I normally have quite a long re-organising session spring/summer of the second year and then has minor tweaks to it occasionally. As a general rule of thumb, you should need about 1 farmer for every 15 dwarves. I can then see any dwarves that haven't been allocated a profession by just looking in therapist in the "has nickname" dropdown. The way I personally manage lots of dwarves is to give them all nicknames ("Miller Asen", "Weaver Urist") when I assign them a profession. Every time you have new migrants you probably want to assign / deassign labours - a beekeeper is not going to be as much help as say, a farmer early on. It very much depends on where you are in the game as to what you want doing - when you have 7 dwarves they're likely to have a few labours enabled - but when you have 70 dwarves, you probably want to be very specific. ![]() ![]() > What's the best approach to getting the everyday things (cooking, farming, basic crafting and the like) mostly automated? Check their interests, and either protect 'em or give 'em something to fight for. If that's the case, they might want to go to down below magma pumping duty, or be given the front row with the military, those guys with the cheap armour and the not very good weapons. If there are a lot of idling dwarfs, there can be another reason: You could have dwarfs who do not value hard work, or give up at the slightest difficulty, or somat similar. I'm told someone out there does the same thing with pumping: If they have a "useless" dwarf, he is made to pump and thus builds muscles and is useful if pumping ever needs to be done. Almost all of my useless dwarfs become engravers. If not, I usually stick him in the military, or give him a few jobs that don't require much skill - chopping wood and smoothing walls. If a dwarf arrives with particular useful skills, I leave them on him. If you want to be totalitarian about it, you can lock that dorf into the room the workshop is in with a door, and not let him out till he's done. If you want a particular dwarf on a particular job, you can give 'em their very own workshop with no one else allowed to use it, then fill that workshop with the job orders you're after. I check the list regularly to find out what jobs have been cancelled for whatever the reason is this time. I'm told that this would not be a workable method if I used burrows, but I never figured those out either, and my dwarfs are free range most of the time. I've never bothered with therapist, and I rarely use the Manager, but I still have all my dwarfs busy: I just do a sweep of the different workshops every quarter, and check they're all full up on the tasks I want them to do. One of the tweaks I've made to it is the switch to iron, but it bugs me not to know why was it there. is there any real difference between an iron and steel anvil? A post from around 2010-2011 said there isn't, but that was a long time ago and the craftlords embark containsĪ steel anvil. what are the significant population levels? I remember reading somewhere 80 being the limit after which some events can occur, are there any others? ![]() Generally how useful are they?Īt first glance I'd guess at the start manager is very important, bookkeper is nice to have. Just got to the point where I'm checking out what nobles do.Some esoteric manager rules, maybe therapist (if you use therapist, how good are the automatic assignment options)? What's the best approach to getting the everyday things (cooking, farming, basic crafting and the like) mostly automated? Shifting them around with migrants and urgent jobs I get lost pretty fast, half the dwarves dick around the meeting hall while the workshops are empty. I usually assign very strict labor orders (the mastered skills + hauling + the default healing/other categories). Each starter dwarf has 2-3 skills I've found useful, plus maybe an extra point in mining or the like. My embarks are based on disciplined craftlords, tweaked a bit every time I learn something new. I tend to get lost in job assignment, even with just ~30 population.Still, got two areas where I could use some insight from experienced players: I've just started playing Dwarf Fortress a few days ago, great game all around.Ĭovered the very first basics, managed to get some minimalist forts up and running. ![]() Mesh on the upper lets feet breathe on the go.

![]() ![]() Your EXPECTATIONS are the real reason you guys keep bickering. Now that you’re married, she finds out that he meant more like once a year as a treat for her birthday and she meant more like every other day. Maybe in premarital counseling, you both agreed that either of you had no problems cooking for the household. He expected that she would feel the same way he does about birthdays- it’s just another day, no big deal. She thought he would know to plan something for her birthday. You grew up with the couples around you calling each other dear and honey- you feel like that’s what marriage is about! This here kind of feels like you’re roommates or something. Now you’re 3 months in and she’s tossing your first name everywhere, across the house to get your attention and frankly, it’s jarring. Maybe you expected her to call you by sweet and “marriage-ish” nicknames once you got married. I have found that early marriage is made up of a whole lot of unexpected expectations as well as shattered expectations. I felt like I was right back to what I had escaped from LOL! When I found out that my new husband was of the “morning strength” clan. So, every Saturday when I woke up to clean out the pantry or refrigerator or something else, I would sulk and think to myself “when I grow up, I’ll finally sleep in on Saturdays!”Īnd I kind of did that….until I got married! This is her belief that things can be done faster and better if they are done early in the morning. Saturdays…were for cleaning!Īnd my mom had a particular belief that she called “morning strength”. You see, I grew up in a household where Saturdays were indeed NOT for taking it slow. Why does he keep nagging at me about “getting a head-start on the weekend” I mean, he sees me wake up early for work ALL week and darn it, Saturdays are for taking it slow right?

