Does anyone still trade with the merchants? I just use the deconstruct trade depot exploit. Works every time.

If you like stealing 90% useless stuff...
And destroying your own excess items, since you don't trade it away...
And caravans never bringing anything good, ever, since they are too poor...

changing humans to come in spring, elf in summer, I'm getting tired of colliding wagons
Do they collide in the depot, or only when both wagons are moving? Wagons have to enter the map by certain tiles, but they can leave by any edge tile. Making an exit route somewhere that's more attractive than the one they came in by would keep the wagons from driving into each other.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.

Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

the dwarf caravan is usually halfway to the depot when the humans leave, often causing them to collide in the tunnels. My other solution so far has been to make some "moveable walls" with bridges to give enough space, but it is seriously annoying

I figure since I can afford everything I want with stone crafts, it gives me plenty of gems to use for encrusting... And I need those caravans for flux stones and wood (I gotta make barrels faster than trees can grow to keep my booze coming in)... And animal cages never go astray... I like breeding just for the bones for my archers to practice with

Rock pots for booze??? Hell yeah! Save on wood

I'm thinking I may have missed an update, because stone is extremely abundant for me... Something changed recently?

One of the 0.34.x updates changed the drop rate for mined boulders to 25% regardless of miner skill.  At the same time, however, one boulder is turned into four rock blocks by a mason now.

Stone pots got added shortly before 0.31.25 (.18?) and work just like barrels but require a stone block to be made.

lots of the updates are great. Especially the fact you don't have to mod out all the exotic tags anymore, dwarfs wear clothes again, so they will finally not all contract syndromes by walking through contaminated blodd puddles. On the other hand, now you got to provide them with clothes. Wheelbarrows seem to cause all kinds of problems, but minecarts are awesome, though the most applauded use is as a WMD

another great update is selective stockpile usage by workshops, though this generates as much troubles as it prevents
