If that is true then that's good, i always assumed they couldn't be turned back on. Now I can fulfill my dream of an entire militarized fortress.

Maybe someone could put out a "Stubborn Newb Pack" for me to use ... dfhack is something I wanted to avoid.

But it is loaded .. I'll see if it works tonight

thanks

should the "dfhack-0.34.11-r3-Windows" folder be in same folder as DF.exe or should the contents of "dfhack-0.34.11-r3-Windows" folder be in the same folder as DF.exe?

1. Will dwarves smooth/engrave tiles with furniture on it, in particular doors, tables, bed, chairs?

2. I assume they will not smooth/engrave tiles with already built windows since windows block movement? If so, would it be better to smooth engrave the floor before building the window to increase room value?

1. They will, but designating a whole room for smoothing and then marking individual tiles for furniture placement will remove the smoothing designation from those tiles.

2. They won't smooth a floor tile they can't stand on, no.

Same for engraving.

I've finally gotten to the second cavern layer and hope to catch some jabberers.  If I wall off all of the cavern edges, will a single open space suffice, or should I keep a few tiles open?  I'm just not sure if a single tile will prevent multiple creatures from spawning.  Thanks in advance!

Is it safe to transfer either goblins or untame animals from cage to cage as if they were tame animals?

I've been catching goblin thieves en masse with my cage traps and I would like to set up some live training for my marksman. I feel it would be a lot easier to just throw down one cage, transfer like 10-15 goblins into that single cage, link it up, pull the lever and fire away until all 10-15 goblins are dead. Usually, I manually place and link up each cage individually because I'm always afraid that trying to move a goblin from one cage to the next will set him free.

no

I never had a goblin or anything else escape unless there were for example merchant guards nearby that suddenly started to attack

yes

That was it, Thanks ... I chose "unzip all" and it kept the folder too

I'm a bit OCD sometimes when it comes to fort layouts and something's been bugging me.  How do I clear saplings (sans DFHack and growing them to trees) on the surface to be able to build surface farms without losing squares?

[LordBaal]

Build a dirt road I think.

[WanderingKid]

Build a dirt road I think.

Worked like a charm, thanks. 

[LordBaal]

Never mind my good man.

*headscratch*  Alright, I wounded my hammerer due to bad lever control decisions, and he's just lying on the floor with a broken leg, dying of thirst and hunger.

I just slapped together a few traction benches and stuffed 'em into the hospital, just in case.  There's open beds there as well.  I can't even get a 'drag wounded' or whatever the job name is to cycle into the job list, nevermind get this poor guy up to the hospital.  there's no alerts and he's very accessible in the internals of the fort, and I've got tons of hauler types with recover wounded enabled.

What am I missing to get this guy to not end up dead as a doornail?

Update: Oh, he's going to die and his 11 family members in the fort are going to go nuts, including his wife.  I've just created another dump cycle and there are dwarves literally walking over the top of him and not helping.  Boggle.
