Ohh, ok I think there's an issue with children and going to burrows because they want to constantly play. I guess I'm gonna have to get creative and assign bedrooms near my lava pit...

yeah the stockpile menu is a little unintuitive. You'd expect selecting nothing in a category to be the same as selecting everything in a category, because logically there's no reason you'd want a nothing stockpile, but it doesn't actually work that way I end up setting my finished good stockpiles based on material, instead of type. All rocks can go to one stockpile. Cloth, silk, and leather will basically always be clothes and can go to another. Metal is a little more annoying because armor counts as a finished good so I have to go in and unclick all the armor types if I don't want my gauntlets in the same stockpile as my trading stuff

It turns out cats actually will stay in a pen zone. Any ideas for dealing with the agitated birds that keep showing up? I lose like 5 people a year to them and training marksdwarves is all I got so far.

If nothing else, you can build ceilings over any crucial outdoor structures (grass will continue to grow and animals will be completely fine penned in an area without sunlight as long as it used to get sunlight). Wood is harder, but depending on your map, the caves might be a safer source than the outdoors.

I don't think I've ever seen agitated wildlife so far, which is strange because I exclusively play in high savagery areas. Tons of giant animals, but no agitated ones. What do you need to do to make them show up?

Yeah, every single embark I've done since like day 2 of the steam release has been either untamed wilds or joyous wilds, and I don't think I've seen a single agitated animal so far. Do you need to mess around on the surface to get them? I usually prefer to gather wood in the caverns.

I still had to create a new squad, but I was able to assign a custom uniform. I also had lots of bolts in a stockpile, but those were ignored.

Once I crafted new bolts at the magma forge they finally picked them up and started training.

I'd be more keen on monster slayers if they actually did the job they said they came here to do, having someone patrol the caverns once in a while would be nice. As it stands all you're getting when you accept them is a professional seatwarmer at the local tavern. Also, I have never really had problems with dwarves grabbing ammo out of bins, so I'm not sure if that's the issue. Broken Cog fucked around with this message at 11:18 on Dec 31, 2022 |

Even if you get it all to work properly, the current tactic of the marksdwarf is to run towards the target while shooting until in close enough range to bash the werebuffalo with their *tower cap wooden crossbow*. Certain combat behaviors could use some touching up.

Wafflecopper posted:Are goblin thieves an exception to that? I only had a 1 level high surrounding a 2 level “keep” over the stairs into the fort proper. I spotted some thieves heading in so I raised the drawbridge in the curtain wall and they immediately gave up and walked back off the map I think non-natural climbers/fliers will only try to jump and climb things if they're actively in combat.

Sometimes you'll get trade agreements that pick one craft type or another as extra valuable. If you don't want to fine-tune your production every time this happens, just making "crafts" will give you a boost. It also gives you some insulation if you get a "export of mugs prohibited" thing.

Is the extra valuable craft almost always some low value leather crap -quivers, waterskins, backpacks, etc.- for anyone else?

What settings do I need to change to stop my dwarves wasting time hauling goblin single teeth, feet, etc. from an outdoor battle site to an outdoor refuse/corpse stockpile? "Workers ignore outdoor refuse" is on, but I'm guessing these teeth and bodyparts don't count. I could turn those items off in the stockpile, but then I feel like they won't haul up junk from, say, the butcher's... Nosre fucked around with this message at 13:42 on Dec 31, 2022 |

You can always forbid goblin corpses specifically from the stockpile, it will include the body parts There's little point in hauling it away if it's out of the way anyway.

You could disable "goblin" in your corpse/refuse stockpile and they won't get hauled. If you want them to haul whole corpses you can just disable them from the refuse pile. Type "goblin" into the search bar at the top right of the stockpile interface to easily disable that stuff.

There's a setting somewhere, I think in a different tab but the same screen as "ignore outdoor refuse", about automatically forbidding dead people during sieges or whatever.

Seems like there's no perfect way to automate it then. Disabling "goblin" parts is a good idea, but then they won't clean up ones that get inside. And forbidding works too but you'll have to re-do it every single siege. Thanks all

Finally, some excitement   Unfortunately I just sent half my military on a very, very long trek across the world to demand tribute. Initially, I thought I'd try to wait it out until my other squad returned, but then this guy had to wander right up to it.  But it's okay because it turns out I have the Dwarven John Wick on my side. His name is Udil Regthibam and he is 84 years old.  Okay, so Udil walks up to the dragon and the very first thing he does is embed his axe firmly in its skull. So firmly that he loses possession of it. Then after Udil takes his axe back, the dragon whacks him in the finger so bad that the resulting shockwave obliterates his left elbow. Udil loses his shield. He spits out a campy one-liner and then roundhouse kicks the dragon in the face, stunning it. That's when his compatriot Sigun Lokumroldeth, the Elite Wrestler steps in. Sigur has been training non-stop for around 4 years and is a dwarven terminator. He has a hammer and he just hits the stunned dragon in the head over and over.  All in all, pretty uneventful. But that's when I'm reminded that for some reason, all of my soldiers have been carrying children with them during their training drills. And... and they carried those children into battle with the fire-breathing dragon.  It initially looked like we took down a dragon with no wounds beyond a shattered elbow, but... three of the soldiers lost their 0 year old children in the fight

Then you can specifically mark goblins that make it inside for dumping, and your dwarves will haul them there instead.

Are artifacts less likely to get stolen if they’re in a display case as opposed to just sitting on a pedestal?

Jazerus posted:you need to tell the stockpile what materials and quality of items you want in there too. if you only select types the dwarves will throw up their hands and say "no materials are allowed and no quality levels are allowed, so nothing is allowed" OK, this was it. I didn't realize that the settings were all required, I thought you could be as vague (or specific) as you'd like. Works now, thanks.
