I just tested it on a River Source tile (created magma above it via DFHack and let it drop in) and it started producing water after being carved into fortifications.

[Uggh]

Thanks for checking it out. Would have been a lot of wasted effort for me if it didn't work.

Why is one of my dwarves leaving the burrows I set to collect webs? I'd rather him not drag the forgotten beast down int he caverns back with him so why is he leaving the burrows and how do I stop him?

[pisskop]

Burrows define work areas, and idle movement limitations.

The job 'collect webs' takes place in the burrow, and the job requires him to go get the webs.

cancel the job.

[Dozebôm Lolumzalìs]

Or do a civilian alert if it's that bad. That'll stop any civilians from going outside the selected burrows.

(In case you don't understand what a civilian alert is: it's in the military screen under "a"lerts.)

I've been interested in the game Bloodborne recently, and the "frenzy" mechanic got me thinking about stress levels.

Now, I'm not sure how stress works exactly. Would it be possible to expose a dwarf or even a noncontrolled sentient to so much stress at an one point (thousands of body parts, etc) that they would go mad semi-instantaneously, or is that not how stress works?

Because a sort of "Eye of the Cosmos" superweapon would be fun to have, even if not too useful.

Here's a few quickies.

Regarding dodging, do enemies dodge ranged attacks from bolts? Ie could they dodge off a bridge?

Does swimming skill improve the speed creatures might move during their limited time one might have in lava or magma

[BuGGaTon]

Oooh and can you shoot down z levels through fortifications you're standing on?

[pisskop]

Yes to all three.  Though the ai wont really shot things like that reliably

[BuGGaTon]

So narrow bridges over a magma lake could have hilarious consequences when the marksdwarfs start peppering the enemy!

[pisskop]

It would.  Also funny would be your dog snapping at your dwarves (and them dodging) on the bridge as everyone tried to russ by each other.  Mind traffic

[BuGGaTon]

Haha. Indeed. I think it'll be a set of 5 1x7 retracting bridges which will be three narrow ones during sieges and 5 wide at peace time should I need to acquire goblinite or accept caravans.

[Eldes]

Why are my crafting buildings randomly exploding?
-I have hostile thralls on the surface, but I'm many z-levels underground.
-I have one melancholy dwarf, but that was actually CAUSED by the dissolving of the workshop he claimed.
-I have only 15 dwarves
Huh? Makes no sense.

Also, every time I try to type notes, any letter that is also a command (like d for delete), cannot be a part of a note because it keeps executing the command (so I cannot type bridge because the d tries to delete the note). I'm pretty sure that's a DFHack problem, but I have no idea how to fix it.

[BuGGaTon]

Check for roots of trees or cavern type trees growing into them. I think there's a bug that underground soil and muddy stone usually elligable for saplings is causing some issues with workshops deconstructing and often this is resulting in crashes.

I was getting that too.  Fixed itself when I made changes to my dfhack.init.  Pretty sure it was the confirm plugin.  Just remove it from the enable list and see what happens?
