Is it possible to make a worn clothing pile? I don't see any obvious options.

Nope.  The standard(*) workaround is to create a clothing stockpile that takes from anywhere, and let that be your "used clothing" stockpile.  Then make another clothing stockpile that takes from the clothier's shop, and takes from links only.  This will be your "new clothing" stockpile.

Optionally, you can double-up the "used clothing" stockpile as a refuse stockpile (enable the Refuse category, but disable all of the individual types of refuse).  This causes it to become harmful to clothing.  Any clothing placed in that stockpile will now wear out very quickly.

(*) For certain values of standard.

Ah, yes, perfect! Thanks!

It's called the trading post.  You use 'g' to move the clothes there when the customers come to buy clothes.  I don't know what elves do with old worn out soiled dwarf clothes, but they sure love them.

I have a squad training that is "waiting for combat training"

Are they still waiting because the militia commander (the squad leader) hasn't arrived yet? Or could there be an alternative reason?

I just noticed there are also some "long bolts" as a option in "assign ammunition to military" screen. What are those for? Long crossbows?

When my dwarves commit crimes, they're usually beat senseless. The hammerer is clearly a harsh SOB, but it seems like it's a little overkill when a dwarf disrupts the labor process or breaks a mandate it gets his legs broken by a law enforcer with a silver warhammer. Like... Clearly, America's problems with the criminal justice system are minimal in comparison to the crazy shit my Dwarf Cops get up too.

Edit: My legendary miner just got beat to death for what I can only assume was my mistake for having him haul a banned export good to the depot and I traded it off. Whoops. Hot damn, though.

It's either an amazing "feature," or dwarven justice needs a nerf

Point 1: So you would rather your legs be broken because you have given that order?
Point 2: Silver is one of the best materials for bash weapons (war hammers/maces). If you want to have a law enforcer, why to give him such a strong weapon? Give him some wooden hammer, the better from some light wood.

That's a good tip, I looked at the wiki for density of materials and what not. It's just what the hammerer had beforehand, but I think I'll specifically equip him with something weaker.

I still think 20-40 hammer blows is a little crazy harsh, but my doctors got good training I guess...

Is anyone else getting a strange bug where removing constructed floors will occasionally transmute the floor to sand?

Ditto, I thought saplings couldn't grow on smooth floors even when they are muddy, but they are doing so.

(Adventure Mode) Is it possible to make companions less scared? Because currently my companions are always mentioning how scary everything is and sometimes they even panic for no reason.. uhh..

I haven't been playing for a while but as I've been keeping up with the patch notes I have the itch to start digging again. But I'm one of those people for whom random bugs and things just not working can quickly drain the fun out of the experience, how ever much they add FUN in the process. As I only have a few days before the holidays anyway, I'm trying to decide if I should start with the newest version or the older, slightly more stable one and then update next month when things are a bit more solid again. I'm leaning towards the first, but worried that I might shoot myself in the foot in some fashion. For example, I gather the world gen has been improved somewhat and sieges happen again so if I gen the world in the older version and then later update, might I be missing out on stuff and just be forced to restart anyway? Any advice would be appreciated.

Cross-posting from the adventure mode forum.

One of my traveling companions is classified as a spearman, but in all our battles she's only bashed enemies with a tower shield, never once using her spear. It's surprisingly deadly.

If I give her another tower shield and take the spear away, will she dual-wield them?

You'll miss out on, at the bare minimum, the procedurally generated instruments.
