#Dwarf fortress modtools upgrade

Input options says Print screen takes one, but can't find anything about where they go. I was going to post screen shots, but I can't find where they are saved. You have to start thinking further ahead in your planning and setting goals for your town. The game changes at around that point, it goes from being just trying to survive the winter to trying to grow and make your people happy and healthy, while maintaining a positive birthrate, and not over expanding yourself to death. To the people saying once you hit 50-60 pop, you're done, couldn't be more wrong. Seems pretty tough to keep a rising population once you get into the 50-60 range, you pretty much have to take in nomads. Deaths were all from old age or mining accidents. I was at 150 pop after taking in 20 nomads, I'm already down to 140 just a year or two later. The 20'ish kids/students I've been hovering around isn't cutting it anymore. Make sure you have a hospital before you take nomads in. Had a few disease outbreaks, no deaths, though. Wasn't all bad though, because I wanted to redo that section of town anyways. Missed my market, which would have really hurt. So far I've had a couple close calls, 2 fires, one of which took out a storage barn filled with food and firewood, 5 - 6 houses, forrester, and hunters lodge, and a wood cutter.

Currently trying to upgrade all the wooden houses to stone (anyone know if that reduces risk of fires?). I have stupid amounts of food, around 25k, hovering around 300-500 firewood year round with about 1k logs, and I don't usually have much of a stone/iron stockpile due to using it constantly. I'm currently sitting at ~140/20/20 on my 2nd town on hard, year 45. The only homes which could be considered centralized are the homes for your vendors and other people who might have a job near the market, like a teacher, priest, or doctor. Your citizens do a pretty good job moving into the nearest unoccupied house near their work, if you build it, they will come, even if they already have a home, they'll move. Place your housing near where people will work. I've already got a few easy ones, like having the entire town with max happiness/health, and having every type of food.Ĭentralized housing is definitely NOT the way to go. Right now I'm shooting for the 300 pop achievement. I was at around 60 pop and was thinking, what now? Then I looked at the achievements and it gave me all kinds of goals to shoot for.

Those of you who are getting bored should look at the achievements and shoot for them. I am gonna try and build a town hall and see if I can get some immigrants to come in and bolster my population, but after that it's time for a new town.

I don't think I'll ever be in danger of total collapse, unless some tornado or another fire comes in and wrecks my shit, but I'm fairly certain expansion would just be way too hard for this current town. I need to have a bunch of people on hunting and foresting to produce leather and lumber which are always short. I guess I can shut down one or two of my food producers, probably fishing and gathering, but that only frees up 2 or 3 people. Between my Squash, Cabbage, chickens, gatherer, huntsman and fisherman I'm raking in 5k food surplus easy, but my labor is stretched so thin I never have enough people left over for the mines or quarry which have lousy production even with 4 or 5 people. Herbalist as well is coming up very short for some reason barely have any medicine when just a few years ago I had nearly 100 from them. Population is hovering at 30 +/- 4 for the last 6 years, I'm at year like year 15 now, and it's hurting me now with constant shortfalls in lumber, iron and stone due to lack of labor. Think I hit the wall with my first settlement.
