I have a moody dwarf that can't find what they need, excepted that I have EVERYTHING.

They ask for a quarry / forest / shining bars of metal / rough gems / stacked cloth and leather

and I have A TON of all of that. For cloth I even have silk so I don't understand why they refuse to pick anything. I checked they preferences, they love silver while asking "shining metal bars", and I have silver so why?!

They gathered the logs and rough gem and stopped... He is part of my army and he will die, that's annoying.

EDIT : It's fixed now but it was clearly a bug. I created some random cloth plant with DFhack (pretty sure it's impossible to craft btw) while still having legit Pig tail cloth and he runned for the generated ones...

Literally yesterday I was telling someone that I'd never met a Forgotten Beast before. Today I start the game and 30 seconds later I receive the famous notification...

I guess my game will stop here, I don’t have enough population and a single squad so I don’t think I can defeat it.

However, I'm amused by it VERY paradoxical personality.
Dude said "I'm a nice guy, that's cool, but I still will kill you all."

ahhhh, why are they using everything else then the plump helmet to make alcohol, but then proceed to eat them even though i have stews ready.

I have some caged troglodytes placed on the surface and one of them gave birth to two babies which have appeared in unplaced cages on the ground in the area that their parents are.

The adults are in the grid and the babies are the one in the middle of the row of three and the one that's away from the others.

Each baby is in their own cage and it doesn't look like the cages have been cloned because neither of them share the same wood type+quality of the others

Has anyone seen this happen before?

(I am using two mods that I assume aren't related; one adds procedural civs with vanilla intelligent creatures and one that just makes gorlaks more common)

Basically while testing ways to dupe materials in an efficient way to do something even sillier, this happened.

I accepted a whole group of artists because I needed some hands, it’s the first time I see a non-animal (intelligent) creature !

Uncharacteristic, sure.

But is it truly wrong to elevate an Elf to the rank of baron in our Dwarven empire?

We represent the peoples of The Blockade of Fierceness. Yet we cannot decide if we are wrong to consider this.
He’s treated folks so well! Reelected for more than a decade of our fortress’ existence! He doesn’t mind getting down and dirty, working alongside our people in every trade and industry. Even going so far as to tear the wings off of an agitated raven that attacked a Dwarf child! He loves dresses and windows so much that somebody went and carved an image of cubic cubes above his coffin in his tomb to be! (Which I like to imagine represents the sand we’ve got to gather for his regular requests for windows) He never asks too much, only 1-3 dresses or windows a year!
He’s not one of those “hippy” Elves, who loves trees and flowers too much to chop or pick! And he loves a good drink and a rowdy party!

But would it be controversial to elevate him to baron?
He’s such a wonderful addition to the empire!
Something just feels wrong about it.. culturally..

(Please don’t ban me for posting twice in two days! The last one was just me crying, while this one is more of a poll of sentiments among our community!)

Vizier is an MCP server / LLM agent integration for Dwarf Fortress. Similar to Dwarf Therapist, it is intended as another way to read and understand your world and fort, but in this case through an LLM or local agent. It is not intended as a way to play the game and does not feature any way to interact - its just a handy query affordance.

So far I have mostly found it useful to query and understand my assigned labours and to understand some elements of the world that are otherwise quite hard to parse or see in standard DF's UI. This includes, for example, getting a list of the wounds after a bar fight or an easy insight into the musical instruments in my world.

It relies on DFHack's remote interface and, for the best functionality, the MCP server should be running on the same machine as your game. (More details in the README.)

Feedback, PRs, critiques greatly welcomed.

Not uneasy but still experiencing trauma lol

I was worried that this cyclops would cause some fun among my dwarves who had just finished their first month of training, but fortunately I'd taken the time to make Iron armor weapons + assign to each of them at least one war dog, that probably helped.

In the end, my dwarf won in 1vs1 against the cyclops, I'm proud of him and I expect him to become a great warrior !
