How -do- you capture flies, anyway? --[[User:Alfador|Alfador]] 19:13, 5 November 2007 (EST)

How do I jump off cliffs in adventure mode? --[[User:Keizo|Keizo]]
: NO NO NO!!! Jumping of cliffs will quickly result in your death. A one z-level drop will cause injury, and oftentimes Cliffs are multiple z-levels high, and plunging 14 z-levels will kill you.--[[User:Axe27|Axe27]] 01:00, 5 October 2008 (EDT)
::As of 0.28.181.40d, falling one Z-level may appear to harm you, but it really doesn't. It will stun you and leave you prone, but I've checked, it's done no damage to me. 2 layers, however, and my legs have snapped like twigs. Fortunately, as long as I'm not dead, and not in combat, I can just go to overland map, walk one square, and I'm fine again. --[[User:Smartmo|Smartmo]] 20:56, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

The [http://www.bay12games.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi forums] would probably be a better place to ask questions like these, though the movement thing would probably go well in this article. To 'catch' flies, simply be on the same tile as a swarm of them, and {{key|g}}et one as if it were an item on the ground. To jump off cliffs or other such features, hold Alt while moving, and it'll give you a choice of where you want to go in that direction. --[[User:Hesitris|Hesitris]] 06:54, 16 November 2007 (EST)

The best way to get live animals is to "L"ook/search in the square, which will dig up a multitude of small bugs. Store them in your backpack and go to town with "Spinning Live Cockroach Hits The Cougar In The Head! Its Brain Is Broken!"-ness. --[[User:DuckofDoom|DuckofDoom]] 20:19, 2 December 2007 (EST)

It mentions that you start out in the Mayor's House in a human town. Isn't that technically like the Town Hall or City Tavern, not the mayor's house. --[[User:Wahnsinniger|Wahnsinniger]] 20:57, 3 December 2007 (EST)

I think it might be a good idea to talk about making adventure mode run faster on this page. I can run a 6X6 fortress just fine, but for some reason, Adventure mode is slow as Toady's implementation of a UI. [[User:Pi|Pi]]

Might wanna add a note that it apears that drunks are fairly good at using captured weapons. Twice now I've hada drunk wield a spear with incredible skill, killing an ettin, and one time, me when i tried to take the spear back after it was lodged into a werewolf and he grabbed it.--[[User:Darkone|Darkone]] 18:52, 2 May 2008 (EDT)

Just added a note to wrestling noting that unconscious people are commonly found on beds and make terrific wrestling buddies.--[[User:Shadow archmagi|Shadow archmagi]] 14:42, 25 July 2008 (EDT)

==Starting Location/Gear==

It doesn't appear that humans start in the Mayor's house anymore, but in an inn of some sort. Additionally, my starting dwarf seemed to start in a valley with no dwarf settlement nearby. The dwarf was also lacking a wineskin. [[User:Aristoi|Aristoi]] 15:03, 4 August 2008 (EDT)
:As long as I've been playing, a good few months now, it's always been the case that I've started in the tavern/inn. My dwarf also started in a valley outside of a dwarf settlement, but near to one. Hadn't really played a as a dwarf adventurer before, so I thought nothing of it. --[[User:Zombiejustice|Zombiejustice]] 17:05, 4 August 2008 (EDT)
::Perhaps the article needs to have its wording changed then. There was no Mayor in the Inn, but I read on the forums there is a bug that causes him not to spawn sometimes. Additionally, on another Dwarf runthrough, the dwarf did have a wineskin, and I was in a similar valley, but the minimap "tracker" leads me to a wide "pit" that drops into the dwarf fortress but no door. I threw myself off and survived, but could not find an exit. Just many many empty rooms with occasional people.[[User:Aristoi|Aristoi]] 09:49, 5 August 2008 (EDT)

== Where's the party? ==

I've gone to several different towns now and have yet to find anybody listed as Drunk. Nor has anyone accepted my request to join. Do they still exist? Has my entire world gone on the wagon? --[[User:RomeoFalling|RomeoFalling]] 10:11, 23 October 2008 (EDT)

:Gain more [[experience]] first.--[[User:Maximus|Maximus]] 19:35, 15 November 2008 (EST)

::Adventurers seem to have alot of respect for those who have thrown a lot of rocks, tip-toed back and forth in the middle of the woods, and played in the surf on the beach. There's also troll zombie wrestling, a very popular sport...--[[User:Navian|Navian]] 19:48, 15 November 2008 (EST)

