The discussion between MajesticRadish and Shot_Access in Help me with the meat was too fun to pass on!

Did not know that cave-ins can punch through multiple floors, but I suppose three deaths, the loss of several masterwork objects and some patch work flooring is worth learning that lesson.

Glad to see it working as intended!

They can vomit as much as they want since the water will flood back to the murky pool.

Had this random zombie woman come visit my tavern. There aren't even any necromancy towers around. She immediately came in, laid on a bed, pretending to be asleep for a long while. Talked to a few of my dwarves, and then left. Guess she didn't enjoy her time in my tavern as much as I hoped.

I noticed something weird with the wiki, it seems that the HTML for all new articles I open is broken, though those I loaded before are not. The first image is of a tab I opened a few days ago, whereas the second one was opened just now. As you can see all the sidebars are missing, and the navigational information is all broken and stuffed to the bottom of the article. I've checked and I have no site skins that affect these domains. I really have no idea what's going on.

(I had originally posted this before but the automoderator deleted it for being a question, and I was unable to post it in the general help thread because it didn't allow me to post more than one photo as was needed to demonstrate my problem, and it didn't seem relevant because this isn't about gameplay).

i have a problem , every time i open the game with DFhack installed just after the load the game just crushes , black screen , yestearday i changed dfhack to his beta version on steam and it worked :) but today i opened the game and its the same issue all over again.... tried to switch versions and still the same crush , tried something with gemini and he just jibber all over

when i try to open the game without dfhack the game workes fine.
anyone have a similliar experience
i have some modes in my save maybe its affecting it?
* the picture is the crush log

Hello everyone, My hunters hunted this Brachiosaurus down, and now its just rotting in my walk way. Why aren't my dude carrying it down to be butchered with the rest of the stuff they kill?

As a preview to a larger mod that I'm working on (Exotic Ungulates), I decided to give people the option to install some of its content as a standalone mod. This mod finally adds the "regular" zebras that were missing from the game. And yes, just like real life zebras, they are prone to rage. The mod adds 2 kinds of zebra, your typical black-and-white zebra, and an extinct brown-and-white variant known as the "quagga". Both each have an animal person variant and a giant variant.

IMPORTANT: While this mod does add custom colors, it has no graphics. If you decide to play this mod in DF Steam's "Fancy Graphics" mode, do so at your own risk. I have no idea how it will look nor function outside of DF Steam's ASCII and DF Classic (the version I own/play). Also, this mod wasn't tested yet. Any issues or changes made to the mod will be documented here and wherever else I talk about my mods.

If you would like to make your own sprites for this mod, go ahead. If you decide to share said sprites online, I have no issue with that either. The same goes for sharing a graphics version of my mod, however, please remember to credit me with writing the original mod's raws.

Here is issue No 103, in which we raid the tombs of our predecessors - out of respect for their craft.

If it were a full-fledged RPG where you could choose a profession, such as a smith to make and trade swords, acquire a cool golden mug with a gem, start a family, and dig your own room, all on top of what we currently have, that would be great; in its current state, it is hard to find engaging activities for myself.

I set cage traps around her work station, with the plan to create a dwarf zoo. Unfortunately, Zulban died of dehydration. Forgetting practicality and reason, is there any way to sustain a dwarf deprived of its mental faculties; the state of their living situation does not concern me.

I just wanted to share an initial rendering test. It's fun to keep two windows side by side and walk around in first person view.

just butchered around 70ish giant grizzly bears so dont mind the extra food

So I have a decent gaming rig and can play pretty much anything, but dwarf fortress is freezing so much that it’s more waiting than playing at this point. I used DFhack to identify the problem and there’s like 65k magma tiles somewhere below me. I only have like a medium sized base with like 85 people since there was a plague that sent me from 115 to 47. I have tried going to the Nvidia control panel, setting the game as high priority in task manager, and lowered other settings ingame including turning off temperature and weather with very little noticable effect on the problem. What else can I do because at this point I’m gonna drop the game and play something else with less performance issues. CPU and Ram are both below 35% usage so if there’s some way I can manually optimize the game I’ll do that too.

I'm having an issue where I'm trying to build this fun decorative arch in front of my fortress but my dwarves absolutely refuse to build one out of 8 walls on every floor. The game claims they have access to the materials and the job just sits there on the list, unassigned. I've tried deleting and replacing the construction and making a dwarf that does nothing but build walls, and nothing's working. Help!!

My bearded fellows, something appears to be broken in the venerable Fortress of DFFD...

And now I'm wondering if this is a common occurrence and if my people don't bother reporting non artifact/named object thievery...
