First time playing 0.34.11, why won't any of my military dwarves put their gauntlets, high boots and helmets on?

They don't want to take off their cloth boots/mittens/caps/whatever and put the armor on, even when I individually assign them uniforms instead of just hitting the 'Metal Armor' preset. Even when I tell them to replace their current clothes with the armor instead of putting it on over top. The only way I can get them to put armor on is if their clothes wear out.

34.11: dwarves, Y U NO eat in the only designated dining room? People just go to the stockpiles and nom on my food, even with 20+ chairs and tables free at all times. Some do eat there the normal way, but they are a minority.

If the dining room is too far from the stockpile or the dwarves are too hungry, they'll just eat it where they are. But they will always do the drinking in the stockpile, maybe that's what you're seeing?

Try m -> e -> m. Edit: No, wait. That might not work for you... I got nothing, sorry.

Adventure mode:
Is novice reader enough skill for necromancer/sorcerer/... or do you need higher level of this skill for anything at all?
Is wiki accurate that this skill can't be trained after embark?

[Yovatsap]

Novice reader is enough and you can't learn it independently yet...

(in 34.07)  Anyone know any reasons why I would be seeing tons of forbidden flasks/waterskins all over the place?

Dwarves need upper body clothing/armour to carry a waterskin. If they take off their tops for any reason, the waterskin drops to the floor. Giving them two upper body clothing items might cause them to move the waterskin to the thing they're still wearing, but I don't know.

Ahhh, thank you, this explains much!  Now just to figure out why my dwarves keep deciding to "Go Wild" in the first place   It's hard enough attempting to get them to put on all of their uniform without dealing with them taking off parts occasionally.  I suspect it would be because of them removing their robes whenever they get xwornx?  This would be much less of an issue if the game didn't auto-forbid the dropped waterskin.. any way to edit that through {o}rders or something?

How do I know who has an animal assigned? I want all my archers to have exactly one war dog each. How do I recognize the dorfs who has already got one, so I don't give them two?

Oh, it is at the bottom of the interface, Forget I asked.

What are your death item forbid settings?

When you [v],[e] the dwarf, press [z],[r] to see their relationships. War beasts are classed as pets and will be listed here. This will probably include dead pets too, but they will have the "z: Zoom" greyed out.

I have it set to Forbid:
Used Ammo
Other Death Item
Your Dead
Your Death items

and only claim Other Dead automatically.  Would that be interfering with these flasks somehow?  They are all inside my fort, and dwarves haven't been dying in there...

[Sutremaine]

But they've been dropping stuff they're wearing, which generally only happens upon death. I think the game checks for death items by checking for worn items that are dropped, and the game doesn't have any code to treat waterskins differently.

This seems to be the cause of forbidden weaponry, btw. It gets 'dropped' when stuck in an enemy, never reaches the floor because the dwarf takes it back, and remains in the dwarf's inventory because worn/wielded items have no interaction with the 'forbidden' status.

Is glazing still bugged to give no experience?

Great, thanks a lot. I also found that you can see the assignments in the [z] animal list.

My dwarves are using wheel barrels, but they are only placing one log into it then dragging it to the stockpile. How do I get them to put multiple logs into a wheel barrel.
