Wahnsinniger:

Sorry for so many edits. I was testing out the wiki interface and I want the Girdertrampled page to look awesome.[[User:Aluminus|Aluminus]] 23:33, 8 June 2008 (EDT)

I haven't checked out all the chapters, but apparently the fortress is dead. It could be revived with a successful Reclaiming perhaps? (I'd do it and post a chapter, but don't feel myself in the position to be doing that right now) --[[User:Wahnsinniger|Wahnsinniger]] 09:49, 7 September 2008 (EDT)

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

How do I jump off cliffs in adventure mode? --[[User:Keizo|Keizo]]

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

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

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

Wahnsinniger: Combat Logs

There's some people reporting problems in this thread: http://www.bay12games.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=2&t=001158 --[[User:BahamutZERO|BahamutZERO]] 15:22, 29 October 2007 (EDT)

The new version is out now! Update the main page! ~~

== Accounts had to be wiped ==

It's out!
It's out!
Rejoice!
By the way, my account is nonexistent, could you fix that?
--[[User:Smoking Gnu|Smoking Gnu]] 19:37, 29 October 2007 (EDT)

:You'll have to recreate it. --[[User:Peristarkawan|Peristarkawan]] 19:42, 29 October 2007 (EDT)
:My user account didn't turn up? :( --[[User:Markavian|Markavian]] 20:05, 29 October 2007 (EDT)
::Quoted from Senso (the wiki admin) on the forums:
::"I've tried importing the user accounts but since I've upgraded to a new version of MediaWiki, it doesn't work. They've made changes, whatever.
::
::So yeah, please recreate your account. It's sad, I know BUT LIFE IS SAD AND GLOOMY. You'll all forget about it once the new version is released."
::No big deal. --[[User:Janus|Janus]] 20:31, 29 October 2007 (EDT)
::Wow, the images during registration are ridiculous. Took me half a dozen until I could recognise more than half of it. --[[User:Ravana|Ravana]] 23:32, 29 October 2007 (EDT)

:::-Yeah, that CAPTCHA was nearly impossible, took over 50 trys to get in. :) Anyways, it's better than SPAMFEST for sure. ;) --[[User:UltimaPhantom|UltimaPhantom]] 01:52, 9 November 2007 (EST)
::::Yeah sorry about that but it's either crappy CAPTCHA or SPAMFEST, I had to pick. --[[User:Senso|Senso]] 22:47, 31 October 2007 (EDT)

== Change guide? ==

Was just thinking, perhaps one of the links (or sections) on the main page should be a guide to the major changes between last version and this one. Yes, a TON of stuff has changed, but a lot also has not, and a lot of the core concepts are the same... so I would imagine many of us who have played the previous version(s) would love a section where we can see a list of new basics we have to learn, along with links to those things' individual pages... like, z-axis (obviously), mechanisms, fluid dynamics, nobles, elevation/slope, farming... you get the idea. --[[User:Cliffjeff|Cliffjeff]] 11:43, 30 October 2007 (EDT)
:Yea, I'm thinking not. Isn't the whole point of DF finding things out on your own? "Losing is Fun" and all that. Ok, so if we summarized all the changes, and someone (like me) didn't want to know we could not just not look at it right? What can I say? I'M WEAK! If we summarize the changes I will CONSUME it! (I'm only here because I still have another 6 hours of work before I can go home and try it!)
::Meanwhile, I'm lazy and stubborn and would love a consolidated list of only new things I need to know =p and I'm also trapped at work and unable to mess around in the game :( but if the whole point was finding out things on your own, why would we have a wiki? ;p --[[User:Cliffjeff|Cliffjeff]] 15:58, 30 October 2007 (EDT)
:::I agree, I think the change guide is a good idea, and it would also help us direct our attention at the articles that are likely to need the most work. --[[User:Peristarkawan|Peristarkawan]] 16:01, 30 October 2007 (EDT)
::::It ought not to be very hard to generate a basic change guide based on the official change notes, and then update it as the details are discovered. --[[User:Bobson|Bobson]] 16:26, 30 October 2007 (EDT)
:::A change guide 'page' might be useful pointing out major differences but I think the style of the wiki should be aimed at new users who know nothing of previous versions. I think we should not compare old/vs new as a rule, but if necessary we should include comparisons at the bottom of a page as apposed to the main article. That is how I am writing my edits. --[[User:Markavian|Markavian]] 23:26, 31 October 2007 (EDT)

