Thief^: Bolded differences between the Stockpile name and Plant name

{{Quality|Superior|18:08, 27 April 2018 (UTC)}}
This is a helper page, to help setup a brewery plant input stockpile.
It has the same list as the [[df2014:Alcohol]] page, but it's ordered to make stockpile setup easier.

Thief^: /* Weapons and Size */ Fixing numbers for 42500 minsize weapons

{{quality|Exceptional|00:05, 23 November 2010 (UTC)}}{{av}}{{Buggy}}

"Weapon" can refer to either the manufactured weapons used by dwarves and other creatures for either [[combat]] or specific [[labor]]s, or natural weapons like fists, horns and [[syndrome|breath attacks]] used for creature-specific methods of combat.


=Manufactured weapons=
These weapons are constructed by dwarves or other intelligent races. There are many types of weapons, but not all may be manufactured in [[Dwarf fortress mode|Fortress Mode]]. For notes on how to create weapons see [[Metalsmith's forge]].

==Notes about manufactured weapons==
*If you find your dwarves wearing more than one weapon -- or any unwanted [[armor]], for that matter -- one way to get rid of them is to dump the weapon from their {{k|v}}-{{k|i}} inventory screen. This does not always work, as they might re-equip the item. Another option is to remove any weapons and/or shields listed on their military equip screen. This too does not always work. At least "left-handedness" seems to not pose a problem. If you cancel the work by {{k|v}}-{{k|p}} and selecting a job that needs a tool they will sometimes put it back in the pile. Example: Miners use picks, cancel their mining job and they will put the pick away AFTER you ordered it to be dumped.
*Using weapons is much more effective than unarmed combat -- an untrained swordsdwarf with an [[iron]] weapon can defeat a grand master [[wrestler]], provided neither is wearing armor.
**Larger weapons with more heft tend to do more damage. How damage is calculated is currently not fully understood, and this is an area requiring more research.
*Weapons and ammunition with the "foreign" attribute (item being rarer than Common in the entity file) must be either imported by either [[trade]]rs or [[invader]]s, or acquired from [[strange mood]]s.
*Weapons originating from strange moods can be made from almost any material: while it is never normally possible to manufacture a [[bone]] spear, for example, a fey [[bone carver]] may produce one from a single [[rainbow trout]] bone.
*Training weapons are all wooden, and all made at the [[Carpenter's workshop|carpenter's workshop]]. Training axes, spears, and short swords can be constructed in dwarf fortress mode.
*Crossbows can be made of metal, wood, and bone. Metal crossbows are made by a [[weaponsmith]] at a [[forge]], while wood and bone crossbows are made by a [[bowyer]] at a bowyer's workshop. The material of a crossbow does not affect its firing ability, only its melee damage. A dwarf's marksmanship skill is only affected by the core [[item quality|quality]] of the bow. This may be a consideration when deciding which dwarf you want outfitting your marksdwarves: a [[experience|legendary]] bowyer is a better choice than a proficient weaponsmith.

*The size for a weapon is its volume in cm<sup>3</sup>.
*Attacks of type EDGE will either slice or pierce their target, depending on the contact area and penetration depth, while BLUNT attacks tend to damage internal organs without necessarily causing significant damage to outer layers.
*The contact area represents the area of contact of the weapon, and the penetration determines how deep the attack goes (and is apparently ignored entirely for BLUNT attacks -- indicated by numbers in parentheses). Large contact areas combined with low penetration represent slashing attacks, while small contact areas with high penetration behave as piercing attacks.
*The velocity seems to adjust the amount of actual force used during the attack (otherwise based on the size of the weapon, the material from which the weapon is made, and the strength of the wielder) - for example, war hammers have a 2x velocity multiplier, presumably to model the fact that the hammer's mass is concentrated at the tip which, when combined with a long handle, permits swinging it harder than a weapon whose mass is evenly distributed (such as a sword).

===Weapons as tools===
[[hunter|Hunters]], [[wood cutter|Woodcutters]] and [[miner|Miners]] use weapons for their [[labor|work]] and if need be will also [[combat|fight]] using them. Hunters seem to be limited to [[crossbow|crossbows]] while miners and woodcutters use [[pick|picks]] and [[battle axe|axes]] respectively.

==Foreign weapons==
In fortress mode, foreign weapons can only be constructed by a dwarf experiencing a [[Strange mood|strange mood]], out of any material. They may also be acquired from other races through trade or looting. [[Elf|Elves]] construct these out of wood, while other races construct them out of metal. Many dwarf-made weapons can be made by foreign civilizations as well, the ''Used by'' column is in no way all the weapons that race can make.

Using any multigrasp weapon in a single hand (ie. with a shield in the other hand) gives you a disability to hit.

==Weapons and Size==
Weapons have a minimum size to use at all, and a minimum size to use one-handed. Adult dwarves vary in size between 33750 and 93750 (average 60000) based on their height and broadness, so not all dwarves can use all weapons. The following table shows approximately how many dwarves can use each weapon one or two handed.

*''Combat information'' is used internally by the game to determine the combat properties of weapons and armor made from this metal:
:'''Density''': Used in conjunction with other factors - heavier weapons (higher numbers) hit with more force, light weapons tend to have less penetration. Value shown here is g/cm<sup>3</sup>, which is the raw value divided by 10<sup>3</sup>
:'''Impact yield''': Used for blunt-force combat; ''higher'' is better. This is the raw value divided by 10<sup>3</sup> (i.e., kPa).
:'''Impact fracture''': Used for blunt-force combat; ''higher'' is better. This is the raw value divided by 10<sup>3</sup> (i.e., kPa).
:'''Impact elasticity''': Used for blunt-force combat; ''lower'' is better. This is the raw value.
:'''Shear yield''': Used for cutting calculations in combat; ''higher'' is better. This is the raw value divided by 10<sup>3</sup> (i.e., kPa).
:'''Shear fracture''': Used for cutting calculations in combat; ''higher'' is better. This is the raw value divided by 10<sup>3</sup> (i.e., kPa).
:'''Shear elasticity''': Used for cutting calculations in combat; ''lower'' is better. This is the raw value.

*General Term Explanations (From Wikipedia)
:'''Yield Strength''' - The stress at which material strain changes from elastic deformation to plastic deformation, causing it to deform permanently.
:'''Fracture Strength''' - The stress coordinate on the stress-strain curve at the point of rupture.

:'''Stress''' - Force per area = F/A
:'''Strain''' - Deformation of a solid due to stress = Stress/Young's Modulus

So...
:Explanations!
::'''Yield Strength''' is the amount of stress required to permanently deform (bend) a material (plastic deformation)
::'''Fracture Strength''' is the amount of stress required to permanently break (rupture) a material
::'''Elasticity''' (or ''IMPACT_STRAIN_AT_YIELD'' in RAWs) is the amount of deformation (bending) that occurs at the yield point
:Implications to Dwarf Fortress Combat
::Yield combined with Elasticity can tell what a material will do under stress (be it from a hammer, axe, or arrow)
::Higher yield means that it takes more stress to deform
::Lower elasticity means that it will deform less when stress is applied

'''Preliminary Combat Testing & Analysis'''

Adamantine and Steel take first and second place respectively, with Iron the third best material in the game. Beyond which, bronze is in a close tie with copper as to being the second worst material. As in older versions, silver continues to hold steady as the worst material available (no longer beneficial with wooden training weapons being available now) in regards to edged weaponry.
Additionally, with regards to blunt weapons almost all of the non-adamantine materials perform equally well, with a very slight edge towards steel and silver. Here is the thread with the details:

http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=53571.0

Keep in mind with how unbelievably complicated this system is nothing should be taken as word of law yet.

Cross refrencing this table with the table at the top of this section seems to indicate that low densities, high impact fractures, and high shear fractures contribute to the killing power of edged weapons.

==Arena Testing==

Testing of weapons (15 dwarfs vs 15 dwarfs combats) shows that, in v0.31.12, the best dwarven-made weapon against humanoids is the [[silver]] war hammer.
Even in 15x(steel armor+silver war hammer) versus 15x(adamantine armor+adamantine battle axe) matches, hammerdwarves won with less than 50% casualties (mostly one-strike kills). However, when the dwarves in question were without armor or only wearing leather/cloth, the result was inverted - axedwarves won with less than 50% casualties. In battles against megabeasts, 6 silver hammerdwarves were barely able to scratch a [[bronze colossus]] (attacks were glancing away) due to bronze being a better "weapon" material.

This is because silver has the highest solid density of all materials that can regularly be made into weapons by dwarves. Tests show that indeed [[gold]] and [[platinum]] (increasingly dense) do increasing amounts of damage, and that war hammers remain the tool of choice, however they can only be produced by a moody dwarf (and a very lucky one at that).

More arena tests are available in the [[Main:Military testing|Military testing]] article.

==Ammunition==

Ammunition is fired from ranged weapons like crossbows and blowguns, and is stored in ammunition [[stockpile]]s, sometimes in quivers. Ammunition may also refer to the [[stone]]s and [[ballista]] arrows fired from siege engines: For more information about these weapons, see the [[siege engine]] article.

===Notes about ammunition===

*Ammunition for foreign weapons like bows and blowguns is also considered foreign and cannot be manufactured in the fortress.

*All ammunition has the "EDGE" attack type.

*When a dwarf with bolts or arrows stuck in his/her body gets their wounds treated, the ammo will be dropped in the Hospital bed.

==Weapon-Dwarf Relationships==
Dwarves can become attached to a weapon, even a low quality weapon, which can make it difficult or impossible to get them to upgrade later.

