes both the image and corpse of humans to a unique image, which creature graphics cannot do. The elves also get a different tile, [TILE:171]. I plan to make a separate goblin symbol.

|comments=Impressed with the genius of using sprites as tiles, I cobbled together this tileset of my own. It uses Super Foul Egg's superb font as a base, with several sprites also found in other users' sets. Because a lot of letters are used for graphics, I suggest that you [[User:Jackard|remove accented letters from names]] with this set. I also suggest you shift some items to other icons, such as the coniferous trees (change Pine, Cedar, Larch from 024 to 147), the turtle (change 15 to 151), and Quarry Bush leaves (change from 006 to 003).
V2 now with new graphics for walls and liquids, as well as some other tweaks here and there and a first attempt at using dual-color sprites using a cyan base instead of simple greyscale. (Right now implemented for beds, wood and statues.)
V1 can still be found [[:Image:16x16_isenhertz_v1.png|here]].

|comments=This is a modified version of Mike Mayday's/Herrbdog's tileset. It has a more textured feel to the walls and makes heavy use of the new transparency features to make some of the tiles a little more dynamic. You can view a preview map [http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-7000-dragonskull here]. I recommend changing the sky settings in the init.txt file to [SKY:176:15:3:0] for a more natural look. Alternatively you can change it to [SKY:170:1:0:0] for a less over-dramatic look.

To take advantage of this tileset's transparency features you'll need the latest '''experimental''' version of Dwarf Fortress, [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=40349 0.28.181.40d16]

Some tiles are original or have been tweaked, mainly to provide a much more subtle background than most. A completely new character set is used to improve legibility, tweaked and anti-aliased for dark backgrounds.

|comments=Designed for fullscreen. Inspired by Herrbdog's tileset, I created a shaded tileset targeting the default fullscreen 800x600 resolution. Basicaly, you have the exact same "curses" default tileset but with some shading done to the lower right of each letters and items. I've left alone everything which was related to mining or was meant to be plain, for example the smoothered tiles and the plain tiles in the demo. The reason behind that is that I didn't find much logic to have those graphics shaded as they could possibly connect on any direction on the screen, which would make the shading a little strange. Please note that this tileset is only a "beta". I might work on it again if there is enough people who like it and would like improvements.

This font is actually different from the 8x14 version in that 20 characters have been replaced with the original MDA wide versions. These 'extra' wide characters are sandwiched in between the end of the 8x14 and beginning of the 8×8 font in the EGA BIOS ROM. The changed characters, in ASCII order, are: arrow-left-and-right, '"', '+', '-', 'M', 'T', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z', 'm', 'v', 'w', 'ae', cent sign, yen, peseta, plus-minus, and division sign. Other than these characters, all characters are the same, with rightmost-row duplicated on the C and D rows like the MDA (though I don't actually know if this is technically correct).

== We are doing this! Let us do it right. ==

=====A=====
* '''A'''lphabet: Okay, the first rule is that there must be a rule for each letter of the alphabet. Thanks to the community, we now have all twenty-six rules! (Inspired by [[User:Peristarkawan|Peristarkawan]]'s [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomic nomic] instincts)

=====B=====
* '''B'''e bold! So says Wikipedia. If you see a mistake, be it a fact or a typo, change it. Don't leave it to someone else to clean up mistakes. Feel free to make changes. If you think an article needs a major rewrite, then if you think you can do it, go ahead and do it. You can also use the discussion (talk) page to post suggestions.

=====C=====
* '''C'''ategories: When editing a page, stop to think about what categories it should be included in, and add them if necessary. Don't forget to consider categories that don't yet exist. Capitalize the tag like <tt><nowiki>[[Category:Stub]]</nowiki></tt>.

=====D=====
* '''D'''iscussion: Use the discussion page to voice suggestions and to ask questions. Try to limit inline comments. Before editing, check the discussion page to see if there are any changes being planned. The [[Dwarf Fortress Wiki:Current events]] page is being used to announce such discussions to the general population, so as to make them findable for those who do not religiously keep up with Recent Changes. Please add your own discussions to it.

=====E=====
* '''E'''liminate {{[[Template:deletion|delete]]}} fluff. This includes redirects that aren't linked to and wouldn't be typed in the search box.

=====F=====
* '''F'''acts: Keep your information factual. If you haven't confirmed something, post it on the discussion page. Don't create linkless one-liner pages. Add as much pertinent information as you can and avoid conjecture (possibly, maybe, could be, likely) by providing concrete examples from the game or links to other parts of the wiki.

=====G=====
* '''G'''reed shall not be your motivation, but grace shall.

=====H=====
* '''H'''eadings: Organize the content of each page into sections of related information. After the introduction, use appropriate headings for each section, and follow the '''N'''aming style of this guide. Keep headings to a minimum, consider a list or a table if you have many repetitive facts.

=====I=====
* '''I'''mages: Images and [[screenshot]]s should use the default [[tilesets]] for clarity. Small diagrams can be constructed with [[Template:RT]], for easy editing, and to save on space. Exceptions are pages ''about'' tilesets and story pages like [[:Category:Bloodline Games|bloodline games]]. Images should always be in .png format. When uploading images, give them a name that is descriptive and unlikely to be duplicated. Names like "1", "screenshot", and "untitled" should be avoided.

=====J=====
* '''J'''ealousy: Don't be shocked if someone rewrites or removes your article; your hard work is not lost. Post suggestions on the discussion page and talk about the issue. All versions are stored in the history, so your material can be reused or merged with existing content if the rewriter left something out.

=====K=====
* '''K'''eys: This wiki is about a game that uses nearly 100% keyboard input, so we have a template to improve the display of keys: [[:Template:K|k]] (abbreviation of [[:Template:Key|key]]). For example, the syntax <code><nowiki>{{k|q}}</nowiki></code> will generate {{k|q}}, a standardized and visually pleasing representation of the "q" key. The enter key should be done as <code><nowiki>{{k|Enter}}</nowiki></code> ( {{k|Enter}} ), for example, and the arrow keys use arrow characters, found at [[CP437|this handy code page]]. The right arrow key, for example, appears as {{k|→}}.

=====L=====
* '''L'''osing is [[fun]]! 

=====M=====
* '''M'''ore people should use the raw files (found in your 'install dir\raw\objects') to get information about creatures and objects. They have loads of good information that the game actually uses.

=====N=====
* '''N'''aming: The titles of new pages should be singular nouns, with only the first word capitalized. Example: [[Screw pump]], [[Metalsmith's forge]], [[Gear assembly]]. Exceptions are proper nouns and terms that are always plural. Getting the wrong name can mean extra redirects and always means a page move. Screw pump is not the same as Screw Pump. Do not put question marks in the names of articles: Due to the way they are handled in URIs it messes things up, though not irreversibly.

=====O=====
* '''O'''riginal research is good! Forget what you've seen on That Other Wiki; personal experience is perfectly fine here. Without original research, this wiki would be a tiny fraction of its current self – so if you see something that seems wrong, needs verification, or just lacks information, load up the current edition and check for yourself (but please, say you've done so on the talk page).

=====P=====
* '''P'''review: Use the preview button to check for typos. Avoid cluttering the history of a page with multiple edits. Mark small changes as 'minor' so they can be (optionally) hidden from the recent changes page.

=====Q=====
* '''Q'''ueue: Check the special pages for work still to be done! There are lists of [[Special:Deadendpages|Dead end pages]]. [[Special:Uncategorizedcategories|Uncategorized categories]], [[Special:DoubleRedirects|Double redirects]], [[Special:BrokenRedirects|Broken redirects]], and [[Special:Specialpages|others]] that all need work occasionally. If you feel more like writing content than maintaining the wiki, the list of [[:Category:Stub|stub pages]] is a good place for you to start, followed by the [[Special:ShortPages|short pages]] that exist.

=====R=====
* '''R'''edundancy: Before creating a new page, do a search to find out if the topic is already discussed in detail somewhere else. If you find that redundant pages already exist, merge their content and have one redirect to the other. This rule also refers to redundant material inside pages.

=====S=====
* '''S'''tyle: In general, try to follow the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style Wikipedia Manual of Style] when writing articles. For example, introduce keyword articles by highlighting the first keyword in bold, such as '''Rules'''.

