[NJW2000]

I have around 4000 prepared meals of mostly excellent or better quality, with 9000 in food stocks and 2500 in drink within this. Thus 4000/6500 or 8/13 of my food is prepared meals, generally roasts, as I have many ingredients, stored right next to the tables.

Many of these ingredients are varied, as I have just bought out a caravan.

When I use [t] to spy on my dwarves, however, the last half-dozen dwarves have ALL been eating meat, fish or berries alone, not meals. I have yet to check if this is due to preferences, but it still seems unlikely, and bad thoughts come from too much raw food. Any suggestions - anyone encountered this bug?

[Putnam]

I highly doubt it's a bug, more likely a coincidence.

[NJW2000]

I think you might be right... Just saw a dwarf eat a roast. Still, weird.

Why are my Marksdwarves choosing to use melee? A squad, all fully armed with crossbows and ammo, keeps deciding that the best way to take down a web-slinging forgotten beast is to run straight at it. I've tried stationing them some distance away, putting them in a burrow, and restricting an area, but once they see that mangled fur of the giant three-horned opossum they can't help but give it a hug. Is there at least some way to trick them into behaving?

What, exactly, governs werebeast infection? Bite attacks have some unreliability involved.

[Putnam]

Bite attacks.

Syndromes are weird.

The bite attack actually has to break skin in order to pass on the curse. If the bite just bruises the dorf, they're fine. Tears and rips, on the other hand, means you should expect Fun.

My understanding is that unless the meal actually includes a preferred ingredient, the dwarf will get the same satisfaction from a masterpiece roast as a plain plump helmet. Since most dwarves have culinary preferences I can't match (e.g. Giant buzzards), I see cooks more as money makers than anything else.

Make sure they have combat ammo, and haven't filled their quivers with training ammo too much to add combat ammo. If they have the right ammo, you might be able to fix it by blocking their walking access to the FB.

Is the name 'Kogan' unisex?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Because this King of mine has a mommy and daddy whose names are both Kogan.

[NJW2000]

I have an adventurer with High Strength and Agility and Toughness, an archer, and I carry 2 full waterskins, a copper bow, a quiver, though with no arrows, about 4 units of food (meat or berries), and my armour weighs a total of 23+22+9+3+3+2+2+25=89 urists. I seem to recall wearing full iron plate and mail on a superior agility and strength character, so was I experiencing godhood then? Or is there something odd going on?

Oh, wait, it was the iron greaves. Should I get chainmail leggings? Or will I just have to go "unprotected"?

What exactly are you asking?

[NJW2000]

Basically, any tips on carrying large amounts of stuff? I'm just not used to having to think about weight problems... I can't walk at 1.000 any more, is this just due to playing as peasant not demigod?

[Putnam]

Get stronger, but not too strong. Thankfully, you can't actually get too strong without raising the STRENGTH PHYS_ATT_CAP_PERC.

[NJW2000]

Unfortunately, typing "hit the gym" into the dialogue menu does nothing... how do I get stronger? I've found that weight isn't much of a problem when you get better range, but still, any tips?
