Assigning a bedroom TO a dwarf is used for nobles.  You want to give a good bedroom to your mayor and your baron and your captain of the guard, so you assign those ones manually.  The peasant quarters, you just let the dwarves claim on their own.

Is it possible to somehow clean "inside" "above ground" floor (blood is on it) and remove corpse off that floor (dump item doesn't work)?

[greycat]

If dump isn't working, then you probably forgot to enable "collect refuse from outside" o r o

Thanks, it helps. Any idea about cleaning that floor (I have free buckets and soap and well and idlers)?

[Trif]

Above ground floors will not be cleaned AFAIK. Rain will wash the blood away if it rains on your map.

I think you could remove the blood by building a wall or a floor on the space that you want to clean and removing it afterwards. No guarantees though!

It rains, but not under roof

Thanks for info, but it won't work for blood covered pressure plate (building present).

Thanks for the advice.  And yeah, I've been assigning rooms manually   Why is that option even there if it's unnecessary?  Also, how do you set your population cap?

Nobles want better rooms and you need to tell the other dwarfs that 'no, you can't have this one, these rooms are for the baron, yes, I know they are nicer than yours, which is why they are for the baron.' And then tell the baron to leave his old grimy room and live in these new quarters.

pop cap: in your df folder: data - init and then either init or init_d, forgot which one.

I cheat in cleaning blood like that with dfhack

I'm playing 34.04 and have just had a large migrant wave.

One of my migrants has 469 kills, including a dusk bride and some insert-creature-name-here-men.  They're wearing a lot of insert-creature-name-here-men jewellery.  And they don't show up in Therapist.

Obviously I'm assuming they're a vampire.    One odd thing I noticed is that in the Wnd display, all of their limbs and organs appear yellow - everyone else's are white - despite no injuries being apparent.  Is this a known way to identify vampires, or just something odd?

[Garath]

Vampire most likely yes.

[jhxmt]

Vampire most likely yes.

Wait a second...she just got thirsty.  No, I mean, actually thirsty, for booze/water, not blood.

Hmm.  Okay.  So not a vampire.  Wonder what the hell's up with her, then.  Vampires don't get thirsty, right?

[robertheinrich]

Vampires donīt drink booze and water, usually. After a while they start working slower and their thoughts say something like "starts working slower because of the lack of alcohol" even though your stockpiles are stuffed with it.

Then again I had guys I was sure about being a vampire because of that behavior who suddenly died of thirst. Maybe their curse was suddenly lifted and they died of dehydration right away.

[Garath]

I think it was mentioned vampires still thirsted for booze, maybe an effort to blend in. Keep an eye open anyway.

Really wish there was a topic on the wiki or on here regarding night creatures.

In adventurer mode, I played as a vampire recently, and it was great fun. However, how do I become the other night creatures? Becoming a werebeast seems like a chore; do you have to get bit by them in order to become one of them? What's the easiest way to become a werebeast? Also how do you become a husk? Thanks in advance.

[MarcAFK]

So my ghostly diplomat just turned into a ghostly were rhino.... i suppose my first reaction thinking it was a werecreature was right, am i in for some !FUN!@?
Edit: very anticlimactic.
Question: How do i slab someone? I have built a slab but it only seems to let me create a sculpture garden.

[MantisMan]

What's the best way to get to the magma? I normally have a bit of trouble getting to the magma sea, and I get the feeling that setting up 150 levels of an up/down staircase is a terrible idea. That said, my normal plan of digging out an up stair, flat space, and a down stair seems a bit too inefficient and time-consuming to designate.

How do you go about it?