In addition, the game tracks kills not only by entity but also by weapon. A weapon that has racked up enough kills might be named by its wielder. When this happens the game will pause and bring up a dialog box, similar to discovering a new cavern. Once named, the weapon will appear in the artifact list, albeit in blue.

=Natural weapons=

Natural weapons are incredibly varied, but may be divided into a few basic types. Every creature in the game has natural weapons of one sort or another. (Even if one mods the attacks out, the creature will '''push''' as an attack.) A short description of natural weapons and damage considerations follows.

==Types of natural weapons==

===Striking natural weapons===
Every creature has basic natural weapons, most commonly biting and kicking. Damage done by these weapons depends greatly on the respective size of the combatants and the strength and striking/kicking/biting skill of the attacker.

Natural weapons in this category can include but are not limited to punching with the '''fists''', biting with the '''teeth''', goring with the '''horns''', scratching with the '''nails''', and '''kicking'''.

===Other natural weapons===
The various [[syndrome]] delivery methods fall under this category, including breath weapons, poisonous blood, area dusting, venomous bites, and so on. With the exception of some breath weapons, these attacks do not rely on size for damage calculation. For more information, see the [[syndrome]] page. For specific information on breath weapons, see the [[Syndrome#Breath_attacks|breath attacks]] section of the syndrome page.

* {{Tile|X|0:1}} '''[[Immigration|Migrant]]:''' The dwarf has just arrived at your fortress and is still getting used to the place. They won't do any jobs while in this state, which doesn't last long.

* {{Tile|?|3:1}} '''No Job:''' The creature has no job and no destination. Tame animals will get this while they are being dragged to a [[restraint]], [[cage]], or [[butcher's shop]].

* {{Tile|?|4:1}} '''No Destination:''' The creature has a job, but no destination. They get this when you shut a door on their faces. Also momentarily flashes when they first get a job.

* {{Tile|-|2:1}}{{Tile|\|2:1}}{{Tile|||2:1}}{{Tile|/|2:1}}{{Tile|-|2:1}} '''Multiple Creatures:''' More than one creature is on the same tile. The game will switch between them using this animated line.

* {{Tile|↓|6:0}} '''Hungry:''' The dwarf needs [[food]] badly.

* {{Tile|↓|1:1}} '''Thirsty:''' The dwarf needs [[water]] or [[alcohol]].

* {{Tile|↓|7:0}} '''Drowsy:''' The dwarf wants [[sleep]].

* {{Tile|↓|4:1}} '''Unhappy:''' The dwarf's unhappy thoughts are piling up. Not a good sign for a fortress, as this can lead to tantrums.

* {{Tile|Z|0:1}} '''[[Sleep|Sleeping]]:''' This dwarf is not going to be productive, and the object it is sleeping on will have an effect on its mood. A dwarf is considered unconscious while sleeping and has all the effects thereof, but not the unconsciousness icon.

* {{Tile|!|7:1}} '''[[Strange mood|Fey Mood]]:''' The dwarf will find a workshop, get materials, and make an artifact. After this, it will have a skill increase to [[Legendary]], along with attributes. If it cannot find the required workshop or items, it will wait until it goes insane, berserk, or melancholy.

* {{Tile|!|5:1}} '''Possessed:''' The same thing as [[Strange mood|fey Mood]], but without the skill increase.

* {{Tile|!|7:0}} '''Secretive Mood:''' The same thing as [[Strange mood|fey Mood]], though with more cryptic clues.

* {{Tile|!|5:0}} '''Fell Mood:''' Similar to a [[Strange mood|fey Mood]], except the individual will murder a fellow dwarf and use the corpse to make the artifact.

* {{Tile|!|0:1}} '''Macabre Mood:''' Similar to a fell mood, though not requiring the death of a dwarf.

* {{Tile|!|6:1}} '''[[Tantrum]]:''' The dwarf has finally had enough, and has lost his temper. The dwarf stops all work, and proceeds to throw things, destroy buildings and hurt other dwarves. This is not a permanent state, but extremely annoyed dwarves will tantrum repeatedly.

* {{Tile|!|3:1}} '''[[Insanity|Insane]]:''' Dwarves may eventually go crazy and babble, leading to this icon (usually because they couldn't complete an artifact). Dwarf moves erratically around while randomly removing and dropping articles of clothing until he/she dies of hunger or thirst. A form of madness.

* {{Tile|!|1:1}} '''[[Insanity|Melancholy]]:''' When a dwarf has sad thoughts for a very long time, it may lead to this. Dwarf sulks around very slowly until he/she dies of hunger or thirst, or tries to kill himself by drowning or chasm. A form of madness.

* {{Tile|!|4:1}} '''[[Insanity|Berserk]]:''' If a dwarf is extremely unhappy for too long, he/she may snap and enter a homicidal rage, attacking everyone in sight. A form of madness, and extremely dangerous.

* {{Tile|!|4:0}} '''Enraged:''' When a creature is faced with insurmountable odds, particularly after another creature nearby is killed, it may become angry and attack with rushes and powerful hits.

* {{Tile|!|2:1}} '''Martial Trance:''' When a single dwarf is being attacked by more than one enemy, it will fall into this state and supposedly focus better. [[Main:Toady One|Toady One]] has [http://www.bay12games.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=12&t=000037 said]: ''You have to be a dwarf [to be able to get the martial trance]. It improves all kinds of combat rolls and modifiers (but no direct damage bonus -- 'enraged' does that).'' Dwarves in this state will seek fights with enemy or neutral creatures.

* {{Tile|☺|4:5:1}} '''[[Wrestling]]:''' It is grabbing, or attempting to grab, another creature in a fight. Could also be holding on to a part of the opponent as well.

* {{Tile|+|6:7:1}} '''Minor [[Wound|Injury]]:''' Any wound that leaves only one hand in working condition, including severings.

* {{Tile|+|4:7:1}} '''Major [[Wound|Injury]]:''' Loss of the use of a leg, both arms, or a fatal injury to a vital organ that hasn't killed the dwarf yet. Yellow or worse damage to any of the brain, throat, heart, guts, or both lungs are all mortal wounds. Yellow or worse damage to one lung is typically not fatal, but this status flag will remain on the dwarf permanently as he goes about his day.

* {{Tile|☼|3:1}} '''[[Combat#Paralysis|Paralyzed]]:''' The creature cannot move. Caused by poison or severe brain damage.

* {{Tile|X|3:1}} '''Stunned:''' Dwarves can be stunned because of pain, and may lead to unconsciousness. Cave spider bites also cause periodic stunning. May also occur from a fall, usually from a dodge or a [[cave-in]], or as a result of minor [[cave adaptation]].

* {{Tile|X|2:1}} '''Nausea:''' Can be caused by [[cave adaptation]], and will cause [[vomit]], or during combat, when one spears another through the vital organs in the abdomen.

* {{Tile|X|7:0}} '''Winded:''' When a dwarf is out of breath, they are winded. This can be caused by being underwater, having a lung pierced or throat torn out.

* {{Tile|X|7:1}} '''Unconscious:''' A bad sign for a dwarf, since (other than sleeping) they usually become unconscious in a fight and will die shortly afterwards. Sometimes, pain or permanent spinal injuries will make a dwarf periodically fall unconscious. Regardless of the cause, any creature that falls unconscious on a [[trap]] will trigger it, with messy and/or humorous results.

* {{Tile|X|4:7:1}} '''Fevered:''' This dwarf has a fever. Exact results of a fever are unknown, but may indicate other health problems.

In addition to the above symbols, creatures [[hauling]] an object will alternate between their usual icon and the icon of the object they are carrying.

==Non-flashing==

* {{Tile|☺|4:6:1}} '''Prone:''' The creature is lying on the ground. Several prone creatures can be in the same tile; therefore, in tight corridors, dwarves will be constantly lying down and standing so they can go through. Also happens in combat. Prone creatures move and work significantly slower. Make sure to remember to {{k|s}}tand up if this happens in Adventure Mode.

* {{Tile|☺|4:3:1}} '''Airborne:''' The creature has been thrown by a wrestling move, flung into the air by a raising drawbridge, fallen off a cliff, gone over a waterfall or gotten smashed by a blunt weapon and is flying backwards from the force of the blow. It's impossible to {{k|v}}iew a creature in this state (though it is possible to loo{{k|k}}) – but you'd probably be better off covering your eyes, anyway. Creatures that are flying under their own power are displayed normally.

* {{Tile|☺|1:1:1}} '''Under Water:''' The creature is [[Swimmer#Drowning|drowning]]. Large [[fish]] normally appear this way, except when in shallow water (in which case they are air-drowning).

* {{Tile|☺|4:7:1}} '''Webbed:''' The icon that shows when a creature walks into a [[giant cave spider]]'s web.

* {{Tile|☺|0:5:0}} '''Last seen:''' Indicates a hidden tile that contained a creature when last visible. Adventure mode only.

* {{Tile|☺|4:4:1}} '''Dead:''' This dwarf is gone, far away from the horrors of the puppy-cooking, noble-drowning fortress. Legendary dwarves and foes will still alternate colors after death.

v0.34:Weapon

2012-02-27T16:13:02Z

Thief^: Added information about one/two-handed wielding of weapons from the forums

{{quality|Exceptional|00:05, 23 November 2010 (UTC)}}{{av}}{{Buggy}}

"Weapon" can refer to either the manufactured weapons used by dwarves and other creatures for either [[combat]] or specific [[labor]]s, or natural weapons like fists, horns and [[syndrome|breath attacks]] used for creature-specific methods of combat.


