The process of engraving [[smoothing|smoothed]] [[wall]]s and [[floor]]s increases their value further, and gives them a [[quality]] level. Engravings made with a quality of well-crafted and higher will usually be in reference to previous events. Unlike [[furniture]], engravings won't give passing dwarves happy [[thought]]s. You can examine the contents of an engraving by pressing {{k|k}}->{{k|enter}}

[[Fun]] Fact: Engraved 'natural' [[ice]] is called 'Sculpted Ice' and surprisingly, the floor cannot have any [[Quality]] rating, while the wall can.

==Process==
You can only engrave [[smoothing|smoothed]] natural stone floors and walls. Once the area has been smoothed, you may designate it to be engraved using {{k|d}}-{{k|e}}. The dwarf must have the [[engraver|Stone Detailing]] labor active. You cannot engrave [[construction|constructed]] floors or walls.

Using only highly skilled engravers will result in high-quality engravings and therefore higher room and fortress value. One way to achieve this is to have a limited number of dwarves with the Stone Detailing labour active, smooth large areas of the fortress until the dwarves are experienced and then have those same dwarves engrave.

==Toggling==
Engravings can either be obscured or not obscured. If they are not obscured, the tile used to draw the engraved wall or floor will attempt to represent the content of the engraving. If they are obscured, they will look similar to smoothed stone. Sticklers for uniformity will likely want to make their engravings uniform. There are two ways to toggle obscured/not obscured:

* [[d_init.txt]] has an entry called ENGRAVINGS_START_OBSCURED, which can be set to either YES or NO.
* While playing, one can designate engravings to be toggled ({{k|d}}->{{k|v}}).

==Removal==
Floor engravings of unsatisfactory quality can be removed by placing and removing a [[construction]] or a paved [[road]]. Note that this will also revert the floor's material to that of the surrounding layer, so erasing low-quality engravings in high-value materials such as [[native platinum]] or [[star ruby]] may be counterproductive. Using this technique to erase a masterwork engraving will cause an unhappy [[thought]] in the artist who engraved it, as will mining a wall with a masterpiece on it.

Masterwork floor engravings can be removed, with no apparent unhappy thoughts, by allowing [[magma]] to remove the engraving. The tile will revert to its smooth form.

Be warned, this will convert ANY stone into 15 Plump Helmets, including economic stones and metal ores, so keep a sharp eye on them while they're doing this!

===Dragon Breeding===
I did this while I already had a male and a female dragon captured and tamed. You don't have to make a new world.

===Feline Natureborn===
This is a mod by [[User:DarthCloakedDwarf|DarthCloakedDwarf]], I just helped with it, basically being a code monkey. It will be up to view [[User:DarthCloakedDwarf#Feline_Natureborn|here]].

===Domestic Spinner===
Just what it sounds like. Making a domesticated creature that can spin webs. Not working yet. I copied everything I could find from the dog, merely changing names and adding in the web-spinner part from cave spiders.

Newest version. This allows embarking with a canine-clone that shows up as a Gannek, along with embark options of gannek silk goods and clothes, and occasional spots of gannek web appearing in the world where I embark, but those don't regenerate, and the ganneks themselves only exist as the ones I have, which spin webs as a breath attack. I would like this to be a casual thing, like regular cave spiders.

Also, is it possible that [THICKWEB] implies [AMBUSHPREDATOR]?

Aescula: /* Depot Deconstruction */ new section

== Accessible? ==

* Caravans only spawn on ground edge tiles that could be walked on when the embark zone was first generated.

I can confirm that if you create an above-ground route to the edge of the embark zone wagons will '''not''' spawn on it - instead you get the 'bypassed your inaccessible ...' message. Presumably flooring over the top of a river / sea / lake that adjoins the embark zone edge would also not work.[[User:Ptb ptb|Ptb ptb]] 21:06, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

== Depot Deconstruction ==

This is something I've not had the courage to verify, but I've noticed. I deconstructed from under an Elven caravan once, and got their goods. They looked legit, and all that, and so I stocked them away, naturally. I tried to trade with the next elf caravan, and making sure that none of the goods, even those weird <<ropes>> had any wood whatsoever. They claimed the item was one a beautiful tree, and is now a useless bauble. They packed up and left. I tried this more carefully the next year, and same thing.

Point is, can anyone verify if a civ remembers what goods you steal by way of depot deconstruction? --[[User:Aescula|Aescula]] 10:23, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

v0.31:Cloth

2012-01-26T01:27:23Z

Aescula: It's worth mentioning.

{{av}}
{{Quality|Fine|06:21, 12 July 2010 (UTC)}}

Cloth is made at [[Loom]] from [[Thread|threads]] of plant fiber, yarn/hair, silk or adamantine:
* [[cave spider]] silk, found in underground caverns
* [[phantom spider]] silk, found in evil forests
* [[giant cave spider]] silk, found near giant cave spiders
* [[rope reed]] thread, found/grown above ground
* [[pig tail]] thread, found/grown underground
* [[Yarn]] thread, sheared from animals or from butchered corpses
* [[Adamantine]] strands, extracted from [[Raw adamantine]]

Cloth is woven from thread. Silk is gathered as thread, but a [[Farmer's workshop]] is necessary to Process plant fiber and Spin yarn/hair into their thread forms.

[[Elf|Elves]] bring large amounts of rope reed cloth when they arrive for trading in the spring.

One newly made piece of cloth is worth 10000 'cloth units' and a [[thread]] is worth 15000 units of thread, according to [[Healthcare|the hospital]].

Cloth can be fashioned into [[clothing]] or [[bag]]s at a [[Clothier's shop]], or made into [[craft]]s at a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]]. Empty bags and [[quiver]]s, cloth crafts and clothing can be decorated with cloth at a craftsdwarf's workshop.

Cloth can be dyed at a [[dyer's shop]].

*Note: While other metals can be made into cloth, the same as Adamantine, the cloth cannot further be worked without new reactions.

'''Example:''' 
[BODY:BODY_WITH_HEAD_FLAG:HEART:GUTS:BRAIN:MOUTH] 
This is the body from a {{L|Purring maggot}}. It creates a body with head, a heart, some guts, a brain, and a mouth. Thats all a maggot needs.

|-
| BODY_APPEARANCE_MODIFIER
|
*ATTRIBUTE
*lowest:lower:low:median:high:higher:highest
| These body modifiers give individual creatures different characteristics. In the case of HEIGHT, BROADNESS and LENGTH, the modifier is also a percentage change to the BODY_SIZE of the individual creature. The seven numbers afterward give a distribution of ranges. Each interval has an equal chance of occurring.
'''Example:''' 
[BODY_APPEARANCE_MODIFIER:HEIGHT:90:95:98:100:102:105:110] 
''HEIGHT'' : marks the height to be changed

'''Example:''' 
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE:BONE:CARTILAGE] 
This creates the detailed body of a {{L|fox}}, the skin, fat, muscle, bones and cartilage out of the vertebrate tissues. 
A {{L|Purring maggot|maggot}} would only need: 
''[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:EXOSKELETON_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE]''

|-
| BODY_SIZE
| years:days:size
| sets up size at a given time. Size is in cubic centimeters (milliliters), and for normal body materials is roughly equal to the creature's average weight in grams.
'''Example:''' 
[BODY_SIZE:0:0:10000] 
[BODY_SIZE:1:168:50000] 
[BODY_SIZE:12:0:220000] 
This describes the size of a {{L|minotaur}}. His birth size would be 10000 (10000 mL, ~10 kg). With 1 year and 168 days he would be 50000 tall (~50 kg). As an adult (with 12 years) he would weight roughly 220 kg

|-
| BODYGLOSS
| gloss
| Substitutes body part text with replacement text. Draws gloss information from OBJECT:BODY files (such as body_default.txt)

|-
| BONECARN

! Description

|-
| [[Ethics|ETHIC]]
|
*behavior
*reaction
| Sets the civ's view of certain behaviors, from capital punishment to completely acceptable. This also causes the civ to look upon opposing ethics with disfavor, if their reaction to it is opposing, and when at extremes (one ACCEPTABLE, another civ UNTHINKABLE for example) they will often go to war over it.
[ETHIC:EAT_SAPIENT_KILL:ACCEPTABLE]

|-
| WILL_ACCEPT_TRIBUTE
|
| Makes the civ's traders accept offered goods.

|-
| WANDERER, BEAST_HUNTER, SCOUT
|
| The civ will send out these sorts of adventurers in worldgen.

|-
| ABUSE_BODIES
|
| The civilization will mutilate bodies when they are the victors in history-gen warfare, such as hanging bodies from trees, putting them on spikes, and so forth. Adventurers killed in Adventurer mode will sometimes be impaled on spikes wherever they died, with or without this token, and regardless of whether they actually antagonized the townspeople.

|-
| ACTIVE_SEASON
| season
| the season when the civ is most active: when they will trade, interact with you via diplomats, and/or invade you. Civs can have multiple season entries. Note: If multiple caravans arrive at the same time, you are able to select which civ to trade with at the depot menu. ACTIVE_SEASON tags may be changed for a currently active fort.
[ACTIVE_SEASON:AUTUMN]

|-
| AMBUSHER
|
| When invading sneaks around and shoots at straggling members of your society. They will spawn on the edge of the map and will only be visible when one of their party are spotted; this can be quite dangerous to undefended trade depots.

|-
| AT_PEACE_WITH_WILDLIFE
|
| Will not attack wildlife, and will not be attacked by them, even if you have them in your party. This can be somewhat disconcerting when attacked by bears in the forest and your elven ally sits back and does nothing.

|-
| BABYSNATCHER
|
| Sends thieves to steal babies. Also sends ambush parties to harass your civilization. Without this tag enemy civs will only siege, and will siege as early as they would otherwise babysnatch. This can happen as early as the first year of the fort! In addition, babysnatcher civs will snatch children during history gen, allowing them to become part of the civ if they do not escape.

Note: If playable civ in Fortress Mode has this tag (ie. you add BABYSNATCHER to the dwarf entity) then the roles will be reversed and elves and humans will siege and ambush and goblins will trade with you.

|-
| DIPLOMAT
|
| Presumably causes the civilization to send a diplomat once your fortress reaches a certain state.

|-
| DIPLOMAT_BODYGUARDS
|
| Effect unknown.

|-
| INVADERS_IGNORE_NEUTRALS
|
|

|-
| ITEM_THIEF
|
| Sends thieves to steal items. This will also occur in history generation, and thieves will have the "thief" profession. Items stolen in history gen will be scattered around that creature's home.

|-
| MERCHANT_BODYGUARDS
|
| Merchants have bodyguards and wagons. Wagons allow for a lot more variety in their goods.

|-
| MERCHANT_NOBILITY
|
| Effect unknown - in previous versions, this resulted in the civ having a Guild Representative / Merchant Baron / Merchant Prince, but now this is controlled solely by positions.

|-
| PROGRESS_TRIGGER_POPULATION
| level
| 0 to 5, civ will come to site once population at site has reached that level. If multiple progress triggers exist for a civ, it will come when any one of them is fulfilled instead of waiting for all of them to be reached. 0 corresponds to no population requirement necessary for interaction. 1 corresponds to 20 dwarves, 2 to 50 dwarves, 3 to 80, 4 to 110, and 5 to 140. Progress triggers may be changed, added, or deleted for a currently active fort. Note: hostile civs require that the population trigger be fulfilled as well as at least one other trigger before attacking.

|-
| PROGRESS_TRIGGER_PRODUCTION
| level
| 0 to 5, civ will come to site once created wealth has reached that level. If multiple progress triggers exist for a civ, it will come when any one of them is fulfilled instead of waiting for all of them to be reached. Progress triggers may be changed, added, or deleted for a currently active fort.

|-
| PROGRESS_TRIGGER_TRADE
| level
| 0 to 5, civ will come to site once exported goods has reached that level. If multiple progress triggers exist for a civ, it will come when any one of them is fulfilled instead of waiting for all of them to be reached. Progress triggers may be changed, added, or deleted for a currently active fort.

|-
| PROGRESS_TRIGGER_POP_SIEGE
| level
| 0 to 5, civ will begin to send sieges against the player civ when this level is reached if it is hostile.