=====T=====
* '''T'''imelessness: The wiki is intended as a guide for all players, even new ones. As such, references to differences from or similarities to old versions of DF should be reduced and eliminated, except on pages specifically dealing with said differences or similarities. Avoid phrases like "now marble can be used to make steel" or "before, farms required two floodgates", etc. For facts that are likely to change, or placeholder features, use [[Template:Version]]. For example, you might say, "[[Cave-in]]s are buggy right now{{version|0.27.169.33a}}" using the version template: <code><nowiki>{{version|0.27.169.33a}}</nowiki></code>.

=====U=====
* '''U'''ser pages: Introduce your self, let the community know who you are. If you have a comment on someone's actions on the wiki, praise or otherwise, post it on their talk page, and they'll get notified next time they log in. However, keep this place civilized; avoid flame wars, personal attacks and insults.

=====V=====
* '''V'''erify: Many loosely based assumptions are floating around. Verify your information and check [[:Category:Articles needing further verification]] if you think you can help verify others. If you have something that is not verified, use the <code><nowiki>{{verify}}</nowiki></code> tag right after it.

=====W=====
*'''W'''it can be hard to recognise once it has been written down. It is best if it is used on clearly humour or story related pages, talk or user pages, but kept to a minimum in fact-based articles like [[Dwarf]] or [[Summer]]. Use an appropriate template such as {{tl|D for Dwarf}} if there might be confusion.

=====X=====
* '''X'''eniality: Be nice to people who are new to Dwarf Fortress.

=====Y=====
* '''Y'''e Olde Info: It's outdated - update it. Keep the wiki up to date. Remember, sieges were only buggy until quite a few versions ago!

=====Z=====
* '''Z''': the mark of '''Z'''orro. Sign each of your 'Talk' entries with your own <nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki>.

== Notice Templates ==

There are templates available for marking pages needing improvement. Ideally, you should make appropriate changes and move on, but if you are unable to access the required information, post a notice to flag an issue up. Using template notices provides a consistent way of flagging a page. Notices in use can be tracked through category pages. Notices based on rules from this page should all use the [[:Category:Pages that break Community Portal rules]] category.

This section is far from complete.

=== Template for Notice Templates ===

{{Colored Notice Box|#0000FF|Contents of the message.
Second value is sidebar colour in HTML hex, RR GG BB, e.g. #FF0000 (red), #009900 (dark green), #0088FF, (light blue), #000000 (black)}}
<nowiki>{{Colored Notice Box|#FF00FF|Contents of the message}}</nowiki>

=== Image Rules Notice ===

{{Image Rules Notice}}
<nowiki>{{Image Rules Notice}}</nowiki>

=== New Notices ===

If several pages arise that break the same rule, create a new template based off one of the above templates. Remember to include the [[:Category:Pages that break Community Portal rules]] tag at the bottom, or some other appropriate category so that other users can track pages that need reworking. To create a new template, type <nowiki>[[Template:Rule name notice]]</nowiki> into an article, or directly into the address bar of your browser.

Pugi: /* Experience gain? */

A new image should probably be uploaded to this page to reflect the changes to the screen (colour coding, squads etc.). Some parts of the article will have to be rewritten. --[[User:Kingzilla|Kingzilla]] 16:42, 7 February 2008 (EST)

== sewer brew? really? ==

One of my dwarves seriously has a preference for sewer brew and he arrived without it, too. Could it be that he nipped from that barrel the dead elf *snicker* dropped and liked it? Well, i guess thats what they call an acquired taste then.--[[User:Koltom|Koltom]] 21:48, 28 March 2008 (EDT)

== colors ==

I have seen a dwarf who preferred a color, instead of a material, for clothing. can someone else confirm this?

::Previous unsigned comment by [[User:Strangething|Strangething]]

:I've definitely seen color preferences - is that for clothing? Often its a pretty random color that i've never seen in clothing though. --[[User:Squirrelloid|Squirrelloid]] 15:47, 25 April 2008 (EDT)
:Does a preference for, say, "the color yellow" apply to gypsum walls? Is it just dyes?--[[User:Dadamh|Dadamh]] 13:14, 29 May 2008 (EDT)

== Doesn't really care about anything anymore ==

What exactly does this tag mean, and what triggers it?

:Having a lot of their friends killed and/or killing a lot of things. I'm pretty sure the latter is the actual trigger, but the former sounds more likely from a psychological standpoint. :p Anyways, I believe its effect is that the dorf is less likely to be cheered up or depressed by external stimuli. Which may be a plus, since it's usually the soldiers who get this (at least in my case) and they tend to go through crap that ruin their day on daily basis. --[[User:Sz|Sz]] 04:21, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

== Quality ==

Preferences can have a huge effect on quality: My Dabbling bone crafter who likes amulets made a superior quality amulet.

== Experience gain? ==

I think that preferences might somehow affect experience gain rates. For example, I chose a dwarf who likes picks to be a miner, and he quickly became legendary in it. I am not sure if it was because he liked picks, or if he just got it because he was my only miner at the time and I had him working constantly...
:Preferences do not affect experience gain rates. Mining is generally a quick to learn skill, especially if you have only one miner who does all the work. You can see the experience gains at the [[Experience]] page and check them with tools like [http://code.google.com/p/dwarftherapist/ Dwarf Therapist]. Also, please sign your edits by putting <nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki> after your comment, even if you have no account or are not logged in. --[[User:Pugi|Pugi]] 20:09, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

I have this one dwarf who fell unconscious a lot while hunting yet somehow never died (saw her struggle back to life while a wolf was gnawing on her face and then woke up to kill the wolf)... since then I've taken her off hunting and she is constantly falling unconscious just doing mundane stuff like hauling stone. What gives? --[[User:DimensionWarped|DimensionWarped]] 03:39, 23 November 2008 (EST)

She's either poisoned or has missing eyes/limbs, I'd wager. I had a blind wrestler who had that problem. --[[User:Navian|Navian]] 11:21, 23 November 2008 (EST)

I had the same thing happen to a dwarf of mine. After embarking, I had my Axedwarf dispatch a few pesky Fire Imps, one of which inflicted Pain but left no visible wounds. After killing the rest of the imps, she went back to chopping down trees, and from then on would fall asleep randomly once every 1-2 days, usually in the middle of whichever important task I had assigned. --[[User:Telvannis|Telvannis]] 3:08, 17 November 2009 (EST)

My Baron received a head injury and was dragged back to the barracks. He's been unconscious for several years now. A Human diplomat has been waiting at his bedside for just as long. Any ideas? Where is the life support switch? --[[User:ccheney|ccheney]] 0:49, 06 January 2010 (EST)

40d:Alcohol

2010-01-05T20:49:53Z

Pugi: Undo revision 60578 by DeniseByrd (Talk) (Vandalism)

'''Alcohol''' is one of the staples of the dwarven diet; it quenches their [[thirst]] and gives them positive [[thoughts]]. Healthy dwarves will drink alcohol exclusively when it is available. When dwarves are forced to drink [[water]], they begin to work slowly as a result of their alcohol dependency. Note that in Dwarf Fortress, [[milk]] is not actually drinkable - it is only used to make [[cheese]] or be cooked into prepared meals directly. Dwarves drink ''only'' alcohol and water.

Alcohol can be brewed at a [[still]], brought with you from the [[embark]] screen, or [[trade]]d with visiting caravans.

[[:Image:Sober.jpg|Sobriety has no place in the fortress.]]

===Brewing===
To brew alcohol at a [[still]] requires a [[#Brewable_plants|brewable plant]] and an empty [[barrel]]. Every unit of plant produces 5 units of alcohol. Brewing enough alcohol for even a medium-sized population requires a lot of barrels; be sure to keep plenty near to hand.

A single ''stack'' of plants will be brewed in one go, and the resulting booze will be placed into a single barrel - a stack of ''Plump Helmet [5]'' will produce ''Dwarven Wine [25]'', and will only occupy a single barrel. Skilled [[grower]]s, who tend to harvest larger stacks, can therefore reduce the number of barrels required to store alcohol, which in turn minimizes the required stockpile size. Brewing (unlike cooking) also yields plantable [[seed]]s.