=Manufactured weapons=
These weapons are constructed by dwarves or other intelligent races. There are many types of weapons, but not all may be manufactured in [[Dwarf fortress mode|Fortress Mode]]. For notes on how to create weapons see [[Metalsmith's forge]].

==Notes about manufactured weapons==
*If you find your dwarves wearing more than one weapon -- or any unwanted [[armor]], for that matter -- one way to get rid of them is to dump the weapon from their {{k|v}}-{{k|i}} inventory screen. This does not always work, as they might re-equip the item. Another option is to remove any weapons and/or shields listed on their military equip screen. This too does not always work. At least "left-handedness" seems to not pose a problem. If you cancel the work by {{k|v}}-{{k|p}} and selecting a job that needs a tool they will sometimes put it back in the pile. Example: Miners use picks, cancel their mining job and they will put the pick away AFTER you ordered it to be dumped.
*Using weapons is much more effective than unarmed combat -- an untrained swordsdwarf with an [[iron]] weapon can defeat a grand master [[wrestler]], provided neither is wearing armor.
**Larger weapons with more heft tend to do more damage. How damage is calculated is currently not fully understood, and this is an area requiring more research.
*Weapons and ammunition with the "foreign" attribute (item being rarer than Common in the entity file) must be either imported by either [[trade]]rs or [[invader]]s, or acquired from [[strange mood]]s.
*Weapons originating from strange moods can be made from almost any material: while it is never normally possible to manufacture a [[bone]] spear, for example, a fey [[bone carver]] may produce one from a single [[rainbow trout]] bone.
*Training weapons are all wooden, and all made at the [[Carpenter's workshop|carpenter's workshop]]. <s>All</s> Battle axe, Spear, and Short Sword training weapons can be constructed in dwarf fortress mode.
*Crossbows can be made of metal, wood, and bone. Metal crossbows are made by a [[weaponsmith]] at a [[forge]], while wood and bone crossbows are made by a [[bowyer]] at a bowyer's workshop. The material of a crossbow does not affect its firing ability, only its melee damage. A dwarf's marksmanship skill is only affected by the core [[item quality|quality]] of the bow. This may be a consideration when deciding which dwarf you want outfitting your marksdwarves: a [[experience|legendary]] bowyer is a better choice than a proficient weaponsmith.

*The size for a weapon is its volume in cm<sup>3</sup>.
*Attacks of type EDGE will either slice or pierce their target, depending on the contact area and penetration depth, while BLUNT attacks tend to damage internal organs without necessarily causing significant damage to outer layers.
*The contact area represents the area of contact of the weapon, and the penetration determines how deep the attack goes (and is apparently ignored entirely for BLUNT attacks -- indicated by numbers in parentheses). Large contact areas combined with low penetration represent slashing attacks, while small contact areas with high penetration behave as piercing attacks.
*The velocity seems to adjust the amount of actual force used during the attack (otherwise based on the size of the weapon, the material from which the weapon is made, and the strength of the wielder) - for example, war hammers have a 2x velocity multiplier, presumably to model the fact that the hammer's mass is concentrated at the tip which, when combined with a long handle, permits swinging it harder than a weapon whose mass is evenly distributed (such as a sword).

===Weapons as tools===
[[hunter|Hunters]], [[wood cutter|Woodcutters]] and [[miner|Miners]] use weapons for their [[labor|work]] and if need be will also [[combat|fight]] using them. Hunters seem to be limited to [[crossbow|crossbows]] while miners and woodcutters use [[pick|picks]] and [[battle axe|axes]] respectively.

==Foreign weapons==
In fortress mode, foreign weapons can only be constructed by a dwarf experiencing a [[Strange mood|strange mood]], out of any material. They may also be acquired from other races through trade or looting. [[Elf|Elves]] construct these out of wood, while other races construct them out of metal. Many dwarf-made weapons can be made by foreign civilizations as well, the ''Used by'' column is in no way all the weapons that race can make.

Using any multigrasp weapon in a single hand (ie. with a shield in the other hand) gives you a disability to hit.

==Weapons and Size==
Weapons have a minimum size to use at all, and a minimum size to use one-handed. Adult dwarves vary in size between 33750 and 93750 (average 60000) based on their height and broadness, so not all dwarves can use all weapons. The following table shows approximately how many dwarves can use each weapon one or two handed.

*''Combat information'' is used internally by the game to determine the combat properties of weapons and armor made from this metal:
:'''Density''': Used in conjunction with other factors - heavier weapons (higher numbers) hit with more force, light weapons tend to have less penetration. Value shown here is g/cm<sup>3</sup>, which is the raw value divided by 10<sup>3</sup>
:'''Impact yield''': Used for blunt-force combat; ''higher'' is better. This is the raw value divided by 10<sup>3</sup> (i.e., kPa).
:'''Impact fracture''': Used for blunt-force combat; ''higher'' is better. This is the raw value divided by 10<sup>3</sup> (i.e., kPa).
:'''Impact elasticity''': Used for blunt-force combat; ''lower'' is better. This is the raw value.
:'''Shear yield''': Used for cutting calculations in combat; ''higher'' is better. This is the raw value divided by 10<sup>3</sup> (i.e., kPa).
:'''Shear fracture''': Used for cutting calculations in combat; ''higher'' is better. This is the raw value divided by 10<sup>3</sup> (i.e., kPa).
:'''Shear elasticity''': Used for cutting calculations in combat; ''lower'' is better. This is the raw value.

*General Term Explanations (From Wikipedia)
:'''Yield Strength''' - The stress at which material strain changes from elastic deformation to plastic deformation, causing it to deform permanently.
:'''Fracture Strength''' - The stress coordinate on the stress-strain curve at the point of rupture.

:'''Stress''' - Force per area = F/A
:'''Strain''' - Deformation of a solid due to stress = Stress/Young's Modulus

So...
:Explanations!
::'''Yield Strength''' is the amount of stress required to permanently deform (bend) a material (plastic deformation)
::'''Fracture Strength''' is the amount of stress required to permanently break (rupture) a material
::'''Elasticity''' (or ''IMPACT_STRAIN_AT_YIELD'' in RAWs) is the amount of deformation (bending) that occurs at the yield point
:Implications to Dwarf Fortress Combat
::Yield combined with Elasticity can tell what a material will do under stress (be it from a hammer, axe, or arrow)
::Higher yield means that it takes more stress to deform
::Lower elasticity means that it will deform less when stress is applied

'''Preliminary Combat Testing & Analysis'''

Adamantine and Steel take first and second place respectively, with Iron the third best material in the game. Beyond which, bronze is in a close tie with copper as to being the second worst material. As in older versions, silver continues to hold steady as the worst material available (no longer beneficial with wooden training weapons being available now) in regards to edged weaponry.
Additionally, with regards to blunt weapons almost all of the non-adamantine materials perform equally well, with a very slight edge towards steel and silver. Here is the thread with the details:

http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=53571.0

Keep in mind with how unbelievably complicated this system is nothing should be taken as word of law yet.

Cross refrencing this table with the table at the top of this section seems to indicate that low densities, high impact fractures, and high shear fractures contribute to the killing power of edged weapons.

==Arena Testing==

Testing of weapons (15 dwarfs vs 15 dwarfs combats) shows that, in v0.31.12, the best dwarven-made weapon against humanoids is the [[silver]] war hammer.
Even in 15x(steel armor+silver war hammer) versus 15x(adamantine armor+adamantine battle axe) matches, hammerdwarves won with less than 50% casualties (mostly one-strike kills). However, when the dwarves in question were without armor or only wearing leather/cloth, the result was inverted - axedwarves won with less than 50% casualties. In battles against megabeasts, 6 silver hammerdwarves were barely able to scratch a [[bronze colossus]] (attacks were glancing away) due to bronze being a better "weapon" material.

This is because silver has the highest solid density of all materials that can regularly be made into weapons by dwarves. Tests show that indeed [[gold]] and [[platinum]] (increasingly dense) do increasing amounts of damage, and that war hammers remain the tool of choice, however they can only be produced by a moody dwarf (and a very lucky one at that).

More arena tests are available in the [[Main:Military testing|Military testing]] article.

==Ammunition==

Ammunition is fired from ranged weapons like crossbows and blowguns, and is stored in ammunition [[stockpile]]s, sometimes in quivers. Ammunition may also refer to the [[stone]]s and [[ballista]] arrows fired from siege engines: For more information about these weapons, see the [[siege engine]] article.

===Notes about ammunition===

*Ammunition for foreign weapons like bows and blowguns is also considered foreign and cannot be manufactured in the fortress.

*All ammunition has the "EDGE" attack type.

==Weapon-Dwarf Relationships==
Dwarves can become attached to a weapon, even a low quality weapon, which can make it difficult or impossible to get them to upgrade later.

In addition, the game tracks kills not only by entity but also by weapon. A weapon that has racked up enough kills might be named by its wielder. When this happens the game will pause and bring up a dialog box, similar to discovering a new cavern. Once named, the weapon will appear in the artifact list, albeit in blue.

=Natural weapons=

Natural weapons are incredibly varied, but may be divided into a few basic types. Every creature in the game has natural weapons of one sort or another. (Even if one mods the attacks out, the creature will '''push''' as an attack.) A short description of natural weapons and damage considerations follows.

==Types of natural weapons==

===Striking natural weapons===
Every creature has basic natural weapons, most commonly biting and kicking. Damage done by these weapons depends greatly on the respective size of the combatants and the strength and striking/kicking/biting skill of the attacker.