If multiple progress triggers exist for a civ, it will come when any one of them is fulfilled instead of waiting for all of them to be reached. 0 corresponds to no population requirement necessary for interaction. 1 corresponds to 20 dwarves, 2 to 50 dwarves, 3 to 80, 4 to 110, and 5 to 140.

|-
| PROGRESS_TRIGGER_PROD_SIEGE
| level
| 0 to 5, civ will begin to send sieges against the player civ when this level is reached if it is hostile.

|-
| PROGRESS_TRIGGER_TRADE_SIEGE
| level
| 0 to 5, civ will begin to send sieges against the player civ when this level is reached if it is hostile.

|-
| SIEGER
|
| Will wait around at the edge of your map for a month or two, before charging.

|-
| SKULKING
|
| This makes the severity of attacks depend on the extent of item/baby thievery rather than the passage of time.

|-
| TREE_CAP_DIPLOMACY
|
| Makes the entity angry if you cut down too many trees. They will send a warning first.

|-
| LAYER_LINKED
|
| Defines if a civilization is a hidden subterranean entity, such as batman civilizations.

2010-12-01T08:37:43Z

Aescula: /* Adamant? */ new section

== Specific Colors ==

I believe there should be a way to choose the type of dye you want to use. Or is there some way to do that already? For instance, I want to make blue cloaks as per my guards' uniform template, but when I dye the thread I cannot designate the workshops to only use dimple dye; conversely, I cannot specify the clothier's shops to only use ''blue'' dyed thread when making cloaks. The only way I see around this is to forbid the respective dyes you don't want to use and/or the wrong-colored thread when making the end product, but there really should be a better way to do this. --[[User:Bronzebeard|Bronzebeard]] 04:26, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
*The only other way I can think of is to 'd'ump the blue threads into a quantum stockpile near the clothier, then proceed to make cloaks. He'll choose the closest unforbidden material. [[Special:Contributions/97.103.188.15|97.103.188.15]] 20:04, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
*burrows are a great way to ensure that youre producers are using the material you want them to.

== Values? ==

The 40d version of this article has a "Value" column on the far right. Does anyone know if dye in the current version has different values?

== can't dye imported cloth? ==

I've been using dye on cloth for awhile in my fort to some success. I've got some imported cloth that clearly is not dyed upon close inspection, and I have dye on hand, but when i order the workshops to 'dye cloth' the job is immediately canceled due to not having '10,000 units of dyeable cloth'
--[[Special:Contributions/99.68.98.63|99.68.98.63]] 04:56, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
:Are you certain the cloth has not been used by your hospital? If an item of cloth has been used as a bandage, it's no longer considered a stack of 10,000 and won't be valid for the usual workshop-related tasks. Even if your hospital was well stocked with cloth for bandages, it's not guaranteed that your medical dwarves used what was stocked in the hospital - they pick materials based on proximity when they initially "pick up" the job. It is also possible that a medical dwarf took something out of the hospital, but that item was replaced by a hauler before the bandaging was finished, so the cloth used as a bandaged was returned to the cloth stockpile (because the hospital no longer has room for it). [[User:Niveras|Niveras]] 15:27, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

== Adamant? ==

Does anyone know if Adamantine strands can be dyed before turning them into cloth? I'm running parallel adamantine production and dyed cloth production, and I don't know if I should be checking my dyed threads for being adamantine. --[[User:Aescula|Aescula]] 08:37, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

v0.31 Talk:Armor

2010-11-27T02:31:47Z

Aescula: /* Modding Gloves */ new section

==Armor raw changes==
Main armor types have been renamed to "breastplate" and "mail shirt" respectively.
Someone with some understanding of armor RAWs should work on the new page. I had to ask just to learn what the [STEP] tags did.

Breastplates have no LBSTEP nor UBSTEP, and now have a simple [ARMORLEVEL:3] in place of all of the old modifiers. They also have no [VALUE] tag.

:The community is still working on figuring out what all the different variables do(if anything there appear to be some placeholders in different parts of different raws), and how materials effect the results. The current best description is to say that, for armor, adamantine>steel>bronze(bismuth or not)>iron>=copper>everything else and that adding more layers at least doesn't seem to hurt(except for weight/speed considerations). Some have gone a little further than that(http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=53571.msg1151052#msg1151052). --[[User:PencilinHand|PencilinHand]] 00:09, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

::Having worked on the problem some I must point out that there is an important difference between having no LBSTEP or UBSTEP and having zero LBSTEP and UBSTEP. A lot of work still needs to be done, especially with regards to how materials work with armor. Also, could everybody remember to sign their work [http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Dwarf_Fortress_Wiki:Community_Portal# like Zorro?] --[[User:PencilinHand|PencilinHand]] 06:20, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Extensive coverage testing of various armors and UB/LBSTEP reveals some buggy behavior:

-The only way to protect [STANCE], [GRASP], [HEAD], or [UPPERBODY] parts (feet, hands, head, and upperbody) is with armor worn on them specifically(LOWERBODY parts may be protected by armor worn on the UPPERBODY as well as the LOWEBODY).

-[LIMB]s (arms and legs) are correctly protected by armors, pants, gloves, and gauntlets with appropriate UBSTEP and LBSTEP values. For example, lower arms can be protected by body armor with UPSTEP >=2 as well as gloves with LBSTEP>=1.

-Currently(31.03), the ONLY way to protect parts that are not [LIMB]s,[STANCE]s,[GRASP]s,[HEAD]s or [UPPER/LOWERBODY]s parts (such as facial features, toes, fingers, throat, vestigial wings, any cosmetic custom parts, etc)is by exploiting a bug. You need a robe, or a dress; an UPPERBODY armor with UBSTEP:MAX. Armor configured this way will protect all [LIMB]s that are do not qualify for LBSTEP coverage, as well as fingers and toes etc, but it will NOT protect, hands, feet, or heads. Gauntlets, boots, and helms currently protect hands, feet, and heads, but not fingers, toes, or facial features. This is both counter intuitive, and at odds with toady's comments on the subject.

--[[User:Derigo|Derigo]] 05:15, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Whether or not we know the exact mechanics of the various STEPS, I have added them to the Armor Tables so we can at least have a reference to what armor has what. Also, they are now sortable by those #s, because that was really bugging me.

Does anyone know what the BONE/LEATHER/ETC categories are tracking? Because I think it is a holdover from 40d, but I wasn't going to delete them until I knew for sure. --[[User:Flaede|Flaede]] 10:08, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

=== wooden armor ====
just curious -- how does it rate?

==New armor layering rules==
I added the new rules for layering armor. It is kind of complicated and I only typed it up so it will need to be presented in a more user friendly format at some point but it is past 2 am here so I am going to bed now. Also, we need to confirm that these rules hold for fortress mode. --[[User:PencilinHand|PencilinHand]] 06:20, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

I don't understand something--in the example, you say you can get 2x socks, 2x high boots. But if high boots have size 25 permit 15, how do you get the second pair on? Wouldn't the third rule be violated? – [[template:unsigned|unsigned]] comment by [[User:74.104.157.229|74.104.157.229]]
:I suspect he's accepting the fact that a dwarf has two feet - so he'd get one sock and one high boot on one foot, and one sock and one high boot on the other. But that's just my interpretation - I don't try and optimize my fortress-mode armoring any better than "okay, high boots protect more than low boots, so I'll make those instead". --[[User:DeMatt|DeMatt]] 07:41, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

==Bugs==
I just thought I'd point out the bar number bug is probably due to the fact that a steel bar is now 150 steel, much like cloth and thread. The smelting reactions require 150 units as input, but the forge reactions appear to be asking for number of bars instead of amount of metal. Input for a breastplate should then be 450 steel instead of 3. --[[User:Dapanman|Dapanman]] 22:00, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
:I tested this by editing the raws; if you multiply all the material size tokens by 150 you get the correct results (breastplates take 3 bars, chain shirts/greaves take 2, etc). So a breastplate should have material size 1350. (And if you don't have enough, it will again misrepresent it as "needs 450 bars" but oh well.) You have to gen a new world though. [[Special:Contributions/96.224.166.17|96.224.166.17]] 02:27, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Note that for optimal loadout in Fortress mode, be sure to select 'replace clothing' rather than 'over clothing' -- I tried to add breastplate, mail shirt and leather cloak to someone already wearing a shirt, and they'd just spin in 'Pickup Equipment' trying to overload themselves, swapping the mail shirt and breastplate. If you don't mind specifying every piece of garb in their uniform, it's easier if they start naked and you build up from there.

==Toga==
i dont see these on the table, yet i can create them in the '[j]obs' menu, in the leatherworks, and in the clothier's shop in both cloth and silk. surely it should be on there?--[[User:DJ Devil|DJ Devil]] 15:23, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
:i also cant make robes or coats. did anyone check the accuracy of this page before it was put on here..?--[[User:DJ Devil|DJ Devil]] 15:30, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
::Dunno why you can't make robes or coats - for me, my leatherworks has robes as the third choice, coats at fifth, and yes togas at sixth. Cloth has 'em in the same order, and the same for silk. Not in a position to comment on their protective capabilities, me, but they definitely exist. --[[User:DeMatt|DeMatt]] 16:43, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
:one possible reason could be that i'm still on 0.31.03, but i cant see that mattering too much - surely they didnt take any items out of that particular release which were in 40d, and then put it back in on 0.31.04? that'd be a bit bizarre.. but i cannot make robes or coats anywhere (i.e. not on the 'jobs' menu, or in the leatherworks, or in the clothier's). the list goes as such;
* leather armour (only in the leatherworks)
* dress
* shirt
* tunic
* toga
* vest
* cloak
* leggings (only in the leatherworks)
* trousers
* cap
* helm (only in the leatherworks)
* hood
* glove

* sock (only in the clothier's (both materials))
* high boot (only in the leatherworks)
* shoe
very strange..--[[User:DJ Devil|DJ Devil]] 17:43, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
:The clothing objects you're able to make depend on your civilization - if you look, they're all in the raws. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 18:00, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
::sorry, i dont quite understand. by 'civilisation', do you mean the race? i.e. goblin/human/dwarf? or do you mean specifically the settlement my town was created from? and in my raws it has robes and coats in the 'item_armor' file, along with togas, and the other stuff i CAN make.--[[User:DJ Devil|DJ Devil]] 18:15, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
:He does mean "specifically the settlement", although the organization is not settlement-specific. Now that I look more closely, my leatherworks is missing "shirt" and "vest", as is my clothier's shop. So yes, it varies depending on the civilization. You can get an idea of what your chosen civ has access to during the Embark phase. Just go to add a new item, and look at the Bodywear category. --[[User:DeMatt|DeMatt]] 19:46, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

::I will edit the table to add togas and add a disclaimer about availability being based on civilization. --[[User:PencilinHand|PencilinHand]] 16:50, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