===Consumption===
A healthy adult [[dwarf]] consumes approximately 18 units of drink per year. Each drink consists of the dwarf walking to a booze barrel (one not currently being drunk from), upending it over his alcohol-intake orifice ([[mug]]s are for simpering [[human]]s), and liquoring up. Because dwarves tipple so frequently, the main liquor stash is often the second-most heavily populated area of the fort (right after the main [[meeting|meeting area]]) and [[dwarves]] spend much time walking to and from it. So: The booze should be both secure and accessible. An easy way to achieve this is to designate a booze-exclusive [[stockpile]] in the dining hall or statue garden. Fresh booze will be delivered directly to the party, and then a barrel-exclusive furniture stockpile by the still will return your 'empties' straightaway.

===Cooking===
Since a single brewable item will produce five units of alcohol, and each unit of alcohol can be cooked directly into [[food]], it is profitable to brew any plants you intend to cook. In this manner, you may produce five times the food you would from simply growing and then cooking your crops. Be wary though, as you need to ensure enough remains behind for drinking. Note that some consider this an [[exploit]].

===Variety===
Dwarves will eventually stop drinking a type of alcohol if all they ever drink is that one type. For example, if a fort has only [[dwarven wine]], dwarves will become tired of drinking only that and will stop drinking until they have some of a different alcohol.

:Urist McSwiller: ''Why is there only ale?''

:Urist McManager: ''Because we only grow pig tails here!''

:Urist McSwiller: ''By [[Armok]] and all that's dwarvenly, I now take this pledge... Unless I taste some other alcohol, I will never drink ale again, even if it means slowing this fortress to a grinding halt and the death of everyone inside it!''

===Happiness===
Dwarves get happy thoughts from drinking. The intensity of this buzz depends on the [[quality]] of the drink and whether it matches the dwarf's personal [[preferences]]. The quality of a drink is a hidden value (with no effect on price) which improves with the skill of the [[brewer]]. It is unknown whether high-value liquors (like [[#Grown_Outside|sunshine]]) boost feelings more than low-value ones (like [[#Grown_Outside|gutter cruor]]){{verify}}. We do know that dwarves prefer to drink them. Dwarves also prefer a variety of alcohols to choose from, and they will get unhappy thoughts from drinking the same old booze every day.

===Wounded dwarves===
Wounded dwarves will not drink alcohol; they must be given [[water]] by a caretaker with a [[bucket]]. Therefore, a [[fortress]] cannot survive on alcohol in the absence of drinking water, unless dwarves are abandoned when wounded.

A dwarf with a permanent injury to his or her nervous system will be bedridden for life and will never again drink alcohol, and upon inspection will have the thought "He needs alcohol to get through the working day, and he can't remember the last time he had some!" You may wish to put these poor dwarves out of their misery.

===Fire===
Players are advised to keep their alcohol stocks away from [[fire]], as booze will very quickly boil away in red clouds. In previous versions, this was observed to inflict significant damage to dwarves, though currently{{version|0.28.181.40d}} the only damage comes from the fire itself.

Pugi: /* Vacuum? */ formatting

==Connectedness==
Is this still valid? I recall that only truly disconnected areas cave in these days...

Yeah, this is what I've heard. I'm digging out a bunch of greater than 7x7 rooms now so we'll find out shortly.
--[[User:Karlito|Karlito]] 00:26, 30 October 2007 (EDT)

:I've dug out some big rooms (10x10 I think is the biggest so far) and not had a cave-in for a season or so. I'm thinking it only does it on disconnects. makes it ALOT easier to plan your fort out. --[[User:BurnedToast|BurnedToast]] 00:33, 30 October 2007 (EDT)

::No kidding. What are the chances of accidentally completely disconnecting an area? I think that Toady One is going to continue to tweak the cave-in circumstances, though, so some things that don't cave in now may in later versions. --[[User:Peristarkawan|Peristarkawan]] 12:56, 30 October 2007 (EDT)

::Sorry, but I don't understand what a disconnected area is. Could you try to explain? [[User:Sinoth|sinoth]] 12:50, 30 October 2007 (EDT)

:::A disconnected section doesn't connect to the rest of the map. As far as I know, that means it checks above, below, north, south, east, and west of a block of stone for connecting blocks, and continues checking through them to make sure the section isn't isolated. Toady mentioned something along the lines of it only checking for disconnects around the area you are mining. If the section is isolated, each block of the disconnected section will fall straight down. That's the general idea, I believe, and such disconnects are not easy to create. --[[User:Janus|Janus]] 13:12, 30 October 2007 (EDT)

::::I can easily see how to create an isolated support, but how would you create an isolated room? The dwarves would have to get there somehow... Also, wouldn't an isolated room (with nothing on any side of it, including above) be less likely to collapse because there's nothing nearby to collapse into it? --[[User:Bobson|Bobson]] 13:49, 30 October 2007 (EDT)

:::::1. Build a box with constructed walls from the ground.
:::::2. Remove the construction connecting it to the ground.
:::::Also, an isolated room, would ''have'' to collapse, unless we've got anti-gravity-field-generators. --[[User:Savok|Savok]] 14:59, 2 November 2007 (EDT)

:I've mined out several levels underground. Then I dug channels (carefully) around the edge of the top layer. Once the last channel section was finished... bam! Cave-in. Only, it didn't stop at the first level below. It kept going to the last level dug out, taking with it all the loose debris. If there are any BUILDINGS in the region that collapsed, they will break apart. --[[User:AzureLightning|AzureLightning]] 14:04, 30 October 2007 (EDT)
==Use hidden comments for "editors eyes only" info==
"Don't pay any attention to the information below this line! It is simply a placeholder!" - Why have it there if doesnt need to be? Take it away and re-add when something worthwhile is to be said. --[[User:Mizipzor|Mizipzor]] 17:51, 31 October 2007 (EDT)

==Large area collapses==
When building my underground farms with light access I had a lot of collapses but once the room was finished they ceased. There 8 by 8 and three floors down with open air access. I think a collapse happens if you have a room greater the 7x7 horizontally and more than 3 vertically. From what I've observed it seems like it only checks for a collapse every time a square is dug. --[[User:Lucid|Lucid]] 20:57, 31 October 2007 (EDT)

I dug an open pit in a sandy grassland region. The pit was 4x6 and one level below the surface. And yet, somehow I had a cave-in. It was minor, and only knocked my miner out for a few ticks, but I'm still trying to figure out why an open-air pit would register a cave-in. (In addition, nothing actually changed as far as the pit topography.) --[[User:RedKing|RedKing]] 01:58, 4 November 2007 (EDT)

:If you dig all the way around the edge then that causes a cave in, i.e if you make a C shape and then dig out the remaining wall the center will fall down. This will destroy any buildings underneath.[[User:Jikor|Jikor]]

== Avoiding ==

I removed the 7x7 info until someone can verify that it's relevant in the new version. I'd also be interested to know when rockslides or shearing happens. --[[User:Turgid Bolk|Turgid Bolk]] 16:44, 13 November 2007 (EST)

:I can confirm that the 7x7 thing ISN'T valid as of 39e. I've had a 10x20 room with two solid layers on top of it for years and it hasn't collapsed. Only three walls, too. --[[User:CrazyEyes|CrazyEyes]] 11:00, 06 August 2008 (PST)

On the safe collapse front, it might be worth noting that you can also take advantage of dust not passing diagonals to safely cause collapses without mechanics.--[[User:Kaypy|Kaypy]] 08:02, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Cave ins aren't supposed to damage the floor below? Is this still valid? I found an occasion where they do.

As sometimes happens, one pond froze over on my map. I dug down under the ice, and removed the support from under an island in the centre of the pond. I also dug a room (crypt) under the pond.

When the ice melted come spring, the 'ground' on the surface of the pond lasted a few seconds before realising it should collapse, and when it DID collapse it punched a hole into the room BELOW the pond. I know the hole was punched there becase next winter the ice froze down to the room below ONLY in the tils right below where the cave in occured, the rest staying distinctly wet.

