Also, I got cramps in my hand from hitting 'enter, down, enter, down', trying to trade all my XXSmellySocksXX and puppy roasts. (quantum stockpile = no bins)

Create a macro to go 'enter, down' for a trade screen full of items.

Oh yeah, I had a play with macro's a while ago, and then completely FORGOT they exist! Thanks for the reminder.

dfhack has an autobutcher option that helps tons with population control. You set how many kids and adults you want of each pet, everything that goes over that amount is automatically tagged for butchering.

Ah, excellent tip! I have dfhack for Dwarf Organiser, but haven't used it for more than exporting XML and reordering my dwarf unit list to find things. Thanks! :)

You'll want (2) macros for trading.

One is (enter)(down-arrow) repeated 13x.  The other is (enter)(enter)(down-arrow) repeated 13x.

I also have a (enter)(down-arrow) repeated 17x macro for bringing stuff to the trade depot.

If you have a quantum clothing stockpile by the depot, then it's super easy to select everything with a "x" in the name (using the search feature) and have it hauled to the depot which is only 2 steps away.

just kill all the babies, problem solved.

And we've met our 'things that look really bad out of context but make perfect sense in DF' quota for this thread!
