Three of the rooms at my tavern have been rented. I checked by whom and it's three dwarven children who are part of my fortress. I guess they wanted to have their own space.

Think I kind of figured out the "food on the floor" situation. I ended up putting chests in any room that belonged to any dwarf and they started putting them away. Thankfully, that food no longer seems to spoil once it's been put away. Wish I could just remove the "ownership" on the food, though, because it's very annoying for only one dwarf to be able to interact with it.

 The dwarven baby, the last living citizen of the fortress, stares up at the scholars and prophets, but they do not help. Why do they not help? I guess this is the end of Shotclear. Would make a hell of an origin story, though.

Jazerus posted:turkeys don't require pasturing, they scavenge bugs out of the soil. i generally excavate 6x5 bird pens on a soil layer and stick my chickens, turkeys, peacocks, etc. in those with nest boxes for egg collection. you just have to be careful to separate males and females once you have enough hens to give a decent number of eggs or you'll have a birdsplosion that tanks fps They really should for game balance purposes require a small pasture but I also have wild ideas like "Llama and alpaca wool should have different properties from sheep wool" so you know.

Booting the game up for the night and I'm gonna start by asking a bunch of questions that hopefully get answered as I stumble through some of the answers on my own  What does a Chief Medical Dwarf do if they aren't assigned to any medical stuff? He's legendary at a lot of medical stuff (I realize this probably warns of danger but well this is my third fort and I made it halfway through year three already despite my best efforts otherwise) so I figured he'd be a good "leader" in that regard but I had to start assigning other dwarves (as well as him) to do medical stuff because it wasn't happening otherwise. Since I didn't do the thing in worldgen with smoothing out cavern elevations, am I just stuck with an annoying to navigate cavern or can I just like mine everything out on a level or two and not worry about it caving in on top of me? I'd like to try and engage with...whatever I can do there, and maybe continue to dig deeper. I also have like half a dozen monster slayer residents because when I breached it I didn't realize how much stuff would come attacking me and I was not prepared at all so I just accepted whatever help I could get. I made like eight temples but a lot of my dwarves aren't using them to pray, am I missing something with them? Also will generic temples fulfill that need? What's a good size for a squad? I just got two waves of migrants pretty close together so I figure I can make some of my dwarves into just pure military now. Feels like the game really pushes me towards specializing as much as possible instead of letting "whoever" do a lot of tasks. Is there a better way to store stone and ore than "a big fuckoff stockpile," since they can't stack or go in bins apparently?

Pasture them over your refuse pile, let the extra vermin do the work on your refuse. On this next fort I'm absolutely not bothering with coffins. Everything goes down the corpse-shaft and then I'ma make stones. The memorial stones dialogue is also rear end, but at least I'll run out of stone only half as quickly. I'm gonna set up some sort of choke point at the entrance and have absolutely nothing outside that's useful, so people stay the gently caress indoors. Maybe I'll try a tundra...

I have killed a couple more forgotten beasts, and a while after one of them a few dead people popped up. Oh no, maybe its breath or something had poisoned them and they were dying a couple months later? Luckily no, I memorialized a random bard that was found dead in my tavern and it turned out she had died peacefully from old age. One of the beasts did have ichor or something that made my dwarves get increasingly drowsy and fall asleep. I have a well with a stockpile of soap nearby and I do think they sometimes take baths doing that, but I don't think I've found a reliable way to clean anything specific. I know people used to use mist/waterfalls to make sure to get gunk off but I don't know how I'd accomplish that in this fort. I also figured out how to use most of those useless bards as cannon fodder. If you just don't restrict them in a burrow they still tend to do "everyone" jobs like, say, hauling stuff out of the caverns. Where the forgotten beasts are. I can't say whacking those with instruments or books is particularly helpful but it does get rid of the freeloaders and give you time to set up your militia. I suppose that does cause some negative thoughts and potential workload via coffins and such but, hey, there's only so many musicians I really need. Speaking of coffins, a militiadwarf had her hand lopped off at some point. She's alive and well now, minus the hand, which someone helpfully hauled to what's been designated as her coffin. Kind of macabre, really.