== Basic Format ==
I think the [[Farming]] page is a good format for most of the key pages, perhaps the structure from the archive should be followed. --[[User:Infinity|Infinity]] 05:56, 31 October 2007 (EDT)
:Agreed, I've tried to copy this style on several pages, e.g. [[Gear Assembly]]. --[[User:Markavian|Markavian]] 23:30, 31 October 2007 (EDT)
I would like to add a request for a 'build tree' of sorts. It would, for example, make figuring out how to get iron bars a whole lot less frustrating. --[[User:Dogcow|Dogcow]] 17:18, 1 November 2007 (EDT)
:Hello, I've added a whole page on the various metals you can make now. This is my first time editing a wiki so feel free to make corrections for me if you want, just leave me a message on the page letting me know where I went wrong. Also, since some Alloys involve smelting 3 bars of metal now, I have included a new template called Alloy3 to display these. I'm not sure on the colors though so have at it where I'm off :) --[[User:Chthon|Chthon]] 11:33, 3 November 2007 (EDT)

== Fresh start ==
Hey, I just wanted to say... starting afresh for me seems to be the right move. So much has changed (I remember a focus on 'farming' and 'irrigation' before) that it just makes sense to start from a clean sheet. We've got 10 months of work to catch up on, good luck every one! --[[User:Markavian|Markavian]]

:I agree. It's also a lot of fun to go "hey, I found out something for myself! Is there a wiki page on it yet?" and adding stuff. Or wandering about the wiki and going "what's missing? Can I fill in the informational gap?"--[[User:Draco18s|Draco18s]] 17:32, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

Just a thought, but how do people feel about adding date released on the frontpage along with the version number? --[[User:Qalnor|Qalnor]]

== Importing old entries ==

What's the stance on importing entries from the old wiki for stuff like general item stats? Most of them are still correct (or nearly so) and it would be nice not to have to switch between this and the old wiki any more. I can add a disclaimer to them stating I pulled them from the archives if that's appropriate. --[[User:Xazak|Xazak]] 15:07, 2 November 2007 (EDT)
:IMO (and I'm not admin or anything) it should be ok but only if you are 100% sure EVERYTHING is correct, and have verified it personally. I've edited at least one article someone copy-pasted with no changes that had old info in it so far and it makes me sad. --[[User:BurnedToast|BurnedToast]] 15:38, 2 November 2007 (EDT)
::Yes, I second this. Please be diligent if you are going to import old information. Even if you can't do it yourself, at least categorize it as needing verification so someone with the free time can. --[[User:EighenIndemnis|EighenIndemnis]] 15:37, 6 November 2007 (EST)
:You could use [[Template:Verify]] to indicate that something needs confirmation in the new version. --[[User:Senso|Senso]] 15:47, 6 November 2007 (EST)

I have noticed an increase of pages in which only an old Wiki page is copied/pasted along with a warning that it was copied and thus may not be accurate. Is it just me or that's ''exactly'' what we didn't want to happen, and one of the reasons we started fresh with the new Wiki to begin with? --[[User:Eagle of Fire|Eagle of Fire]] 01:45, 9 November 2007 (EST)

== Demystify messages? ==

Probably against the spirit of 'losing is fun', but how about a page that explains smoe of the more cryptic messages, such as; 'job item misplaced' and 'job item lost or destroyed'? [[User:Runspotrun|Runspotrun]] 16:43, 8 November 2007 (EST)

Also, is there a suggestions pages? This probably isn't the best page to add ideas... [[User:Runspotrun|Runspotrun]] 16:44, 8 November 2007 (EST)