Natural weapons in this category can include but are not limited to punching with the '''fists''', biting with the '''teeth''', goring with the '''horns''', scratching with the '''nails''', and '''kicking'''.

===Other natural weapons===
The various [[syndrome]] delivery methods fall under this category, including breath weapons, poisonous blood, area dusting, venomous bites, and so on. With the exception of some breath weapons, these attacks do not rely on size for damage calculation. For more information, see the [[syndrome]] page. For specific information on breath weapons, see the [[Syndrome#Breath_attacks|breath attacks]] section of the syndrome page.

v0.31:Magma-safe

2011-04-15T10:23:02Z

Thief^: Escape equals symbols so that they actually show up

{{quality|Exceptional|10:15, 12 August 2010 (UTC)}}{{av}}

'''Magma-safe materials''' are materials which will not melt, burn or evaporate when in close contact with {{l|magma}}. Most frequently, this comes into play when using {{l|floodgate}}s operated by {{l|mechanism}}s.

In order to construct mechanisms from a magma-safe stone, simply ensure that they are the closest available stone to your {{l|mechanic}}, ideally by placing a restricted {{l|stockpile}} around your {{l|mechanic's workshop}}. {{L|Burrow}}s can also be of assistance here, as dwarves will not attempt to pick up stone out side of their burrow assignments. However, if you have an active metalworking industry and have access to {{L|iron}} or {{L|steel}}, constructing {{L|metal}} mechanisms is much more straightforward.

When linking a trigger to an object, the ''first'' mechanism selected is attached to the object, and the ''second'' is attached to the trigger. Unless the trigger itself will be submerged in magma (as could be the case with a {{l|pressure plate}}), only the first mechanism (attached to the object that will be submerged) need be magma-safe. If you do not have any magma-safe stones available, you can also work around floodgate-based flow control by using {{l|screw pump}}s to pump the magma over {{l|wall}}-barriers, or using water to form {{l|obsidian}} to plug flows and channel through them to reopen them (necessity and invention and all that).

Constructions that resist magma are:

* Constructions ({{l|Wall}}, {{l|Floor}}, {{l|Ramp}}, and {{l|Stairs}}) of any material can never melt or burn - there is nothing wrong with a {{l|wood}}en magma reservoir. Natural (but not constructed) {{l|ice}} walls/floors/ramps/stairs may melt however.
* {{l|Fortification}}s will allow the passage of {{l|magma}}, but not the assorted magma creatures. Fire snakes are vermin, so they can spawn anywhere near the magma. They are not affected by fortifications, grates, or even solid walls. Also, there is a bug with fluids which may sometimes let magma (and water) push living things through barriers such as fortifications, bars and grates. {{l|Pump}}s are a positive defense, but can change the dynamics of fluid {{l|pressure}}.
* If not submerged (that is, not opened to let magma flow over/past/around them), {{l|door}}s, {{l|floodgate}}s, and raised {{l|bridge}}s (provided that there is no magma on the space the bridge would occupy when lowered) of non-magma-safe stone or metal are safe. So long as they are just in contact with magma, only acting as a passive "wall", they are fine. If opened, they will melt.
** Raised drawbridges have a notable exception, in that allowing magma to flow over the center of the area that the bridge would normally occupy when lowered ''will'' cause the bridge's components to heat up and potentially melt.
* A {{L|pump}} made with magma-safe metal pipes and screws and with magma-safe metal or stone blocks is fully magma-safe.
* A {{L|pump}} made with pipes and screws that are glass or any type of metal{{Verify}}, and blocks that are glass, or any type of metal{{Verify}}, is safe as long as no magma ever occupies the passable tile of the pump.
* {{L|Pump}}s made with {{L|wood}}en components will burst into flames the instant they are turned on.
* {{L|Pump}}s made with non-magma-safe stone blocks have been reported to melt after prolonged operation.

=== Glass ===
{{L|Glass}} behaves oddly in regards to magma. All types of glass are technically magma safe, based on a melting point of 13600 (the same as that of bauxite); however, small glass objects (such as {{L|instrument}}s) seem to be instantly destroyed if dropped in magma{{verify}}. So glass {{L|statue}}s, {{L|screw pump}}s, and {{L|floodgate}}s are all fine when submerged in magma.

Glass barriers still require magma-proof mechanisms to operate without deconstructing.

== Game calculations ==
In the game, magma's temperature is exactly 12,000 °{{l|Temperature scale|U}}, which is equivalent to 2,032°F, or about 1,111°C.

The chance of striking a magma-safe stone is roughly around 32%, not including the natural abundance of certain stone. It is important to note whether or not your fortress may already have access to magma-safe resources before attempting to deliberately find some.

==Magma-safe material==

The following materials will not melt when submerged in magma. Although true for any item/construction, it's worth specifically mentioning that this includes {{L|door}}s, {{L|floor hatch}}es, {{L|floodgate}}s, {{L|bridge}}s, {{L|screw pump}}s, and {{L|mechanism}}s.

'''Notes:'''
:1. Each stone is one of 16 {{L|color scheme|colors}} in the game. Different un-mined stone of the same color have a different symbol to distinguish between them. Once mined, the individual stones themselves can sometimes look identical if the color is the same. Use {{k|k}} to loo{{k|k}} at items or the terrain for specific information.
:2. '''°U''' = degrees in [[Urist]], the measure of temperature within the Dwarf Fortress world. As far as is known, there is no functional difference between a material that melts at 12,005°U or 55,000°U - they are both equally "magma safe".
:3. There are three iron ores in the game (four if you count {{L|goblin|goblinite}}). Of these, only {{l|hematite}} and {{L|magnetite}} are magma safe.
:4. Sphalerite has ''no'' melting point, but '''boils''' at 12,133°U - further research is necessary in this context - use at your own risk for the time being. This is accurate for the actual mineral, which sublimes at this temperature rather than having a liquid state, but how it behaves in Dwarf Fortress may be unclear.
:5. Nether-cap logs are naturally cold at 10000°U or 0°C, so it isn't affected by magma's heat. Full magma-safety still has to be confirmed.

''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.

=== Anikki ===

|author=[[User:Anikki|Anikki]]
|dated=2008-7-27
|size=8×8
|resolution=640×200 native.
|comments=Based on the original IBM CGA Character set with a lot of tweaks. The characters remain as descriptive yet universal as possible. I chose the CGA set because it is in my opinion the square set with the best readability. This set is for those who like the basic ASCII look where every pixel has meaning or (multiple meanings).

There is also an upscaled [[#Anikki_2|16x16 version]] of this set available for fullscreen use below.

|comments=Much like [http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Tileset_repository#Hanuman Hanuman's] conversion, this is based on the default curses_640x300 tileset, converted to 12x12. There are no significant modifications to the tiles, smoothing, etc - just some cosmetic changes mostly to take advantage of 4 extra horizontal pixels. For people who like the original tileset's look and size but want a square version of it.

|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.

|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.

|comments=Built from scratch, this ASCII tileset is made with two common 16:10 resolutions in mind. The odd tile size fills the above resolutions without artifacts and it gives an advantage in design, making for sharp features and equal spacing between characters. The manual anti-aliasing gives the set a nice and clean look. Transparent PNG support is needed for this one.

== 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!'''

|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]].

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:249:1:0:0] for a more natural look.

Update June 11, 2010: Updated to work with the 31.xx versions of Mike Mayday's set. It will probably not look right using it with vanilla Dwarf Fortress.

|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.

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).

|comments=The original? IBM VGA 8x16 character set, (from http://madscientistroom.org/fpga/default-8x16-bram.html) as would be displayed on a VGA card with the 9-pixel-width disabled. Best for an 8:5 aspect ratio. The required resolution is strange, so run fullscreen with BLACK_SPACE:YES and resolution at 640x480. This rom has not yet been dumped from a real VGA card, and is coming from a secondary source, so it may be replaced later if I find the real font is different. The changed characters, in ASCII order are 'zero', 'at', 'M', 'T', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z', 'm', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'vertical bar', 'C-cedilla', 'c-cedilla', 'A-ring', 'cent', 'yen', 'E-acute', 'ae ligature', 'peseta', 'florin', 'reversed logical not', 'fractions one half-one quarter', 'selected box drawing characters', 'left-and-right blocks', 'greek alpha, gamma, pi, sigma', 'mu', 'equivalence', 'less-greater or equal', 'top-bottom half integral', 'approximately equal', 'radical root', 'small superscript n'.

Changed most text characters as well as some others to 4x4 with blackspace to avoid tiling. Most characters have been revised to be spaced out to be more distinguishable in such a small set. After seeing the dev update earlier today about increasing your view size I decided to create this small font. This has been built completely from scratch, mostly while at work today. I may be making a shaded version in the future. The first image to the right is from the Abeyverse succession game.

Since v2.0: fixed 'i' 'g', fixed Yen symbol, fixed smiley 0x01 to not have an extra line to its right, lowered the period and colon characters, fixed position of 'x'.

== 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=Based on the original IBM CGA Character set with a lot of tweaks. The characters remain as descriptive yet universal as possible. I chose the CGA set because it is in my opinion the square set with the best readability. This set is for those who like the basic ASCII look where every pixel has meaning or (multiple meanings).

There is also an upscaled [[#Anikki_2|16x16 version]] of this set available for fullscreen use below.

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.

== 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]].

|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]].

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:249:1:0:0] for a more natural look.

Update June 11, 2010: Updated to work with the 31.xx versions of Mike Mayday's set. It will probably not look right using it with vanilla Dwarf Fortress.

|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.

