It's my understanding that the Depot is considered as a stockpile of the right kind for items, meaning stuffs will not rot or decay while store in it. I also understood that an item dumped on a stockpile will not decay either.

If I manage to dump items on the Depot (with a garbage channel from above, for instance), would those items considered as stored in the Depot ?

The whole idea is to be able to prepare for arrival of merchants : I have way too many useless stuffs and goblinite to sell, and never manage to have everything in the depot before merchants leave. This lead to constant hauling jobs between my stockpiles and the Depot. With this solution, I would dump all the things I want to sell in the Depot, then massive claim before trading. And tada, it's already inside.

I'm embarking on a place with 2 biomes
One is warm, One is Hot
Will the Hot area affect the whole embark, or just the biome it is a part of?

[Kirkegaard]

I have a lot of animals with rotten feats due to a FB, are they "walking dead" or are there a chance they will heal themselves?

In real life I would say the only hope is to amputate, but that is not really an option here, even thou it would be funny.

It should only affect the biome it's part of.

Necrosis won't outright kill them. Other possible effects of the syndrome might. Otherwise they will be walking around with rotted paws for the rest of their life, since I don't believe rotted flesh can heal.

They'll die from infection eventually. For the animals that you can't slaughter, you can pasture them outside or in an isolated area to stop the miasma from annoying your dwarves.

Rest of their life indeed, before they die of infection.

Did not take long, after a few weeks they started die in big numbers.

I very much doubt it. Stuff goes inside depots (like all other buildings,) not on top of, and the only way to get them inside is through hauling labors. The best you could do would be to dump the items on a single-tile stockpile right next to the depot. This would cut down hauling time considerably, at least.

My 2ct of Science : I just tried. As you said, stuffs won't go inside the Depot : if you use 't', you don't see dumped items. So it's not advisable for food or cloths. However, dumped items are at '0' distance of the Depot, thus require no hauling. So it works just fine for crafts, for instance

[Garath]

iirc there was some science about this with regards to selling captured prisoners. Even though the goods are on the depot, they require a dorf to move them -in- the depot before they can be traded. It hardly takes any time, but it still has to be done

[aiseant]

I don't know about that, when I try to move a prisoner to the Depot, if it's a sentient being, he/she escapes

[Sutremaine]

Items at 0 distance need to be hauled to the depot sometimes. If they're in the depot (eg. unsold or unhauled items from a previous trading session), they don't need to be hauled. If they're on the depot (eg. dumped directly onto the centre tile or dropped in from above), then they do need to be hauled. The job doesn't take very long though, given the distance, and the next depot job is right where the dwarf is and is taken very quickly.

So, we just had a Were-Tortoise Attack, it was this Snakewoman
She was brained by the whip wielding militia commander, who was hardly trained on her weapon.

Aside from that, will non-bite attacks by a being not in were form, such as hitting the armor, make them a Were-Beast?
Also, will her corpse come back?

[Trif]

No and no.

Okay, so I am trying to build a wall that is part of my Cistern/Resevoir....
The problem is that, well the dorfs won't stop standing on the final block to it ;m;
I've tried cancelling and redoing it, or undoing other parts of the wall, even giving the space a low/restricted traffic
They won't stop standing on it, and it keeps cancelling

You say you've tried removing the construction designation and recreating it and that doesn't help?  Are you using mods by chance?  I've had situations where flyers in fort mode will consistently do this and I have to keep retrying it until something that doesn't fly picks up the job.

In all likelihood that isn't your problem, so is it possible to create another path to the construction site?  Possibly a temporary one?  I've never had to do this, but I've heard of it helping some others, especially if you're constructing near ramps.