[[Special:Contributions/152.91.9.144|152.91.9.144]] 05:52, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

==Leather vs Chain vs Plate==

Am I missing something, or is listing the distinction in the table between these types of armor an outdated concept? As far as I know, the game doesn't currently use these terms to categorize armor, and some of them don't even make sense anymore, like metal caps being categorized as "leather". Surely the "Armor Level" column covers the concept comprehensively without causing confusion? --[[User:Soronhen|Soronhen]] 16:53, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

== Human-sized armor ==

Is there any issue with dwarves wearing human-made and human-sized armor pieces, e.g., "large cap", "large breastplate"? (If dwarves can wear them, why can't they make them?) Elf-sized armor? And would humans be interested in elf-made armor pieces?
It seems an obvious issue to ask about, but I haven't seen any answers... -- [[User:Maunder|Maunder]] 05:21, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
:Any armor/clothing that is labeled as "large" or "small" cannot be equipped; thus, gear worn by {{L|Human}}s, {{L|Troll}}s, and {{L|Kobold}}s is useful only for melting or for trading. {{L|Goblin}}s and {{L|Elf|Elves}} are the same size as Dwarves, so your dwarves can wear them just fine. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 21:43, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

== Adamantine dress and robe ==

I verified that adamantine dresses and robes will protect everything except hands, feet, and heads. (Including toes, fingers, necks, and noses.) I believe that this makes adamantine robes the mose efficient use of the metal, granting near-immunity to piercing and slashing attacks. [[User:Decius|Decius]] 23:57, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

== Changes in 0.31.17? ==

I've just had a strike to a goblin toe deflected by his copper low boot. The article claims that it is impossible due to a bug. Recheck of armor coverage rules is in order.[[File:Foot_toe-deflected.png]]--[[User:Another|Another]] 16:37, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

== Modding Gloves ==

I'm working on a mod to be able to produce armor in adventure mode -- but I've hit a snag. Gloves of all sorts are in "left" and "right" pairs.

* {{Tile|↓|1:1}} '''Thirsty:''' The creature needs {{L|water}} or {{L|alcohol}}.

* {{Tile|↓|7:0}} '''Drowsy:''' The dwarf wants {{L|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}} '''{{L|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}} '''{{L|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 {{L|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 {{L|fey mood}}, but without the skill increase.

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

* {{Tile|!|5:0}} '''Fell Mood:''' Similar to a {{L|fey mood}}, though resulting in a dwarf being murdered.

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

* {{Tile|!|6:1}} '''{{L|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}} '''{{L|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}} '''{{L|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}} '''{{L|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|!|1:0}} '''Traumatized:''' The creature has experienced things no creature should ever have to experience, and is in a permanent state of shock, endlessly staring off into space.

* {{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. [[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}} '''{{L|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 {{L|Wound|Injury}}:''' Any wound that leaves only one hand in working condition, including severings.

* {{Tile|+|4:7:1}} '''Major {{L|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 permenantly 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 {{L|cave-in}}, or as a result of minor {{L|cave adaptation}}.

* {{Tile|X|2:1}} '''Nausea:''' Can be caused by {{L|cave adaptation}}, and will cause {{L|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 {{L|trap}} will trigger it, with messy and/or humorous results.

* {{Tile|X|4:1}} '''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 {{L|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. 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}} '''{{L|Swimmer#Drowning|Drowning}}:''' The creature is drowning. Large {{L|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 {{L|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.

2010-10-11T12:39:30Z

Aescula: /* Color >15? */ new section

What is this page even supposed to be about? The interface colors, the descriptive colors, or something else? --[[User:StrongAxe|StrongAxe]] 16:31, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
:Interface colors, colors of creatures and everything else that has colors. <s>I would like to see a list of what makes what colors e.g. petrified wood has bright red and that all.</s> --[[User:Niggy|Niggy]] 11:10, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

If someone needs help at what makes what colors, I made a simple list of which things have what color. Its on my user page and shows stones, ores, metals, alloys, gems, glass and trees. --[[User:Niggy|Niggy]] 14:46, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

== Color >15? ==

I thought this was pretty cool, basically being Dwarven Active Camoflage. So i tried it on cats. It actually displayed what I put in, but the scale looped! Like, 20's responded like 4's, and so on!Can anyone verify if it really works? --[[User:Aescula|Aescula]] 12:39, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

v0.31:Color

2010-10-11T12:37:37Z

Aescula: /* Values higher than 15: */

{{av}}{{Quality|Exceptional|10:19, 7 June 2010 (UTC)}}
'''Color''' is used to express various information, from a dwarf's {{L|profession}} to the natural color of a terrain feature to the material an item is made of.

:* ''If looking for different colors for the game as seen on your computer screen, see {{L|color schemes}}.''
:* ''If looking for the different colors used to represent different dwarfs, see {{L|Skill#Professions, colors, & skill categories|Skill categories}}.)''
:* ''If looking for colors of items listed in the z-stocks menu, see {{L|Stocks#Color_Code|Stocks}}.''

==Wall vs. floor color==
[[image:Towercaps-sandy.jpg|thumb|[[phyllite]] (to the left) has COLOR:0:7:1 and BASIC_COLOR:7. The white [[sand]] present has COLOR:7:6:1 and so the actual floor color is 7:1 (white).]]

While the foreground, background and brightness shown in the [[Matgloss tokens|MATGLOSS]] files will be applied to [[wall|walls]], the [[stone|mineral]]'s "secondary" color will end up different. Here is how it works:
* If the BASIC_COLOR tag is specified, it will use that color. Note that the BASIC_COLOR tag only has foreground and brightness as arguments.
* If BASIC_COLOR is left out:
** The background color is forced to 0 (effectively stripping it).
** If the foreground color is 0, the game will display it as dark grey, color 8 (in other words, color 0 with brightness 1).
This is effective for {{L|stairs}}, {{L|floor|floors}}, {{L|ramp|ramps}}, and {{L|construction|constructions}} (in the case of stone). When stone is {{L|engraving|engraved}}, it returns to the original color specified in MATGLOSS. The relevant matgloss files are the ones that begin with "<tt>matgloss_stone_</tt>".

== Modding color ==

If you wish to change how a specific item appears in the game, you can modify what colors are associated with that item.* Various moddable files use one of the the two color definitions below.

=== Color flags ===

Colors are primarily defined using the [COLOR:foreground:background:brightness] flag. The three arguments are:

# Foreground color [0-7]
# Background color [0-7]
# Brightness of the foreground color [0 or 1]

The brightness of the background color is always 0.

By default*, the following 8 pairs of colors are displayed:

::::''(* See {{L|color scheme}} for information about how to change the actual various colors as displayed.)''

Sometimes the color numbers are part of another flag, e.g. the last three arguments of <code>[EXTRACT:golden salve:6:0:1]</code> express the color yellow on black.

===Interesting Color Effects===
====Values 8-15====

If the brightness value is 1 or another nonzero number, it adds 8 to the foreground color. If the final value of the foreground or background is 8-15, it appears as a "bright" color. As these values can be manually typed in instead of using the brightness value, you can also give the background a bright color with this method.

====Values higher than 15:====

If the foreground color is higher than 15 for any reason, the tile or creature will take the color of whatever tile was in that position on the screen in the previous frame. If the background color value is higher than 15, it also acts this way, taking the background color of the previous tile to inhabit that location. [Disputed - see talk]

=== Color tokens ===

[[Dye]]s do not use color flags, they reference color tokens defined in descriptor_color_standard.txt. Color tokens are simply referenced by the token name, e.g. <code>[MILL_DYE:EMERALD]</code>. However, the defined RGB values are never actually displayed in-game - instead, the game uses one of the above 16 colors, choosing the one with the closest RGB values.

The following colors are defined via tokens:

v0.31:Reactions

2010-10-02T13:43:31Z

Aescula: /* Other tokens */

{{quality|Masterwork|08:00, 22 May 2010 (UTC)}}
{{av}}

Reactions are modular, editable formulas that take specific ingredients, or reagents, and use them to produce a desired item. A lot of reactions are hardcoded - building beds or creating glass, for example -- but a few are freely editable, and it's quite simple to add additional ones.

== Reaction differences between modes ==
In [[Fortress mode]], reactions are linked to specific buildings, and must be added to a civilization's [[Entities|entity file]] to be usable by that civilization. This has the useful effect of limiting new items and materials (such as special [[wood]] or [[metal]]) to civilizations that have the requisite reaction -- so that if you give your custom civilization a reaction to produce star metal or some other custom material, only they will be able to use it.

In [[Adventure mode]], reactions are freely available via x > create, and any adventurer character can make free use of them. Reagents may be held in the hands or dropped on the ground, but cannot be used within a backpack or quiver. As of .10, there are several bugs with Adventure mode reactions, chief of which is the fact that the [HAS_MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT] token is completely ignored, leading to dragon eye tissue tanned hides, among other things.

Prior to version 31.10, a reaction could only result in an object of base [[quality]]. However, in .10 items produced via reactions have been observed to have quality modifiers. The way skill factors into them has yet to be determined.

==Anatomy of a reaction==

Reactions are found within reaction_x files (such as reaction_smelter or reaction_other). Generally speaking they adhere to the following structure:

[REACTION:<REACTION IDENTIFIER>]
[NAME:<REACTION NAME>]
[BUILDING:<BUILDING NAME>:<BUILDING KEY>]
The building that the reaction uses, and the relevant
keyboard shortcut.
[REAGENT:A:150:BAR:NONE:POTASH:NONE]
The ingredients required for the reaction.
[PRODUCT:100:1:BAR:NONE:PEARLASH:NONE][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]
The exact item produced by the reaction.
[FUEL]
Whether or not the reaction requires charcoal, coke or
a magma-powered workshop.
[#SKILL:<SKILL TOKEN>]
The skill required and trained by the reaction.
[AUTOMATIC]

The <REACTION IDENTIFIER> may be anything, so long as it is unique within the raws - a good habit to get into is to append a short term to the end of each name related to the name of your mod, to ensure nobody else is going to make an identical reaction and thereby mess up the game if their mod is run alongside yours.

The <REACTION NAME> can be anything at all, and is usually used to describe the reaction - 'tan a hide', for example, is the name of the default leather-producing reaction.

The BUILDING NAME is the name of the building that will house this reaction, and the building key is the keyboard shortcut that will queue up the reaction. If two reactions have the same key, then one of them will be assigned a different key, the first alphabetically available at the building.

=== Reagents ===
REAGENTs are a little bit complicated. They are the ingredients that the reaction will use. You can define as many as you like within a reaction so long as they all have unique names.

[REAGENT:<name>:<quantity>:<item token>:<item subtype>:<material token>:<material subtype>]

The name field is just a small string used to refer to the reagent within the reaction; 'A' or 'B' work, as do words like 'toolstone' or 'flux' - remember not to use apostrophes, though.

The quantity differs between item types - generally speaking, cloth, thread, powder and globs use numbers representing the size of material within one item, and everything else uses a static quantity. For example, 10 thread is one extremely tiny unit of thread, but 10 toy is ten unique, solid toy items.

NOTE: Sometimes the quantity of product is directly connected with the quantity of reagent; it seems to be REAGENT <quantity> / 150 (rounding down) so that Reagent <quantity> of 3 gives 50 product and a <quantity> of 4 gives 37. (150/4=37.5)

The item token is the type of item you require - WEAPON, TOY or SKIN_TANNED, for example.

