The bigger problem is getting the cook to legendary, but it seems like I've always lucked out with an immigrant with 11-12 level cooking among the immigrants. The cook gains skill much slower, probably in part because my kitchens become cluttered extremely easily - normally just bringing the ingredients for a lavish meal is enough to bring them close to max clutter, even with nothing else.

Well yeah, make them do simple meals to gain skill.

how do i get my dwarves to plant my secondary crops? once the plump helmet field is full they act lazy until it is harvest and replant time!

Simple - you order your secondary crops to be planted before the plot is already filled with other plants! If you want to grow multiple crops at the same time, then you need multiple farm plots.

i know, i have 3 plots, 1 medium/large one that does plump helmets year-round, a small one that grows pig tails when possible and plump helmets when pig tails are out of season, and another small one with sweet pods and plump helmets, but once the plump helmet field fills they plant maybe 2 pig tails and then don't ever plant again until it's time to harvest...

Do you have enough seeds?

[noppa354]

of course I have the seeds, i have many barrels that each have about 3 bags of each underground seed type (completely full), wouldn't you call that enough?

Something about the math doesn't add up.  Um...no pun intended.  I don't really know how all the calculations work but I do know I've been able to sustain a population of 40 to 50 dwarves with pretty meager farm plots.  This includes booze production.  I think the thing is that plants don't grow in stacks of 1, at least from what I've seen.  Of course most of my farms are surface plots so the rules might be different.  But in 40d I'd have underground plots which when added up measured around 4x6 in size and it didn't take long at all to start seeing stuff rotting on the vine.

I do know that most surface crops grow in stacks of around five.  Every once in a while I'll get buzzards flying around and start seeing messages like "buzzard has stolen wild strawberries(5)".

Uh, you didn't happen to TRADE with anyone, perchance?