Switch that trips for no reasonĪnother symptom of a problematic fuel pump shut off switch is a switch that trips for no apparent reason. ![]() The fuel pump may be reactivated by finding and pressing the reset button for the switch. If the fuel pump shut off switch malfunctions while the engine is operating it may shut off the fuel pump and cause the engine to stall. One of the first symptoms of a potential issue with the fuel pump shut off switch is an engine that suddenly stalls while driving. Usually a bad or failing fuel pump shut off switch will produce a few symptoms that can alert the driver of a potential issue. As the switch has the capacity to shut off the fuel pump, issues with it can potentially lead to drivability and performance issues for the vehicle. The fuel pump switch is an electrical component, and just the same as the rest on the vehicle, over time it can wear out and develop issues. The switch will usually come with a reset button that will reactivate the fuel pump if the switch was tripped. In the event of an accident or collision, where it may be possible for fuel lines or hoses to become damaged, the fuel pump shut off switch will deactivate the fuel pump in order to stop flow and prevent fuel leaks from becoming a potential safety hazard. Commonly referred to as the inertia switch, the fuel pump shut off switch is designed to shut off the fuel pump when it is detected that the vehicle has come to an unusually sudden, or forceful stop.

First, they're the only two teams located in the Rocky Mountains. Andrew writes:Ī good argument can be made that the Jazz are the Nuggets' biggest rival. Our brother site Denver Stiffs wrote about which team they felt were the biggest rivals of their franchise ( Andrew Feinstein, Denver Stiffs, 2012). They shared a mountain, but the region was not big enough for the both of them. Basketball was alive and well, and these two teams seemed to be in a near constant struggle for dominance. This was not the same for the Nuggets, who went from being a team capable of winning 60 games in a season back in the ABA to being one that would finish the 1980s decade being no better or worse than the Jazz in that 40 to 50 win range.ĭan Issel, Kiki Vandeweghe, Calvin Natt, Alex English, Fat Lever, Adrian Dantley, Rickey Green, and of course John Stockton and Karl Malone were some of the biggest names in the mountains. The smaller market sting was one of the first shared challenges for both franchises.Īs a guy born in the 1970s I didn't really get into professional sports that much until the 1980s (I was too busy learning how to spell and do division and stuff like that than to claim being a "life long NBA fan" like some others.) The 80s were a period of relative stability for both clubs, the Jazz finally moved from being a team that would be in the 20s and 30s for wins in a season to one that would be winning 40 and 50 games a season. Both teams weren't as financially capable as the larger markets owned by richer people, so they would have to resort to 'renting' quality young players, or overpaying for stars past their prime. However, both teams shared colorful and larger than life coaches like Alex Hannum, Elgin Baylor, Larry Brown, Tom Nissalke, Donny Walsh, Frank Layden, and Doug Moe. While Denver was an up and down team that had a history of winning, Utah - who had previously only had the ABA Utah Stars - was a perennial cellar dweller. And three seasons went by before these two franchises on the other side of the country were right in each others' back year, as the New Orleans Jazz didn't move to Utah until 1979. Two seasons went by before these two franchises were in the same league, the ABA didn't dismantle until 1976. The Jazz didn't get started in the ABA, but were formed in 1974, the same year the Rockets became the Nuggets. Haywood was a player who years later would spend a season playing for the New Orleans Jazz. While they were still called the Denver Rockets back in 1967 they were powered by Spencer Haywood. The Denver Nuggets were one of the teams that graduated from the ABA to the NBA. We need to go back, before we go forwards. but for those still in the dark, you're going to have to wait a little more before I address it. That Game Five was a turning point for the series, and a huge growing up point for our players and fans and owners alike. I was worried about the team, but more than that, I was upset and angry at losing to the Denver Nuggets. Utah had three first round exists in the last few seasons which did not completely go away after making the Western Conference Finals two years earlier. ![]() The series turned then, and despite all the positive progress made by the team since I became a fan, the worries started to creep in again. That's when my Utah Jazz, despite just barely missing a sweep by losing Game 4 by 1 point, ended up losing Game 5 of the second round of the playoffs - at home - to the Denver Nuggets. One of the biggest moments in my life as a fan was when my head exploded when on May 17th, 1994. |