== How to STOP Wrestling? ==

Okay, having modded in a species with fairly fearsome attacks (Possibly too fearsome. Note to self: Scale back damage slightly) and gone running around in adventure mode, I've noticed that trying to actually use said attacks results in a lot of "you grab the wolf by the left front leg! You release your grip on the wolf's left front leg! You grab the wolf by the right front leg! You release your grip on the wolf's right front leg!" as opposed to ripping them in half or clawing them to shreds. Not knowing much about the combat preferences and such, is there a way to affect what kind of attack is performed when fighting unarmed?--[[User:Quil|Quil]] 10:02, 17 November 2008 (EST)

Pressing {{key|c}}, willll bring up combat preferences. The options are 'according to opponent', 'strike', 'charge', and 'close combat'. You want 'strike', 'close combat' is probably what it's been assuming is best 'according to opponent'. --[[User:Navian|Navian]] 16:18, 17 November 2008 (EST)

Mmm, could've sworn that I'd tried it on that setting, but I'll go back and take another look. Thanks for confirming what I suspected; that it was something related to combat preferences.--[[User:Quil|Quil]] 16:26, 17 November 2008 (EST)

== Rip Van Winkle ==

Sleeping is taking FOREVER. Any way to wake up early? [[User:SwallowedSpear|SwallowedSpear]] 16:35, 19 January 2009 (EST)
:That's a negatory, over. *crshk*. --[[User:Zchris13|Zchris13]] 22:16, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
:: Do what I do: run it in a small window and do something else while you're waiting. Sure, time away from DF is time wasted, but you could at least fire up a word processor and write angry letters you wish you could mail to your boss or something. --Count Dorku

== Diagonal Movement ==

Is there any way to move diagonally in adventure mode like the dwarves do in fortress mode? There's a cave that I really want to explore (mainly because it contains a Hydra, which I have never fought before). The tunnel underground is in such a way that the only path to the Hydra is diagonal.--[[User:Stinhad Limarezum|Stinhad Limarezum]] 08:56, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

:Use your numpad. 7,9,1 and 3 move you in the different directions.--[[User:Sickness]] 02:04, 29 April 2009 (EST)

== Holy dear lord! ==

Today I witnessed something that can only be described as a "murder cycle" The way it would go: one villager would be killed by another, that villager would be attacked by several others, those villagers would be attacked by the other villagers, and so on.... this shocks me to no end. --[[User:Smoking Gnu|Smoking Gnu]] 22:03, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

: The AI bork that would cause this seems logical (A villager commits a crime, another villager attacks it because of the committed crime, but they don't have to code to flag themselves as not comitting a crime- I might add that it's as old as time in RPGs) and Toady should be able to fix it without much trouble, or you can change the ethics in the entity raws around to prevent it. The important question is what caused a villager to attack another in the first place. --[[User:Sensei|Sensei: Last seen somewhere in the Basic Jungle of Terror]] 01:07, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

== Thirst Bug/Cheat ==

I just noticed recently, while training swimming, that you can drink water that is a body covering. Doesn't matter if the covering results from a dip in a stagnant pool, salty pool or even the ocean (my loc of choice). Once it's on your body, it's drinkable. I personally recommend "water covering (fourth toe, left foot)" as a marvelous vintage. --[[User:Smirk|Smirk]] 22:58, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

== Interacting with furniture? ==

I'm playing with a modded race (don't think that's the reason why I can't do anything) and I can't seem to open any doors or interact with furniture. The 'u' key doesn't work and when set to F1 nothing happens. Does anyone know what's happening? [[User:Ancient Thingy|Ancient Thingy]] 02:13, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

: Have you added [CAN_OPEN_DOORS]? [[User:Sickness|Sickness]] 01:02, 31 July 2009 (AEST)

== Targeting Mayorfinder ==

Is there any way to track down a mayor, short of simply wandering through the dwarf city until I get lucky or starve? --Count Dorku
:No, sorry. Bring plenty of food. [[Sickness|Sickness]]

Perhaps this page should be merged with and redirect to a general contaminants page? - [[User:Mzbundifund|Mzbundifund]] 23:52, 21 November 2007 (CST)

I agree--vomit isn't big enough to have its own page. [[User:Midna|Midna]] 13:44, 6 May 2008 (EDT)

