40x1 burrow in a hallway as substitute for DT
« on: August 12, 2016, 12:34:34 am »

I wanted to make a bunch of dwarves in my 80 pop 43.05 fort stone detailers. Like all of them, to smooth boulders on the entire surface of my desert embark. So I made a 40x1 burrow and made a civilian alert called "Form Line" and activated it.

The beauty of v-p-l is it stays on the same page of labors even when moving the cursor to different tiles or (v)iew next to different units on the same tile.

Yes still micromanagey as hell but much easier than what I was doing before which was "goto unit" from the units screen.

Feel free to add any tips for life w/o therapist.

This is a really good and creative tip. I think I will dig a Queue Room myself (Line Hallway? Waiting Room?)

I'm still waayy baaacck on 40.19 with the Armoksend of Dwarf Therapist, IF I had to resort to that method on my 6*6 map, mine would be 288*3  :o
I'll wait.
And quite patiently at that.  :P
If it works for the new versions tho, great tip.
Anvillocked wouldn't exist without Dwarf Therapist, period.Exclamation points ad infintum.

 And you also have to add the painful clean owned scattered x, better in the long run? Nope. Offsett by growing dwarf pop.
Toady really needs to do ANYTHING to help rid a *large* fort of xclothesx, XclothesX, and XXclothesXX,
It is the main inhibitor of a *large* fort.
As above,