The item subtype is the exact item that you require - ITEM_WEAPON_SPEAR or ITEM_TOY_PUZZLEBOX, as examples. Some items, like quivers or backpacks, or chunks of stone or metal, only require the item token to be filled in, so if you're asking for those you can leave this blank.

The material token and material subtype are frequently related. The first indicates the category of material you want, such as INORGANIC, though it can also specify one of the hardcoded materials (see {{L|material token}} for a list). The second indicates the specific subtype of material you want, such as OBSIDIAN or STEEL.

Reagents may also have extra tokens added on afterwards. A list of them follows:

{| {{prettytable}}
|- bgcolor="#dddddd"
! Token
! Meaning
|-
| [PRESERVE_REAGENT]
| Reagent is not destroyed, which is the normal effect, at the completion of the reaction. Typically used for containers.
|-
| [REACTION_CLASS:X]
| Detailed below the reaction anatomy section.
|-
| [HAS_MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT:X]
| Detailed below the reaction anatomy section.
|-
| [UNROTTEN]
| Reagent must not be rotten, mainly for organic MATGLOSS types.
|-
| [BUILDMAT]
| Reagent is able to be used to build structures (Stone, Wood, Blocks, Bars?).
|-
| [GLASS_MATERIAL]
| Reagent has a one of the glass MATGLOSS types.
|-
| [WORTHLESS_STONE_ONLY]
| The reagent respects allowed and forbidden economic stones from the Stone menu.
|-
| [FIRE_BUILD_SAFE]
| Reagent must be considered fire safe - ie. not wood, and not coal.
|-
| [MAGMA_BUILD_SAFE]
| Reagent must have a melting point greater than the temperature of Magma.
|-
| [CAN_USE_ARTIFACT]
| Reagent can be an Artifact. Using [PRESERVE_REAGENT] with this is strongly advised.
|-
| [ANY_PLANT_MATERIAL]
| Reagent MATGLOSS must be of a plant subtype.
|-
| [ANY_SILK_MATERIAL]
| Reagent MATGLOSS must be of a silk type.
|-
| [ANY_SOAP_MATERIAL]
| Reagent MATGLOSS must be of a soap type.
|-
| [ANY_LEATHER_MATERIAL]
| Reagent MATGLOSS must be of a leather type.
|-
| [ANY_BONE_MATERIAL]
| Reagent MATGLOSS must be of a bone type.
|-
| [ANY_SHELL_MATERIAL]
| Reagent MATGLOSS must be of a shell type.
|-
| [ANY_TOOTH_MATERIAL]
| Reagent MATGLOSS must be of a tooth type.
|-
| [ANY_HORN_MATERIAL]
| Reagent MATGLOSS must be of a horn type.
|-
| [ANY_PEARL_MATERIAL]
| Reagent MATGLOSS must be of a pearl type (Excretion from sea creatures?)
|-
| [USE_BODY_COMPONENT]
| Reagent MATGLOSS must come off a creature's body.
|-
| [METAL_ORE]
| Reagent MATGLOSS must be a metal ore.
|-
| [NOT_WEB]
| States that the material cannot be web (For making only plant/adamantine thread?).
|-
| [WEB_ONLY]
| States that the material has to be web (For making only silk thread?).
|-
| [POTASHABLE]
| The reagent must be able to be turned into pot ash.
|-
| [EMPTY]
| If the reagent is a container, it must be empty.
|-
| [CONTAINS_LYE]
| If the reagent is a container, it must contain LYE.
|-
| [NOT_CONTAIN_BARREL_ITEM]
| If the reagent is a Barrel, it must not contain an item that has to reside in a barrel. Barrel items appear to be lye and milk. Alcohol appears to be covered as part of [EMPTY]. A reaction which places an item in a barrel should probably have both tags.
|-
| [BAG]
| Reagent has to be a bag. Intended to be used with an item type of BOX, to prevent chests, coffers, and other containers from being used instead.
|}

Generally speaking, if you set a field in a reagent to NONE, the reaction won't discriminate when it comes to that particular field. For example, if you require a BOULDER reagent but leave the matgloss fields as NONE:NONE, it will grab any available BOULDER-type item irrespective of matgloss.

===Products===
Products are the end product of the reaction. A reaction can have as many products as it likes.

Products are almost identical to reagents, except that they do not need to be named, can't have fields undefined, and don't use the quantity field to determine the product size. Instead, the token PRODUCT_DIMENSION:X is tacked on after the PRODUCT token, determining the size of the product. Products also don't use tokens like USE_ANY_BONE_MATERIAL.

Products can be produced directly to a container using the [PRODUCT_TO_CONTAINER:<IDENTIFIER>] token, where the IDENTIFIER is the name of a reagent. This requires the reagent to have the PRESERVE_REAGENT token.

===Other tokens===
The [FUEL] token means that the reaction requires coke or charcoal to be performed, or theoretically magma, if we could build magma workshops.

The [SKILL:X] token determines what [[Skill tokens|skill]] the reaction requires and what skill it trains. Multiple skills can be listed but only one will be used.

The [AUTOMATIC] token means that the reaction will be queued automatically if the reaction reagents are all present.

The [ADVENTURE_MODE_ENABLED] token means that this version of the reaction is not used by dwarves at home in a fortress, but rather the wanderers of Adventure Mode. When using this token, it will be allowed for adventurers of any race, without editing Entity files.

==Material reaction products and reaction classes==

You can get a certain measure of control over very specific materials using reaction classes and material reaction products - the tokens look like this:

[REACTION_CLASS:FAT]
[HAS_MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT:RENDER_MAT]

Reaction classes represent different classes of material - basically, the matgloss subtype of the reagent must have a REACTION_CLASS the same as the one in the reaction.

Material reaction products are similar, but are generally used more for things like different kinds of creature materials than universal materials like stone. This token is how skin can be tanned into leather, which are two separate materials - the skin material has leather as a MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT.

In short, they require the material to have a token such as
[MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT:X:Y:Z]
...where X is the name of the reaction product that will be referred to in the reaction (RENDER_MAT, in the reaction class example, or TAN_MAT for leather), Y is the matgloss type of the desired product (such as INORGANIC or LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT) and Z is the specific material, like LEATHER or OBSIDIAN.

==Reactions and world generation==

There are several things to keep in mind when you're adding reactions to a game that already exists.

- Most entity changes require a regen, but adding PERMITTED_REACTION tokens for reactions that existed at the time of world generation to a the entity file in the save directory do not.
- Adding reactions to the raws in a save directory requires you to regen the world.
- You can alter an existing reaction in any way you like without regenning the world, so long as you don't alter the reaction identifier.

Breathes out a jet of "dragonfire", which can still injure things that are immune to normal fire, for example the otherwise nigh immortal {{L|Bronze colossus}} (dragonfire is, however, a blockable attack if its victim is using a shield).

==Defense Strategies==

Dragonfire can be blocked if the victim is using a shield, and it often will be. Dragons are also massively powerful in melee combat, so they can be hard to take down without a good military. Possibly the best defense is to use piercing weapons like crossbows and especially spears and hope you get lucky and hit a vital organ which can bring it down immediately. An alternative is quickly building one or multiple cage traps which will probably cage the dragon making it harmless.

==Domestication==

Dragons can be captured in cage traps and made as pets if you're lucky enough to catch one. You need a {{L|dungeon master}} to tame a Dragon, but if you can do it, you'll have a massively valuable pet. Dragons can also be tamed as war or hunting animals at the {{L|kennel}}. You may have to watch out, though, as a Dragon can seriously damage a fortress with one blast of ill-timed dragonfire. See {{L|fire}} for details.

==Irregularities, Bugs, and Future Plans==
Dragons have been observed to occasionally wear some armour (breastplates, greaves, leggings and boots). This armor is specified as "Large [metal][armor type]" and gives the dragon the same protection as any other species might get from it. It is possible to equip Dragons, Hydras and Bronze Colossi with any armor type in the arena.

v0.31:Dwarven atom smasher

{{quality|Exceptional|11:34, 2 October 2010 (UTC)}}{{av}}

The '''Dwarven Atom Smasher''' is a euphemism for a {{L|Drawbridge}} in waste disposal or militarily-significant applications. It {{L|exploit}}s the implementation of drawbridges to utterly destroy any objects and most creatures in its target area. Implementation of bridges appears to have changed significantly since earlier versions -- Dwarven atom smashers are now functional only in a small subset of their previous roles. A DAS still works fine as a trash compactor to smash boulders, items, and fluids straight into oblivion.

== Smashing against the floor ==
In this design, a drawbridge is built to come down on at least one tile of solid floor. The drawbridge is raised, the targets are placed(or move of their own volition) into position on that floor, and then the drawbridge is lowered, erasing the target from existence.

== Smashing upon closing ==
In this design, a very compact drawbridge (as little as one tile long) is used, and the target area is the one-tile wide anchoring area, where the bridge will close. This often uses walls, locked doors, or other solid objects, leaving the targets nowhere to go. The drawbridge is lowered, the targets are placed(or move of their own volition) into position on the tile(s) that the drawbridge will occupy when closing, and then the drawbridge is raised, squashing the targets flat.

== Immune creatures ==
The performance of a DAS on creatures is a bit of a draw bag. It's well known that special creatures with a certain size will make it impossible to raise a drawbridge they are standing on as well as cause a drawbridge to immediately deconstruct if lowered upon the creature; however, it also appears to be true that groups of lesser creatures which are individually subject to atomizing death may be similarly immune to the DAS when in sizeable groups.

v0.31:Forgotten beast

{{minorspoiler}}

''In the deep, there are beasts so fell and terrible, that only they know what they are, for none who have met them have lived to tell of it... they are the Forgotten Beasts, born of the chaos from before the world's birth... they have waited, brooding in the dark places of the world... and now... by digging too deep... we have awakened them.''
::--From the Bay12 Games Forums

'''Forgotten Beasts''' are subterranean {{L|Titan}}s; Forgotten Beasts are, essentially, randomized creatures (or procedurally generated for you fancy big-city developer types) composed from a variety of material types, creature bodies / limbs and other additions. These other additions include everything from venomous stings to flame breath.

The venom of a forgotten beast is randomly generated also, along with the symptoms, along with its [[Syndrome#Breath_attacks|breath attack]] if it has one.

The number of forgotten beasts cannot be controlled directly, but is influenced by the size of the world. They dwell most often in caverns. All appear to be building destroyers, and they also appear to be immune to {{L|trap}}s (unless the creature is stunned). {{L|Bridge}}s are also less useful, as they cannot be raised or lowered as long as the beast is standing on (or under) them, preventing the traditional {{L|magma}} pit / {{L|dwarven atom smasher}} designs from working. This is probably one of [[Toady One]]'s ways of making the encounters even more {{L|fun}}.

Most forgotten beasts can be butchered. Some are quite massive and may leave you with hundreds of meat and bone units and dozens of prepared organ units. Some are not.

When a forgotten beast appears, the game pauses and you will get a message. 
[[Image:DF2010ForgottenBeast1.png]]

If you need to kill a Forgotten Beast, order your military to move to the location of the beast. Some beasts however are content not to path to your fortress and will stay dormant underground.

