Has anyone else heard from Reudh? I sent hm a pm and never heard back

[Crossroads Inc.]

Ok got a message back, apparently Reudh is passing for now.. So I am trying to get in touch with Orky!
ifI can't get in touch with him, I may actually simply open it up to whomever is available.

[WillowLuman]

I have to say, you might just want to go ahead with your turn. Orky hasn't been on since July, no telling when he'll return.

[Crossroads Inc.]

Yeah I think I will take over for this turn, I'll need to take a look at the place.
When I checked earlier the fortress was in a REAL MESS! It's pretty disorganized and stuff is just littered all over the place Think I need t take a turn just to pretty things up

[WillowLuman]

Well, there is the pile of dead invaders and their stuff outside the gates, but I can't think of much mess aside from that.

[Crossroads Inc.]

Ok this might sound stupid... But it says I have no rock to make things out of... Trying to make a few cabnits right now, and it keeps saying :No available economic stone"

There are PILES of granite, limestone, microline, etc.
As far as I know nothing is forbidden, I checked the stock lists.

[Aseaheru]

Can they get to them? Are they allready earmarked?

[WillowLuman]

They have yet to bring the stone to the stockpiles, and someone set all the workshops to only take from stockpiles (so they could choose the material of stuff, probably). I went through a LOT of stone very fast in the last few months.

[Crossroads Inc.]

Yeah.. it would seem unless stone is brought to a specific stockpile, they won't use it... Ugh How do I turn this off so they can use ANy stone Anywhere?

[WillowLuman]

Just build another workshop, that way it won't have the stuff set and it keeps the settings for the other ones.

[uggi]

Those stockpile rules were probably set by me, I use custom stockpiles and give/take options a lot with my fortresses. I know I used them to get piles of microcline and limestone blocks for building the entrance building. And also with jeweler's workshop, for decorating crafts and statues only. You're the boss now, just unset everything if you want. See the wiki page about stockpiles.

On the other hand, I've never had time to learn how to use minecarts properly so I didn't touch them.

[WillowLuman]

I don't think we should mess with those carefully set-up stockpile settings. Minecart incidents could ensue. In fact, shortly after I saved for the last time (so this didn't actually happen), I messed with them and someone got gibbed.

[Zooeyzooey42]

Could you name a dwarf Zooey? Preferably a swordsdwarf, but anything would be fine

[Crossroads Inc.]

Ill haver to see if theres any sworddwarfs NOT named at this point

Also.. Does ANYONE know what level opens the Drawbridge? I had to cut a hole in the wall to get out and.. well, I REALLY don't want to go pulling levels in the fort at random

[WillowLuman]

Please don't cut holes in walls when you can open them with levers, it tends to let bad things in. Ask first. There are two levers in the lesser dining hall, the North one opens the surface bridge, the South one opens the caverns one (I think, might be other way around.)

AFAIK, the only levers we have control the drawbridges, pump stack, and waterworks, none of which are that dangerous. But I might have missed one. The Fire Driver was a 1-shot, so the lever for it doesn't do anything anymore. In fact, I might have deconstructed it.
