Do tamed giant cave spiders still not web invaders? I was thinking of putting some behind fortifications and using them as an early warning/crowd control system, but I saw an unverified(?) note on the DF wiki that they may not.

They web invaders just fine; I think there just has to be a valid pathway between the spider and the target.

I haven't played in ages, but suddenly have the urge to dwarf again. I was reading the wiki, and the fact that pigs apparently don't need pastures interested me. I've decided to found a fortress named "Dinnerfork, the Eternal Wonders of Pigs". I am spending a bunch of embark points on 10 sows and 1 boar. Any fun ideas for a pig fortress? I definitely want to get a meat and milk industry up.

Survive only on meat. No planting allowed except for non edibles to brew. e: edit the raws so you can use meat to build walls. Build your fortress out of meat. e: also meat clothing and meat armor. Bone weapons. Sankis fucked around with this message at 07:48 on Jan 1, 2016 |

Could you make a breeding room where the tiny piglets fall through the floor when born for easy sorting?

I definitely want to get a meat and milk industry up. I think its a law of the dwarfiverse that if you embark with only one male animal that animal will be sterile or homosexual. Take two boars. I've been embarking with pigs for a while now though, they do seem to be by far the most convenient animal to mass farm for meat, leather and bones.

Personally I prefer to grab some alpacas and llamas for a combined animal industry and build some pens but on hostile biomes or when my civ starts off at war with another I will bring piggies if I can afford it.

Yeah, but alpacas and llamas are grazers, while pigs aren't, and barring modding they're the only non-grazer milkable animals.

I made a mess. The tavern seems to take priority over any other meeting point so even though I am hosting Hydra vs Goblin fights in the arena there are no spectators.

Yeah that's a pretty great layout. It reminds me of the 2D versions. I still mostly build very small on multiple z-levels.

DFhack for 42.04 seems to be working okay. All the poets and whatever that I've let be permanent residents are shuffling into my mayor's office and applying for real citizenship. Afterwards I can assign any labor I want to them and they get a room in the regular bedroom area (as opposed to needing a tavern room). Nice! There's a goblin poet who 40 years ago was fighting against my civ (and has 10 dwarf kills!), but looking at legends it looks like she switched sides and helped defend dwarf sites a few times - didn't manage to kill any goblins though. I decided to let her earn her keep and let her into my group/civ and drafted her as a hammergoblin - service guarantees citizenship.

I don't think I've ever built a fort that wasn't essentially a 20x20x20 cube with stairs every 10. Once you get used to it, it's a lot easier to have "bedroom floors 1-5" and "the food stockpile floor" etc. instead of big wings.

I can't get any rulers to accept me as a performer even after I tell them poetry that they like. They keep on saying they want to see something impressive.

Easier sure, but having one big floor of massive wings is a lot cooler to look at. I love having the majority of the fort's activity visible on one screen, efficiency be damned.

I dig a room for them underground next to the kitchens, zone the whole room as a pasture and just shove all the pigs in there forever and leave them be. Then as you say, just pick off some of the males whenever I need to. Once the first few generations of sows have grown up they reproduce at a much greater rate than you'll ever need to use them, and I usually speed things up by ordering more sows from the caravans anyway. They don't seem to fight each other so you can pasture tonnes of them together in a small room no problem.

I too do this and whilst I am a very creative person and enjoy seeing all of the great designs and ideas people come up with I have come to the conclusion that I am a perfectionist and strive for efficiency over aesthetics.

I like to keep efficiency in mind while still going with aesthetics I like. I usually have a main entryway leading to an intersection which leads to the dining hall (with food production right above dropping food down onto a quantum stockpile and drink production right under), a hallway leading to bedroom floors, and a hallway leading to production floors (usually 3-4). My efficiency is I use as many quantum stockpiles as I can.