* Some Forgotten Beasts whose bodies are made of liquid or gas die or lose limbs on the first hit; in previous versions, these FBs were effectively immortal. Version 0.31.09 changed "made material-based random headless beasts killable" (by combat). That includes randomly generated Titans too.
* Other Forgotten Beasts are extremely difficult to kill due to some body compositions, such as being made of "grime and filth" or very hard materials. When confronted with such near-invulnerable creatures the only option is usually to use your brain and try to lock it away somehow. Walls stop them. If you can put it in a pit, a clever trapmaker can feed it invaders.
* One method of defeating nearly combat-invulnerable Forgotten Beasts (those whose bodies are made of rock, for instance) is to cause a {{L|Cave-in}} on top of them. They'll be killed by dropping either natural or constructed walls on them.

v0.31:Tilesets

:''(For a chart with the default ASCII characters, see [[Character table]].)''
:''(For user-created tilesets, see [[Tileset repository]].)''
:''(For user-created creature graphics sets, see [[Graphics set repository]].)''

----

'''Tilesets''' are images the game uses to display its graphics; each tile is used to show text and represent things. Users create custom tilesets for a number of reasons, including increased visibility, aesthetics, or small size. Tilesets come in two flavors: "'''character sets'''" (or simply "tilesets") and "'''graphics sets'''".

== Overview and installation ==

=== Character sets ===

A character set is an image in BMP format that contains the 256 different tiles, corresponding to the [[Character table|IBM Code Page 437]] (sometimes called Extended ASCII), which are used to display the main graphics. [[List of user character sets|Here is the list]] of user-made standard tilesets. To install any of these tilesets, follow these steps:

# Download the tileset via right-click-save-as on the the tileset. The tileset is just an image, so there's no separate download link. (The list is [[List of user character sets|here]])
# Convert it into a 24-bit BMP fileV0.28.181.40d file or PNG filev0.31.06. Do NOT just change the extension to .bmp; you must use a program like MS paint to save it as a .bmp.
# Put it in the data/art directory of your Dwarf Fortress installation.
# Open data/init/init.txt
# If you want to use the tileset in fullscreen mode, locate and modify the [FULLSCREENX:800], [FULLSCREENY:600], and [FULLFONT:curses_800x600.bmp] configuration lines to match the specifications from the tileset list. The FULLFONT directive should match the filename of the tileset you downloaded. If you want to use the tileset in windowed mode, search for the [WINDOWEDX:640], [WINDOWEDY:300], and [FONT:curses_640x300.bmp] lines instead, and change them to the correct values.
# It is also recommended you keep [BLACK_SPACE:YES] to prevent stretching of the graphics.
# Save the .txt file, then you're ready to play!

=== Graphics sets ===

Character sets only change certain graphics, while others are left out. The confusingly-named [[graphics sets]] are used to change the appearance of [[creatures]] in the game, such as dwarves and unicorns. These are usually designed to work together with certain character sets. While Tilesets work the same as previous versions, Graphics Sets will have to be redone as the raws have changed.



== Custom tileset design ==

The default (and minimum) gameplay viewport is 80 characters wide, and 25 characters tall. Therefore, a tileset's target resolution will be TILE_X_LENGTH * 80 by TILE_Y_LENGTH * 25. Since the tileset is arranged into a 16x16 grid of tiles (256 tiles total), the tileset image size will be TILE_X_LENGTH * 16 by TILE_Y_LENGTH * 16. Here are some common tile sizes:

* A tileset with 10x12 tiles will be 160x192 pixels large, and the target resolution will be 800x300.
* A tileset with 16x16 tiles will be 256x256 pixels large, and the target resolution will be 1280x400.

When creating a custom tileset, it's often easiest to start with an existing one, and edit it to your liking. Tilesets generally fall into three categories: rectangular tilesets, square tilesets, and 16x16 square tilesets. Rectangular tilesets have tiles that are taller than they are wide. The text in these tilesets is generally easier to read, but the map appears squished horizontally. Square tilesets usually provide more attractive graphics, but are slightly less readable. The 16x16 square tilesets are just a sub-set, which are grouped together because most [[Object Tilesets]] use 16x16 tiles. The graphics in Dwarf Fortress can be somewhat diversified and enhanced through the use of graphics sets.

Many tiles are used by the game in multiple ways, and this makes customizing the graphics difficult. The same icon is used for chairs and the north end of one-tile-wide vertical bridges. Ashes and broken arrows look the same, and many game entities (such as levers, floodgates, bags, and bins) share characters that are also used in Dwarven names or other bits of text in the interface.



== What tiles are used for what ==

* Items marked with * can have their tile changed in the [[modding|raw data]] files.
* Items marked with # can have their tile replaced by a [[graphics set]] image, in addition to having their tile changed in the raw data.
* Items marked with $ can be changed in the [[init.txt]] file.

For a graphical table, go to the [[Character Table]].

----

'''Tilesets''' are images the game uses to display its graphics; each tile is used to show text and represent things. Users create custom tilesets for a number of reasons, including increased visibility, aesthetics, or small size. Tilesets come in two flavors: "'''character sets'''" (or simply "tilesets") and "'''graphics sets'''".

== Overview and installation ==

=== Character sets ===

A character set is an image in BMP format that contains the 256 different tiles, corresponding to the [[Character table|IBM Code Page 437]] (sometimes called Extended ASCII), which are used to display the main graphics. [[List of user character sets|Here is the list]] of user-made standard tilesets. To install any of these tilesets, follow these steps:

# Download the tileset via right-click-save-as on the the tileset. The tileset is just an image, so there's no separate download link. (The list is [[List of user character sets|here]])
# Convert it into a 24-bit BMP fileV0.28.181.40d file or PNG filev0.31.06. Do NOT just change the extension to .bmp; you must use a program like MS paint to save it as a .bmp.
# Put it in the data/art directory of your Dwarf Fortress installation.
# Open data/init/init.txt
# If you want to use the tileset in fullscreen mode, locate and modify the [FULLSCREENX:800], [FULLSCREENY:600], and [FULLFONT:curses_800x600.bmp] configuration lines to match the specifications from the tileset list. The FULLFONT directive should match the filename of the tileset you downloaded. If you want to use the tileset in windowed mode, search for the [WINDOWEDX:640], [WINDOWEDY:300], and [FONT:curses_640x300.bmp] lines instead, and change them to the correct values.
# It is also recommended you keep [BLACK_SPACE:YES] to prevent stretching of the graphics.
# Save the .txt file, then you're ready to play!

=== Graphics sets ===

Character sets only change certain graphics, while others are left out. The confusingly-named [[graphics sets]] are used to change the appearance of [[creatures]] in the game, such as dwarves and unicorns. These are usually designed to work together with certain character sets. While Tilesets work the same as previous versions, Graphics Sets will have to be redone as the raws have changed.



== Custom tileset design ==

The default (and minimum) gameplay viewport is 80 characters wide, and 25 characters tall. Therefore, a tileset's target resolution will be TILE_X_LENGTH * 80 by TILE_Y_LENGTH * 25. Since the tileset is arranged into a 16x16 grid of tiles (256 tiles total), the tileset image size will be TILE_X_LENGTH * 16 by TILE_Y_LENGTH * 16. Here are some common tile sizes:

* A tileset with 10x12 tiles will be 160x192 pixels large, and the target resolution will be 800x300.
* A tileset with 16x16 tiles will be 256x256 pixels large, and the target resolution will be 1280x400.

When creating a custom tileset, it's often easiest to start with an existing one, and edit it to your liking. Tilesets generally fall into three categories: rectangular tilesets, square tilesets, and 16x16 square tilesets. Rectangular tilesets have tiles that are taller than they are wide. The text in these tilesets is generally easier to read, but the map appears squished horizontally. Square tilesets usually provide more attractive graphics, but are slightly less readable. The 16x16 square tilesets are just a sub-set, which are grouped together because most [[Object Tilesets]] use 16x16 tiles. The graphics in Dwarf Fortress can be somewhat diversified and enhanced through the use of graphics sets.

Many tiles are used by the game in multiple ways, and this makes customizing the graphics difficult. The same icon is used for chairs and the north end of one-tile-wide vertical bridges. Ashes and broken arrows look the same, and many game entities (such as levers, floodgates, bags, and bins) share characters that are also used in Dwarven names or other bits of text in the interface.



== What tiles are used for what ==

* Items marked with * can have their tile changed in the [[modding|raw data]] files.
* Items marked with # can have their tile replaced by a [[graphics set]] image, in addition to having their tile changed in the raw data.
* Items marked with $ can be changed in the [[init.txt]] file.

For a graphical table, go to the [[Character Table]].

v0.31:Raw adamantine

2010-09-30T01:20:03Z

Aescula: Moving spoilers to bottom, so those who do not want to see can just stop reading, instead of having to skip down over them.

{{quality|Masterwork|08:00, 22 May 2010 (UTC)}}{{stonelookup/0}}{{av}}

The ore of {{L|adamantine}} is absurdly valuable, and can be processed into one of the most valuable {{L|material}} in the game, both in monetary worth and utility. Its discovery is both a boon and a bane; it has a massive {{L|value}} even unrefined, and weapons and armor made from it are very likely among the best possible. Its high melting point means you can easily use it to build magma-safe mechanisms and floodgates, but this is not recommended due to its scarcity and value in other items.

Raw adamantine has a {{L|Item_value#Material_multipliers|Material Multiplier}} of x250. For a comparison to other mined materials, generic {{L|stone}} has a MM of x1, {{L|obsidian}} x3, {{L|native silver}} x 10, {{L|native gold}} x30, and {{L|native platinum}} x40. Processed {{L|adamantine}} "metal" has a multiplier of x300, the highest in the game of any {{L|material}}.

__TOC__

Adamantine is so valuable, both in price and usefulness, that a special message pops up when your miners discover a vein of it.

[[Image:000006 - Praise the miners!.png||500px]]

== Location ==

Every map can contain adamantine, regardless of the location. Very small maps can lack adamantine veins, usually however multiple veins are present (~1 per 4 embark squares). If an adamantine veins is located in an embark square, it will be in the center of this square.

==Storage==
Raw Adamantine is stored in stone stockpiles with "Raw Adamantine" enabled in that stockpile's 'other stone' category.

However once strands are extracted, they are stored in a cloth pile. It is unfortunately impossible to directly segregate adamantine from plant fiber and silk cloth, because all cloth apparently counts as non-plant/animal products as far as the game is concerned, and adamantine does not appear as a thread/cloth type in the cloth custom stockpile menu. Furthermore, adamantine strands will never be stored in empty stockpile tiles or in empty bins - they will only be stored in existing thread bins which have not yet been filled up.{{version|0.31.12}}

==Veins and Mining==

[[File:Adamantine_vein_large_profile.png|200px|thumb|right|A profile view of an adamantine vein travelling through an underground cavern, solid rock, and a magma sea. For more detail and resolution click the thumbnail.]]

Raw adamantine veins, in contrast to usual ore veins, span z-levels nearly exactly straight upwards, and are thicker than many gem clusters; this and the fact that the lower half of an Adamantine vein is hollow give veins a tube-like feel. Single z-level clusters can also be found in the walls of the magma sea. Adamantine veins can span from 5 to 30-40 z-levels, sometimes even significantly more. Despite being impossibly strong, a simple copper pick works fine for mining it out, and the top half of a vein is full of raw adamantine ripe for the diggin'. Just make sure you don't dig too deep...

{{minorspoiler}}

One serious downside to mining veins of raw adamantine is that digging into the hollow section will eventually lead to a certain {{L|Hidden Fun Stuff|spoiler}}, triggering {{L|losing|dangerously large amounts of fun}} which can and usually will wipe out even a mature, heavily defended fortress. On the bright side, the location of all adamantine veins will be revealed at this time.

