@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=708 Apparently yes it's still minable. I suppose bragging rights, then? I don't see any material value for it :D
I do see in the raws note that it's supposedly intended to be able to be made into rock sword but wasn't implemented.

And a slade bin? Sounds like an interesting mod ha

When you fills a minecart with stuff, then fit it into another minecart and fill it up, then fit it into another minecart. Last I heard you could fit two minecart into one and have some space for bars left.

Great news, as well. The Luck is with me, and my first embark this version has a slade quarry just itching to be exploited mined! It's also got a river, no aquifer, and it's in a savage biome, so I'll be quite busy with this fort.

Edit: AND PEREGRINE FALCON PEOPLE!!!

If not already in your plans, you should do some testing to compare stone-fall traps using slade vs using granite vs using talc (or some other non-dense stone). :D

Lignite and jet are the lightest of the stones, being a little heavier than glumprong. Raw adamantine is lighter still, and is actually probably the easiest of the three to find.

Now that gravity has a more influential effect on Dwarf Fortress, the uses grow ever so more :P
Gravity is a little too influential, if skull-crushing XXsmelly socksXX are anything to go by.

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.

Is it possible for a dwarf to make an artifact slade weapon (warhammer)? Just get a lot of weaponmakers, put them in a burrow with a workshop, food, and slade, and wait for a strange mood.

The problem being that slade technically counts as both a stone and a metal (iirc), so it can't actually be used properly as either. You can only make furniture because metal ores also count as stone, methinks.

Woah, metal and stone? So a slade warhammer can be achieved via mooding in vanilla?

Yeah I think I saw some guy post a screenshot of a slade warhammer adorned with candy spikes on an artifact thread.

And that is horrifying. If I remember correctly, slade warhammers are basically god's tools.

You do not understand the ways of Toady One. He is not a business, he's just a guy trying to make a fun game. He's invited people to come along and experience the journey with him (and help him test it out as he goes along). At the end of the day, I don't think his main goal is to sell Dwarf Fortress, its just to create the best game possible.

Look at it this way: goblin golf can still exist in vanilla.

Goblin incineration is what it would be. Slade warhammers are extremely powerful against anything.

A Slade warhammer behaves like what HollisticDetective did in 40D.

http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=823 this bug? I think it's been fixed in current versions, whenever rock bars was fixed, possibly. Though I wouldn't know, I don't run metalworking industry too much, much less for furnitures
