If you think I'm a heretic now, let me just say that all of my fortresses are built above ground 
But in a way it's more dwarfy, because it's so much more difficult.
I also embark on aquifers.

BACK ON TOPIC!

So if I'm dyeing twice, will that mean I will have to have a seperate branch diverging from the thread stockpile?

Dying really is only a parallel for a little bit so it is just Grower=>food=>miller=>different food=>dyer=>clothier/weaver

And why are you dying twice?

Dyeing the thread used to sew images onto the dyed clothing.

He'll have to do it unless the dyer can produce 2 dyed items while all others in the production line only produced 1 item. Which they probably don't.
Just dye all thread and set the loom to only weave dyed thread.  This way you only dye once and you can still have colorful images on items.

This is exactly the sort of !!SCIENCE!! America DF is built on! *applause*

I give this thread 4 beards out of 5.

Fire those who complain, and name your fortress triangle shirt.

Also build your entire on this factory line principle.

I think with a name like that, you are asking a fire imp to burn the fortress down.

Just have 2 dye plant tiles for every fiber tile.  And have two dyers.  (I think only one miller might be necessary, but if it turns into a bottle neck add another)  Also, can leather be added to cloth objects?

A Leatherworker can sew leather images. Those don't get the price boost for being well-dyed, though. And you can only have one image, either thread or leather.

Ah okay thank you.  I was thinking along the lines of gem encrustation where i could make cloaks that have a leather image, a dimple dye rope reed image, an emerald dye BCS silk image, a red rood cave spider silk image, and a sliver barb pigtail image.  It makes me sad that this is not the case D:

Well, that answers that.  Oh, but is there a difference in cloth or leather items for military use?  mainly for cloaks, hoods, mittens etc.  I want to know whether making a bunch of leather items would be more effective than plant fibre or silk fibre items.

And call me un-dwarfy if you wish, but I may have removed the alcohol_dependant tag from the raws... 

STOLEN! I'm going to show my mates that. It'll make them laugh.

Make sure you have your magma-based industries a floor above this then.

Make sure to channel holes for optimal magma flow.

You're making this way too complicated.

If you have a prison colony set up, all you need is a big bridge to serve as a hatch to drop immigrants in through, a meeting zone on top of it, a bunch of coffins to stuff the bodies into, a 10-story deep drop shaft for food delivery, and another 10-story deep drop shaft for the prisoners to drop finished goods through.  Letting them socialize makes it that much more fun when they riot and the whole place turns into a bloody mess, until eventually after several waves of immigrants, one of them turns into a legendary wrestler, a veteran scarred by his many battles.

At which point he is judged worthy in the eyes of ARMOK and allowed to leave that hell to lead a unit of militia on the surface.

Oh dear god yes!

A blood soaked pit where all undesirables are dropped in order to filter out the weak...

I am now an even worse person, I honestly can't thank you guys enough
