Nope! I'm talking about using lakes, mid-size or even larger ones to do the job. I know water is necessary to grow grass and crops, and I figures this was why any water was being "drained" instead of simply spreading out and just staying thin. But wow, it doesn't take much spreading out for this water to drain. Disappointing, so I'm experimenting using both raw stone and block stone to line the walls of my moat. And no, I'm pretty much building it all at once. I guess I should try doing it little-by-little to see if that helps somehow.

Does anyone know if a moat built with stone walls/floor or any other material other than dirt will keep the water from being drained? I know soil won't do. I also know a moat isn't very necessary and kind of pointless, but hey, I want one anyway.

More water would definitely be better! Any time I try to create a moat, even a small one from a lake with a deep reservoir of water, it soon runs dry feeding the soil running along the moat. I wonder if I could solve that problem by replacing the walls and flooring in the moat with some stone material? I don't know if it's just dirt that sucks it up or not, but probably... I imagine if the game is realistic, a log or wood floor/wall would not hold the water either.

So this has been mentioned already, but I thought it would be good to report a bug in case it gets looked over from others posting about it. The dressers! Gnomes will be drawn to them for no reason I can figure out (they're not really hauling them or doing much of anything) and just get stuck. It takes a full day for a gnome "stuck" to a dresser to move even a few spaces, and it seems they're always trying to go about their duties... but the fact that any gnome at all would be drawn to a dresser that's not even in their path is so very odd. The only way I've foudn to get a gnome to get untuck from a dresser is to assign them a military position in which they have to drop everything and take up a weapon and/or armor, thereby ignoring the dresser, but then another gnome promptly takes the last one's place, getting stuck. What a headache.

bruaagghh @ Gnomoria v0.8.10 is released

That's simple. If you haven't figured it out by now, just go to the top of your Desura bar or screen or whatever, and click on 'Play.' Select the game Gnomoria, and if it has a curvey arrow next to the game, that should mean it's ready to update.
You can double-click to have it prompt you to update before playing, or right-click to go through a menu and manually choose to do it.

Nice! Sometimes charity does pay off, huh? Congratulation for him for winning the role!

I know one specific thing you can avoid, or try to. It can be difficult though. If you click on someone just before they die, and they then die while you're in the menu (a mere second will pass in-between the time you click on the gnome and the time the window pops up, which is sometimes just enough time before the game pauses itself before popping up the menu), it'll look as if your gnome is still alive, showing the status of your gnome, though your gnome is dead on the ground. This will ALWAYS freeze your game. At least, it does it for me.

Well, ya know what they say... art isn't truly admired until it's copied, right? Hehe... and doesn't everything get copied, eventually? I'm sure some enough people prefer one or the other, so both can exist. But now I'm curious... what are some other clones that exist? I found this game, then I heard of Dwarf Fortress's existence. Didn't know others like it existed.

Unfortunately, you can't manually do that. You have to let your gnomes do that for you, and really, truly hope that they're smart enough to put them where they should go. The one thing you can do to help you in this task is to limit the max amount of containers you need for any stockpile. By default, you will have the max amount be the amount of tiles the stockpile takes up, so a 2x8 space will set automatically to 16 tiles. If you don't set that to, say... 2 or 3 instead, you gnomes may want to put about 12 to 16 crates/barrels/bags there and leave you nothing for anything else. You may only use one of those containers, but the gnomes are stupid like that.

I'm really hoping some updates come out to make the stockpiles/containers/work orders and having to set and re-set the importance of such much easier and more intuitive, so the gnomes can do some guesswork instead of you having to always herd the sheep along.

Also, just as a side note in case you're newer to the game: you won't need containers for dirt, clay, or ore. That stuff you can gather 64 of in each tile without a container, so it's not even worth designating a container over.

I was having what I think was a similar problem. They just released not only a new version available to Desura, but they completely revamped their look from a pixelated sprite to a fully 3D-rendered version, so maybe it will help to go to the forums to download the files to get that version of the game. Hopefully that will fix your problem?

Heh, nevermind. I didn't realize you had to go under the official PZ forum to get the newest files to go with the latest updates... new animations and whatnot.

That must have taken a VERY long time to build, let alone plan around the environment.

Do you know that to save, you hit F4? It took me a while before figure that out. If you do know the keyboard commands (another handy one is ctrl+ and ctrl- to zoom in and out, useful for when you have a bigger village or complicated mine operation going on), then I guess the problem rests elsewhere? I know with several games on Desura, I'm having issues downloading the newer versions. This has recently become one of them, though all previous versions worked fine.

Oh, and if you purchased the alpha version, it's possible that Desura is still running the demo version. You can correct that by clicking on PLAY above, then right-clicking Gnomoria and then click version, then set it from Demo to Alpha.

Hopefully this helps in some way.

I bought the Alpha version when this game was still in its very early stages. I have updated it once since, seeing some changes, but future updates seem to have had no effect. I installed version 5.0, but when I try to play, it looks and plays exactly the same as the one and only successful update I received, so there is definitely a problem here. Does anyone know what the problem is here? Why am I stuck on a very early version of the Alpha?
