DWARF FORTRESS

<< < (11/51) > >>

Melodic:
Cheap trick to get rid of indoor miasma is to have your refuse stockpile in a room with a channel leading up to the surface.

Spike:
One of my glassmaker dwarfs was possesed, but it seems that I didn't have the materials it wanted to make an artifact, so now it's insane and will probably kill itself.  It wanted bones and "something with rough color"  the fuck does "rough color" mean?  I assumed it meant clay because the dwarf's preferences told me it liked clay, but I had no clay.

Stryc9Fuego:
I don't consider it a cheap trick to have your stinky shit in a well-ventilated area. I consider it to be good fortress design.

There's a thread in the Bay12 Forums discussing making the forges smoke, necessitating a chimney.

Melodic:
On the subject of chimneys, how the hell do you make an effective one? The best I've found, is making a 2x2 tower with up/down staircases leading to the surface, then going back and replacing all of the down staircases with a channel. This sucks because my dwarf can get stuck.

Is it possible to start the channel from the top, then have the dwarf jump through the channel to dig the next z-axis section?

Stryc9Fuego:
Unfortunately, no; Dwarves will not base-jump down a hole. about the only way to make them fall down is to find away to take the floor away while they're on it.I suppose you can try digging ramps on down your chimney sections. The same way people would strip mine a mountain off.
