I just updated from version .42.05 to .43.06 and I have a few minor questions that I can't find on the wiki yet. Plus some questions about adventure mode, which is missing some info on the wiki.

  • Does the carpentry update in adventure mode mean I can now build my own wooden house/fortress because I can now build wooden blocks? Because that would be awesome!
  • The patch notes say that I can specify materials and images when I make certain items. How do I do this? I don't notice any difference in the workshop screen
  • How do you tell if your adventurer is hungry or thirst in adventure mode?

I know nothing about adventure mode, so I'll just answer this one.

Press 'd' on the job once it's been put into the job manager or workshop queue, but before it's started.

Oh you need to do it from the management menu? That's why I couldn't see it. Thank you!

You can also get there from the 'q' menu too. Hit Q, find your workshop and then arrow up or down to the specific job. Hit 'd' while the job is highlighted and it brings up the menu. From there you can filter/search for the specific image or person.

In adventurer, press 'b' to build a site. Takes a while, don't do alone or bogeyman will get you. Requires wood cutting axe to cut down trees (carved from helve and sharp rock - carved helve from a stick pulled from a tree).

Hungry/thirsty display on screen, can't miss it.

In adventure mode you build from raw logs rather than blocks.

If you're hungry or thirsty it will also be shown on health screen (z,h). If it just says "No health problems" then you're not.

Ironblood didn't use an axe because he needed it. He used it to be kind. And right now he wasn't being kind.

You can also use a battle axe.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

Yep, bring a lot of friends. Also be prepared to fell a lot of trees. Note you will use any logs laying around anywhere in your building site but to build furniture you need to stand in the workshop and physically hold the logs in your hands.