== Mood penalty? ==

Is there any sort of mood penalty associated with vomit? I can't imagine dwarves like trodding through the stuff...
:Nope they're quite content to wade through the stuff.--[[User:Richards|Richards]] 20:48, 15 May 2008 (EDT)
::Eww. --[[User:Borgin|Borgin]] 23:47, 15 May 2008 (CST)
:::From what I read on [[thought]] page vomit can only help after it's created. Dwarves can drink vomit, though it obviously makes them unhappy. I wish DF had true fluid mechanics, not only water and magma. Vomit pump would be incredibly awesome. --[[User:Someone-else|Someone-else]] 21:30, 22 July 2008 (EDT)
::::"Help"? If I understand [[Thought]] correctly "was forced to drink vomit lately" is a negative thought. However, I'm not sure it's actually ''possible'' (at least in the current version). [[User:Kirig Stonebeard|Kirig Stonebeard]] 08:54, 26 February 2009 (EST)

You're making me devise a wicked plan that involves a vomitorium enforced sun room that creates a vomit pool, which I can then pump... I'll have to wait for the fluid mechanics but.. it'll happen --[[User:Loganis|Loganis]] 01:00, 5 December 2008 (EST)

:I believe vomit is not a liquid but a "covering", like mud, so that won't work.--[[User:Maximus|Maximus]] 12:03, 5 December 2008 (EST)
::It would work if vomit were made a fluid as Someone-else suggested, but AFAIK there's no reason to think Toady plans to institute this. It would be... interesting, though. I'll sign the petition if it includes blood! [[User:Kirig Stonebeard|Kirig Stonebeard]] 08:54, 26 February 2009 (EST)

== Cleaning? ==

Will dwarves with the Cleaning job clear up puddles of vomit, or does it just go away over time?
:I'm pretty sure they don't. They certainly don't clean it off of themselves either! Eventually most of my fortress seems to end up vomit-covered, especially babies. Actually babies end up worse as their parents tend to drop them in the mud whilst vomiting and if there's been a siege recently and the reason for everyone coming out is because of the lootables on the floor there tends to be a healthy amount of blood too, just in case vomit and mud stains weren't enough. --[[User:Krythorne|Krythorne]]
::It seems to disappear from the floor at the beginning of each season. --[[User:Tachyon|Tachyon]]
:Cleaning indicates that vomit will be cleaned, but only if it's inside (it's left to disappear at the end of the season if it's outdoors). That could use verifying though. [[User:Kirig Stonebeard|Kirig Stonebeard]] 08:54, 26 February 2009 (EST)

==Escaping cave adaptation==
Once it has set in, is there any way to cure cave adaptation? Because I have dwarves building up a large tower, and they keep vomiting. It's annoying, and it's not good for the mental state of the fort. --[[User:Cypress|Cypress]] 17:45, 26 August 2008 (EDT)
:See [[Cave adaptation]] for info on getting it, curing it, and preventing it. [[User:Kirig Stonebeard|Kirig Stonebeard]] 08:54, 26 February 2009 (EST)

==Any effect?==
It would seem vomit doesn't have negative thought penalties, but does it have ANY negative effects (or positive, for that matter)? There's a "was forced to drink vomit lately" negative thought built into the game as mentioned above, but AFAIK it's not actually possible to drink the stuff. Are there any negatives that ''are'' instituted? If not it makes the Cleaning labor seem like kind of a waste to me (except for aesthetic purposes). [[User:Kirig Stonebeard|Kirig Stonebeard]] 08:54, 26 February 2009 (EST)

==Pumping ?==
If you were to say.. .harvest this, create a small sunlight room full of vomit.. .could it be pumped? --[[User:Loganis|Loganis]] 04:55, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
:No. At this time, vomit is a covering, not an actual liquid. [[User:Sickness|Sickness]] 19:35, 06 August 2009 (AEST)

40d:Vomit

2009-08-06T09:30:38Z

Sickness:

Under certain conditions, creatures (such as your [[dwarf|dwarves]]) will '''vomit'''. This may occur from an injury to an organ (usually the stomach, pancreas, and such), or from [[cave adaptation]]. Vomit does not seem to create an unhappy thought ("nauseated by the sun" is from cave adaptation).

