Thanks, the fort i am buildin' then

Do fbs only appear in their own underground region, or do they come to your fort from all over the world?

I heard the DFHack command vdig was incorporated into vanilla DF, where do I find it?

On the designations menu press 'a' until it says "a: Automating Ore". Then designate part of a visible vein for mining.

I think both - colossal titans and dragons are not cave-dwellers.

How are migrants generated these days? Do they come out of thin air like before, or are they drawn from the site populations? I remember in 0.34 they were drawn from site populations.


However, the world that has 0 dwarves alive in the world according to legends viewer and my fortress is still getting heaps of migrants..

[Telgin]

So far as I know, the game draws from sites where it can, but if it can't get enough migrants then it does generate them from nothing.

Is there a way to pre-bury parts of dwarves? (E.g. lost leg.)

I'm pretty sure there isn't. The best you could do is to dump them on the same square as the coffin and make sure there are doors to stop the miasma spreading.

I have a specific morgue room.  All dwarves and dwarf accessories go in there, and many rot to bone before I bury them, but they do it away from the refuse pit

Thanks for answering! So bronze colossus, dragon, roc, etc, only appear in the region they settle down, while procedurally generated forgotten beasts come from all over the world? That'd be good.

[pisskop]

In Adventure mode at least Ive heard of BCs and Dragons residing in a lair while currently and actively prowling a conpletely different region.

[§k]

That's something good to know! There's roc in the other end of the land.

There were 27 forgotten beasts in the world I play. 24 of them are killed. 1 of them works as a webber in Onulked. I'm waiting for the last two!

Anyone experience with magma trapping (i.e. trapping magma creatures)? I arranged some traps etc. but is there anything I can do to encourage them swimming into it?

[pisskop]

Are they aggressive ones?  Can they leave the magma?

  Consider baiting them with a critter and/or funneling them into your traps placed outside the magma.  And selectively leave a path to your base for them to path for.

In the magma itself . . .  That's water trapping with extra Fun.  As in hard to do even without the burning to death.
