See the manual.

The dwarven bird is the bearded cavernkeet. Otherwise reptiles can be used for egg production, like frill lizards or the mentioned cave beetles.

Cave beetles don't lay eggs.  Are you thinking of dewbeetles?

[draeath]

I've gone ahead with the cave turtles. We'll see how they work out

[arbarbonif]

Are there any uses for silver or copper coins (beyond converting into gold) in dwarf mode any more?  Is there any point to having coin downgrading reactions in the tavern anymore?

I guess you could melt them down or something...

I apologize if this is the wrong board or an easily answered question, but I don't understand how magma/water wells work. I can't find them in any of the menus despite having an Alchemist's Lab and the appropriate gems. Am I just completely blind?

[LMeire]

I believe the wells are under the "Furnaces" building section- along with most of the other magicky stuff in the mod.

Quick question:

I tried a bunch of times, but weirdly, I only get Copper and Tin on my maps as regular ores. Is this normal? Maybe because I genned the starters world? I've dug around, and the only thing besides Copper and Tin bearing Rocks I could find was a bit of Aluminium.

Have you tried using "prospect all" in dfhack?  That will tell you exactly what is on your map.  It depends on the embark locations, but I can usually find gold/copper/tin/lots-of-everything-else-but-iron in many maps.

Do you always embark on volcanoes or generate worlds with high volcanism?  If you find only copper and aluminum it makes me suspect this.  There should also be hematite and some other nice things in igneous extrusive layers if you scout around, though.

But anyway, if so you're possibly missing out on the ores e.g.  Limonite, magnetite, and coal and some other good things (kaolinite, saltpeter) that are found in sedimentary layers, which is mutually exclusive from the volcanic igneous extrusive layers. 

Either way, there's usually a decent chance to strike gold, silver, nickel, and other stuff as you dig deeper and hit metamorphic and igneous intrusive layers.

Starters world has pretty much everything, as do the other presets I include.

There doesn't seem to be a general discussion topic, so i'll ask here: is it possible to remove the generalisation of leather and bone?

No, there isnt.

Damn. Ah well.

Now, I feel really dumb for asking, but I can't seem to be able to embark as non-dwarves. How do I do so?

[Meph]

Activate other civs as "playable" in the GUI, gen a new world, check the embark selector (the map before you press 'e' to embark) with tab. The topmost civ on the neighbours screen is your civ. You can select different civs in the civs screen, just a few more tabs

I am embarrassed to say that I completely forgot about the GUI

Oh, and are Harder Farming etc. found on thd GUI or elsewhere?

[Meph]

yes, all the options are in it... where else?
