New worlds, ported saves, .40.17 unpacked over an old installation or in a new folder, it's all the same:

in .40.17, smelters can only do the "reaction" jobs, all ore smelting jobs are unavailable, i.e. not even listed in the "a" menu.

Workaround: order your smelt ore jobs through the manager, this works (both in a ported .40.16 save and a new game, .40.17 extracted over an older installation).

I've got a river full of carp and carp fry. I want them GONE! Airdrowning them should be easy enough, I just wanna know if my butchers will butcher airdrowned wild creatures?

[smeeprocket]

They will for wild things as long as you have them set to collect refuse outside. But, the question is will they get all of them fast enough.

[pisskop]

build a few butchers, tanners, kitchens shops along the river with small  food and refuse stockpiles besides them and set upa  task force with only butchering, tanning, cooking and refuse hauling.

depending on how safe you feel, use burrows or a meeting  area to keep them topside.

That would be a worthwhile effort if I had set up my fort like a newb. You could piss on the butcher shop from the refuse pile outside if there wasn't a single layer of soil between it and them. I ain't worried.

Are there evil oceans - I mean with water in it? Whereever I embark the supposed evil ocean or lake is empty.

Of course.  Sea monsters gotta live somewhere.

If its persistent across all evil oceans and worlds at all temperatures than its likely a bug.

how can I best prevent my fps from dropping over time? I use dfhack to clean things up but any successful fort I have ultimately dies from it before I can complete any long term projects.

Short summary of relevant wiki pages: Small worlds, small embarks, less caverns, less dwarves, less crap, quantum stockpiles and no waterfalls.

So I just genned a world and it apparently has a forgotten beast made out of black diamond.  If I encounter this thing, how fucked am I?

[pisskop]

:!  no rock or gem can stand up to dwarven steel.  Especially when a dwarf wields it

[smeeprocket]

okay so I finally found a good embark for my giant sperm whale farm, however, when I use dfhack and do region-pops list-all, giant sperm whale is not on the list. Is it possible it will be generated or should I continue trying different embarks until I find it on the list? Is it possible it doesn't exist in my world?

Depends on how you feel about solving the problem by dropping a bit of cave roof on its head...

Anyway, my question. I embarked on a site that purported to have neighbouring elven, goblin, kobold and human civs (and dwarves, of course). In the second year, the elves showed up just fine, and I of course stole everything they had that I wanted even a little. The humans, however, never showed, and no thieves and snatchers have been appearing. The snatchers I find especially odd since for a while there were a bunch of unguarded babies literally crawling around outside, pukin' errywhere (I'm not sure if these two things are bugs - migrants who arrive with babies will take a good long while to actually pick up their tots, and babies seem to be born cave-adapted).

I wanted BLOOD! SLAUGHTER! And commerce. So what gives, huh?

A talc floor dropped on it will kill it instantly.

Is there a known way to deploy the venom you can acquire from caravans?
