Moridin920 posted:what stops you from just doing overlapping embarks, the last column of the first embark is the first column of the next and so on. I think you can get it perfectly lined up like that. Otherwise in the latest version I'm pretty sure only paved roads can be built right up to the map edge. IIRC embarking turns the area into a site, and in vanilla you can't have any areas of a new embark overlapping with existing sites. Should be no problem if you use an 'embark anywhere' hack, though.

I remember when Toady made friendly traders activate traps. That was a fun time, as everyone's layers of steel disks mulched the next band of humans to wander through. Much better than the 'dwarves sleep forever' bug, which made it completely unplayable.

Dwarves started vomiting blood all over my great hall and I got at least 10 "cancels drink, resting injury." Turns out when you gather a bunch of plants in the caverns your dwarves will happily brew it up even if it's poison and then rush to try out the new drink.

But when it comes to archers I've done the training dance enough times that now I just jack up the starting dwarves and buy shootin' skills for the extras. I figure it's not entirely cheating because I don't use them for making food or shelter.

What determines what kind of animals you can embark with, in Masterwork? As Warlocks for example I'm limited to Animated weapons and prisoners, no livestock at all. Sometimes I can't bring cats or dogs as Dwarves, etc. Speaking of Warlocks, are desirable embarks the same as for Dwarves? Does embarking on Evil biomes give any advantage (rather than !FUN!)? Does embarking next to other civs increase the chance of sieges? Also, how do you use Black Monoliths? Just pasture them near corpses you want raised?

Dwarves can use moleweasels and frill lizards (I believe) to control vermin in masterwork.

Masterwork doesn't have regular dogs/cats/cows etc by default (not sure if you can turn them back on), it has various made-up creatures instead.

In my gnome fortress I just got the message, "Grugod Farstgrumssa, Child has been found dead, dehydrated" which I found odd since I have rivers and a well and so forth. So I go check it out, and find the kid's body on top of my wooden palisade. There are no ramps or stairs that would let someone get up there. My best guess is that when his mother gave birth, she was standing near the wall and just shot him out of her vagina with enough force to throw him up on top, and then couldn't get him down so just shrugged and went on with her hauling.

That would be an unbearably sad tale. I always end up with livestock birds trapped up on my walls. Also more recently, a cat which had a litter of kittens. Maybe it has something to do with pathing, since the bird pasture was sorta full at the time and the cat was atop a post between two heavily-used doors at the fort entrance? Any case, gnome mothers must be equally as terrible as dwarf mothers (whom we all know about).

Cloning uniforms, I'm going to do that just for the sheer convenience of it because I've never yet mastered getting Dorfs to wear what I want them to. I'll just toss a load of raw materials into lava or something and pretend it's a reward from Armok for my sacrifice.

Didn't you use to be able to see what biomes where in the place you are embarking? I want to make a kickass greenhouse, but it seems there is no way to make sure there is actually sand where I embark. Will a deeper soil help more?

Of course. Pressing the F-keys will cycle through all the different biomes that land under the site selection cursor. When in doubt, try deserts.

I was just stupid and my current embark spot I had selected only had one biome! I seem to be getting conflicting info, does cooking plump helmets give me seeds or not? I haven't played in like 2 years, but I though that I should cook them and that that gave me seeds instead of my dorfs eating them straight up, but my seeds seemed to be dwindling.

Cooking specifically destroys the seeds. Brewing and chomping them raw retains them, however.

Is there anything I should be thinking about when I decide how deep to build? I've usually been doing farm one level under the ground and then having stairs down like 10-15 levels and then making workshops on one side and dining rooms/beds on the other side.

I've usually been doing farm one level under the ground and then having stairs down like 10-15 levels and then making workshops on one side and dining rooms/beds on the other side. I like to dig greedily and deep (but not too deep) so my farms and bedrooms end up really close to the lava sea. 140 z-levels down? No problem, easy access to magma. 2-3 dwarves on lumber duty, the rest become cave-adapted mole-people, and the caravan can just deal with a really long spiral ramp. If you don't want your dwarves vomiting in direct sunlight you can rotate them out and have them go to the surface once in a while, but why? Trantor the mega-city is underground.

It may have been answered before but I was having a problem where the dwarves keep trying to pick up ammo but couldn't pick it up. They just kept going back and forth trying to put it in a stockpile. I run masterwork so I don't know.
