How do I make pots out of fire clay? 

I have a kiln.
I have plenty of fuel.
I have fire clay.

I give them the order to gather clay, and they have filled my clay stockpile full of fire clay and only fire clay.
I set my fire clay stockpile to give to my kiln.
When I select my kiln, I cannot give any order except gather clay.

I removed the stockpile link.
I ordered the dwarves to make a large clay pot. 
The dwarf went all the way to my trading post, grabbed normal clay and made a pot.
Then they refused to make any more pots.

Remember that you need fuel too, if you are taking only from links, the stockpile must contain clay and fuel to get the dwarves to make something.

That seems to have done it, thank you.

The yellow announcement text "You have been spotted!" indicates that sneak mode is no longer active against any hostiles in range.

I've never actually seen that message while playing in adventurer mode. Am I missing something?

Thats old datas, for 34.11.

The wiki might say the articles are current, but most some need revisions.  I was actually recently contemplating submitting a few updates myself.

In the current version, sneak mode gives no indication of success or failure.  But if you know something is hostile and isnt killing you, thats a good sign its working.  Ive snuck under a dragon before, for instance.

Isn't there supposed to be, somewhere, an on/off "switch" for aquifers, like in the d_init files or something?  I don't see it anywhere in that file.  Or is the aquifers on/off switch just a LNP thing?

[Magistrum]

It is just a LNP thing, you can manually go to the raws and remove the tag that designate the rock as aquifer-able for all rock layers and then it will just make a big hollow space where the aquifer would be.

How do I set Therapist to not show me vampire true names?  I updated from before they had that feature (i think) and its still showing me their true names when I do get them.

I finally gen a world with my wanted embark sites, only to find it has a zombie hydra of all things.  Fortunately, the fucker's halfway across the world in an evil glacier (of course it would be a glacier).  Unfortunately, I don't know if they're going to stay around there or take a trip northeast to visit my war unicorns.  How fucked am I?

[pisskop]

I dont think having multiple heads protects a zombie from pulping damage, so no more than usual.  Also, if its that far away you'll have plenty of time.

[smeeprocket]

do you have the seeds for the world or whatever I'd need to play in a world with a zombie hydra?

Hydras are pretty brutal, I lost more seasoned warriors to a hydra than I did to dragon simply because the dragon actually died fairly fast and shields blocked the fire.

How do I stop a baby (or, indeed, any dwarf) from continuing to be on fire?

[pisskop]

Water.  Dumping their stuff.  Time.  Prayers.  They can survive with maybe >40% surface burns (depending on their size), measured by the rule of thumb and what actually listed as 'melted'.  Bleeding out is the issue, not damage or a will check.

You can try to dump their stuff with an order and a nearby garbage site, but . . . !!Dwarves!!, be they adventurers or fort members, don't respond so well to direction.
