How do I stop my designations screen showing priorities when I designate? The numbers annoy me, and I never use more than one designation.
 I just want to-be-mined space to be shaded in dark yellow as normal, not for it all to have "4"s on it.

Wish I knew.  I have noticed that if you dont change the priority of the designation at all you dont see it; it defaults to four.  And Im pretty sure that the priorities for tree-chopping, engraving, mining, herbology, etc. are all considered differently for this.

tbh, priorities are pretty sweet, because they let you tell who to dig what when.

I know that, but don't think I have anything prioritised, and want it back the old way to let dwarven democracy run it's course. I'm not one for complex underground systems, anyway.

Is there a reason why my dwarf can't equip a large iron dagger?

Can magma crabs
  • fly in air
  • swim in water
  • spit enough magma to one place to fill it with 7/7 magma
  • run out of ammunition
?

1. Pretty sure no.
2. No idea.
3. I think it might not turn into/stay as magma when it hits, but am not sure.
4. No. Only ranged weapons excluding blowguns on animal people do that.

Magma crabs throw fireball projectiles.  They don't create magma anywhere.

   [CAN_DO_INTERACTION:MATERIAL_EMISSION]
      [CDI:ADV_NAME:Spit molten rock]
      [CDI:USAGE_HINT:ATTACK]
      [CDI:BP_REQUIRED:BY_CATEGORY:MOUTH]
      [CDI:MATERIAL:INORGANIC:BASALT:LIQUID_GLOB]
      [CDI:VERB:spit a glob of molten rock:spits a glob of molten rock:NA]


This coupled with the tags
   [HOMEOTHERM:12000]

make them spit hot liquid rocks at people.  Which is technically magma.  Just not the magma that is a fluid.  Kind of like ice doesn't create the fluid water, it creates the item water.

Won't placing a magma crab in water cause the water to boil off into steam? I'm not quite what the difference is between HOMEOTHERM and FIXED_TEMP, but Magma Crabs have [HOMEOTHERM:12000], the same temperature as magma.

They do.  And then they cool off.  The insides of them may be 12000, but outside they can be cooled off to normal temperatures.

In that arena test the little bugger steamed it up for a few turns and then could swim fine.  Unlike say, my giant fire worm made of fire, the crab could swim under the water.  The giant fire worm actually walked through the shallow water as it parted the sea like Noah.

Wasn't parting of seas Moses' job? I thought Noah's one was to build a ship, get two of each animal and pray they will "be willing to commit to marriage" when the right time comes.

I have two problems that I don't know how to solve.

1. I cannot plant any above ground crops. It claims that "No Seeds Available for this location". In the stocks menu I can tell that I have: Carrot, Longland grass, and Rye seeds. I have checked, the space is outside, light and above ground.

2. My outpost liaison is a goblin noble, should I be worried?