A [[puddle]] of vomit is represented by the same character as water (a double tilde: ≈) but is green rather than blue. Another object on top of a puddle of vomit will appear normally but on a green background. If vomit and [[blood]] puddles exist on the same tile, its [[color]] will be brown. Walking through vomit will not affect a dwarf's mood.

Vomit will disappear at the beginning of each season.

It can also be used as a weapon in adventurer mode, much to the dismay of your enemies.

Twice now I've hada drunk wield a spear with incredible skill, killing an ettin, and one time, me when i tried to take the spear back after it was lodged into a werewolf and he grabbed it.--[[User:Darkone|Darkone]] 18:52, 2 May 2008 (EDT)

Just added a note to wrestling noting that unconscious people are commonly found on beds and make terrific wrestling buddies.--[[User:Shadow archmagi|Shadow archmagi]] 14:42, 25 July 2008 (EDT)

==Starting Location/Gear==

It doesn't appear that humans start in the Mayor's house anymore, but in an inn of some sort. Additionally, my starting dwarf seemed to start in a valley with no dwarf settlement nearby. The dwarf was also lacking a wineskin. [[User:Aristoi|Aristoi]] 15:03, 4 August 2008 (EDT)
:As long as I've been playing, a good few months now, it's always been the case that I've started in the tavern/inn. My dwarf also started in a valley outside of a dwarf settlement, but near to one. Hadn't really played a as a dwarf adventurer before, so I thought nothing of it. --[[User:Zombiejustice|Zombiejustice]] 17:05, 4 August 2008 (EDT)
::Perhaps the article needs to have its wording changed then. There was no Mayor in the Inn, but I read on the forums there is a bug that causes him not to spawn sometimes. Additionally, on another Dwarf runthrough, the dwarf did have a wineskin, and I was in a similar valley, but the minimap "tracker" leads me to a wide "pit" that drops into the dwarf fortress but no door. I threw myself off and survived, but could not find an exit. Just many many empty rooms with occasional people.[[User:Aristoi|Aristoi]] 09:49, 5 August 2008 (EDT)

== Where's the party? ==

I've gone to several different towns now and have yet to find anybody listed as Drunk. Nor has anyone accepted my request to join. Do they still exist? Has my entire world gone on the wagon? --[[User:RomeoFalling|RomeoFalling]] 10:11, 23 October 2008 (EDT)

::Adventurers seem to have alot of respect for those who have thrown a lot of rocks, tip-toed back and forth in the middle of the woods, and played in the surf on the beach. There's also troll zombie wrestling, a very popular sport...--[[User:Navian|Navian]] 19:48, 15 November 2008 (EST)

== How to STOP Wrestling? ==

Okay, having modded in a species with fairly fearsome attacks (Possibly too fearsome. Note to self: Scale back damage slightly) and gone running around in adventure mode, I've noticed that trying to actually use said attacks results in a lot of "you grab the wolf by the left front leg! You release your grip on the wolf's left front leg! You grab the wolf by the right front leg! You release your grip on the wolf's right front leg!" as opposed to ripping them in half or clawing them to shreds. Not knowing much about the combat preferences and such, is there a way to affect what kind of attack is performed when fighting unarmed?--[[User:Quil|Quil]] 10:02, 17 November 2008 (EST)

Pressing {{key|c}}, willll bring up combat preferences. The options are 'according to opponent', 'strike', 'charge', and 'close combat'. You want 'strike', 'close combat' is probably what it's been assuming is best 'according to opponent'. --[[User:Navian|Navian]] 16:18, 17 November 2008 (EST)

Mmm, could've sworn that I'd tried it on that setting, but I'll go back and take another look. Thanks for confirming what I suspected; that it was something related to combat preferences.--[[User:Quil|Quil]] 16:26, 17 November 2008 (EST)

== Rip Van Winkle ==

Sleeping is taking FOREVER. Any way to wake up early? [[User:SwallowedSpear|SwallowedSpear]] 16:35, 19 January 2009 (EST)

== Diagonal Movement ==

Is there any way to move diagonally in adventure mode like the dwarves do in fortress mode? There's a cave that I really want to explore (mainly because it contains a Hydra, which I have never fought before). The tunnel underground is in such a way that the only path to the Hydra is diagonal.--[[User:Stinhad Limarezum|Stinhad Limarezum]] 08:56, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

:Use your numpad (with caps lock on). 7,9,1 and 3 move you in the different directions.--[[User:Sickness]] 02:04, 29 April 2009 (EST)
