I'm trying to figure out how to get water on said baby.

[Telgin]

Unless you've got some way of reliably flooding large parts of your fort, it's probably a lost cause without DFHack.  You definitely won't be able to engineer something in time to prevent the baby from burning to death, and there's no way to force one to go into water or get a dwarf to douse them.

Divert the river into your fortess.

_{I mean, it DOES technically solve the fire problem, so...}

[pisskop]

Actually.  I was playing a community fort and a wooden artifact caught on fire.  When I retired/unretired it to look I saw the fire was extinguished.  You could try that.

[Badger Storm]

Thanks.  This'll be useful for future reference.  How to deal with flaming babies: wall off the magma sea and take new mothers out of your military.  That way babies don't catch on fire in the first place.

Is adamantine cloth any stronger than leather or normal cloth? If so, I'd make some adamantine cloth, dye it black, and put expensive gems and bones on it. Maybe dragon teeth?

[Telgin]

It should be more resistant to damage when under attack, but it wears out just as fast as any other cloth when made into clothing.

[StagnantSoul]

Oh crépe! No adamantine cloaks for me then.

There's a dfhack script for that.
tweak adamantine-cloth-wear:    Prevents adamantine clothing from wearing out while being worn

If I gen and delete 10-15+ worlds every day (I'm very picky), will this eventually have a detrimental effect on my computer or end up consuming assloads of memory?

[pisskop]

purge your cache regularly, my kindred spirit.  restart DF after a few gens and clear out the errlog,.

But no more damage than any other intensive task.

[BuGGaTon]

Maybe don't do it too often on an SSD.

[Pink Photon]

Did I just see a dwarf grab something to eat out of a barrel that another dwarf was carrying?

[Larix]

Yes, they definitely do that. Most fun with soldiers, who don't sit down to eat - seems like they don't even bother to take the food out of the barrel, so they'll follow the hauler around _while eating_.

[Pink Photon]

Is that just for eating, or do they also now grab crafting materials, seeds etc. on the run?
