so, newb question.
How does one get eggs from batwings and shit.
I require it. A FORT OF20 HANGS IN THE BALANCE!
Also, my first seven dwarves were reduced to five when some owl foragers and shit started attacking. lost one of my hounds, one of my batwings, and two dwarves to the bastards before we were able to drive them off, however when they left, they took one of the battle axes with 'em.
I was able to quickly recuperate, however, as my miners quickly dug a shelter, and made some doors. So, two other men went out there, and kicked some owlmanguything forager ASS.

My fort is going good, MOSTLY cause I have like 270 meat, and I am sustaining with 65 dwarves, with many births this second year.
I (amazingly) Have not been attack or raided by anything. The only thing i've been up against is ratkin thieves, and serpentfolk snatchers, both dispatched EASILY by my bronze centurions, who is now joined by a pit fiend. Which brings me to a question.
Can someone become.....dwarfy again after turning into a pit fiend? I don't really mind if they can't, cause these things are DAAAAAMN strong.

Demonic transformations last forever.

You will get sieged once you hit 80-100 dwarves, just you wait .

Is there any prerequisite for the library to work with a dwarf? I newly appointed a surgeon after the old one was tragically eaten by a pet, however he has no skill whatsoever and doesn't gain any from studying medical topics in the library, such as wound dressing, suturing, surgery and setting bones.
Also, where can I make pistons for my steam engines?
Edit:
So I checked the raw files for the library, [PRODUCT:98:1:TOOL:ITEM_TOOL_TABLET_MEDICAL:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:tablet]. This means there is a 98% chance of the tablet being preserved, right? However, it seems that a learning session just always consumes the tablet. I've tried multiple times, and every time the tablet disappeared without trace.
Second edit:
Changing "GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:tablet" to "GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:tablet:NONE" fixes the issue with the library.

[Deon]

Oh man, that's an error on my part.

I will release a quickfix today, with a few more interesting things you will ALL like. Putnam is amazing, he wrote a script which allows armor to carry syndromes.

[Putnam]

Not just armor, any item :V you could have a chair that allows you to breathe fire while hauling i...

oh my, hauling.  Didn't think about that...

[Deon]

Woops, right? Please make it that hauling does not affect the hauler, if possible . I don't want people carrying flamethrowers to stockpile to... Nevermind, it may be a nice idea.

[Meph]

Yeah, that was my first though... does it need to be equipped, or only in the inventory?

[Deon]

Items "hauled" are considered "equipped" I guess.

[Meph]

So one could make speed-enhancing bins? 

[Demonbutter]

Wow, 'enchanted' equipment... the possibilities. Will it work in both Fortress and Adventure mode?

[Deon]

Yes. That's something I am working on right now. The only problem is that when my sword of blinding speed got stuck in an enemy, it gave him a great speed boost and he choked me to death.