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.

|comments=The original? IBM VGA 8x16 character set, (from http://madscientistroom.org/fpga/default-8x16-bram.html) as would be displayed on a VGA card with the 9-pixel-width disabled. Best for an 8:5 aspect ratio. The required resolution is strange, so run fullscreen with BLACK_SPACE:YES and resolution at 640x480. This rom has not yet been dumped from a real VGA card, and is coming from a secondary source, so it may be replaced later if I find the real font is different. The changed characters, in ASCII order are 'zero', 'at', 'M', 'T', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z', 'm', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'vertical bar', 'C-cedilla', 'c-cedilla', 'A-ring', 'cent', 'yen', 'E-acute', 'ae ligature', 'peseta', 'florin', 'reversed logical not', 'fractions one half-one quarter', 'selected box drawing characters', 'left-and-right blocks', 'greek alpha, gamma, pi, sigma', 'mu', 'equivalence', 'less-greater or equal', 'top-bottom half integral', 'approximately equal', 'radical root', 'small superscript n'.

Changed most text characters as well as some others to 4x4 with blackspace to avoid tiling. Most characters have been revised to be spaced out to be more distinguishable in such a small set. After seeing the dev update earlier today about increasing your view size I decided to create this small font. This has been built completely from scratch, mostly while at work today. I may be making a shaded version in the future. The first image to the right is from the Abeyverse succession game.

Since v2.0: fixed 'i' 'g', fixed Yen symbol, fixed smiley 0x01 to not have an extra line to its right, lowered the period and colon characters, fixed position of 'x'.

Thief^: /* Tiny tilesets */

''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=Based on the original IBM CGA Character set with a lot of tweaks. The characters remain as descriptive yet universal as possible. I chose the CGA set because it is in my opinion the square set with the best readability. This set is for those who like the basic ASCII look where every pixel has meaning or (multiple meanings).

There is also an upscaled [[#Anikki_2|16x16 version]] of this set available for fullscreen use below.

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.

== 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]].

|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]].

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:249:1:0:0] for a more natural look.

Update June 11, 2010: Updated to work with the 31.xx versions of Mike Mayday's set. It will probably not look right using it with vanilla Dwarf Fortress.

|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.

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.

|comments=The original? IBM VGA 8x16 character set, (from http://madscientistroom.org/fpga/default-8x16-bram.html) as would be displayed on a VGA card with the 9-pixel-width disabled. Best for an 8:5 aspect ratio. The required resolution is strange, so run fullscreen with BLACK_SPACE:YES and resolution at 640x480. This rom has not yet been dumped from a real VGA card, and is coming from a secondary source, so it may be replaced later if I find the real font is different. The changed characters, in ASCII order are 'zero', 'at', 'M', 'T', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z', 'm', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'vertical bar', 'C-cedilla', 'c-cedilla', 'A-ring', 'cent', 'yen', 'E-acute', 'ae ligature', 'peseta', 'florin', 'reversed logical not', 'fractions one half-one quarter', 'selected box drawing characters', 'left-and-right blocks', 'greek alpha, gamma, pi, sigma', 'mu', 'equivalence', 'less-greater or equal', 'top-bottom half integral', 'approximately equal', 'radical root', 'small superscript n'.

I may be making a shaded version in the future. The first image to the right is from the Abeyverse succession game.

{{av}}
{{Quality|Exceptional}}

'''Embark''' is the moment at the very beginning of the game, before actual game play begins (but after {{L|World generation|generating a world}}), when you and your initial 7 dwarves:
# Choose a site.
# Assign starting {{L|skill|skills}} to each dwarf.
# Select an initial load of {{L|supplies|supplies and equipment}}.
# Arrive at the site with your wagon full of supplies.

= Choosing a Site =
The process of choosing a site in DF2010 is much less involved than prior versions due to the ubiquitous presence of magma, gems, and ore, but that said there are still several considerations to keep in mind, namely aquifers, ore types, wood, climate, and neighbors.
There is just ONE BIG RULE: when your home civ is too small, you will first recognize after the 2nd winter that you won't get more immigrants, which can be {{L|Fun|extremely fun}}. Your home civilization will need more than one dwarven place on the map.

[[File:Embark.jpg]]<br />
The Choose Fortress Location screen shows four separate sections, with three of them being three views of the land at three different levels of magnification: Local, Region, and World. A section of highlighted tiles in the Local view indicates the current embark location within the region. The local view constitutes a 16x16 grid of embark area tiles (each representing 48x48 tiles when you are playing the game) that is within a single region tile. The world map cannot be directly controlled, and exists only to give you the overall view of where, relative to the rest of the features of the world, the region map is focused on.

The arrow keys control the X cursor in the center "Region" view while {{K|u}}, {{K|m}}, {{K|k}}, and {{K|h}} move the embark location around within the Local view. {{K|Shift}}-{{K|u}}, {{K|m}}, {{K|k}}, and {{K|h}} will resize the embark location.

The size of the embark location directly affects how much data about a map the game will have to store in your computer's memory, the size of your save files, and correspondingly, will dramatically affect the save and load times for your map, potentially make pathfinding more resource-intensive, and may generally slow your game down. As such, smaller maps are recommended, especially for less powerful computers. Remember that each tile on your embark screen is 48x48 tiles large.

On the far right of the screen is a list of local features in the dominant biome. Individual biomes, which form at least one map-tile of your embark location, can be cycled with the {{Key|F#}}-keys; for example, an area with 3 biomes present can be cycled using {{Key|F1}}, {{Key|F2}} and {{Key|F3}}. The selected biome will be highlighted with flashing Xs on the Local Map, and the biome's information will be displayed on the right side of the screen. The list at the bottom of the biome information indicates the dominant soil/stone composition from top to bottom for the first eight layers.

== Biomes ==
<small>Main article: {{L|Biome|biome}}</small>

A '''biome''' is a biotic area with homogeneous features, characterized by distinctive {{L|plant|plants}}, {{L|creatures|animal species}} and {{L|climate|climate}}.

In the above image, the biome is "Temperate Broadleaf Forest", and the region the biome is part of is given a specific name: "The Oily Forest".

Biomes will also contain only one set of stone layers, though these usually expand beyond a single biome. Your {{L|dwarves|dwarves}} will find different resources depending on which biomes they select when starting a fort.

Biomes are important when choosing a fortress location in order to understand your {{L|surroundings|surroundings}}.

=== Climate ===
<small>Main article: {{L|climate|climate}}</small>

Climate determines the maximum temperature range of the region, which in turn impacts the severity of exposure to the outside, whether water will freeze in winter, and how quickly water evaporates.

The climate is displayed as "Temperature: Hot" in the above image.

Very hot and very cold biomes bring their own challenges which may be further compounded with overlapping features, such as a glacier being frozen for half the year, and being devoid of trees, and lacking a river. Very hot climates may see all its surface water quickly evaporate, making finding a water supply more dangerous, as underground caves filled with hostile creatures may be the only supply of water.

=== Plant Life ===
<small>Main article: {{L|Tree|trees}} and {{L|Shrub|shrubs}}</small>

Seen in the above image as "Trees: Heavily Forested" and "Other Vegetation: Thick".

Trees are useful for the {{L|wood}} they provide, and wood is a basic building material, important for being the only material that beds can be made of, and, as metal bins and barrels require three times as much of less common metal resources as wood bins and barrels do, they are preferred materials for that, as well. Wood is also a renewable source for {{L|charcoal}}, the {{L|fuel}} used in forges to make metal products in smelters or forges that are not magma-powered, and is needed to make steel even when you have magma forges. Wood is finally also useful in making {{L|potash}} for soap or fertilizing farms.

In spite of wood's many uses, it is entirely possible to play in this version without any trees in your biomes, as trees can be farmed in muddied underground areas regardless of how barren the surface is. Due to the inexpensive nature of wood, it is possible to simply embark with enough wood to last until you are ready to set up tree farming operations underground. Wood is also a common good that elves, humans, and dwarves alike will sell to you.

Shrubs can provide some quick food through the {{L|herbalism}} skill, {{L|still|brewable materials}}, and {{L|seeds}} for some very helpful above-ground {{L|Crops|crops}} which are generally only available through trading with Elves.

=== Surroundings ===
<small>Main article: {{L|surroundings}}</small>

Surroundings affect how powerful and hostile local wildlife will be, and some forms of plants are available only in specific types of surroundings.

The surroundings of the example image are listed as, "Surroundings: Calm".

Any biome can have any set of surroundings; for example a glacier could be haunted, wilderness or mirthful. However, a named region (which is a contiguous area of one category of biomes, such as forests or wetlands) will be either good, neutral, or evil.

There are two axis for surroundings: Savagery and alignment. Calm and neutral savagery are functionally identical. Savage lands are like normal lands, except they will frequently have giant or hostile humanoid versions of normal animals, for example you might have a {{L|Tigerman}} instead of "merely" a {{L|tiger}} in a savage jungle.

Good biomes are similar to neutral biomes, except have more fanciful (and generally benign) creatures like {{L|pixie}}s, {{L|fluffy wambler}}s, or {{L|unicorn}}s, and are generally no more dangerous than neutral biomes. Evil biomes are home to many dangerous creatures, often dead vegetation and even including undead versions of normal creatures, making for a far more hostile environment specifically for players who want to face a greater challenge to stay alive, especially early on. Trees might not grow in an evil area.

It is possible to start a fortress that overlaps multiple alignment types (for example good, evil, savage, and benign). Some players consider this desirable, as it provides diversity in your little corner of the world, but it also has its dangers in the form of more ferocious wildlife.

