Hell, with highly powerful danger room training, anything's possible.

A month in a drowning machine? The soldier never gets tired.
Two months in a coinstar machine: the soldier can take blows like rain.
6 months on a screw pump: the soldier can punch demons so their brains are traumatised.
3 years in a training spear danger room with one dwarf pulling the lever: supersoldiers.

Kinda exploity, though, but I'd do it if I were to embark somewhere with undead.

Cage trap them and chain the pieces.

Assign order (k)ill.


pedit:  before somebody says it cant be done, Ive got videos of me doing it   :v

"Not enough free nestbox zones found. You need 8 more" What is the game trying to tell me here?

I have a 3x3 room that is also a pasture with 3 boxes and three blue peafowl, m/f/f. Door locked, both females were breeding, the first clutch just hatched, the message arrived instead of the notification that the second clutch has hatched. Both clutches were 8 eggs. The first hen has already laid another, but that is just 6 eggs, so probably not related. I did not mess with any creature raws, just phoebus tiles applied by the starter pack and a few healing rates where needed, no modding, fresh install. These are the only egg layers I have a breeding pair of.

(And I mainly put that link for any and all, not accusing you personally of ignorance.)

No offense taken, sorry if my reply sounded snippy. I was just extremely confused.

Is it now normal for digging out a wall to leave behind a floor made of another material? For example, dig out a tile of limonite wall, leaving behind a clay silt floor? Apologies if this is answered elsewhere, search and wiki are turning up nothing for me.

This is a known bug: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=6896

Thank you so much for the link. I don't know why that didn't turn up before, I searched the tracker too! I guess too long away from DF has made my search-fu weak...

I generated a pocket world with 3 towers counting as independent civs. For necro sieges should I best start close to one or in range of all three towers?

If you can find a tile which is less than 10 world tiles from all of them (even in pocket world they could just be one in its own corner), go for it.

That's autonestbox. It expects a pasture with one nestbox in it (top left corner) for each egglayer you have. It will then assign one egglayer to each such pasture and ensure no other animals are assigned to it.

Hello.

I would like confirmation that you cannot change the severity or duration of syndromes in-fort by editting the saved raws without the game crashing when it tries to load the critter/syndrome.

[Albedo]

That's pretty technical - might want to ask in the mod subforum if you don't get a response here.

Thanks cdombroski, that it was targetting freshly hatched chicks confused me. Might come in handy once I have more of them.

Can Dwarves be horrified if a hauler only passes by them carrying something 'horrifying'? Like your stacks of severed nose cartilage of undead Elves and so on.

Also, whatever happened to taking joy in the slaughter? It's been mostly undead, trogs, were-koalas and various cavern denizens killed and I guess these things just aren't joyous enough for them. I've checked each time and no joy. Everyone in this place has gone completely emo except me.

[NJW2000]

What happens if admantine gets dyed? Strands, of course - is it a problem? Can I still smelt it?

[Larix]

It just wastes a unit of dye. The colour is not transferred to the wafer (or cloth, if you weave the strands).

[NJW2000]

thanks. Just worried about the contamination of precious adamantine... we don't likes these dyerses, do we, my preciousssss...?

[pisskop]

For Critters that use nest boxes.  Does the daddy critter need to be on top of the eggs to fertilize them or only 1 tile away?

I ask because Ive chained up a breeding pair of quite dagerous and quite untame monsters, and plan to take the babies.

[Rafatio]

Neighboring tile works fine for me, dude is in the middle surrounded by his ladies, everyone in a 1x1 pasture.