== Humor? ==
Any thoughts about possibly linking [[Main Page/Quote Archive]] page somewhere on the main page? Its an orphan at the moment and is pretty funny and relevant. [[User:Vanan|Vanan]] 15:19, 13 November 2007 (EST)

I'd like to be able to see that happen. New people coming here might get overwhelmed if we don't amuse them with some good humor here and there.--[[User:AlBorland|AlBorland]] 13:42, 20 November 2007 (EST)

== Combat Logs? ==
What about a section where people could post cool combat logs from adventurer mode. This would different from the "Stories" section, which is more prose. (This is 'cause I'd like to post the log of a battle I had with a particularly clumsy Giant, who slammed into a wall allowing me to stab him in the back of the head for the eventual win. Its no dragon-slaying tale, but I still think its good.) --[[User:Wahnsinniger|Wahnsinniger]] 11:59, 2 December 2007 (EST)

I've noticed that actual trades do not affect the Apprasial Skill. Instead, When the Broker actually goes to the depot when the Merchants are there, the skill increases. It seems like when I start a new fortress, if I use a dwarf without appraisal skill, he'll already have Dabbling Appraiser before I actually trade goods. Anyone else notice this? --[[User:Wahnsinniger|Wahnsinniger]] 12:58, 19 November 2007 (EST)

Someone should merge Gem cutting and Gem setting with Gem cutter and Gem setter. (I created Gem cutting and Gem setting from the Jeweler's Workshop before I noticed the other two pages, though Gem cutter and Gem setter don't have very much info). Also, someone should copy over alot of the Jeweling info from the old wiki version, since that had alot of information too. --[[User:Wahnsinniger|Wahnsinniger]] 12:47, 19 November 2007 (EST)

40d:Gem cutting

2007-11-19T17:45:28Z

Wahnsinniger: Revised a bit concerning Large Gems

Gem Cutting skill governs the speed of cutting Rough Gems into Cut Gems. Normal cut gems do not have a quality rating, so Gem Cutting cannot improve those. However, high Gem Cutting skill can improve the quality of any Large Gems that are created. It may also increase the chance of creating a Large Gem, though that is uncertain. (Any Verification?) Large Gems count as Finished Goods and have a base value of twice the value of a normal gem of the same type.

Gem Cutting is also used to turn raw glass into cut glass. This is an effective way to train gem cutting since rough gems are usually scarce.

40d Talk:Restraint

2007-11-19T17:30:57Z

Wahnsinniger:

How do you make ropes in the latest version?

You make ropes from Cloth(or silk) at a Clothier's Workshop. Once you've made a Rope, you build it as a Restraint from the building menu (b)->(v) --[[User:Wahnsinniger|Wahnsinniger]] 12:30, 19 November 2007 (EST)

40d:Restraint

2007-11-19T04:55:53Z

Wahnsinniger: Added note aboout Restraints being used in place of detaling.

A '''restraint''' is a [[chain]], [[rope]] or [[cage]] which is used to restrain a dwarf or other [[creature]]. Each type of restraint does its own thing. For example, the chain or rope can be used to keep a wardog near the front door, while the cage can be used as a [[jail]] for a rowdy dwarf.
[[Category:Furniture]]

If your fortress is above ground, or exists in a location without rock, ropes or bags sewn with images can be a way of recording your fortresses history instead of detailing. When Built as Restraints(or Containers, for bags), Dwarves can admire them, so they can function as makeshift Tapestries(until they are added in a future version)

'''Butchers''' do the dirty job of processing animal corpses and body parts for [[meat]], [[fat]], [[skin]], [[bone]]s, and a [[Skull|skull]] at the '''butcher's shop'''. They are also responsible for slaughtering livestock. Higher skill allows them to process corpses faster.

A '''gem cutter''' is a dwarf with a high profession level in cutting [[gem]]s. A high level of gem cutting allows a dwarf to cut gems faster and with better quality, making the cut gems more valuable.

A '''gem setter''' is a dwarf with a high profession level in setting [[gem]]s. A high level of gem setting allows a dwarf to set gems faster and with better quality, making the decorated goods more valuable.

40d:Gem

2007-11-19T04:43:13Z

Wahnsinniger: /* Value */ Rearranged Links.

