I'm guessing it's mainly to allow races with e.g. three sexes in a rock-paper-scissors configuration: Sex A and B together produce sex C kids, sex A and C together produce sex B kids, and sex B and C together produce sex A kids. Maybe. Or other kinds of asymmetric sexuality.

It's really there so that on top of everything else that is a little skeevy about Succubus forts, they can all be lesbians now too.

Screw pumps automatically purify water, but if that water touches a square that salt water has ever touched it turns into salt water

U-joints clean it too, don't need to bother with pumps. Just take your ocean water, drop it 2+ z levels, then let the pressure push it back up another stack and the water is magically clean

Yeah, I didn't notice I undercut a light aquifer for like two hours and the only damage was a little mud on the floor, it never progressed past "evaporates instantly"

My vast artificial underground lake on the other hand had some unfortunate water pressure issues vis-a-vis my well

If you have no sand on your embark, is there any non caravan way to get it?

My biggest annoyance with use closest material is the inability to add any filters to it. No, I don't want wooden walls in my magma workshop.

I also wasn't expecting all my new smelters to be made of gold

Related question, why are instruments the most complicated examples of dwarven engineering? I'm halfway done with a 75 z-level magma pump and I still can't figure out how to make a gong

I just saw something interesting on Reddit: apparently if you build a bridge to an island, it becomes accessible to caravans for future embarks: https://i.redd.it/ny3ukq8w4d6a1.png

That's weird, I started on an island barely larger than the 4x4 embark and I get migrants and dwarf caravans

If you put a refuse stockpile next to a hole they'll throw trash into the hole

Ideally that hole is >3 z levels deep with magma at the bottom

Clocks posted:

Speaking of dumping and holes, I have a one-tile channel down to some magma and occasionally the dwarves dumping stuff in catch on fire and die. I guess the solution is to have them dump from further up?

Yeah, you get magma mist when things burn, hence needing a deep pit

On the topic of deep pits, do things eventually fall far enough to explode, or if you make the effort to dig a complete 80 z level hole and have people on the surface throw logs in, will they just collect at the bottom for easy retrieval?

I also wish to know this, but I imagine if you crank out some knick knacks that might work?

Also I think elves wear stuff in the same size range as dwarfs. It's hunams who require Large clothing.

I was reading somewhere that one of the races is a happy medium. Like if you make all your clothes for lizard men it will be properly sized for both dwarves and humans

Are alerts ever usable? "Combat" being everything from someone falling out of a tree to hunters killing innocent capybara to demons running amok in your tavern means I already miss things because it's always up. The cancellation notices from work orders means that icon is there permanently with dozens of lines. Other than ALERT, DIPLOMACY, PETITION, and the red eyes I find everything that pops up on the left to be completely useless due to alert fatigue

Related to the above, I have a ton of bags of various materials that my dwarves refuse to haul out of my existing depot. I have a stockpile set to accept furniture --> bags. Is there something I'm missing?

I'd also like to know the answer because I've started just dismantling the trade depot after each visit

e: from Reddit. Goblin visitor turns out to be a werelizard, but it just hangs out in the tavern now

When those happen do I need to manually interview everyone in my drat fort or will the guard captain actually do things on his own?

The grand "someone had their blood drained!" mystery was easy to solve because you just accuse the one monochrome dwarf, but everything else seems like it'd just be tedious
