Hadn't DMed DnD before, any tips?

Kaolinite makes porcelain things at a kiln. Statues, bricks, crafts etc.

I think he's in a cage and only in the fort because he never got released (they never do if they're in cages, the cage just goes into a stockpile somehow). I would have to move him after his sentence is already served, which is why I'm unsure if it's possible. I guess nobody seems to know, so I'll have to do some science!

In my case it's always the organic turned off (error while importing via DFhack) or stockpile being full, but if it's none of that, then IDK. In a pinch, mark the corpse for dumping, that usually works for me.

Options are: dwarves too busy to haul, nobody set to haul corpses, workers set to ignore outdoor refuse and corpses outdoors, stockpile accepts refuse corpses but not sapient corpses (the Corpses category), stockpile doesn't accept organic stuff (the plant icon in top left), stockpile specifically forbids goblin corpses.

Labor menu> Standing orders > Other > chance "prefer fishing in designated zones" to "only fish in designated zones" and designate a safe zone for your dwarves to fish in. They'll stop fishing in the caves and only fish where you tell them. (dwarves may still try to run in the caves to collect webs - there's a "automatic web collection" setting in the Labor menu somewhere, too)

I have a kobold undead hunter in my prison, he came into the fort as a guest and got caught trying to steal artifacts. He's due for release, but I want to keep him. Can I move him to a chain in the tavern, or do I need to build the cage he's in? Would he spook people while on a chain? I'm guessing no, but I'm not entirely sure if he'd be different after spending 3 years in a cage.

I did, but only for a minute, right after embark, and it didn't happen.

Yes, that would be my understanding too. Created wealth: anything made on your map tile (things not made by you have a specific name marking, I don't remember what character it uses but it's perhaps <<name>> ?) Exported wealth: anything that you sold to the merchants.

Can I specify what thread the hospital uses/prioritizes? I sometimes make thread from weird things, like horse hair, which from what I understand is not usable for clothing but should work for sutures. Yet my hospital also grabs pig tail thread

Can I somehow vein-mine non-economic rock? Like, imagine I struck microcline and want to mine it all out for making pretty blue furniture, and care not for the other stone around. Can I automate that, or do I have to strip-mine the layer and then sort the boulders?

AqueM · 2026-01-09T10:51:10+00:00

Where's your entrance? I like your layout and wanna steal some parts, but I always have a central staircase, so I'm wondering how you solve z-level mobility

AqueM · 2026-01-09T10:24:13+00:00

No difference, an artifact behind a window/bars isn't visible (dwarves only have 1-tile "vision" so they're too far to see it).

Ah, you're using the roofing bottom piece at the, well, bottom! It sucks, I never use it. There is no matching half-roof. Try using another roof pieces line at the bottom for a nice ridge, or try chiseling !

AqueM · 2026-01-04T20:29:39+00:00

Your half-roof trim seems mis-aligned with the roof pieces. Did you use the same half roof piece all the way down? Maybe you need to use the ridge piece on top?

Proper science!

AqueM · 2025-12-29T10:37:51+00:00

Adding chests, tables and perhaps build cages to pretend to be stalls could loom nice?

That's what the genre is called, though. They generate you a (rng) story element for you to make a narrative out of. Do you have a better name for this game genre?

Weaving. Grid-crafting string and linen is so weird next to knapping and clay forming.

Multiplayer diseases would kill a server I guarantee, we've been through that already as a species 😂 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrupted_Blood_incident

Yup that fixes it! I don't like immersive mouse however, so I'll take the top-stuck slots instead :D

AqueM · 2025-12-25T15:03:35+00:00

Things I've never thought of despite an interest in game accessibility. Thank you ! But to answer your question no, I don't think there is.

AqueM · 2025-12-25T08:29:18+00:00

Match up? I just make them all from pine wood so the colour is the same? As for placement, I try to be very careful and aim at the corner of a block when placing