Small clusters of '''gems''' can be found strewn throughout the fortress. Gems can used to [[encrust]] [[furniture]], [[craft goods]], [[weapon]]s, [[armor]] and [[ammunition]], to create [[window]]s and as a source material for [[legendary artifact|legendary artifacts]]. In addition, raw rock crystals are required to make crystal glass goods.

== Value ==

Gems have base [[item values|value]] of 3 in rough form, which is multiplied by appropriate value modifier from the table below. They gain value after they are cut in a [[jeweler's workshop]]. Cut gems have a base value of 5. Items can be decorated (encrusted) with cut gems; all such decorations have a value of 10 times the gem type's value multiplier. See [[Gem cutting]] and [[Gem setting]]

== Varieties ==

Gems come in many varieties, with their own color and value multipliers:

Diamonds are the only gems defined as vulnerable to heat. They ignite at 800°C (1440°F) and boil off at 3700°C (6700°F).

== Rare Gems ==

Colored diamonds only occur in clusters of faint yellow diamonds, and star sapphires and rubies only occur within clusters of their peers. Faint yellow diamonds only appear in Kimberlite (which itself only appears in Gabbro layers) and sapphires and rubies only appear in Bauxite (which occurs in any Sedimentary layers).

Like working [[metal]], making glass requires [[fuel]], either [[coke]] or [[charcoal]] at a normal glass furnace, or [[magma]] at a [[magma glass furnace]].

Glass has other uses than as a mere gem, as glass can be used as (a rather odd looking) stone for most buildings, such as Tables or Doors. In addition, Glass can be converted into [[Trap]] components, such as large, spiked balls or giant axes. Glass trap components have the same weapon damage as wood or silver (50%).

Glass windows can be made at a glass furnace as an alternative to making windows from gems.

Outside of Metal and Wood, Glass is the only readily available material to create Cages out of, as well.

40d:Quality

2007-11-19T04:37:30Z

Wahnsinniger: Just included Decorating/Encrusting in the list of things Quality affects.

All items in the game have a [[item value|base value]], which is multiplied by what [[material value|material]] the item is made of and by the item's '''quality'''. [[Decorations]] (such as bone, gems, and studding) further increase the value.

Item quality can have an effect on an item's properties, especially [[armor]] and [[weapons]].

__TOC__
== Quality grades ==

All crafted items ([[furniture]], [[armor]], [[bolts]], etc.) – but not intermediate materials ([[bars]], [[blocks]], etc. except [[cloth]], which does have quality levels) – are bracketed by characters that show the quality of their craftsdwarfship. Dyeing also has a quality level, as does Decorating/Encrusting (with gems, leathers, cloth, etc). Alcohol has a hidden quality that controls the amount of happiness a dwarf gets from drinking it. It is not known whether or not masterful alcohol can cause tantrums.

|}

When a masterful quality item is created, the game will announce, "<dwarf> has created a masterpiece!" Such a masterpiece will cause the dwarf that created it to [[tantrum]] for a year if it is ever lost or destroyed. Masterpiece meals can be eaten safely, although allowing the food to rot will cause a tantrum. Using up masterpiece bolts will not cause a tantrum either. Since legendary dwarves are most likely to be the ones creating masterpieces, keeping these creations safe should be high priority; tantruming legendary dwarves can be very difficult to subdue.

[[Artifact]] items have a unique name instead of bracketing symbols and are worth 120x base value. They have a higher combat modifier than Masterful items, although the specific modifier is unknown.

The fact that siege engines only hit things in their same z-level is probably going to change in a new version (or it may have already, I haven't checked the newest version that came out the 16th). Someone may want to make a note of it.

40d:Gem cutting

2007-11-19T04:08:35Z

Wahnsinniger: Added Gem Cutting

Gem Cutting skill governs the speed of cutting Rough Gems into Cut Gems. The skill doesn't affect any "gem quality", though it presumably increases the chance of creating a Large Gem. Large Gems count as Finished Goods and are worth twice as much as a normal Cut Gem.