Adamantine can be found in vertical pillars in the {{L|magma sea}}. This makes mining difficult, as one must either drain the area around the pillar to mine the pillar fully, or in cases of thicker pillars, mine out only the interior without breaching the exterior layer (and thus flooding the interior with magma). However, with the access to vast amounts of water almost guaranteed on any map thanks to the new underground lakes, it might be possible to use selective flooding to cool the magma around the adamantine, and build walls of obsidian around them.

==Overload!==
Does anyone know if Dwarf Fortress has a limit to the number of plants it can handle? I've been enjoying modding in plants, and all of a sudden, plump helmets (and plump helmet spawn and dwarven wine) no longer exist! Did I just put in too many? I currently have 68 plants in my version of DF, this is all plants, all trees, standard + modded in.--[[User:Aescula|Aescula]] 06:41, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

== Quality Discussions ==
I think this should be downgraded to an Elven article. It looks like a stub to me. – [[template:unsigned|unsigned]] comment by [[User:Me|Me]]
:Well.. it doesn't have any red links, with many blues. – [[template:unsigned|unsigned]] comment by [[User:92.10.72.113|92.10.72.113]]

I think it should be downgraded to +Fine+. There is a small, basic amount of information. No illustrations of how to hook up millstone to anything, no tips, etc.

Too many articles are marked as +Exceptional+ currently, due to the switch from "Elven", "Human", "Dwarven" to "Tattered", "Exceptional", and "Masterwork". Fine was added later, so most articles that SHOULD be marked "Fine" are currently marked "Exceptional".

I'm bumping this article down to "+Fine+". Others can bump it up if they disagree with me. --[[User:Darkstar|Darkstar]] 21:24, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
:Ehhh... y'know, you could ADD those things you think should be in the article. See? I just did. And then I put it back to Exceptional. --[[User:DeMatt|DeMatt]] 21:55, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Aescula: /* Other Stone */

{{av}}
''(For the beginning player, see also {{l|The Non-Dwarf's Guide to Rock}})''
----

'''Stone''' or '''rock''' is a naturally occuring solid aggregate of minerals. It sometimes {{l|stone management|leaves behind}} material after being mined or {{l|cave in|collapsing}}. Other types of {{l|Mining|minable}} tiles include {{l|soil}} and {{l|sand}}.

Stone is divided into a few key categories:
* {{l|Ore}}: stone that produces {{l|metal|metal bars}} when {{l|Smelter|smelted}}
* Rough {{l|gem}}s: rough gems can be {{l|gem cutting|cut}}, then used to {{l|encrust}} objects and create {{l|window}}s.
* Other stone: Stone that is not an {{l|ore}} or a gem. Few of these have a use outside of items and structures. ({{l|Obsidian}} is one exception).

{{l|Economic stone}}s are types of stone that can be reserved for a special purpose. For {{l|ore}}s, this is smelting and for {{l|flux|fluxes}}, this is steel production. {{l|Bituminous coal}} and {{l|lignite}} can be reserved for making {{l|coke}}.

Having created loose stone, many times you'll want to get rid of it or at least move it someplace else. See {{l|stone management}} for advice.

''This article is about DF geology and the distribution of stones, and does not contain the specific locations of {{l|ore}}s or {{l|gem}}s.''

== Main layer types ==
{{main|Layer}}

There are four types of stone {{l|layer}}s (plus {{l|soil}}, which is not stone). The type of layer is the primary indicator of what kind of {{l|ore}}s you are likely to find on the map, as well as a sign of {{l|volcano|volcanic}} activity.

The types are {{l|sedimentary layer}}s, {{l|igneous intrusive layer}}s, {{l|igneous extrusive layer}}s, and {{l|metamorphic layer}}s.

The primary types of rock only occur in their own layers. (e.g. you won't find {{l|limestone}} in a {{l|marble}} layer.)

== Stones forming entire layers ==
These types of stone occur as entire layers, containing some {{l|vein|veins and pockets}} of other minerals (see below). If one of the following types of stone is present on your map, it will be listed in one of the {{l|biome}}s on the embark screen.

== Other Stone ==
Stones found on this table will occur as {{l|vein|pockets and veins}} inside their respective stone layers (see above). When your miners newly encounter one of them you will receive an announcement, even for the ones that have no use other than to build constructions of unusual colors. Note that the veins or clusters can spread into other layers, and may cause some layers to contain stones they usually wouldn't. A few of these stones, such as {{l|Olivine}}, have other, more interesting minerals appear inside them.

Non-layer stone formations occur in one of three shapes: large clusters, veins, and small clusters. ''(See {{l|Vein|Veins & Clusters}} for full info.)''

''The following table does not contain {{l|ore}}s and {{l|gem}}s.''

== DF Geology and real-world Geology ==
The geology and stones of Dwarf Fortress are based on real-world geology and mineralogy. To understand the terms used here, you may want to crack open a geology textbook (a high school one should suffice). If you don't happen to have one close by, the Wikipedia articles for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geology geology], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineralogy mineralogy], or the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_layers terms in question] might help.

Aescula: /* Magma */

Things I noticed this weekend:

*I made a new map, and the goblins showed up as "WAR" on the choose a site screen. "Great!", I thought. I'll pick military dwarfs and start right on top of a goblin town. So, I did and they were all friendly! I've been playing the orc mod so maybe if I changed the speak/nospeak tag I could get them to be hostile? Anybody?
*Bolts, bolts, BOLTS! I have found that if I change a stockpile so it only accepts wood and bone bolts, nothing gets put there. So, then I end up enabling metal bolts. Just a minor annoyance.
*Beak dogs are butcher-able. And, at a multiplier of two, worth more than common animals.
*Trap avoid is really a bugger. If you don't have a good military, I've found the best way is to snipe them from above with crossbows while they try to make their way to your entrance. Then, raise the gate when they are in firing range. They tend to mill about, confused, until their leader gets kill/calls off the attack. Makes for some fun action! Also, Beak dogs are not trap avoid, so they tend to hit the traps fine. Simple stone fall traps are usually good enough.
*Anybody notice that the orcs riding beak dogs never get hit until the beak dog dies? Seems strange, probably a bug.
*If they have ranged units, though, it's best to just hide them out.
*Marksdwarfs in squads will never occupy a single square, but prefer to hover around. But, if you make every dwarf a squad and assign them a single square, they do it! This leads to some serious "gatling gun" type action!
*Some maps have windmills at 40, others at 20. I wish I could figure out how to get the 40s! With a single gear box and horizontal axle, you're down to 14 remaining power! I want to make some mist machines, but have limited wood.
*Be careful when you collapse floors on top of enemies as a trap. My trap worked beautifully until I realized that it had collapsed the floor under them as well, dropping tons of baddies directly inside my fortress! Oh, what fun!
*I read on the wiki once that somebody used a custom world to make more magma. How? I'd like to do that too.

== Hammerdwarfs ==

Hi. Why do you believe the below is "incorrect"?

<blockquote>
"Hammerdwarf" covers both war hammers and maces, and also when marksdwarves are forced to fight an opponent by bludgeoning them with their crossbow, rather than using it at range."</blockquote>

The only thing I can think of is that dwarves can't use human maces... not sure, now that I think of it.

The rest is supported 100% by the [[weapon]] and [[hammerdwarf]] articles, and the RAW's. If you removed this in errour, please replace it on the [[soldier]] page (so it doesn't look like we're in some kind of edit war). ;) If it's wrong, could you enlighten me as to "why"? thnx --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 20:35, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

:This part is wrong "and maces". Hammerdwarfs don't use maces. Macedwarfs do. I've never seen a hammerdwarf use a mace. Have you? I agree that the part about using a crossbows as a hammer is true. But, it doesn't really fit here in this paragraph and is mentioned other places. So, I simply removed the paragraph. Sorry for the confusion, I was going to leave a comment on the talk page but got distracted elsewhere. 
Good luck on reorganizing the fortress defense pages. I agree with your comments there. One suggestion. Since many people would refer to fortress defenses as "fortifications", a link or something at the top of the fortification page makes sense to me. Something like "Fortifications as used in a fortress defense design (or strategy) is detailed here".--[[User:Kwieland|Kwieland]] 11:09, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Thoughts on herbalist/cooker skills:

One way to quickly level a cook/herbalist/brewer is to have the herbalist gather plants, the brewer to brew them (requires lots of barrels at first) and then have the cook make biscuits of both the seeds (you're not going to plant them anyway) and the alcohol. In the kitchen menu, you need to make sure that plant seeds are being allowed to be cooked, and the plants are all being brewed. The side effect is a lot of biscuits, but you can just make a stockpile just for finished meals (NO barrels!) somewhere close at hand (outside), forbid them, remove the stockpile, and then let them rot. If the brewer is close to the kitchen, the walking should be minimal. Alternatively, a farmer could substitute for a herbalist, but then the flux of plants is more random. This works great on maps with lots of plants.

v0.31:How do I construct a wall from a particular direction

2010-06-03T20:29:08Z

Aescula:

'''PLACEHOLDER:'''

Place a wall (or any other 1-tile structure) on all sides you do not want them to build from, and suspend construction to them, they won't stand there when building unless they have no other choice.

Walls can only be built in an orthagonal direction, while dwarves will move in all 8. This can be exploited to free a trapped dwarf.

==Domestic Spinner==
Just what it sounds like. Making a domesticated creature that can spin webs. Not working yet. I copied everything I could find from the dog, merely changing names and adding in the web-spinner part from cave spiders.

Newest version. This allows embarking with a canine-clone that shows up as a Gannek, along with embark options of gannek silk goods and clothes, and occasional spots of gannek web appearing in the world where I embark, but those don't regenerate, and the ganneks themselves only exist as the ones I have, which spin webs as a breath attack. I would like this to be a casual thing, like regular cave spiders.

Also, is it possible that [THICKWEB] implies [AMBUSHPREDATOR]?

All you need to have is the [COMMON_DOMESTIC] and the [PET] tags '''and''' for the animal in question to have a biome that is '''''accessible''''' to your parent civilization for it to show up in your embark screen.

:::::To have them show up around the world you need to specify a biome that they live in, you never see dogs in the wild or cows in the wild they both have no biome tokens.

This situation hasn't made me dislike you. I don't think you're completely all there logically, but most people aren't anyway.
Despite that, I'm not going go out of my way to ruin it for you. Don't think you're safe, though. I'm not going to give you any special treatment, and I am a stickler (: [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 11:46, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Aescula: Rated article "Masterwork" using the rating script

{{quality|Masterwork|08:00, 22 May 2010 (UTC)}}{{av}}

In Fortress mode, a '''thief''' is a disgusting dishonorable creature that can skulk around the map unseen until detected. When a thief is detected, the game pauses with an identifying {{L|announcement}} and moves the game view to include the threat.

''(A full {{L|military}} response is both complex and slow. If you are new to version 0.31, and simply want to send your nearest dwarves after a thief, see {{L|Attack}}.)

There are two types of intelligent thieves: '''{{L|kobold}} pilferers''' and '''[[goblin]] baby-snatchers''':

:'''Kobold thieves''' can start appearing quite early (first year) and will sneak right past all of your {{L|trap}}s, only triggering them if they are injured during their escape attempt and happen to fall unconscious. They are detected when they move adjacent to a {{L|dwarf}}, guard {{L|dog}} or other tame {{L|animal}}. Armed with only a large dagger, they offer little threat to anyone - an untrained dwarf or dog should be able to take them down, but extreme bad luck is always a possibility in any {{L|combat}} situation. While they sometimes steal low value items left outside (intentionally or not), there seems to be a mechanism that makes them target other, higher value items inside instead, too. (aka completely random)

:The announcement for a kobold thief is...
::{{Gametext|Thief! Protect the hoard from skulking filth!|#f00}}
:...and the game will zoom to a section of your fortress with a small grey "'''k'''" visible - that's your intruder.