== Cave-ins and Ramps ==

I was under the impression that ramping the floor will dodge any cave in or isolation concerns that occur with channels, however, this is not the case, if a tile has water on it and is the last of adjacent tiles to be ramped there will be a cave-in. Is this due to water having weight and a feature or a bug?
--[[User:Stalinbulldog|Stalinbulldog]] 11:56, 9 September 2008 (EDT)
:Cave-ins also happen if you remove ramps from a tile where there is a tree on the "downward ramp". Problem is, the tree / other item isn't visible from the "upward ramp" (even though it is the "same thing").[[User:GarrieIrons|Gar]][[User Talk:GarrieIrons|rie]] 09:14, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

== Confirmed ==

"Any item caught under falling natural terrain is encased in stone and must be dug out destroyed completely."
I saw this has a "Verify" next to it. I have a video that confirmed it(started a hermit challenge). Here is the link ->http://mkv25.net/dfma/movie-1001#lastComment --[[User:0todd0|0todd0]] 01:04, 23 December 2008 (EST)

:I honestly don't see how this verifies the statement. --[[User:N9103|Edward]] 00:31, 24 December 2008 (EST)

::I've verified that falling floor tiles will cause damage to whatever they hit but they don't destroy items. Falling walls will completely obliterate anything beneath them, with the exception of constructed walls which work like floor tiles. I've also noticed dust pushes items as well as units. Note that I'm using version 40d9. --[[User:Xonara|Xonara]] 00:54, 24 January 2009 (EST)

== Cave-in vs. objects ==

I'm pretty damn sure I've destroyed a unit of fire imp fat using a dropped (and constructed, no less) floor tile. 40d, too. --[[User:GreyMario|GreyMaria]] 19:21, 24 January 2009 (EST)
:IIRC the movie above shows some bituminous coal surviving some falling floor. I tested it with some kind of yellow stone and a mechanism and it didn't seem to destroy anything, just pushed the stuff around. Are you sure it didn't get pushed off a cliff or into some magma or something? I don't know :/ --[[User:Xonara|Xonara]] 04:32, 25 January 2009 (EST)
::It was nowhere near magma or cliff. --[[User:GreyMario|GreyMaria]] 12:37, 31 January 2009 (EST)
:::I've dropped cave-ins on buildings several times (trade depot occupied by elves loaded up with cloth, suicide booth lever linked to a support holding up the ceiling above it), and occasionally I lost an item or two. Constructed floors are definitely capable of destroying objects, just not consistently. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 20:57, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

== Cave-in vs. creatures ==

I have had many instances where my dwarf stands underneath a section of semi-support cave connected to the ceiling above him, and then survive mining out the supporting wall and have the ceiling fall on him. He was superdwarvenly tough, but this seems to contradict "Any creature caught under the falling material is crushed and killed." --[[User:FJH|FJH]] 13:24, 8 March 2009

Also, demons. At least SoF have [NOSTUN], so I'm curious if they will get stunned by cave-in-dust. Can someone test this? I don't have a demon chamber right now. [[User:MC Dirty|MC Dirty]] 08:48, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

"Death. Since a cave-in kills most creatures instantly, it can provide a convenient or amusing way to off a group of creatures." That appears later on in the article. It seems safe to just go with the cave-ins kill *most* creatures caught under them. [[User:Shardok|Shardok]] 00:58, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
:In a test embark on top of a Goblin tower, I orchestrated a cave-in directly above the (friendly) Demon who was the civilization's Ruler. He was killed instantly. In other tests, I've even squished HFS demons by collapsing the ceiling of their chamber on top of them. I'd say it's probably safe to assume that cave-ins are instantly lethal to all creatures. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 20:59, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

== Underground Forest ==
If you cause a cave in of a large tree populated area (7x10 in my case) the trees will remain intact once they drop a floor. I did not, however, play long enough to see if the trees regrow. [[User:Kenji 03|Kenji 03]] 13:07, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

I caved in a very large area of 68x28 tiles. None of the trees survived the fall and no trees have regrown. The region did not have a high tree density but some should have survived. I also dropped another area (10x6) with the same results. Version 0.28.181.40d --[[Special:Contributions/71.145.167.39|71.145.167.39]] 04:35, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
:Did you drop soil ''walls'' or just floors? --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 06:09, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

== Halting cave-ins ==
The article originally stated that only solid ground was sufficient to stop a cave-in from punching through the floor, suggesting that cave-ins would destroy constructed walls, though several tests indicate that constructed walls ARE sufficient to prevent a cave-in from punching through to a passage below (even if they were built over a channeled area with no floor), whether the cave-in consists of a constructed floors, constructed walls, or even natural stone, and they remain perfectly intact. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 19:20, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

== Vacuum? ==

I've been setting up an obsidian farm that involves (in my plan) many cave-ins to work. So I've been intentionally causing cave-ins, and they seem to create a vacuum that sucks the miner in. Let me try to diagram it for you:
Key:
. - floor
_ - channel/open space
X - miner

Upper Level:
. . . . X . . .
. _ _ _ . _ _ .

Come to think of it, the diagram is kinda useless, but I enjoyed making it, so w/e. Any ideas on this oddity? Is this official? --[[User:Waladil|Waladil]] 15:26, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

40d:Kitchen

Pugi: /* Some examples: */ many mistakes in the example, hopefully correct now

}}

A '''Kitchen''' is a [[workshop]] used by a [[cook]]. The cook uses this [[workshop]] primarily to combine base ingredients ([[meat]], [[plump helmet]]s, etc.) into prepared [[food]]. It is also used to render [[fat]] into [[tallow]].

Since kitchens can sometimes be the source of [[miasma]] from rotting food, some players take extra precautions against this.

== Prepared meals ==

On the Kitchen sub-menu of the ({{key|z}})-[[Status#Kitchen Status Screen|Overall Status/Kitchen]] screen, you can specify which foods kitchens are allowed to cook. (This is a universal control, and cannot be refined to one or more specific kitchen workshops or [[cook]]s.)

There are three grades of meals you can prepare at a kitchen:

* '''Easy''' (biscuit) requires two cookable items.
* '''Fine''' (stew) requires three cookable items.
* '''Lavish''' (roast) requires four cookable items.

The items to be cooked do not have to be different kinds of food: for instance, a cook might combine two plump helmet spawn into a single stack of two "plump helmet spawn biscuits", or four separate spawn into a single stack of four "plump helmet spawn roasts". The amount of food produced always equals the total number of food items used.

If large stacks of food are used as the ingredients, a large stack of meals will be produced. For example, 22 "Minced cave fish roasts" could be created from "minced cave fish [5], minced [[turtle]], minced [[dwarven wine]] [14], and minced turtle [2]".

Cooking foods destroys any byproducts such as [[seed]]s, [[shell]]s, or [[bone]]s - none are left, not after cooking, not after eating. This makes them ideal for placement in dining rooms located far away from your main population because food and refuse haulers will not have to trek long distances to retrieve the seeds or bones left after a meal, and a single enormous meal stack can feed several dwarves for a year or more

===Stockpiles===
A [[food]] [[stockpile]] can be customized to accept prepared meals, or only prepared meals, by using the {{k|u}} key within that stockpile. A stockpile that accepts prepared meals does not filter based on what ingredients were used - a prepared meal is simply a prepared meal, end of discussion. This can be toggled either on an existing stockpile by {{k|q}}uerying it and then using the {{k|s}} option to change it, or when creating a custom stockpile using {{k|p}} and then {{k|t}}. If all foods are {{k|b}}locked and prepared foods are allowed, ''only'' prepared foods will be placed in that stockpile.

[[Barrel]]s can only hold a max of 10 items - stacks of prepared food that are larger than 10 will not fit in barrels, and will be placed individually on stockpile tiles. This may leave them more vulnerable to [[vermin]], but can actually create denser stockpiles in terms of meals/tile. Meals that are not in barrels do not seem to rot any faster.

Many players put their prepared foods stockpiles near [[dining room]]s, to reduce the travel time for dwarfs that are [[Labor#Get back to work|eating]].

===Rotting===

A big problem with prepared meals is that if they are not stored in a stockpile (with or without a barrel) they will rot much faster than other [[food|foodstuffs]]. This will occur right there in the kitchen, effectively rendering their preparation a waste of time and resources and creating a large cloud of [[miasma]].

Currently, prepared food stacks of 10 or less can be stored in a barrel, ensuring their long-lasting preservation. Prepared meals will not rot in a food stockpile, even outside of a barrel.

Ensuring that you have enough food [[haul]]ers and open stockpiles that accept prepared food is the only way to prevent this.

