My perpetual motion device cannot be completed...

... Without sacrificing a dwarf to the gods of famine. Well, It's not my fault they insist on removing the floor from the north.

New idea; Starve a dwarf to death every winter in this fort.

Yeah... the little bastards die in droves.

As for getting them to stop removing the floor from the north? Try designating some walls to be built up there and suspend the job immediately, THEN mark the floor for removal. Dwarves usually won't stand where a construction is designated if they have a choice about it.

You can't designate constructed walls on constructed floors.

You give your dorfs a choice? What kind of overlord are you?

Then it happened. Then I cringed. Then I picked it up and beat him to death with it, and then his buddies, too.
You beat a man to death with his dick?