:Unlike kobolds, '''Goblin snatchers''' happily run into any kind of trap. They are detected the same way kobolds are, plus cage traps trigger the announcement. Armed with an iron dagger they should be approached with a little bit more caution, but any average soldier should take them down unharmed. When they get their hands on one of your beloved(?) children, they will stuff them in a bag they carry with them for that purpose. (Needless to say, this creates a very {{L|thought|bad thought}} in the parents of the lost child.) The child is considered part of the snatcher's inventory -- in particular, if the goblin is caught in a cage trap, the child will be caught with him. Left in this condition for too long, the child may go insane.

:The announcement for a goblin child-snatcher is...
::{{Gametext|Snatcher! Protect the children!|#f00}}
:...and the game will zoom to a section of your fortress with a small grey "'''g'''" - if you use {{k|v}} or {{k|u}}, these will be listed as "goblin ''thief''" but they're cut from the same stuff and should be terminated with equally extreme prejudice.

:If caged by a trap, the zooming may only reveal a flashing {{L|cage}}, a "'''‼'''".

Both kinds will usually come in small groups of about 1 to 4 individuals. They try to escape once detected and only fight when cornered. Their ability to sneak into your fortress is not to be underestimated; locked doors do not slow them down, although similar barriers that are linked to a lever (and are closed) will. They can lurk around the map for quite some time and wait for their opportunity, even when they are already inside your fortress. They may arrive more or less simultaneously with sieges or ambushes, distraction and general turmoil working in their favor. Guarding any entrance with {{L|restraint|guard animals}} is a safe countermeasure, though. A successful theft of item or child will be announced once the thief leaves the map.

Spotting the thief is winning the battle, but catching and killing them just feels better. A typical thief can outrun a "{{L|Attribute#Agile|very agile}}", unarmoured dwarf, but can only just keep their own against an "extremely agile" unarmoured pursuer. Sending more than one respondent to cut off any retreat may yield a more satisfying result.

Certain "playful" {{L|creatures}} will also try to steal items from your hoard, if left open to more general traffic. These include {{L|raccoon}}s, which tend to be solitary, and groups of {{L|rhesus macaque}}s and {{L|mandrill}}s (which aren't just playful, but downright dangerous). In addition, {{L|black bear|bear}}s and {{L|gnome}}s will try to steal your {{L|alcohol|booze}} if they can get at it. None of these animals has any special ability to avoid standard traps or bypass locked doors.

Urist

2010-05-26T08:40:22Z

Aescula: It's not definite anymore. Besides, temperatures are usually named after the person that invented the scale, and since a dwarf would...

{{D_for_Dwarf}}

The first name "'''Urist'''" is generally accepted in the DF community as "the" generic dwarven name, and often used as a reference name if someone talks about a dwarf and doesn't have (or want to bother with) an actual name. This name is often, if not always, linked with a last name of 'Mc______'*, that includes some trait or his job.

::''(* probably because dwarfs are "known" to have a Scottish accent)''

For Example:
:Urist McMiner can't find his pick!
:It's time for Urist McUselessNoble to have an [[unfortunate accident]].
:Urist McStupid dodged into the magma.

Urist is the dwarvish word for "dagger".

The origin of the name's popularity seems to be the tale "[http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=15572.0 One Dwarf Against the World]," a well-received narrative style account of a hermit fortress played in the 2D version. That dwarf's full name was Urist Borushdumat (Raked-Roughness). Despite that dwarf having been female, the name is used for either gender of generic dwarf.

At least according to the [[catsplosion]] page (not officially), '''urist''' is also the tongue-in-cheek term for the [[temperature]] units used by ToadyOne in DF.

v0.31:Trap

Aescula: Rated article "Exceptional" using the rating script

{{quality|Exceptional|08:00, 22 May 2010 (UTC)}}{{av}}

'''Traps''' are a comparatively quick and easy method for defending a fortress. Unlike {{L|soldier}}s, they're always on duty, and, once set up, need less management. On the other hand, they are immobile and can only lie in wait for foes to walk over them. To build a trap, go to the {{k|b}}uild->{{k|T}}raps/Levers menu. You'll generally need one {{L|mechanism}}, a dwarf with the {{L|mechanic}} labor designated (ranks in this {{L|skill}} reduce the time to place a trap), and at least one other component depending on the type of trap - a stone, a cage, or one or more weapons. They can be built indoors or outdoors, and require a level ground square with no other constructions in them.

Stone-fall, weapon and cage traps will be triggered by most hostile entities entering their tile, with the possible exception of {{L|thief|thieves}}, flying creatures and other occasional nasty surprises.

Note that only dwarfs with the mechanic labor enabled will reload traps (cage, stone or weapon). In combat situations, {{L|Mechanic}}s have a nasty habit of wanting to reload (or clean) traps when they are triggered, regardless of who or what might be out there as well. {{L|Forbid}}ding traps after they are built will keep [[Urist|Urist McSuicide]] from deciding to reload a trap in the middle of a {{L|siege}}. Just remember to unforbid them when things calm down, so the traps are all ready for next time. Note that forbidding a trap after it has been triggered doesn't help, as the job to refill the trap has already been issued in that case, so a Mechanic will carry a stone out to the trap anyway. Alternatively, simply order your dwarves to stay within a safe {{L|burrow}} until any threats have been dealt with.

==Stone-fall Trap==
The simplest trap to construct, a stone-fall trap is essentially a {{L|stone}} suspended up in the air which is dropped on intruders when the trap is triggered. These are a popular defensive measure early on, as the components needed are readily available as soon as you start mining. A single stone trap will usually '''not''' severely wound or kill most animals and enemies, to the extent that this may be a bug. After being used they need to be reloaded with another stone by any {{L|dwarf}} with {{L|mechanic}} {{L|skill}} enabled, a task which your dwarves will see to automatically. The dwarf will generally not use the stone that just dropped, but a new one (would you want to put your hands on that gory mess?). Being that stonefall traps do not alert you of ambushes when triggered by hidden invaders{{verify}}, this can frequently lead your mechanics into peril.

:*Shortcut {{k|b}} {{k|T}} {{k|s}}
:*Components used: {{L|mechanism}} and an ordinary {{L|stone}}

==Weapon Trap==
Weapon traps are similar in nature to stone-fall traps, and are triggered when any hostile creature stands on the trap. They tend to be a much more reliable trap for outright killing or critically injuring invading creatures. Before you write off stone-fall traps as worse versions of weapon traps, it's important to note that weapon traps require you to have previously made {{L|Weapon}}s to put inside the trap, making them more of an option somewhat later in the game. Any weapon can be used, including human ones, bows, traded weapons and presents from goblins, as well as specialist "trap only" weapons. (Think of it as fair retribution when goblins are sliced in pieces by their own axes!)

The specialist weapons can be built in 3 workshops:

{{L|Metalsmith's forge}} (menacing <metal> spike / large, serrated <metal> disc / spiked <metal> ball / enormous <metal> corkscrew / giant <metal> axe blade)

or

{{L|Carpenter's workshop}} (menacing <wooden> spike / spiked <wooden> ball / enormous <wooden> corkscrew)

or

{{L|Glass furnace}} (menacing <glass> spike / large, serrated <glass> disc / spiked <glass> ball / enormous <glass> corkscrew / giant <glass> axe blade)

Don't know which to make? -> '''Detailed {{L|Trap component}} information'''

These weapons have all the material property advantages and disadvantages that normal weapons have. It should be noted that the trap weapons are larger than normal dwarf weapons meaning they should be more effective in the new combat system than normal weapons made of equivalent materials (this is all subject to change in future revisions of the combat system). When triggered, this trap will "attack" the creature with all the weapons available to it, normally doing massive damage.

Weapon traps do not cause slightly suicidal mechanics to reset them after each triggering but instead reset automatically in a period of time (unknown time period). However it is possible for the traps to jam when the unfortunate victim gets stuck in the mechanism (use "t" to check the trap) but the body can be removed by a dwarf. When the trap jams, the mechanic will automatically attempt to clean it, so forbidding the body may be necessary to save him from the victim's friends.

When placing the trap you will be asked for a type of mechanism as normal, then asked to select weapons to use. At this point you will get a list of all stockpiled weapons in your fortress. +- will select different weapons and pressing "Enter/Return" adds 1 of the selected weapon to the trap. Up to 10 weapons can be put in each trap and all weapons in the trap will attack at once when it is triggered(10 large serrated disks normally results in the unfortunate triggering creature leaving with less limbs than it came in with). When happy with your weapon selection press "d" to set the trap.

It also appears that there's a chance that invaders may dodge the traps...

:*Shortcut {{k|b}} {{k|T}} {{k|w}}
:*Components used: {{L|mechanism}} and between 1 and 10 weapons.

==Cage Trap==
Cage traps are different to the other trap types in that they do not directly kill or injure invaders. Instead, they capture the unfortunate creature that triggers them in a {{L|cage}}. Despite the lack of violence, this is still very effective as it completely neutralizes the target so that they can be dealt with later. After a creature is captured, it's stored in an animal {{L|stockpile}}. The trap must then be reset by hauling an empty cage to the traps location (this is automated). '''Most''' captured creatures do not require any nourishment and will survive being in a cage indefinitely (submerging them in water also appears to have no effect on the captured creature). Cage traps will also alert you to ambushes when triggered by hidden invaders, making them a useful forward defense mechanism.

It is possible for dwarves to bring {{L|water}} to cages, but this will only occur if you have someone friendly also locked in the cage - like a dwarf child snatched by a goblin. In this case remove the poor fellow using the goblin's inventory screen.

'''Cage traps cannot capture every creature in the game''', so you will need alternative defenses.

Cage traps are also useful for catching animals. This can be done by simply placing traps in areas where wild animals roam (this does '''not''' require a dwarf with the {{L|Trapping}} labor enabled). The captured animals can be used to fuel your meat industry, or can be tamed (and sometimes trained into war animals!) at the {{L|kennel|kennels}}. Note that many animals require the presence of the dungeon master to be tamable.

:*Shortcut {{k|b}} {{k|T}} {{k|c}}
:*Components used: {{L|mechanism}} and a {{L|cage}}.
:*If the trap is a Dark Green, then it does not have a cage in it.
:*If the trap is a Light Green, Then it does have a cage in it.

==Upright Spear/Spike==

A variation of the weapon trap, the Upright Spear/Spike itself requires no mechanisms, and can be fitted with up to 10 {{L|Weapon|spears}} or {{L|Trap component|spikes}}. However, it requires an external trigger to actually impale things. Either a {{L|pressure plate}} or a {{L|lever}} must be connected to this trap for it to be operated. The advantage of this trap is it doesn't require a Mechanic to set it up - just to link it to a trigger.

:*Shortcut {{k|b}} {{k|T}} {{k|S}}
:*Components used: between 1 and 10 spears or spikes.