==Value of a prepared meal==

Regardless of the type of meal you produce, a stack of prepared meals has a base value of 10 for each meal in the stack, multiplied by the quality rating of the preparation quality. However, the final value of a stack of meals is highly variable because it is so strongly influenced by the quality of the ingredients and the size of the ingredient stacks. The value added by the preparation can be a small fraction of the total value of the meal when expensive or exceptionally-prepared ingredients go into the meal. [[Meat]] from animals with high [[animal material multiplier|MODVALUE]], processed plants that generate large stacks, or luxury food items like [[cheese]] are all ingredients that can cause a stack of prepared meals to have a surprisingly high value.

====Some examples:====

'''+Dwarven wheat flour roast [33]+'''

:This is a stack of 33 finely-prepared dwarven wheat flour roast. The ingredients are exceptionally minced plump helmet, well-minced deer meat, superiorly minced quarry bush leaves and minced dwarven wheat flour.

:Total value: 3102☼

:10 (prepared meal) * 3 (fine) == 30 
:2 (plant) * 2 ([[plump helmet]]) * 5 (exceptional) == 20 
:2 (meat) * 1 ([[deer]]) * 2 (well-made) == 4 
:5 ([[quarry bush leaves]]) * 4 (superior) == 20 
:20 ([[dwarven wheat flour]]) * 1 (no label) == 20 
:Subtotal (value of one serving): 94☼

:94 (value) * 33 (quantity) == 3102☼

'''-Dragon meat stew [41]-'''

:This is a stack of 41 well-prepared dragon meat stew. The ingredients are finely-minced dwarven syrup, minced quarry bush leaves and well-minced dragon meat.

:Total value: 11685☼

:10 (prepared meal) * 2 (well) == 20 
:20 ([[dwarven syrup]]) * 3 (fine) == 60 
:5 ([[quarry bush leaves]]) * 1 (no label) == 5 
:2 (meat) * 50 ([[dragon]]) * 2 (well) == 200 
:Subtotal (value of one serving): 285☼

:285 (value) * 41 (quantity) == 11685☼

'''Iron men''' can be found dwelling on maps with [[chasm]]s or [[cave|cave complexes]]. Like [[undead]], iron men will ignore missing limbs, never bleed to death, and, consequently, will generally ignore pain (if they in fact feel any). [[Weapons]] and [[ammo]] don't get stuck in their bodies, which can be helpful when fighting them with [[spear]]s or [[crossbow]]s. When an iron man perishes, it leaves behind a [[item_value|masterpiece]] [[iron]] [[statue]] (worth 3000☼).

40d Talk:Challenges

2009-10-06T21:19:39Z

Pugi: /* Humanlike? */

==Prison Complex==
The idea is to build a large detention centre for the Mountainhomes.
Your starting 7 are the only dwarves allowed as wardens (except immigrants already in the military) and should have military skills and some basic construction skills.
All immigrants are treated as prisoners, and should be met as soon as possible once they enter the map and shepherded into the prison.
The cells should be arranged on three or four z-levels and all cell doors on a row linked to a lever in a seperate guard-only area.
'New fish' entered into general population during the out-of-cell hours, then all prisoners locked up for the night.
Some prisoners are on food duties - farming and such - but all food for prisoners to be dished out in a canteen.
Prisoners may also work on crafting items for the guards to trade.
Ideally many of your inmates are going to lose the plot and start attacking other inmates, leading to riots and all sorts. Send in the dogs!

I'm sure there are other interesting additions to this concept, but my experience with large and especially themed fortresses is limited.
I'd love it if anyone could expand this, and maybe figure out how to control the prisoners, get them all to bed etc.
Also, this is my first post on these pages, so hope I'm doing it right. :)

==Colorful==
This is an idea I got by reading trough all the challenges, what if you make it a goal to have the fortress in the colour of the rainbow. (Example, 80x80 tile fortress, first 10 tiles are red, second 10 tiles are brown-orange, the third 10 are yellow and go on) --[[User:G1real|G1real]] 08:43, 27 June 2008 (EDT)

==Sparta==
"You shouldn't create chainmail or plate armour."
 why? --Savok
:because spartans don't wear chest armor. you should definately watch 300, it's like Dwarf Fortress on crack! --AlexFili
::from what I've read, 300 isn't an accurate depiction of Spartan life. However, this challenge build is based on 300 --Savok

::::::Not only did Spartans use chest armour (although in the form of bronze muscel cuirasses), but it was illegal and finable to fight without your armour. Theres one story of a Prince praying in Temple when some enemies attacked, he ran out naked and killed them, the Oligarchs awarded and praised him with one hand and then fined him with the other. Further specific Spartan attributes, the largely did not wear sandals except during war (don't want your feet to be soft and flabby, gotta make them rock-proof), Sparta itself didn't rely on walls (although they did use them [notably at the battle of the Hot Gates to keep the Persians from landing south of the gates] and the city did eventually make some). Theres also the complicated issue of their government, not sure how to replicate that, dual monarchy with the Kings having no real governmental powers and an oligarchy ruling at home. Maybe having a Legendary warrior lead each of two squads and having every position (Book Keeper, Mayor, Captain of the Guard even maybe) filled by a useless fat rich guy in a nice shiny house. I should also point out alot of their generals and kings were known for a love of gold and that 50% of the population being in the military is not very accurate, actual Spartan soldiers were vastly outnumbered by the Helots. --[[User:Lowlandlord|Lowlandlord]] 01:37, 31 July 2008 (EDT)

== Humanlike? ==
It should be noted that the 'human-like fortress' as described is historically inaccurate. In particular, its either misrepresenting or confusing various details. One major point is that a _castle_ never incorporated a town. There are walled towns and there are castles, but these are entirely different things. A couple of historical periods/styles would lead to the following different suggestions:

(A) Larger (stone) medieval castles sometimes had industry in the bailey. This was often pressed up against the outer wall to save on space and wall building. It was usually militarily useful industry (ie, metalsmithing of various types). Cooking and possibly brewing might also happen, and cooking at least would have been handled in the keep itself. Industries including jewelry, carpentry (on a permanent basis), and other non-military production would have been outside the castle, quite possibly in a town nearby.

(B) More isolated smaller castles would have done necessary production in the bailey on a temporary basis (ie, erecting a carpentry work area when needed and disassembling it afterwards), with a few permanent industries (notably blacksmithing).

(C) 'Dark Ages' castles would be made of wood, and weren't large enough to accomodate much industry. Instead they would have imported everything. The early castle was a defensible home for the lord and his family, and would only house them and a few military retainers.

It should be noted that the lack of focus on industry in a castle meant diverse tasks might share the same workspace and in fact be handled by the same person. The purpose of a castle is military, not production, and castle's only produced goods for internal demand that either could not be imported, would be inconvenient to import, or were critical to the military purpose (and couldn't afford access to those goods being lost during a siege).

(D) A walled town would have no keep. Nobles would not live there. Basically, towns would build a wall around their perimeter for defense. More important towns often grew to encompass nearby castles, and often outgrew their walls - which might either lead to substantial portions beyond the walls or accruing walls occasionally to encompass new growth. Despite a castle potentially being encompassed by a town, the castle and town were administratively separate - towns receiving independent charters from the crown - and the town was never subject to the lord of the castle (who may well control the surrounding countryside).

Given the nature of Dwarf Fortress, treating it as a town rather than a castle is probably preferable unless you really want to emphasize military skills, which could be interesting. You could, of course, create a castle and a town, keeping them as virtually separate entities, with military dwarves and nobles living in the castle and other dwarves living in the town.

== Dystopian society ==

Anyone thought of making a fortress based off one of those dystopian futures found in scifi novels like 1984, We, Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451? The way I imagine it, it would be similar to the Equaland challenge, with variations based on the dystopian principle of your choice. For example, if you want to encourage uniformity across your population, enable all labor for every dwarf and persecute anyone who skills up too quickly at a given skill. A strict caste system might also be implementable, a la Brave New World. Another idea would be to kill off or at least "re-educate" any dwarf that falls below ecstatic for an extended period of time. Tons of ideas at {{wiki|Dystopia}}. Thoughts? --[[User:Mikaka|Mikaka]] 04:56, 24 June 2008 (EDT)

''P.S.: I've altered the creature tokens and set my Dwarves to Aquatic.''

