You can press the "Multi" button when you're making bedroom assignments, paint a huge rectangle over your living area, and it will designate separate bedrooms. Supposing you put a bed and a door in each portion-able room.

Make some statues out of expensive materials, or if you have spare artifacts try making a pedestal and putting them on display.

I can't figure out how to get dwarves to use blank writing material in the library. They'll only stockpile quires and won't touch scrolls at all unless they are set to be dumped (and fudging them into the a dump zone in library hasn't done anything either)

I've got bookcases and chests in the library, and the desired writing materials set to 999

Did you assign scholars and librarians ?

Ah yes, I did, but I also had it set as the medical dwarf's office or something. Unclick that and now they work.

So far I've just been nuking the archery range zone when I want them to have good bolts on hand, and making a new one when I want to make some wood bolts and have them train.

475 year old forgotten beast that was a blob of ash with two huge wings, and when a dwarf punched it, it turned into a pile of ash, and two huge wings.

After going through an untold number of scholars, my library finally attracted a skilled doctor/diagnostician/surgeon into residency, and it turns out he's the husband of a dwarf already living in the fort. Just got to wait for him to ask for citizenship.

What does the lightbulb icon announcement mean?

Text was something like "[Dwarf name] has discovered the construction and use of the warded lock"

I don't see the named dwarf in the fort currently

It's more like, "Well we dig a hole in the ground, throw some rotten kitchen scraps in there and cover it with a huge boulder. Then we let it sit for, ohhhh, say 30 or 40 million years."

For some reason when a caged creature gets dumped into lava, the game records their cause of death as "Bled to death", but it does blame the dwarf that dumped them.

Can I make a stockpile for mechanisms? I'd like to dump all my less than masterwork ones for making better traps without tedious menu fuckery

Two stockpiles, both only furniture->mechanisms. One with only good qualities selected, one with only not-good qualities selected.

Items stored in stockpiles with refuse storing enabled can rot away. Yes, the tutorial specifically sets you up to do this to yourself.

Seems like if you build a hunter guildhall it won't be long until your entire fort is full of legendary ambushers, which you can use to steal artifacts and other loot from other civ sites.

But if your ambushers are too good, you may almost never get detected on your raids, and you kind of lose the ability to wear down enemy populations by taking fights with advantageous positioning.

I watched some amphibian men pick a fight with a forgotten beast with a freezing dust cloud attack. The amphibians won the fight, were all covered in the dust in the process, then, one after another, they all keeled over immediately after they set foot in a cavern pond.

Once you assign the hall you can see if it was part of an agreement along with the needed value of the room, with the magnifying glass.