==Other Traps==
You can create even more elaborate traps with imaginative use of pits, {{L|pressure plate}}s, {{L|lever}}s, {{L|grate}}s, {{L|support}}s, {{L|water}}, and/or {{L|magma}}, creating sacrificial altars (blood for the Blood God!) and whatever else you can think of. Watching those goblins try to find a way out of your drowning chamber as it begins to fill is really quite satisfying. These are best made in a large, repeatable mass killing, way. If you make a trap that kills 10 or so goblins, that only works once and you have to rebuild it, wasting time you don't have during a {{L|siege}}, you're not trying hard enough.

'''Bridges''' are extremely useful buildings for crossing dangerous terrain and also for fortress defence. Using them to control [[flow|fluids]] can save one a ton of mechanisms and time, especially when the fluid in question is free-flowing and not pressurized (by pump, river or hydrostatic anything) and needs a wide tunnel.

==Building Bridges==

Bridges can be built ({{k|b}} -> {{k|g}}) of metal, stone or wood. They are first designed by an architect, then require a specialist worker for the material used (e.g. a mason for a stone bridge). The size of the bridge can be altered with {{k|u}}{{k|m}}{{k|k}}{{k|h}} while placing it. The bridge must be anchored to a solid surface on at least one edge. Before placing the bridge ensure that the bridge raises in the direction you want it to using {{k|w}}{{k|a}}{{k|d}}{{k|x}} or retracts using {{k|s}}.

==Raising/Retracting Bridges==

All bridges in DF can be raised or retracted by linking it to a {{L|lever}}. This requires a mechanics workshop and a dwarf with a the mechanic labour activated.

If a bridge is set to retract when the lever is pulled, the bridge essentially disappears dropping anything (friend, foe, or object) on the bridge onto whatever is underneath. Clearly this can be used to drop your enemies to rocky/watery/fiery deaths (or anything more imaginative you can think up!).

If a bridge is set to raise when the lever is pulled, the bridge becomes a wall along the edge selected with the {{k|w}}{{k|a}}{{k|d}}{{k|x}} keys when placing the bridge. The resulting wall is always one z-level tall, regardless of the width of the bridge. The bridge also "moves" to this position very fast, firing anything on the bridge into the air. The key advantage to raising bridges is the creation of a wall when the bridge is raised. This can be used to block fortress entrances/corridors. Using 2 bridges at opposite ends of a corridor creates a very large and simple trap by walling in enemies.

The lowering of a drawbridge can also be used as a waste disposal for unwanted stones, refuse, goblins (dead or alive) and nobles, to name a few. Even fluids get destroyed (this is especially useful considering lack of chasms in the new version). However, lowering a drawbridge onto a sufficiently large creature (such as a {{L|forgotten beast}}) simply destroys the bridge.

==Bugs==

Retractable bridges (possibly raising bridges, but this is untested) will not retract when a mounted unit (a unit riding another) is on the bridge. Attempting to do so will create odd results if multiple bridges are connected to the same lever[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mS5f_Snz-Y8].

It is impossible to channel out stone that is directly under a raiseable bridge when its in the raised position.

Non-[[magma-safe]] bridge will heat up and eventually melt if a tile, which would be normally part of a lowered bridge gets covered in magma. State of the bridge (raised/lowered) doesn't matter, if it's within the bridge's rectangle, it endangers the whole bridge.

A '''lever''' is a {{L|mechanism}} that has been constructed on an empty tile. Once in place, it can be linked to one or more other devices such as {{L|door}}s, {{L|bridge}}s or {{L|support}}s, permitting you to control these other devices by ordering the lever pulled through its {{k|q}} menu.

{{quality|Exceptional|08:00, 22 May 2010 (UTC)}}{{av}}

'''Value''' is determined by the base value of the object with multipliers for the material it is made out of, the {{L|quality}} of its creation, and any {{L|decoration}}s on it.

The '''final value''' of an item multiplies the '''base value''' of the form of the object (a stone, a statue) by the '''material multiplier''' (granite, gold), and by the '''quality modifier''' (fine, masterful) if any, and then adding any final value for '''decorations'''.

==Base values of items==
The '''base value''' of an item is determined by the item itself, not what it is made out of. For example, a wood block uses the base value for a block, not the multiplier for 'wooden', and a block of gold ore or any other material would use the ''same'' '''base value''', for a "block". In both cases, the '''final value''' is then multiplied by the {{L|material}} and/or the {{L|quality}} multiplier(s), if appropriate.

'''Mechanisms''' are created by a {{L|mechanic}} at a {{L|mechanic's workshop}} out of a stone. They can also be created at a {{L|forge}} from a bar (or {{L|Adamantine|3 wafers}}) of the same {{L|Metal#Weapon & Armor Quality|metals}} that weapons can be made from. Building {{L|trap}}s, {{L|lever}}s, {{L|pressure plate}}s, and {{L|gear assembly|gear assemblies}} requires one mechanism. Linking objects to a lever or pressure plate requires two mechanisms per linked item (one for the object, one for the lever). If you want to ever recover those mechanisms you need to deconstruct both the linked object and the lever.

It is a {{L|mechanic}}'s job to install mechanisms. Mechanisms can be linked to objects at any distance.

Mechanisms make surprisingly good {{L|trade}} items, due to their high {{L|item value|base value}} of 30, but are heavy compared to {{L|craft}}s and so may not be a good trade good if {{L|wagon}}s can't access your {{L|trade depot}}, though this remains moot at the moment as caravans currently don't come with a wagon (confirmed bug). Since their value is higher than that of a {{L|statue}}, {{L|lever}}s and {{L|gear assembly|gear assemblies}} make good alternative room decorations.

Since mechanisms count as furniture, the jeweler's workshop action ''encrust furniture with [gem]'' can encrust mechanisms with gems instead of actual furniture.

High-quality mechanisms improve the accuracy of their traps, as stated by Toady [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=14461.msg131214#msg131214 here]. This means traps with more than one weapon or weapons that strike multiple times (namely the {{L|large serrated disc}} and {{L|spiked ball}}) will benefit more from high-quality mechanisms. This is increasingly important due to the reduced damage dealt by traps in 0.31.

A mechanism's quality has no effect on how quickly it operates.

Mechanisms for use with magma must be {{L|magma safe}}, otherwise they will melt and cause the object to which they were linked to deconstruct.

v0.31 Talk:Raw adamantine

2010-05-26T08:16:44Z

Aescula: stupid computer, logging me out...

Uh oh! I don't know what happened, but the stonelookup template got messed with here, when I used the Rater! I never understood the Stonelookup template anyway, anyone know how to fix? --[[User:Aescula|Aescula]] 08:16, 26 May 2010 (UTC) (I know, an admin without knowledge of what happened, but... Yeah.)
==Confirmation?==
I verified all things I added a while ago using reveal on several random embark locations, further I checked the values of material multipliers. Adamantine is magma proof, also tried that out. The other information is easily confirmed by screens. Should I add those? I reverted the edit, for the information is almost certainly correct. Just try it yourself.[[User:BBW|BBW]] 00:01, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
:In that case, my apologies. I was misinformed. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 00:23, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

== Down-stairs? ==

Can down-stairs prevent the demons from getting though? --[[User:Tarran|Tarran]]
:Unlikely - even in 40d, down-stairs above open space were enough to let Spirits of Fire through. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 23:34, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
::Well, I'm pretty sure clowns are now randomly generated, but even if you get lucky and none of them can fly, they can still barf webs/fire/radioactive elves/whatever up through the stairwell. I'd recommend a good, sturdy wall. --[[User:Mr Frog|Mr Frog]] 23:21, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

== Outdated Picture ==

Really minor detail, but the image on the page is from 40d, which isn't really accurate for this version's article. Could someone take a similar screenie of the 0.31.01 [[magma sea]] pillars? I'd do it myself, but I've already found a pillar in my current fortress and I really don't feel like probing around for another one (assuming there even IS another one in there). Sorry for nitpicking. --[[User:Mr Frog|Mr Frog]] 23:11, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
:The message is exactly the same, but I see what you're getting at - I'm going to leave that screenie but go find another of the pillars to insert a little later. --[[User:Retro|Retro]] 02:45, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
::Could that second image be a little larger in the original, and then get thumbed? Some detail is lost, and it'd be nice to see it "full size", as an option (as is w/ the announcement image - but no detail was lost in that, natch.) Oh - and a quick footnote comment/explanation about how that image was achieved would be nice too - keeps newbies from going crazy w/ the vanilla game. --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 09:15, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
:::Absolutely; I didn't realize there was an auto-thumbnailing function thing until I had already shrunken it myself. I'll go and recapture the image and then add the relevant details on how it was done later tonight. --[[User:Retro|Retro]] 21:27, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

== Best Weapons ==
The part of the article that says "and weapons and armor made from it are very likely among the best possible" is wrong, isn't it? I thought since the material re-write, adamantine made the worst weapons in the game due to their low weight, and thus low force of impact. At the very least, the make terrible hammers and maces now, don't they? --[[Special:Contributions/130.184.250.29|130.184.250.29]] 23:10, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
*They are still better than all the other materials (with the possible exception of slade) even due its low weight. Maybe its weapons aren't as strong as before but they are still better than steel.--[[User:Niggy|Niggy]] 16:45, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

== Safe mining? ==
I just had an idea if you did not want to breach HFS, what if you just dig down to lower levels of the tube and carve fortifications? The only danger is ranged attacks from within. And you could be confident that those levels at and above are safe. --[[User:Tarran|Tarran]] 18:46, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
:The issue is that you don't know where HFS starts - even if you knew where it was, there's a chance that on the way there you'd accidentally pierce a hollow part of the tube and invoke Hell's wrath before you were prepared. If you carve fortifications into the adamantine walls, it only defends you against semi-molten rock. --[[User:Retro|Retro]] 18:51, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
:Given the actual layout, that could be infeasible - the actual wall around the tube is only 1 tile thick in most places, and the tube itself is usually surrounded either by semi-molten rock (which cannot be mined) or magma (which could be rather problematic to remove); thus, while you could certainly try to carve fortifications, there'd still be the problem of getting into a position from which to carve them. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 18:53, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
::I'm Talking about tubes that extend past the magma sea, and it's not that much of a problem to dig around the whole vein level... Right?. --[[User:Tarran|Tarran]] 18:58, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
:::Not all of them actually extend that far beyond the magma, and it's entirely possible (and quite likely) that the hollow part will be within the magma or molten rock. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 19:03, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
::::What I'm trying to say is that if you use fortifications then you could figure out which levels ''above'' the magma sea are safe, the levels at or below it still require military. --[[User:Tarran|Tarran]] 19:12, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::Ah, I see - assumed you were talking about deeper levels. Well, that'd make sense for levels above the magma sea certainly, though I don't think it's that likely that above the sea you'd dig into HFS. Mildly practical but certainly no trouble. --[[User:Retro|Retro]] 21:23, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

v0.31:Megabeast

2010-05-25T09:10:52Z

Aescula:

{{av}}{{Quality|Tattered}}

Mighty creatures that attack your fortress. When one enters your area, the game will announce its presence and its name.

The type of megabeast appears to be random, but the timing may not be. A certain wealth or a population of around 100 may trigger one.Verify Force-quitting and loading a fortress from a few days before a megabeast attack may result in a different one arriving on the same day, depending on what has survived world generation.

Included in this [[:Category:Megabeasts|category]] are the {{L|Bronze colossus}}, {{L|Dragon}}, {{L|Hydra}}, and {{L|Titan}}.

Megabeasts in DF2010 are invincible in world generation, so the old world generation stopping at such-and-such percent of megabeasts dead is no longer, although the option exists.

They also can be completely randomly generated, though this may just be titans.
