Because we can only report bugs with Mantis, meaning you have to browse hundreds of pages to be sure it has not been reported. But yes, it was a bit of a rhetorical question I guess 

[Dewar]

Hmm, I have a 2x2 up/down staircase that I've built hatches to block out the caverns, but Elk Birds keep finding a way up. Do hatches not block staircases properly? My dwarves can't seem to path down there.

[Sphalerite]

Did you lock the hatches?

[Dewar]

Ah, I was treating them like Floodgates, not like doors. That explains a lot.

If I delete the child and baby tags from dwarfs in the raws, will babies come out peasants immediately ready to work or will they not be born at all?

[Sphalerite]

If you delete the baby tag, dwarves will be born as children.  If you delete the child tag, they won't be born at all.  CHILD is needed for a creature to be able to reproduce, but BABY is not.

Is cage trap the ultimate weapon again zombies that keep reanimating even when I bring them down again and again? I have a part of my map which is not evil biome, perhaps I can open the cage  their and kill them once and for good? Otherwise I'm stuck. There are more and more zombies roaming the surface (80% being evil biome), they keep accumulating (caravans, lost dwarves, goblins, various animals etc.) and I fear I'll be overwhelmed one day.

Is there a simple way of constructing flux stone blocks in masonry without having to mass forbid any other stone in my fortress ?
Simply to store flux stone blocks in bins close to my steel industry instead of having a quantum stockpile by dumping it.
The mass forbid solution avoid me to craft in parallel stuff from other stone from instance, etc...

that should work, or release them at an atom smasher

Note that blocks made out of flux materials cannot be used in the production of pig iron or steel.

Dammit, thanks

In gamelog.txt, any possibility to have the name (or nickname) of the dwarf instead of his profession? This is not discriminating enough for combats.

Ideal weapons to make out of silver?

I think silver warhammers are great, but what about maces?  Bolts? Crossbows?

Any blunt weaponry, and also bolts.
Crossbows can't be made from silver.

if they get a few kills they get a name which will be displayed
