New question!

Burrows!

Wiki does not mention sleeping and eating/drinking. Q&A says that dwarves will leave a burrow to eat/drink but still no mention of where they'll sleep.

I have two masons right now, one of which I want to focus on building masonry-required structures (paved roads/bridges mostly) and make stone blocks. He sucks lavender-field-clean-elf-ass and I want him to get some XP for a while before he starts building my tables and chairs. The problem is that Urist McSuckLavenderFieldCleanElfAss keeps using the workshop that has tables and chairs as work orders, while Urist McI'mSoLegendaryAtMakingTablesAndChairsAndShitIDoubtTheyWillEverBeAbleToEngraveMyWorkEvenInALegendaryDiningRoom-mason is stuck on stone block duty.

I sort of remember reading somewhere that you can assign workshops to specific dwarves but I don't know how (I guess that's question #2). And while that would be tremendously useful and will in fact solve this particular issue I would still appreciate input on my burrow related question.

Thanks!

It's the workshop profile that you might want, shift-P on most workshops ( farm plot and a few others don't have it, I think ). You can assign by skill level ( not sure if it's still bugged, I think it's fixed but I don't uses it ) or to specific dwarves.

In order to enable the workshop profiling function, you have to have a manager.  The manager doesn't need to do anything -- the position just has to be filled.

Dwarves don't need beds to sleep. Once they're tired enough they'll just lie down and sleep on the floor.

[BrisoS]

Sleeping in beds give good thoughts though. So burrows mean they will ignore their assigned bedrooms?

[Trif]

Yes. Dwarfs won't accept any jobs outside their burrow, including sleeping.

I don't get how to train animals in the new version, everything I got are these question marks everywhere (see picture below). Is this normal or should I see my keybindings or something?


Edit:
How to insert a picture?

Until I know, link: http://s1.directupload.net/file/d/2996/dhr9lfmo_jpg.html

[Laurin]

All you have to do is to set up a zone, make it a training zone (hit t while in zone menu).
If you have any dwarf with the animal training labor, you can choose trainable animals in the animal sub menu of the status screen (z). You can toggle war training or hunting training with w or h.

Do you have a trainer? Maybe the question marks are a result of no dwarf available.

[Trif]

The question marks are odd. Anyways, you can insert a picture like this:

It seems that my key bindings on these parts were out of order. I'm using a "once-was Mayday" version, maybe because of that.

Can creatures from a cavern go up through a well? The best place for my hospital would be right on top of the cavern's ceiling with water just 3 z-levels underneath. Not sure if it would be safe though or even work at all.

Yes, if they can fly.

The best thing to do (though it takes a bit more work) is to create a u-bend with a grate in it. That is really the only sure fire way of accessing a cavern's water supply without danger from anything.

(w=well, G=grate)
Side View (before water flows)

Code: [Select]

________w_
       X X
       X X
~~~~~~~X X
XXXX XXX X
XXXX XXXGX
XXXX     X
XXXXXXXXXXSide View (after water flows)

Code: [Select]

________w_
       X X
       X X
~~~~~~~X X
XXXX~XXX~X
XXXX~XXXGX
XXXX~~~~~X
XXXXXXXXXX
The u-bend will allow the water to flow down, over, and then up through the grate, preventing all access from everything, even building destroyers and fliers.

[Sutremaine]

Can't a building destroyer destroy the grate if it ends up on the grate's tile? If that is the case then the problem could be solved by having a w-bend and placing the grate so that it blocks access from below.