:#Use pumping to pump a large area of the top level of the ocean out. Do the same with a slightly smaller area one level down. Repeat as desired.
:#Pump the ocean out, build, then let it flow back in. This is like the above, but with the whole visible ocean. --[[User:Savok|Savok]] 22:45, 20 July 2008 (EDT)

:::Oookay, okay. I have single-handedly diverted the courses of raging rapids to give my children something to drink, harnessed the power of lava, and built towers of glass. However, I cannot help but approach the idea of pumping out '''the entire ocean''' with a bit of skepticism. Is this ''really'' possible? --[[User:Anfini|Anfini]] 22:53, 21 July 2008 (EDT)

::::Aye, it is. Aside from waves, the "entire" ocean is really, due to map limitations, just a large, fast-refilling lake. If you build a ring of pumps properly, you should be able to clear the water from a section, which can be as large as your fortress map. --[[User:Savok|Savok]] 02:34, 23 July 2008 (EDT)

::::: I've personally been using 'canals' in my fortress for quite a while, and what I do is simply allocate nobles' rooms along the side of the canal, and before flooding the waterway, I dig into it and build glass windows and blocks so the nobles can watch the fish swim by. I doubt it actually raises the room value by any more than the glass windows' base value, but I like the effect.

== Dwarf Factory ==

--[[User:Bilkinson|Bilkinson]] 18:12, 28 August 2008 (EDT)
Looking to develop this callenge concept:

Your fortress is a highly specialized industrial complex. Select one item, or very narrow category of items. (ie Flour, Scepters, Shoes, Silk Bags, Crossbow Bolts) This is your factory's product. You must produce as much of it as possible, and it may only be used for export to any any and all caravans which visit your factory. Set up shift schedules, assign massive teams of dwarves (or even all of them!) to your core product, and generally devote your fort to maximizing output.

Variants: 
Assembly line - Each Dwarf is assigned a single stage of the production cycle, this is their only labour. Workshops should be grouped togeather by type, ordered based on the production cycle and grouped with relevant stockpiles. 
Communal - Every Dwarf has every relevant labour enabled, in addition to whatever else they do for the fort. 
High Management - For each Task in your production, appoint a department head. As the number of workers in each department grows, start appointing shift managers. As your factory expands in size, appoint reigonal coordinators and quality control bureaus. Cap this off with a board of directors and a CEO. None of these dwarves do anything but fill noble slots and build social skills. 
Prison/Work Camp - Noble dwarves do not contribute to labour. Max the fortress/royal Guard at all times and draft 20% of the population into the army. The remaining dwarves are prisoners who must produce output. Build walls, rig traps, and make an example of anyone who fails to meet their quota. 
People's Glorious Five-Year Plan - As above, but arrive with no skilled workers, rig all facilities with self destructs and kill switches, and only arm one in ten of your soldiers. 

Bonus: Only produce things vital to the survival of your workers, or directly involved in making your product. Anything else must be imported. 
Further Bonus: Produce only your final product, all raw materials must be imported. spend the surplus on anything else you may need.

How's it sound?

== Luxurious Tomb ==

Build an extravagant mausoleum for your entire dwarf community. Make it multi-leveled, make it a pyramid, make it out of glass if you want - but it must serve no other purpose than to be a dying place, and must not be accessed for any purpose other than to build it. Add a few decorations here and there, statues, tables, and a whole lot of coffins to house everyone.

Once it's complete, turn your fortress into a ghost town. Remove the designation of all your stockpiles. Forbid all the workshops and forbid access to the different areas of the fort as they get deserted to limit dwarf movement. Lure everyone into the tomb, seal the entrance from the inside and watch everyone die inside their new mausoleum. The tomb should be designed such that the initial entry point cannot easily be guessed (i.e.: The entrance should be sealed using a wall or some other solid structure - not via a door you just mark forbidden.

BONUS: make access to the tomb difficult or impossible, either by causing a cave-in in the tunnel that leads towards it, or by flooding the surrounding area in water or magma.

BONUS #2: Build the tomb over a chasm. Find a way to drop the whole tomb-building into it once everyone's inside.

:Suggestion: DON'T build it over a chasm; build it over a very large pit (deep enough to be called a 'chasm' by some) and make a set of ramps that lead down to the bottom. 1x2 setup; that is:
^^
^^
^^
^^
^^
^^
..
That is, up ramps, turn on normal flooring, then continue back up in the opposite direction. So a dwarf would travel in this path:
VV
VV
VV
VV
VV
VV
>^
:They'd come down the left ramp, turn left twice, and go down via the right ramp. Then they'd take two more lefts, and go down the left ramp, etc..
:Just a neat little suggestion that's way too complicated, but'd look nice...also, {{k|V}} is a ramp; {{k|^}} is not.
:I can't wait to try this out, then watch the temple I build go down, down, down, and '''SMASH'''--then use the ramps alongside it to view (and plunder, of course--it IS a tomb in adventure mode) it.
:Oh, and just a Z-level view:

:How reliably can you get them to mate?--[[User:Maximus|Maximus]] 16:57, 22 November 2008 (EST)

:: Tried this out - 3 years in and not even lovers yet. Ick. So, here's the problem: you really want two dwarves who won't start as friends with many other people (although each other is ok), and who can handle stress and aren't quick to anger. Because of course your first hurdle is going to be surviving the unhappiness generated by killing off everyone else. (You may just want to build some coffins early just in case). Unfortunately, the embark screen view mode won't let you see who they're friends with before embarking, so if you want to assign just two of them skills you're making guesses based solely on their personality traits as two which dwarves will be compatible and likely to survive the initial culling. After that you then need to reduce your job queue to almost nothing and basically lock them in the same room together so they spend their time talking - because you've already chosen otherwise self-reliant and anti-social dwarves.

::Some evidence on the Relationships talk page suggests giving some social skills to your dwarves may increase the rate at which they progress to friends/lovers.

::My first attempt was a Carpenter 5/Cook 5 and a Mason 5/Grower 5... I might have to revise that to Mason 5/Grower 3/Something social 2 and Carpenter 4/Cook 4/something social 2 - but carpenter and mason are going to be important for generating happy thoughts.

::Apparently setting the .init file to a max of 2 dwarves doesn't stop immigrants from coming - which is annoying because I really don't want to keep killing them off, and they keep stealing my moods. (Yes, i put a stone stockpile outside so the immigrants can build their own deathtrap over the lava vent). I do recommend playing on an island so you only have to deal with not going outside for the dwarf caravan each year. And the liaison will happily join your migrants on the death trap if you make it a meeting area.

::--[[User:Squirrelloid|Squirrelloid]] 10:18, 23 November 2008 (EST)

:::It's all a matter of compatibility. Dwarves actually don't start out friends, they just make them almost instantly at the start (and can make grudges here, too. I had one who had a very low sense of adventure while everyone else had high, and five of the seven had grudges with her.) To become lovers and get married requires a very, very high compatibility--whatever that means. It seems that some dwarves never upgrade from lovers to married, either, perhaps due to being not compatible enough, but being faced with a lack of programming to handle breakups. (I'll leave that one to the playwrights.) Getting this challenge to work is probably more than half the challenge! --[[User:Navian|Navian]] 11:29, 23 November 2008 (EST)

:::Do social skills make dwarves more likely to make friends, or does being friendly make dwarves more likely to gain social skills? Instead of focusing on social skills, you might need to pick dwarves with a lot of friendly traits (or even compatible traits, like Navian suggests). You can check their personalities before setting out -- if you don't see compatible traits, scrap it and start building another party.

:::For happiness, build several native gold (i.e., masonry) statues and put them in their bedrooms -- that will dwarf (ahem) the bonus you will get from the bed itself being high-quality. You can potentially skip carpentry altogether.

:::For them to actually form a relationship, you might need to give them idle time, during which they will socialize.

:::To keep other dwarves away, you could try putting a moat around the entire perimeter of the map (better still, a magma moat). This worked with the 2D version, but with finite quantities of fluid in the 3D version, it might not work anymore. But if you do want to try, put a wall as close to the edge of the map as it allows you, and flood everything outside it. Have the sacrificial five (and all immigrants) work on that.