=== Layers ===
<small>Main articles: {{L|Layer}}, {{L|Ore|ore}} and {{L|Stone|stone}}</small>

At the bottom right of the biome view is the data on stone layers, displaying the top eight layers of stone or soil.

Each type of layer stone has certain kinds of ores, gems, and other minerals that will appear within that form of layer. Layers are color-coded by the type of rock they are, with brown indicating {{L|soil}} (useless for raw materials, but easy to dig through), white indicating a {{L|sedimentary layer}} (indispensable for producing {{L|steel}}), light grey indicating a {{L|metamorphic layer}} (good for gems, and may contain marble to use as {{L|flux}}) or an {{L|igneous intrusive layer}}, and dark grey indicating an {{L|igneous extrusive layer}} (which may indicate magma pools in the caverns, as well as being good for various metal ores). Igneous extrusive layers will never be found in the same biome as sedimentary layers, but it is possible to have both in the same map by embarking over two or more different biomes.

It is very difficult to produce {{L|steel}} without a {{L|sedimentary layer}}. ({{L|Steel}} makes nearly the {{L|Metal#Weapon_.26_Armor_Quality|best weapons and armor}}, and the materials are fairly easy to acquire if you have sedimentary layers.) For steel, ideally, look for a site with {{L|chalk}}, {{L|limestone}}, or {{L|dolomite}}, which are not only sedimentary stones, but {{L|flux}} stones as well. Any site showing some sedimentary stone should contain all of the necessary ingredients, however.

To forge {{L|steel}}, you will need {{L|iron}} ore, {{L|flux}} stone, and {{L|fuel}}. The three ores of {{L|iron}} (hematite, magnetite, and limonite) can only be found in sedimentary layers, with the exception of hematite, which can occasionally be found in {{L|igneous extrusive}} layers. Furthermore, four of the five {{L|flux}} stones (calcite, chalk, dolomite, and limestone) are also only found in sedimentary layers, as well as both {{L|coal}} ores (bituminous coal and lignite) for making {{L|coke}} fuel.

If you have no sedimentary layers, your only hope to make steel is with:
* hematite in {{L|igneous extrusive}} layers
* marble in {{L|metamorphic}} layers
* wood for making {{L|charcoal}} fuel
Even if you find and exploit magma for your furnaces, you'll still need the fuel in the smelting process, so you'll be cutting down two trees and burning them to make charcoal for every unit of hematite you are lucky enough to find.

=== Aquifer ===
<small>Main article: {{L|aquifer}}</small>

An aquifer is a layer of soil or stone saturated with water, and a biome may contain upwards of 3 aquifer layers (theoretically more, but such would be rare to say the least). Embarking on an aquifer brings up a warning before embark as an aquifer can significantly raise the difficulty of starting a fort. For specific tactics on working with an aquifer see the main page.

== Changing Views ==
Pressing {{K|Tab}} will cycle the presented information through a variety of different views and panels.
*Neighbors - other civilizations that are closest to your current location. Proximity increases the chance of interaction, though at present this largely means "nearby goblins are more likely to attack you." If any race is not represented on this page, it means that the civilization cannot reach you if you are in that location. Embarking on an {{l|island}}, or a location completely surrounded by mountains will make it impossible for any civilization but your own dwarven civilization to reach you, as world map travel across oceans or mountains is impossible. If not even "Dwarves" appears, it means that your home civilization is dead, and there will be no {{l|migrants}} or {{l|trade}} with your home civilization. (If this is the case, it is recommended you change to a still-existent civilization unless you want the challenge of having no support from the mountainhomes.) Races that are hostile to you are represented by a series of red "-" marks. In vanilla DF, goblins are always hostile, but humans or elves may also be at war with particular dwarven civilizations (and if you choose your starting civilization in the "Your Civilization" screen, they may not be at war with you).
*Your Civilization - indicates all Dwarven civilizations in the world. {{K|*}} and {{K|-}} will cycle through the civilizations allowing you to choose which your settlers will be embarking from. It may be worth looking at your choice of starting civilizations in {{l|Legends}} Mode before embarking, as there is much information about your civilization that is not shown directly at embark, and there is no way short of abandoning a fort to change your civilization once you have embarked. Civilization choice will affect who is at war with you, what goods are available for trade (Dwarven caravans will only have the goods in the region of the city that is trading with your fort. These will be the same goods that are available for you to purchase at embark. Metals or stones, for example, that are not available for you to purchase in the "Prepare Carefully" screen will never be available for trade with the dwarven caravan.), who your regent will be (considering {{L|Cacame Awemedinade|one might be surprised by who turns out to be one's regent}}, this might be of note, but is only viewable in Legends Mode), and if there are any surviving members of your civilization left to migrate to or trade with your fort.
*Relative Elevation - Shows the land height relative to the lowest point in the region.
*Cliff Indicator - Shows the severity of cliffs. Unless you have turned erosion off, then, with the exception of rivers that cut through mountains, even apparently very steep cliffs will still have ramps that make it perfectly accessible for any creature or even the wagons in caravans.

== Reclaiming a fortress ==

If you reclaim the site of an abandoned fortress you may see goods, materials, and corpses left from the previous effort. These items will initially be {{L|forbid|forbidden}} and you will have to {{L|reclaim}} them before your dwarves will acknowledge their existence, for example to haul them to a graveyard or refuse {{L|stockpile}}.

= Creating Your Settlers =

== Play Now! ==
You can forgo the process of assigning skills and supplies and instead select '''Play Now!''' This option will give you a selection of Dwarves with the following profiles:

Updated for 0.31.13:
* Miner: Adequate Miner
* Woodworker: Novice Carpenter, Bowyer
* Woodcutter: Novice Wood Cutter, Brewer, Cook, Grower, Herbalist, Furnace Operator, Wood Burner, Lye Maker, Potash Maker
* Stoneworker: Novice Engraver, Mason, Mechanic, Building Designer
* Jeweler: Novice Gem Cutter, Gem Setter, Wood Crafter, Stone Crafter, and Bone Crafter
* Fisherdwarf: Novice Fisherdwarf
* Fish Cleaner: Novice Fish Cleaner, Butcher, Tanner, Weaver, Clothier, and Leatherworker

One of these will be randomly flagged as Expedition Leader at the start.

From 0.31.12: The default embark value for a custom embark is 1274: 974 in pre-chosen goods and 300 unassigned. The Play Now! embark only uses 1038 points. While a Play Now! embark is no more doomed than any other embark, it is always better to Prepare Carefully once you know what you're doing with the set up of an early fort since Novice Butcher is hardly better than a Dwarf you manually flagged for the job. The only good reason is if you really want the Super Doctor, given the hazards of learning medical skills on-the-job.

Note: In 0.31.13, you no longer embark with any medical skills.

== Prepare Carefully ==
Preparing allows the player to customize their embarking party and supplies by spending a pool of points which is shared between skills and equipment, with each skill rank and equipment item having a set value. The total value of embarking is set at 1,274 points, though all but 300 of these are pre-spent on an array of basic equipment (the same equipment Play Now! uses.) It stands that one should try to maximize the value of their embark by spending all available points.

=== Skills ===
<small>Main article: {{L|Skills|skills}}</small>

The seven settlers you begin with can be assigned up to ten skill ranks picked from the entire Dwarven skill list, including military, though only a maximum of 5 ranks (giving them a rank of "Proficient") can be bought in any one skill. Skill ranks are bought from the shared pool at a cost of 5 for the first rank, 6 for the second, 7 for the third, and so on. Maxing out a skill thus costs a total of 35 points. Although this is already fairly involved, between the long skill list and the floating cost, the value of a rank is subject to further scrutiny given the early-game value, or lack thereof, of certain skills as well as the relative ease or difficulty of training ranks in a given skill. Many skills are performed just as well (or with little functional difference) by a Novice or even a Dabbler as they are by a Legendary. A Novice Furnace Operator won't produce Coke as fast as a Legendary Furnace Operator, but they will produce it fast enough to keep their neighbor smelting hematite until the cows come home.

For a more complex example, there is much overlap between what can be produced out of wood and what can be produced out of metal, but wood is plentiful in the early game (often throughout if a tree farm is established, and caravans will bring in several pages worth of wood if you request it) while metalworking can take much longer to establish, or would take several times longer to produce a given product in early game due to the multiple steps required, especially without a magma smelter. Metalworking also skills up slower than woodworking and metal products have a longer base production time than wood products.

From one point of view, the Woodworking skills would be of more immediate use in producing quick goods of higher value in the early game, especially given the high volume needed; however furniture quality is of little concern in the early game, and the high volume of value-independent goods (such as barrels which you won't be trading away on their own or using to furnish chambers) will cause your carpenter to skill up fairly quickly. Even on a strictly functional level even a Novice carpenter can produce beds, barrels, and bins fast enough to keep up with a fledgling base. Lastly, once metal production is up and running, it can be agonizingly slow if a Farmer or Peasant has to be re-assigned to learn from scratch, thus a proficient Metalsmith stands to pay off much more in time than starting with a proficient Carpenter.

