Just had an Armorsmith mood and he grabbed the nearest metal (tin :p) and made a breastplate. However his armorsmith experience is unchanged. Is this a known bug?

Look at mood stuff in the wiki. Some moods don't give xp bonus.

Possessed moods don't give skills.

Ah thanks. Um, is there a way to let your dwarves actually wear artifact clothing? (mine seems to sit in the stockpile).

They have probably got attached to their

You can stick a specific civilian in a military squad that's not set to train and has no barracks, then assign them the artifact clothes as a uniform.  It sounds like a lot of work and is a lot of hoops to jump through, but that particular dwarf will never have to replace the artifact since it doesn't wear out.  You could probably assign it to a noble, for example.

I don't know if artifact clothes will get used otherwise.

[WanderingKid]

As far as I know even when set to train, their uniform is their uniform.  They won't need to change it unless you have miner, hunter, or woodcutter set for them (weapons are forced switch), depending on if the artifact fits in with the 'civilian' uniform they require for the job.

Hey guys,

I'd really like to know if its possible to conquer the whole world in Fortress mode or if you can't leave the borders of your embark.

Greetings,
Skyline

[Telgin]

Nope, can't leave your fort or send anything outside of it other than trade goods.  For now.  If you want to conquer the world, roll up a few hundred demigod adventurers and get started.

Is it possible to disable the clouds of leaves? What is a good set up for a hospital, so far I have 2 rows of 5 beds, 1 row of 4 traction benches, 6 cabinets and 3 bags. How do I get dwarves to clean up mud, while filling my well I accidentally flooded the well hall, I've got 3 bars of soap and everyone with cleaning.

[greycat]

Hospitals don't really need a "layout".  Just slap down some beds in a room and call it a hospital.

To clean mud and other contaminants, you just need dwarves with the Cleaning labor enabled, and incentive.  You don't need soap.  Unfortunately, dwarves are rarely enthusiastic about cleaning.  Having the area smoothed makes cleaning more likely.  If you want the mud gone RIGHT NOW, then don't wait for the dwarves to get around to it.  Build a floor or other construction on the mud and then remove it.

Damnit!
I've had a cave-in, because I forget to edit the ini. Do I have to start a new game now?

[Trif]

No, all the options in d_init (like cave-ins) can be changed mid-game. Just exit and re-open your Dwarf Fortress window for the changes to take effect.

Thank you kindly!

Is there a way to secure a fortification after it's already been filled to 7/7 with magma?
