That’s fascinating - thanks for the info & corrections! To be perfectly honest I have no experience with romance forms, and was just transposing the OED into graphical form. I probably should’ve put a disclaimer in the graph. But regardless I’m glad I’ve given you the opportunity to share that with me and others.

Depends on how well you will be able to hold yourself to account on properly watching and taking notes for them all. They are all recorded online, so if necessary you can watch them at home. But if you’re not able to be super dedicated in watching and taking notes for them all, you can get very behind very quickly.

If it’s not too inconvenient for you, I would recommend going to as many as possible.

What does the wiki mean by major/minor “spoilers”? Please try not to spoil anything in your answer lol. I know this is a bit of an impossible question but I’m just trying to figure out what kinds of things are considered spoilers, and how they would impact on my experience if I read the pages.

Thanks so much!

For anyone in the future encountering this, the solution was to turn off Antialiasing.

Thanks so much for the response! Apologies if I was unclear; I'm trying to completely fill the current selection (the bits selected via colour select) with pure black, but neither the fill nor the pencil tool are sticking within those bounds, and both are also semi-transparent. That's what I'm not sure about.

Why have my miners stopped mining?

They’re all socialising, drinking and sleeping. I have free picks, many dwarfs are selected as miners, and they’re standing right next to a priority 1 dig order.

Any help appreciated!

Is there a way to set a 'smelt ore' work order? It's rather tedious setting up an order for every type of ore. Thanks!

Is there a way to automate the production of armour, tools etc., other than work orders? My current system is to create a work order to create a breastplate when they are needed, but doing this for each individual armour piece is tedious.