=== Supplies ===

The default array of supplies covers a broad range of foodstuffs, seeds, drink, tools, and medical equipment, and is reasonable, though extra food and drink never hurt anyone.
:* 2 Copper {{l|pick}}s
:* 2 Copper battle {{l|axe}}s
:* 1 Iron {{l|anvil}}
:* 60 units alcohol (20 each of 3 random types<sup>1</sup>, 12 free barrels)
:* 6 bags containing 5x dimple cup, cave wheat, plump helmet, sweet pods, pig tail, and quarry bush {{l|seed}}s
:* 15 units of meat (one random type, 10 + 5 units in 2 barrels)
:* 15 units of fish (one random type, 10 + 5 units in 2 barrels)
:* 15 units of plump helmets (10 + 5 units in 2 barrels)
:* 5 pig tail fiber thread
:* 5 pig tail fiber cloth
:* 5 pig tail fiber bags
:* 3 pig tail fiber ropes
:* 3 wooden buckets
:* 3 wooden splints
:* 3 wooden crutches
:* 2 dogs (random sex)
:* 2 cats (random sex)
:* 1 random cow/ox/mule/horse (random sex)

Lower forest embark sites should definitely consider bringing extra logs to cover the early demand for beds, &c. Also do not overlook the value of bringing animals. Dogs in particular can provide an excellent early warning system, good fighters against kobolds and other thieves, and a healthy supply of meat and bones.

== Embark Strategies ==
The strategies below are suggestions. They are not universal, and many are even contradictory. This is because there is no one true way to play Dwarf Fortress. Some may not work for you because of unstated assumptions about priority, value, fun, or procedure. However, since Losing is Fun, it's always worth it to try something out, even if it doesn't go well.

=== Picking the Right Location ===

'''Need More Dirt (and Its Inverse)''' - three layers of soil before the stone layers begin provides a very large area that can be used to quickly carve out efficient storage rooms, as well as easy construction of large farms and tree farms without the need to flood/muddy large areas of stone. Remember, the embark screen only lists the first eight layers, and the total number of layers is highly random. More dirt does not necessarily mean less stone.

'''Flowing Water (and Its Inverse)''' - flowing water (river or stream) is a must have for the infinite power it supplies for working machinery and because underground water supplies are too dangerous to tap into. There is no guarantee of infinite water underground, you could embark on a map with completely dry caverns. However, rainier climates will always have murky pools, which with careful management can be refilled from the rain. Infinite power for working machinery can be created using a limited amount of water in a perpetual motion machine. Although, being limited in quantity, murky pools simply do not have the capacity to permanently flood your fortress, while a single mistake with an infinite source can easily do so.

=== Preparation Strategies ===

'''Free Barrels''' - many products are stored in bins, barrels, or bags and do not stack with other items even if they're in the same broad classification. Plump Helmets and Horse Meat come in separate barrels even though they're both food. Purchasing a single item of food (or increasing the number to one above the storage limit of the barrel i.e. 11, 21, 31) will also produce a free barrel for it to be stored in. As barrels have a cost of 10 to buy empty, buying a single unit of cost 2 foodstuffs gets you a value of 5. Anything above cost 2 bought for the express purpose of getting barrels would be better off just buying barrels empty or raw logs. This concept can be extended to many different goods, and for any stored good you were "going to buy anyway" you should avoid buying exactly a containerful. Do not get 20, get 21.
* Note that meat products from the same animal will store in the same barrel, thus 1 unit of Horse Meat and 1 unit of Horse Tripe will only get you one barrel, not two.

'''Cheap Bags''' - while even the cheapest bags (made from cave spider silk and low-value leather) cost 10 points each, you can instead simply bring several units of {{L|sand}} costing 1 point each, as each unit of sand will be stored in its own bag made from a randomly selected material (including giant cave spider silk and valuable creature leather).

'''Don't Really Need That''' - unless you have tailored your embark for metal production quick and early, an anvil is typically unnecessary and the 100 points you get from refunding it can be better spent on skills or additional foodstuffs (can't really have enough foodstuffs). By the time the Dwarven caravan arrives in the fall, a 100☼ iron anvil, or even a 300☼ steel anvil, should be little more than an inconvenience. This can sometimes be problematic if you are unlucky and the caravan does not bring an anvil.

'''REALLY Don't Need That''' - For players more familiar with the game. Bring no pre-constructed goods (weapons, buckets, etc.), just the materials to make them with. This requires several (3-10, though you're likely to bring way more) logs, some fire-safe stone, some bars of copper, and an anvil. Upon arrival, build a Wood Furnace and a Forge, make charcoal, then picks for the {{L|miner}}s and an axe for {{L|wood cutter}}s. Medical supplies should be unnecessary to start with, because if you need them you're screwed. You may want to bring some rope (or just thread) along though. You can start your fortress with just 124☼ worth of items (iron anvil - 100☼, 3 copper nuggets for 2 picks and an axe - 18☼, 2 logs to become coal to smelt a nugget and forge the axe - 6☼).

'''Yes, I Do Need That''' - <s>never</s> don't leave without alcohol unless you have a {{L|brewer}} and a way to gather plants early (untrained {{L|herbalist}}s designated after embarking are enough) or safe water source (preferably flowing).

=== Skill Sets ===
Here are some sample skill distribution sets. And remember, ''The value of a rank is subject to further scrutiny given the early-game value, or lack thereof''. A proficient miner is always welcomed as a valuable addition to a fortress, but just how valuable is a proficient carpenter, compared to a dabbling one? Slightly higher quality level, produced slightly faster. It may be wise to spend those points elsewhere, perhaps on a diagnostician, or noble's skill. Something not so easily trained.

'''Ashery'''
*Military: 5 armor use, 5 dodge. Possibly a mix of dodge and shield use instead of max dodge, but that's up in the air. Set to start training the moment goods are hauled inside the fort's entrance. Also does woodcutting as needed.
*Doctor/Leader: 1 appraise, 2 diagnose, 2 bone doctor, 2 surgeon, 2 wound dresser, 1 suture. Also serves as one of my primary miners and, once replacement miners come, the fort's first bookkeeper as well.
*Farmer/Cook: 4 farming, 5 cooking, 1 armorsmith. Does most of the early hauling grunt work, but eventually is restricted only to food related activities. No mining is done in order to keep armorsmithing as the highest moodable skill.
*Farmer/Brewer: 4 farming, 5 brewing, 1 armorsmith. Same as the cook.
*Weapon/Armorsmith: 5 armorsmith, 5 weaponsmith. Does a sizable amount of the early mining, but is removed from duty before the mining skill gets too high.
*Mason: 5 mason, 5 building design. Can help out with mining if necessary, but is usually busy constructing buildings or helping the farmers haul goods.
*Carpenter/Mechanic: 5 carpentry, 5 mechanic. An odd mix, but mechanisms are my primary export.

'''Tarran'''
*(every skill has five points put into it)
*2 miners/engravers (when they are not mining they are engraving)
*1 mason/carpenter (deals with all that stuff)
*1 mechanic/stonecrafter (when he is not making mechanisms he is making crafts)
*1 woodcutter/architect (when not cutting wood he is designing buildings)
*1 grower/brewer (deals with all my needs this early in the game)
*1 adequate armorsmith, weaponsmith, and metalcrafter. novice furnace operator, and wood burner (remove wood burner if you have magma)

'''Ancient Enemy'''
*Leader with all his points distributed through negotiation/bookkeeper/appraiser/etc.
*3 dwarves with proficient mining
*1 proficient grower
*1 proficient brewer
*1 proficient cook

'''Proteus'''
*Leader/Miner: 6-7 points into things important to become leader and broker (appraisal, negotiation, judge of intent, organizing and others, all at least with 1 pt), rest into mining
*Doc/Recordkeeper +at least another productive job: 1-2pts into diagnostics, 1pt in each other medical skill, 1pt in recordkeeping, rest into 1-2 jobs
*Cook: 4-5pts in cooking, 2-4pts in brewing, rest in fish cleaning and butchery
*Farmer: around 3-4pts in Growing, at least 1pt in milling, plant processing and brewing
*Crafter: Usually 5pts in stone crafting, rest in other crafting jobs (although that might change, as now bone carving has become next to worthless)
*Clothier: 2-4pts in leatherworking and clothier, rest into weaving and tanning
*Builder: Most of his points into Masonry, Engraving and Mechanics, as well as a few points into Carpenter (if no other dwarf already has pts in this job)

'''Cronus'''
*Miners/Mechanics: 2 dwarfs with max points in mining and mechanics; get the fort, then those traps, up quickly.
*Woodcutter/Carpenter: points in woodcutting and carpentry; chop during initial dig then start pumping out beds and barrels
*Farmer/Brewer: points in farming and brewing; get the wheat and helmets in and brew during the off-season. Can also serve as butcher in a pinch.
*Crafter: points dispersed into stonecrafting, bonecarving, weaving, and leatherworking.
*Mason/Architect: points into masonry and building design. Allows a focus on walls, doors, and bridges.
*Leader/Trader: spread points among appraisal, negotiator, conversationalist, consoler, and comedian.

'''Jake Grey'''
* The Hunter: Ambusher, Marksdwarf, Hammerdwarf, Shield/Armour User, Dodger. Number two source of protein and useful military backup.
* The Catering Team: One Grower/Butcher/Fish Cleaner/Tanner and one Grower/Cook/Brewer/Plant Gatherer/Thresher. Usually get the Record Keeper and Appraiser points as well, since they have probably the safest jobs, and some points in mining to get things dug faster.
* The Artisans: One Carpenter/Woodcutter/Bone Carver, one Miner/Mason/Stone Crafter/Architect and one Miner/Metalsmith/Weaponsmith/Armoursmith/Furnace Operator. The blacksmith usually gets the Organiser points, as I don't embark with an anvil.
* "Dr Fisher": Adequate Diagnostician, Wound Dresser, Suturer, Bone Doctor, Surgeon, Novice Fisherdwarf. The world's happiest on-call GP, feeds the fortress almost single-handed while waiting for someone to get injured.

v0.31:Carp

''A medium-sized fish found in lakes and streams. They are bottom-feeders and tend to gather groups.''

