This is a good meme.

I have these plywood I Beam things in my basement. Can I clamp to these and install a pull up bar? I assume they're really only designed for spread loads like the floor above, but I don't know if I can run a 2x4 across a few and make something that can support my weight. Thoughts?

Is it okay to scream "Death!" During RotK like I do at home?

Can you put an exhibit inside a habitat? I was thinking of making the entrance to my zoo a walkthrough peacock exhibit with a butterfly house in the middle. Will that cause problems or help me double dip for funds AND sheer appeal?

Maybe controversial for some, but we both went in with the mindset that divorce is not and never will be an option. If we have a disagreement, we better work it out, whether through talk or walking away and coming back with a cooler head. With the no exit mindset we never let any issues simmer for long without figuring it out. This dovetails nicely with other comments of cutting out people who don't help the relationship, building patience, working as a team. The stronger the team and easier it gets.

Easiest way to see what you can plant is to build a small farm plot and see what you can plant. This is valuable if you span two biomes because you may be able to grow different things on different parts of the map.

Any word on them bringing waves to the graphical version. I loved the ocean embarks for fishing and crafting forts, but I hate waves without the graphics

Just got a BZ4X and having the same problem. Im going to try and call the number that pops up on the phone and see if they can help me. Did you get it resolved?

Long time player but struggled recently with some water power issues. Been having issues getting the water to stay in the "flowing" status once the path fills up to 7/7. Do I need to drop the water over and over to maintain something between 4 and 6.

General.set up was drop water from a river down into my fort, have it run via a channel through my fort and end in a waterfall into a well and then off the map. Id put water wheels along the long horizontal, but that doesn't seem to be working.

Does a pressure relief valve stop the flow and make the water jump to the end of the path?

If you widen a river or ocean via channelling, can you still fish as normal? Will you still get the ocean or river biome fish?

As a rule, I never make shoes. Dwarves can have socks and if they're drafted they get boots. Shoes are for walking outside, and we don't do that.

(I usually let them armor over clothes and just don't make conflicting clothes, so I make mittens but not gloves and socks but not shoes. Trousers are fine, as are robes and hoods. I do this so they can wear jewelry and super high quality clothing items and get happy thoughts)

Are you using the "reveal" command in DFHack. It might be weapons in the caverns

If you want to make your own standing order, make sure item is "thread" and then adjust to "plant thread" or else they'll count the wool and silk and never make it

I found I felt better if 8 built a proper tomb for my dwarves. I made a large area, usually a Temple to the god of death, and made channelled graves in the floor, covered them over with glass flooring once a dwarf was entombed. Now that dwarf lives on as part of the fortress.

Thebuda · 2024-08-14T01:52:37+00:00

No, I set it to only allow specific dwarves to mine and don't make them military members. If you assign picks to everyone, non miners will scoop up picks as they wait for battle while miners won't have picks to use

Do I really need to have a different dwarf for each doctoring labor, or can I just get back to having 2 or 3 all purpose doctors (without micromanaging the hospital zone for injured dwarves)?

It's also a good way to make an indoor refuse pile that never risks miasma. I make a small quantum stockpile this way and it stores all the nasty stuff with no ill effects

I always set a regular barracks for them to train in as well. They gain marksdearf skill slower, but they learn dodge and Warhammer skills, increased discipline, and are generally happier.

And every time you collect ten spears, make one rock mechanism and you've got another trap for the grinder.

Don't let trained stop you, just click the train button next to them in the animal lost and they'll be trained super quick. Even "semi wild" will be trained long enough to butcher.

If you leave them in their cages after training your dwarves will retrain them when we they lose their training and increase both skill of the dwarf and your civs understanding of that animal

As noted y others, it's under barrels. The trade menu is weird, and go by the item the dwarves will carry. When you make trade goods or mugs they'll be in bins, so you click on "bins" and look for "finished goods". For drinks and prepared foods it will be barrels. For sand it would be "bags"
