Does constructing a floor over a hole to the outside prevent the area below it from being sunny (i.e. preventing cave adaptation?)

Once an area is 'light' it will never become dark, no matter what you do to it.  roofs, bridges, floors, glass ceilings, nothing with destroy the light.

Great - and I forgot, can constructed walls/floors be smoothed/engraved?

[Telgin]

Nope.  Well, there is / was a bug that let you do that, but I don't know if it still works.  It's not an intentional feature [yet] anyway.

OK, third question - my two legendary miners have just started flashing blue.

Once a dwarf becomes legendary in a skill they start flashing blue.

[Telgin]

Or they could be thirsty.  Are they flashing between a dwarf and a blue down arrow, or just flashing a different color?

Do walls and floors (non-constructed) NEED to magma safe material too, so if my floor is andesite will it eventually melt through, or is it only for buildings and items that magma safe is needed.

Natural floor/walls wont melt.  Neither will constructed walls/floor tiles.  Anything made with (b)(C) is magic and will never get targeted, destroyed, or melt.  Stuff on them will burn and die, but not the tiles themselves.

Hah, and this entire time i've been making buffer constructions around natural walls and floors thinking they would melt. So much time and resources wasted.

Is there a way to turn blackberry/raspberry/whatever- berry plants into something usable?

They keep taking up space in my food stockpiles from farming and gathering, and I can't figure out how to turn them into useable components.

Try utilizing minecarts and/or drawbridges. They might be usable as projectiles.

(To more properly answer the question: No, I don't think you can process them without modding.)

[Telgin]

Not yet, no.  It's still one of the big unfinished things for .40.x.  I'm hoping Toady gets to it sooner than later, but so far as I know there's no hints of a timetable on it yet.

[stormyseasons]

Okay thanks. Time to dig down into the magma sea and make a magma dump...

I wanted to ask if the dwarves (and fortress animals) growing in age but not in size bug has been fixed by Toady in the latest version.

If not, would someone be kind enough to direct me to the df hack fix for the bug? I think someone made a fix back when this was still breaking news.

Fixed by Toady, in .40.0x