You can make a dwarven footbath. Dig a 3x3 channel in front of the entrance to your temple or dining hall and make sure the ramps are like this, with walls on either side so they can't skip past it. |VVV| |XXX| |VVV| Fill it with a pit/pond designation and buckets, until the water in the bottom is all 2 but with one square of 3 high water. The 3 stops it from evaporating. Everyone has to go through it to get in and all the gunk will fall right off 'em.   I think I'll put it in front of my food stockpile, in my next fort.

edit: ^^^^^ I had totally forgotten to put an appropriate floodgate while trying to dig out a bigger cistern for my well and I had to do some emergency door + floodgate maneuvers to close that room off. It's now underwater. We don't talk about that room anymore.Nettle Soup posted:You can make a dwarven footbath. Dig a 3x3 channel in front of the entrance to your temple or dining hall and make sure the ramps are like this, with walls on either side so they can't skip past it. Why thank you! Definitely going to see if I can place that somewhere relevant. I normally don't care too much about blood splatters or whatever but they kept tracking around some of that ichor for months. If it had been something more deadly this would've been a bigger problem.

Kenning posted:The most important thing when working with hydraulics is to double- and triple-check your engineering before breaching the water. For your underground water source you'll want a series of floodgates linked to levers. Water pressurizes, so what I did to build my dining room well was to dig a cistern under the well location, have a slightly larger staging pool upstream of it, and then my channel from the river, with floodgates between river, channel, staging pool, and cistern. Open floodgates to fill channel, close. Open floodgate to fill staging pool, close. Open floodgates to fill cistern, close. That way you don't end up filling your dining hall with water. Is it possible to install floodgates vertically? If so, in what order do you need to do things? If I first channel a hole in the floor I can't seem to place a floodgate over it, but if not, how do I remove the floor afterwards?

It's like a Guillotine or a Zamboni or, appropriately, a Frankenstein. Since it doesn't have a name, it's probably dangerous, as it isn't one of your guys that got resurrected, it's likely a wild intelligent undead that wandered in

I had an undead monster slayer elf lady, Liceyi Sanctumroar, visit my fortress. She sounded kinda rad, so I loaded the save into Legends to check out her story, and submit it for the gangtag. Turns out she wasn't a monster slayer at all, but rather some random elf bard named Nemile Haileddeer with far fewer relations than she pretended to have. She did have quite a story though. Some 120 years before she visited my fort she became a bard and authored several works. After studying under a few masters she became a master herself and tutored two apprentices. She then spent some time as the champion of a dwarven settlement of my civilization, encountering a forgotten beast and surviving. However, this didn't seem to be very good for her love life, as she went through several lovers during her 40 year stint as a soldier. Finally, about 50 years before she visited my fortress, she was struck down by a dog in a siege from a dwarven tower. However, the fortress she died at was absolutely lousy with dwarven necromancers both before and after the attack, and about twenty years after she died she was returned to life by a necromancer who had also died in that fortress and had been resurrected not long before. From there it seems she became something of a covert agent, and visited my fortress as part of a plot to steal artifacts and start a coup under the command of the necromancer who raised her. Nemile had two daughters who also became undead. Her eldest daughter was experimented on and turned into a night creature, and killed 5 elves in her short life as a night creature before being killed and resurrected. Her second daughter fought in many wars but never actually killed anyone, eventually falling in battle. When she was resurrected, she briefly became chieftess of a dwarven fortress, but was ignobly returned to death by a bobcat. Considering that my fortress has had three different necromancers immigrate so far, I think the incidence of necromancy in worldgen may be a mite overtuned, but it sure is generating some weird and wonderful history.

Quinton posted:Is it possible to install floodgates vertically? If so, in what order do you need to do things? Floodgates are generally installed on the same z-level that the water occupies. You want to dig your tunnels and stuff while everything is dry, and then set it up so you can channel the water into your plumbing system by channeling adjacent to your floodgates and water source on the z-level above. (the shore of a river for example) If you want to set up a vertical drain system you'd want to use hatches, I think?

Are the bones in your refuse stockpiles called "bones" or something like "skeleton" or "right leg bone" or something like that? The bones that you use for bonecrafting come from a butcher's workshop, either butchering a recently-deceased animal or slaughtering a living one. Oh, and skulls (for totems), shells, and teeth/ivory, they all use the bonecrafting labor but different categories in the workshop menu.

My plan is to dig a cistern under a well, but ideally I'd have the ability to close off the well from the cistern, then open up a water inlet to fill it, then close off the water inlet and open the path up to the well, to avoid overflow situations.