== Magma/Lava Waterfall ==

Would creating a sustainable magmafall, or one that can be triggered as part of a defense system, be considered a challenge? Or is it more of a Stupid Dwarf Trick? I'm just curious because one has to take into account building the thing, making sure it won't set your dwarves on fire, and where to put the excess magma/lava since you can't really just pump it back into the magma pipe without some sort of massive and elaborate pump system. (Oh wow, I feel stupid. I created a new subject and forgot to sign it for at least two days.) --[[User:Alkyon|Alkyon]] 20:26, 10 January 2009 (EST)

:I'm inclined to declare it a SDT, due to the overly dangerous side effects. But then... I'd also call half the challenges SDTs too. I think that if the side effects are more dangerous than the intended effect, it's no longer a challenge, but something some random (insane) dwarf felt needed to be done. To put it in perspective, there's few cases where a 20-dwarf squad can't handle an entire siege, with or without fortifications and traps. Give them those, and they can handle all the siegers rushing and arriving at the same time. Even if you never have any mistakes during the construction of the magma-defenses (and that's a rare thing) then you could easily lose more than 20 in the first siege alone from dwarves trying to gather dropped goods. It's also almost useless against any other defenses (thieves & ambushes) since you'll have little, if any forewarning that you need to clear the area and throw the switch.
:On the other side of the fence, if you're particularly interested in making this, you should do the little things, like making a near-exact count of how much lava you'll need to let flow, to both keep all tiles where it will settle to less than 2/7 (since then it would never evaporate, the best cleaning method) and how to direct the flow so that it covers the path, but doesn't flow to other areas you didn't intend. --[[User:N9103|Edward]] 15:38, 11 January 2009 (EST)

::Well, it doesn't have to be part of a defense system, one could just have massive magma waterfalls lining their entrance. Though I have to say from experience that the hardest part is drainage. Creating a massive magma cistern is one thing, it just takes some pumps and construction, but getting the stuff to not backup on the way to the disposal chasm and therefore not flood your fortress is a bit more complex than it first seems.--[[User:Alkyon|Alkyon]] 11:13, 12 January 2009 (EST)

Also, I learned from my failed experiment that Coke roads + magma spillover = road of fire.

:::::LOL, yes, I saw that and was thinking something along the lines of Mordor myself ;) As for spill over, the magma tends to flow off to the side off the top of the magma pipe where I'm at, resulting in a net loss to evaporation, so I just turn it off for a season once or twice a year. As for finding a magma pipe that's exposed *and* sunken, to provide atleast one level of inaccessible floor around the pipe, I'd look in the mountains, where you've got many many levels of elevation. Or atleast, that's what my map looks like (50+ levels) with the majority of the map being mountain tiles, and one corner (of a 2x4 map) being desert. It had two * listed in the height map, '''''but no chasm''''', so that could help to find one. --[[User:N9103|Edward]] 23:35, 14 January 2009 (EST)

:Or, how about a dual water/magma waterfall, meeting on the road leading in? Encase your enemies in carbonite, err, obsidian. [[User:Random|Random]] 20:31, 15 January 2009 (EST)

== "Real time" challenge talk ==

1) As mentioned in the challenge, opening any menu pauses the game

2) "You have struck Alunite!" Anyone else get this message and a pause every 5 minutes?

If you were to keep the game running while you slept -- and trust me, I have -- all it takes is one minor inconvenience of the legion the game contains to pause it. I set the game to keep running before I went to bed one night, and between doing that and going to brush my teeth, it paused. I resumed, lay down in bed, and not a minute later, I opened my eyes to see the game had paused ''again.'' Too much stuff causes the game to pause to really execute this without constant babying.

Overall, I don't see this challenge as being feasible. Not bad in theory, but impossible in practice. --[[User:Eddie|Eddie]] 06:15, 16 January 2009 (EST)

:Yes, thats true. That challenge would require either a new version where pausing-for-announcements can be disabled or a helper program to automatically acknowledge them and unpause the game. [[User:Random|Random]] 20:54, 16 January 2009 (EST)

== Hermit Challenge ==

Does anyone have any tips for not having any damn migrants? The carps can't eat everyone.
: Well, you can just kill them all. Atom smasher, lava, water, goblin siege, choose your way to kill them. Even random ballista bolt could do the trick! Bonus point for the creative part !? :D [[User:Karl|Karl]] 19:45, 21 January 2009 (EST)

== The Great Wall of [Kingdom] ==

Here's an interesting challenge:

Your kingdom needs a great impenetrable defense to protect against your goblin enemies. You have been assigned to build a giant wall!

The wall must stretch from one side to the opposite, have a height of 5 z-axis, be four tiles wide complete with gate(s), towers, fortifications, ballistas and catapults. You must also position a crossbowdwarf at every ten tiles.

* BONUS: Build it right next to a goblin lair.
* BONUS: Build it all using only wood.
* BONUS++: Build it all using only soap!

[[User:Myroc|Myroc]] 15:16, 22 January 2009 (EST)

:This wouldn't work due to the fact that you can't build walls (among other things) too close to the edge. At best, it would have to start six tiles in on both sides. However, you could implement an existing hill/mountain to "assist" with the completion of the wall.
:[[User:Nocash|Nocash]] 18:30, 24 January 2009 (EST)

::Ah, good point. I kinda forgot about that. [[User:Myroc|Myroc]] 05:50, 25 January 2009 (EST)

:::You could use raised bridges at the ends, they can be built right up to the edges. --[[User:Torasin|Torasin]] 13:25, 25 January 2009 (EST)

== Pave the World? ==

If one where to flood the world with magma, then flood it with water, you would be left with a solid block of obsidian, am I right? (along with ALOT of steam.) Bonus for paving the elves. --[[User:Zchris13|Zchris13]] 18:13, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunately, Unless you time it right, you will get one flat layer of obsidian with all the water under it; the obsidian doesn't jump straight to the bottom. [[User:Sensei|Sensei: Last seen somewhere in the Basic Jungle of Terror]] 17:26, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

:So if the water reaches the edge, and it drains, you're left with a layer of obsidian sitting on air? I can't really think of a use for something like that, but it sounds incredibly awesome anyway. --[[User:Smartmo|Smartmo]] 19:03, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

== Rewrite ==
Alright, this article is getting way too messy. 60 top-level items is more than most talk pages, many of them overlap each other, the ones involving goblin forts are out of date (as local goblins are automatically friendly as of 40d) and some of them just plain aren't challenges.

For now I've split them up into three broad categories, and I plan to weed out redundant/wrong bits and streamline the whole thing while still hopefully preserving some of the "flavor text". [[User:Walliard|Walliard]] 04:06, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

== College ==
A center for enlighted craftsmanship studying and teaching. There should be auditoriums for each workshop type lined with chairs and a few lecture rooms with ascending rows of chairs where nobles rant to the peasants how lesser they are and to teach them manners. A canteen and dorms will also be needed.

Minor bonus: auditoriums are designated as meeting halls and have balconies and floor hatches on the ceiling to allow best studying with illuminated stages. 
Minor bonus: Hold keger parties each night. 
Bonus: Do not make co-ed dorms; married couples can rent a small apartment from nearby study houses. 
Bonus +: Engligthen other races. 
Ultimate bonus: Englighten orcs, goblins and other less friendly creatures. -[[User:Karpatius|Karp]] 08:00, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

== Water Park challange ==

Try to make a bunch of pools and somehow keep the water level always at 4/7 so they wont drown. Then set the pools as meeting areas so all of your dwarves will go there and eventually everyone will be legendary swimmers

bonus: somehow make waterslides

bonus: make it outside so your dwarves will be tan

bonus: pave it with gold

bonus: make a sauna using steam from lava and water colliding

how does this sound as a challenge. If you can get it to work all of your peasants will get stats from the swimming skill making them easier to train in something useful.--[[User:Cerol The Elf Hunter|Cerol The Elf Hunter]] 16:08, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

== Splitting Article? ==

I was thinking this article is getting cumbersome. Would anyone else think splitting this into "Challenges" and "Projects" is a good idea? Then we can work on getting each one organized in their own way.

