Yes, the dwarves love to crank out useless crap.  The latest artifact that got made in my fort was a freakin' mini-forge.  That got dumped in the artifact stockpile meant to hold useless crap. 

Can these artifacts be looted in adventure mode and then later sold by said adventurer?

Unless you use them as a construction item, nope.

Why do you say that?  Allegedly, every artifact built at the fortress will remain at the site and can potantially be found if you abandon and then visit the site in adventure mode.

[Loud Whispers]

Not quite, some just disappear ;d

Even looking for them in the stock section turns up nothing. The only 100% guarantee if it's in a building.

Bah, that makes them even more useless.

Oh, yeah that sucks. Also I don't want to fully convert my DF to any mods so far. I just tinkered around in the raws for some things I dislike (like fish scarcity, removed the exotic tags for pets, and added shells to ducks, since they don't yield meat or bones, I hold some just for shells in case of moods). I'll probably take a look in the raws for kobolds and see if I can make them survive^^ Any ideas how I can make them live longer? Why do they starve?

The problem is simply that since kobolds don't farm they can't steal enough food in order to survive. This can be remedied simply by adding [NO_EAT][NO_DRINK] to the kobold raws, or I believe by adding farming to them. But the no_ option is generally easier.

Nope. Use the display case mod, or throw them in magma. The magma won't destroy them, artifacts are bloody invincible.

Do you mean magma-safe and building-destroyer-safe wooden floodgates and doors? That sounds cool!

In the unmodded game, you will almost never see kobolds, as they all starve in year 4.

My current game is a world of 125 years history with some 'camps' owned by kobolds, less than 10 in each camp, seen in 'region1-world_sites_and_pops.txt' after generating the world. Can I see kobolds in my fortress?
