What's the simplest way to see to it that your brewer makes different kinds of booze? I have numerous brewable plants in my food stockpiles, but all of my dwarves are consistently having the "sick of drinking the same old booze" thought.

press z, find the stocks tab, find drinks. If you have an extremely large amount of a certain drink, press z and disable brewing for that plant in the Kitchen tab.

And by the way: Disable cooking for plants which make good-value drinks, such as sun berries->sunshine. You can also disable cooking if you have other sources of food and/or have a low amount of a certain plant.

don't worry about the stocks tab, drinks show up in the kitchen menu too (at least did last time I played the game). As said, when you find you only have dwarven wine or the like, turn off plump helmets for brewing for a while

To see what he is brewing at the moment: press 't' and hover of the still, it'll show what kind of items are in the shop, including the plants he is currently using. As said, if you want him to stop making dwarven wine, go into the kitchen tab in the z-screen.

I alternate between downstairs, up-/downstairs and upstairs in a 3x3 arrangement, easy to designate with the help of macros. Ramps are better for FPS is said, tho.

Can werecreatures destroy buildings?

Can werecreatures destroy buildings?

Only if the transformed creature is a building destroyer. Haven't had it happen though...

[Demonic Spoon]

Kay. I'm considering putting the beds in my hospital in separate rooms with doors to prevent another werecreature hospital massacre slash wereplague outbreak. Can werecreatures open doors while transformed?

WAIT! Just double-checked from the wiki and it seems they are building destroyers. You'll need a bridge system and fast lever-pulling dwarves for that isolation/quarantine to work.

I really can't believe I never noticed them being building destroyers. Although I have never let one enter my fort. My dwarves made short work of them so far. But I never expected anything much from a weregoat...

[Demonic Spoon]

Eh, I'll just replace "doors" with "cage traps". They sometimes sneak in as migrants.

[Yovatsap]

Would cage traps work on secertly-werebeast-migrants?

[Demonic Spoon]

Only once they transform. Otherwise they'd all get caught when they come in via the trapped entrance.

Do werecursed dwarves still eat and drink?

Oddly, the biggest issue for me is that all my dwarves seem to go far out of their way to go eat the plump helmets in my farming / brewing stockpile, instead of the giant pile of masterful prepared meals directly adjacent to my enormous dining hall.  There are seeds all over my beautiful dining hall... any idea why they seem to actively avoid eating the prepared meals?

I seriously doubt a fancy ramp design gives any significant performance increase over a simple up/down stair shaft.  I don't think any science has been done on this in 0.34.x at all.

I have always just used up/down stairs so can't vouch either way, but here's a thread that at least has a bunch of anecdotal evidence.  I'm in the process of slowly replacing stairs with ramps in my fort to see if I notice any effect...

Do you have a economy yet? Your dwarves might not be able to afford the masterful meals.