The '''carp''' is a fairly common variety of {{L|Fish|large fish}} that is infamous among dwarves as being a vicious killer. However, they are not as dangerous now as the stories would lead you to believe. They are still capable of dragging dwarves into water<sup>1</sup>, which if there are no ramps to allow the unlucky dwarf to escape can result in them drowning. Groups of carp are considerably more dangerous, able to inflict enough wounds to a fully-clothed dwarf for them to bleed to death, the river running with their blood.

<sup>1</sup>Actually, the stupid dwarves fall into the water trying to dodge carp attacks...

Carp may be found in anything from a river to a murky pool. While river-carp may be just as scared of your Dwarfs as the dwarves are of them (tending to swim away), carp found in a {{L|murky pool}} will often feel cornered and attack anyone who gets too close "as an act of self defense".

== Advice ==

If Carp only exist in one specific water source (say, one Murky Pool), it may be best to simply designate a non-carp-infested body of water as a water source ({{k|i}}, set area rectangle using {{k|enter}}, {{k|w}}) and then restrict access ({{k|d}}, {{k|o}}, {{k|r}}) so dwarves aren't allowed to drink/fish anywhere else.



When Carp are found in the river, one solution is to dig an artificial {{L|channel}} and place a {{L|grate}} between it and the river proper, as carp cannot swim through grates, but grates still allow water through. Placing grates over the river or channel may also protect dwarves, by stopping them falling in.

== Carp of Legend ==
In prior version of the game, carp's teeth were three times stronger than an unarmed dwarf's attacks, and so could dispatch an unarmed and unarmored dwarf (e.g. a fisherman, or a miner going for a drink) with ease.

v0.31:Trap component

2010-04-20T15:52:40Z

Thief^: Yay page

{{av}}{{elven}}
Any {{L|weapon}} in Fortress Mode can be placed into a {{L|Trap#Weapon Trap|weapon trap}}. However, there are five '''trap components''', or '''trap weapons''', that are ''specifically'' for weapons traps (and two also have additional uses). As with any weapon, a total of up to 10 of these can be put in a single weapon trap, creating a true "Indiana Jones" type of threat to any beast of any size, and potentially simply making a fine mince (or paste, depending on the weapons) of lesser creatures.
In the order they appear on the various menus, they are the '''menacing spike''', the '''serrated disc''', the '''spiked ball''', the '''enormous corkscrew''', and the '''giant axe blade'''.



All trap component weapons can be made out of {{L|metal}}s (by a {{L|weaponsmith}}) or {{L|glass}} (by a {{L|glassmaker}}), with appropriate damage. Three can also be made out of {{L|wood}} (by a {{L|carpenter}}), as noted below, which can be useful in getting some heavy weapons traps set up before you have a steady {{L|smelting}} operation going, or if you are short on metal.


Trap components are a separate sub-section of a {{L|forge}} menu, but are at the bottom of the general {{L|glass furnace}} or {{L|carpenter's workshop}} menus.

==The 5 trap weapons==
===Menacing spike===

The '''menacing spike''' can be mounted in both traditional {{L|Trap#Weapon_trap|weapon traps}} and {{L|Trap#Upright_Spear/Spike|upright spike traps}}, which act quite differently. Its small contact size and high penetration depth makes it a decent choice against enemies with impale-able internal organs.

Menacing spikes can also be made from {{L|wood}}.

===Large, serrated disc===
'''large, serrated discs''' deal large amounts of damage, and have a tendency to sever their victims' limbs. While amusing, this can create several {{L|hauling}} tasks for {{L|dwarves}} as they have to move each severed body part to a {{L|butcher's shop}} or {{L|stockpile|refuse pile}}. Large serrated discs attack three times, giving them a very high damage potential.

===Spiked ball===
The '''spiked ball''' doesn't deal a blunt attack at all, but it does do three attacks with its spikes. Like the menacing spike, it has only a small contact area, but also has a very low penetration depth.

Spiked balls can also be made from {{L|wood}}.

===Enormous corkscrew===

'''Enormous corkscrews''' can be used as components in {{L|Trap}}s as well as for {{L|screw pump}}s. As a result, the corkscrews from unneeded screw pumps can be used to make serviceable weapon traps.

The enormous corkscrew performs a small contact area deeply penetrating attack, much like the menacing spike. It is currently unknown which of these two trap components is the strongest over all.

Enormous corkscrews can also be made from 1 {{L|wood}}.

===Giant axe blade===

The '''giant axe blade''' is a very similar weapon to the large, serrated disc, but only strikes once, compared to the disc's three attacks. However, due to its larger size, its single attack is stronger than each of the large, serrated disc's. It is currently unknown which of these two trap components is the strongest over all.

==Organization==
I liked the "D for Dwarfhumor" part from the 40d Article but I think it belongs on the bottom of the page instead of the top. The format of the previous article made it look like the entire article was Dwarf Humor, when only the very top was.[[User:Kenji 03|Kenji 03]] 15:01, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

==Accuracy==
The newly added content of this page seems suspect - looking at the raws for FISH_CARP, I do not see any references to damage amounts of "1-6". Additionally, a previous test in Arena mode showed that while Carp '''do''' cause dwarves to dodge into the water, they don't inflict any significant damage, instead simply resulting in the dwarf drowning. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 15:52, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
:The whole copied/pasted section from 40d is suspect, as are many of the other references. With an admitted tinge from nostalgia, I'm hiding/editing all such references unless/until the community agrees that they are still as dangerous as before. If someone wants scary carp, they may have to play 40d - and unless carp are scary in 30.01, there's no reason to pretend they are, or ever were.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 18:15, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
::In the interest of science I have run a bunch of tests on carps vs. dwarves in the arena. Here's what I have found.
::*It's not a blood bath anymore, in that there is no clear victor
::*A skilless and naked dwarf, however, will have a very difficult time fighting off even a single carp. The dwarf's punches will bruise the carp and can tear open the flesh, while the carp's bites and tail lashes can bruise the hell out of just about every part of the dwarf, including organs, but can't do much else beyond that.
::*In my first test, the fight took so long the dwarf ended up skilling up in swimming. Once he stopped drowning he became a far better fighter. It got so bad the carp actually ran away. However, the two seemingly fought forever in the water thanks to the new material system's wonkiness.
::*My 2nd test was a more "natural" one - a fully clothed dwarf vs. a pack of carp. I decided on 4 of them. The dwarf fell into the water and tried to fight them off. He mashed open his left ear and somehow on of them mangled his arm. He ended up bleeding to death. The 3rd test produced similar results, only this one drowned. Still, the fights lasted awhile.
::*Conclusion: Carps are still dangerous, but they're dangerous in the RIGHT way. That is, they fight in packs and have an underwater advantage. Isolate them or remove their water advantage (by having your dwarf be a swimmmer) and their combat prowess quickly goes away. You know, this test has shown me that Toady's hardwork is finally paying off. [[User:SirPenguin|SirPenguin]] 18:39, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

{{av}}
The '''version number''' identifies each [[Dwarf Fortress]] release. [[Toady|Tarn Adams]] assigns it when he publishes a release. Version numbers come in two forms, the newer short form and the older long form.

=Newer short form:=
Version numbers are composed of three numbers. Each component has its own meaning:

# The first number is how many hundreds of core components have been completed.
# The second number is the total number of [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/dev.html core] components completed.
# The third number is increased by one for each bug-fix release of a version.

==Example==
v0.31.03, the 3rd bugfix release of the version of Dwarf Fortress with 31 core components complete.

Version numbers are composed of four numbers and a letter, and possibly another number after the letter. Each component has its own meaning:

# The first number is how many hundreds of core components have been completed.
# The second number is the total number of [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/dev.html core] components completed.
# The third number is the total number of required<sup>1</sup> components completed.
# The fourth number is the total number of bloat<sup>1</sup> components completed.
# The adjacent letter is increased by one alphabetically for each bug-fix release of a version.
# The number after the letter refers to openGL optimizations. These reflect no changes to the gameplay; only to top-level interface and improved performance on newer video cards.

v0.31:Version number

2010-04-16T11:02:51Z

Thief^: Fixed up version explanation diagram

{{av}}
The '''version number''' identifies each [[Dwarf Fortress]] release. [[Toady|Tarn Adams]] assigns it when he publishes a release. Version numbers come in two forms, the newer short form and the older long form.

=Newer short form:=
Version numbers are composed of three numbers. Each component has its own meaning:

# The first number is how many hundreds of core components have been completed.
# The second number is the total number of [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/dev.html core] components completed.
# The third number is increased by one for each bug-fix release of a version.

==Example==
v0.31.03, the 3rd bugfix release of the version of Dwarf Fortress with 31 core components complete.

Version numbers are composed of four numbers and a letter, and possibly another number after the letter. Each component has its own meaning:

# The first number is how many hundreds of core components have been completed.
# The second number is the total number of [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/dev.html core] components completed.
# The third number is the total number of required components completed. The page listing these is currently inaccessible.
# The fourth number is the total number of bloat components completed. The page listing these is currently inaccessible.
# The adjacent letter is increased by one alphabetically for each bug-fix release of a version.
# The number after the letter refers to openGL optimizations. These reflect no changes to the gameplay; only to top-level interface and improved performance on newer video cards.
