Awesome. I can just imagine a war veteran, his skin woven of adamantine sutures. Dude.

[Taco Dan]

You sure they arent making some sort of bionic, invincible cripple?

Hahaha! Sigged!

Thats an interesting theory, but after extensive testing I have found that recieving adamantine sutures to the skull does not in fact make a dwarf glow or otherwise exhibit awesome new qualities.

But it does increase their value, right? A *masterful suture* where all craftdwarfship is of the highest quality must multiply one's value by at least 12!

Try forbidding the threads and cloth till it's needed by a proper crafting station. Requires a bit more micro and you still run the risk that once its claimed the doc will run and grab it.

I eagerly await steampowered limbs for my fallen heroes crafted of the finest adamantine, Urist could use one to replace that arm he lost in the last raid...

What professions do you give to crippled dorfs? I had one that lost her right arm and went pretty soon insane and starved as she was apparently incapable of doing any of the previous jobs she held.

Hospitals need to figure out how to graft on adamantine claws, too. Then we can have Urist McWolverine.

I was thinking more in lines of unstoppable Dwarven Terminators. - You know.. Beings that are more adamantine than dwarf. that just will not stop.
Or maybe Dwarfbocop. - Dwarf brain in a metal body, fighting crime. You should be able to replace any bodypart with enough adamantine.

Adamantine fangs and claws for wardogs taht have had them ripped off!

I sealed off the strand extraction sector in case of an ambush, thieves, stupid medics, things that look like "&" (HFS).

When i want to retrieve strands i just have to lower a bridge.

But: adamantine cloth and thread is nowhere to be found in the stockpile options.

If something is placed in a stockpile but there's no way of assigning it directly, then enabling the whole category and disabling the options one by one will cause that something to be the only thing accepted in said stockpile.

[sicksock]

Haha.  That NTTRCKR thing didn't work, though... the new forum search engine decided not to index it.  Except now it is working for some reason!  Cool, maybe I'll mark some other threads now.

Freaking fungus, more fodder for my hellebore cannons

[Valience]

What I always do is I make a "vault" stockpile.. a room with a locked door/raised bridge/whatever and a custom stockpile with the stuff I want saved.

Anyway it'll take some micro to save it. But I guess that's how it should be.

Adding more micro for the sake of saving something when there already exists a framework that could be adapted to easily prevent said micro is bad design. Therefore, it is not as it should be.

Adding in proper adamantine options to stockpiles shouldn't be hard if they do not exist, and having some hospital screen that allows you to set what quality and/or material stocked items can have should also be easy. Barring that, simply making it stock the lowest quality and lowest value items first would help to prevent this.

This problem is obviously due to dwarven socialized medicine.  Start making them pay for the threads, and see what they use.

(sorry, couldn't help meself)
