Blood seems to be easily obtainable from the food I have, neat. This seems to keep my vampire, whoever he is, in check(since I have 130 dwarfs I can't be bothered to search for him ).
How do I make the sacrifice dwarf get to the altar with the red marker during a necromorph apocalypse? Will the necros stay down when killed? Why aren't my dwarfs running from them?

Cheers

Is there a way to assign dwarfs to mine a vein of ore? like click one of the ore and the whole vein is selected?

[yaymeh]

DFhack has a plugin for that, look for "digv" and "digvx" in the dfhack readme / your keybindings.

[MerkerBenson]

actually, it's already bound, just go in dig mode, move the yellow cursor over the vein then click ctrl-v. Done.

How do I deal with rabies? I keep getting "rabies victim" dwarfs now for no freaking reason after the last case which was 5 years ago and in a mastiff that never went near any dwarfs....

How can I designate specific armors for the blast smelter? or it just smelts unused ones? What's better, welded cobalt, mithrill or bloodsteel?

Do any races or shops sell the tears of armok? I can't find these gems anywhere....

after choosing the reaction change the material (Ctrl-A ,i think,choose inoganic then type in the metals name) the reaction uses to the same as the armor you want to melt.
mithril/welded mithrill is bettter (its lighter and sharper)

no races,but one of the shops (the fine good shop i believe) sells them for a nice chunk of gold coins.

[MerkerBenson]

Thanks!

Do Bladed and spiked minecarts do extra damage when hitting?

Also, how do I make my dwarfs drink the noaging/youth potion? Or just randomly like any drink? Does it actually stop them from dying of old age? Does a pie made of said potion have the same effect?

Btw, the Crematorium is AWESOME for cleaning after the necromorph apocalypse. Seriously, I have like 200-300 corpses strewn about. The event happened at the same time as several ambushes, a caravan and a siege. After the battle there were only a few necros to eradicate left and a couple of siegers and the mountains of corpses... DF can be so brutal sometimes

Hey, anyone know how to fix my dwarves not responding to alerts properly? They refuse to switch to 'military mode' and only train when on Inactive mode. It's annoying as hell.

[Mawootad]

I have a little bit more than 100 dwarves and 10 million dwarfbucks in wealth, but nobody is sieging me, only ambushing occasionally.  Is that normal, or should I just start declaring war on frost giants and automatons so I can harvest their corpses?

[MerkerBenson]

Well you should check for number and power of the hostile civilizations around you. If for some reason you're friendly with everyone or the evil people are all dead since worldgen then the best course of action to get war is to declare war . Then again aren't dwarfs supposed to be mortal enemies with the frost giants and automatons?

Can anyone please enlighten be with regards to the rabies? Some dwarfs got sick(mostly children) years after the last documented rabies case in a dog that was never even close to a dwarf(he got rabies when near one of my fresh mastodons ). I managed to lock the latest afflicted child in a room and he eventually died of "suffocation"?! How does that even work?

Cheers

[Noobazzah]

Suffocation, as in the child's lungs rotted away. Rabies seems to spread through several interactions rather than actual bites, so your whole fort's probably got it, apart from those who are immune.

[MerkerBenson]

It makes no sense, nobody had any contact with rabies....That child wasn't even born during the animal rabies incident..., and most of the dwarfs that work outside died during the necro apocalypse...

Is there any cure for rabies in game? I have a herbalist, apothecary, alchemist...Pretty much everything except magic because the freaking researcher always misplaces the freaking research papers whenever I get some platinum.

Any way to prevent the papers from being stored away? Or at least the bins from being carried TO the item instead of the other way around? Seriously, who caries the entire FULL box to an item, puts it in, then lugs it all the way back?!

Cheers

My ore processor stopped working! It was going well and produced some "pure malachite ". but now it stopped. It has a queued "Process malachite bearing rock" work. But nobody do that. Some dwarfs has "machine operating" job activated, but they are "No job". What's wrong?

Try using t to see if there's anything cluttered up in the workshop.  If not I'd suggest deconstructing it and remaking it just to see what that does.  Could also be a burrow issue if you use them.

Nope.  That's one reason most players turn diseases off.  Maybe Meph will upgrade the system in some future release; he's always said he had more plans for the Apothecary.