If you guys can think of anything to add to this, let me know. [[User:Schm0|Schm0]] 19:58, 30 October 2007 (EDT)

:I would suggest changing the region numbers to 101-107 etc, as they're unlikely to be already used, and most pregen maps (packs and non-packs) are unlikely to ever use that range either. --[[User:N9103|Edward]] 23:01, 3 January 2008 (EST)

:Simple, I want a description of what the symbols on the map mean. eg, what does "#" stand for?

::At the bottom of the article you'll see a set of links to other Overworld related pages. [[Map_legend]] is the one you're looking for. --[[User:Janus|Janus]] 03:17, 21 November 2008 (EST)

Oh yeah, and I can't get the last graphic to show, even though it exists. [[User:Schm0|Schm0]] 20:17, 30 October 2007 (EDT)

It took me *way* too long to figure out, but I know why the last picture isnt showing. It has "ad" in the URL, and you are using AdBlock.
:Thank you, anonymous. :)

From my own little experiments, it looks like the /wait commands aren't needed. There may be a difference in OS here, but under Windows XP Home SP2, I can create a .bat file with

dwarfort.exe -gen 1

dwarfort.exe -gen 2

right after the other. When one creation ends, the window closes and the next begins. The two [RANDOM]s aren't required, either. If the .bat is in the same folder as your executable, you don't have to go through the whole "C:\df\whatever" tree, either. [[User:Mephisto|Mephisto]] 16:08, 9 November 2007 (EST)

:Well, like I said, it's for you to use or modify if necessary. I know that it will be compatible on all copies of XP and beyond... I don't care to bother and check what version of XP I have, but the batch program will not function correctly unless I use the /wait commands. Obviously you wouldn't need to include the directory of the files, unless you ran it from the desktop. Some good observations, nonetheless. [[User:Schm0|Schm0]] 22:15, 5 December 2007 (EST)

::I just tried this without the "start /wait" part, and it didn't work for me (Win XP SP1) - it generates only one map, then stops. Leave the code as it is.--[[User:Siliziumleben|Siliziumleben]] 21:32, 2 January 2008 (EST)

::Like it more this way. If you'll have any problems with 'wait's, just add it.--[[User:Dorten|Dorten]] 01:42, 11 January 2008 (EST)

i dont get seeds.. sure theyre not random... but what do they do? a list of different seeds and what they create? [[User:Twiggie|Twiggie]] 10:16, 5 December 2007 (EST)

seeds define the world that is generated; unless you want a world that somebody else has generated, then using the 'random seed' option will give you a more-or-less random map, (don't be confused by all the pseudorandom stuff, it's random enough -_-) well, I doubt anybody has a list of pregenerated worlds and their seeds, but I think it'd be better to create your own. There'll be areas with low difficulty and areas with high difficulty, so there's no problem there.
[[User:Jc100|Jc100]] 06:18, 12 December 2007 (EST)

On random seeds... It is very difficult to make a number that is truly random on a computer. Instead of doing something like hooking up a Geiger counter and a source[http://www.imagesco.com/geiger/geiger-counter-kits.html#rngad] to generate a pseudo random number, you pick a starting point - a seed. You can run this number through a function[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne_twister] and get another number. This new number is returned and used in the next iteration. This is a pseudo random number sequence[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_number_generator]. One of the things that is useful about a pseudo random number sequence is that it is deterministic - if you start with the same seed, you will get the same random numbers. Thus, when you use the seed someone has provided, you will get the same world generated. --[[User:Shagie|Shagie]] 17:26, 29 February 2008 (EST)

[[Image:Pocket example.png]] 
With v0.27.176.38c, in world generation you can now select the size of the world. For example - a pocket world (above) - thats it, thats the whole thing. --[[User:Shagie|Shagie]] 17:26, 29 February 2008 (EST)
:On the topic of updating this, I've gone through and done so. We might need a new page for all the advanced options, though. [[User:Masterful|Masterful]] 03:26, 15 July 2008 (EST)
:Yeh this page needs some updating for v0.27.176.38c. What seed did you use to generate that Shagie? All pocket worlds I generate have 10,000's of rejects and I give up. [[User:Yvain|Yvain]] 03:07, 21 March 2008 (EDT)
::Hmm seems some options I changed meant I couldn't generate pocket worlds. It worked fine with a fresh copy so I'll have to check what exact changes I had made which prevented it. [[User:Yvain|Yvain]] 03:52, 21 March 2008 (EDT)

== What do they mean ==

What do the options mean specifically? How does percentage of beasts dead before stoppage effect my game world, how does changing the elevation by 1 or 10 or 100 effect the generation process. What do I do to get more rivers or less mountains. Something more detailed than taking a dictionary to a screen would be helpful. Consider that new gamers who know nothing about anything related except Tolkien might be looking at this and trying to figure it out. What versions brought in what features? Etc.
Forgot me tag --[[User:Lowlandlord|Lowlandlord]] 01:37, 31 July 2008 (EDT)

== Who is Toady referencing in the interview? ==

I think there's an ever so slight possibility that he means me. I'm...not sure though, and it's not likely, but it feels nice to know there's a possibility.

At its most complex, running Dwarf Fortress is like having an ant farm. You look in, and these little bearded guys are roaming all around, each with his own agenda. It's fascinating to watch for its own sake.

TA: Somebody modded their dwarves into antmen [laughs]. I even have a few people that went as far as donating, and they don't even play. They just like to check out the stories.

I wonder...

== Disadvantages? ==
Are there disadvantages or even any effects of picking a smaller size world? what does it mean that world history is shorter? --[[User:Confused|Confused]] 02:00, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
: Smaller world means less special spots, less spots to choose on embark. Less civilization, etc. If you play in adventure mode, you will have less place to visit too. For the History... I don't know. --[[User:Karl|Karl]] 02:07, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
::Quick answer :) So.. less civ - that might influence immigrants and invaders? and you might have less dwarf civs to pick from.. --[[User:Confused|Confused]] 02:13, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Incase you can tell its a world with more volcaninc activity for all you magma overating whores. Anyways add this to the ened of your data\init\world_gen.txt. Then to create new world with parameters, then go to VULCN and it will rejecft a few 100 worlds before showing and error message. Press ignore this problem even if I end up with a legends only world! Thats all have fun with your magmas :D

Feel free to post anymore examples.

40d:Easter eggs

2009-10-03T17:22:55Z

Pugi: Undo revision 41286150 by Quietust (Talk) This easter egg does really exist (see User talk:66.188.131.11)

:''Hidden Fun Stuff redirects here. It can also refer to... well, [[glowing pit|do you really want us to spoil it for you]]?'' It is also used in the [[dev logs]] to refer to anything Toady doesn't want us to know about until we find it ourselves.

This page is a list of hidden or unexpected aspects of the game.

=== Fluctuating Subtitle ===
When [[Your first fortress|starting up the game]], on the title screen where the player first chooses what to do, the top reads:
Slaves to Armok: God of Blood
Chapter 2: Dwarf Fortress
Histories of ...
'...' will be generated each time the game is opened. Some combinations include "Histories of Avarice and Resourcefulness" and "Histories of Jealousy and Tenacity." Generally, the words will include a synonym each of "greed" and "stubbornness", which as we all know fit the hairy little blighters like a [[Cave spider silk]] [[Clothing#Articles|glove]].

=== Dwarven Daydreams ===

Some dwarves like Toads for their beauty, an obvious inside reference to [[Toady One]].

=== So What If I'm Dead? ===

Checking the [[weather]], temperature, or [[Calendar|date]] in [[Adventure Mode]] after dying will instead return a snarky message reminding you of your current medical state.

=== Bey@nd Quality?! ===

For about one frame, the word "Beyond" in the Bay 12 Games Beyond Quality intro turns into "Bey@nd". Nobody knows why.

=== Oink! ===

In the Bay 12 Games Beyond Quality intro, when the program is saying "Quality", grab the title bar and drag it around a bit. Release, and when the lines appear, you'll hear a pig sound.

=== Help Screen ===

If you press the ? on the help screen you will go to the help screen of the help screen, now press it twice more :-)

=== Intro Movie ===

No, the intro movie isn't lots of scenes that show what can be done in a fortress. If you look at every detail, you'll realise that it's an HFS in an HFS in an HFS...or something like that. At least it looks like a spoiler. (look for clues in each scene !)

=== Dungeons and Dragons ===
In the Manager (j -> m) screen, queue up a new work order. Type in "electu" for a hidden message.
