Certain junk seeds like plum pits can't be cooked.

Noted. But its always useful to have some seeds that you can cook spare for the reasons i listed above. Letting them rot in garbage or firing them en masse from a bridge are a few amusing ways to get rid of them.

This is why i always build a (no barrel) seed bank for herbalists somewhere close to ground level

... what?  What do seeds have to do with herbalists?  Herbalists neither produce nor use seeds.  Only planters and cooks and pressers can use seeds.  Only brewers, millers, etc. can produce seeds, which come from the (non-cooking) use of a plant.

Well, OK.  Herbalists can produce seeds by eating a plant raw, but that generally will not happen near ground level, unless that's where your dining room is.

Herbalists can collect certain things from trees which are considered seeds- walnuts, pecans, almonds, macadamia nuts...

[greycat]

OK, yeah.  They can gather nuts (non-plantable seeds).  But I still don't understand FantasticDorf's "seed bank for herbalists ... with free booze as a byproduct" paragraph at all.  Is he just putting a seed stockpile up there so the herbalists can drop off their nuts more quickly, and get back to more gathering?  If so, I'm still dubious, because they tend to carry lots of plants/seeds around with them for a long time before dropping them all off en masse.  (This isn't like 0.34 where dwarves could only haul one item at a time.)

Apologies if i haven't articulated myself fluently.

The chain of production for my herbalists are that they go off and collect plants, i return said plants which then get used up any which way by my dwarves (personal preferences for instance make often what i bring back a hit at the dining tables without even being cooked) with the produce secured in a close by stockpile. All the goods are indiscriminately processed for the seeds which are then funneled by haulers into my no-barrel all bag seed bank.

Herbalists -> Gathered Plant Stockpile -> Processing (still/quern/workshop etc) -> Seeds gathered for bank -> Bags are ready to be collected for future farms without getting stuck within a barrel or applying another bag.

Should i require above ground farming, i will have a ample supply of seeds i can use. The processing byproducts are eaten and drunk by my dwarves. Quite simple really. Clear out the map of gatherables each season, churn it all up, collect the seeds, sit back and relax no worries.

Better bags, more profit from a surplus of seeds. What more could you want?

Did this Gray Langur fall off a tree?

[FrisianDude]

Yes, probably. If that's the entire extent of the combat log- it's likely.


I've also had underground reports of enthousiastic rock-climbing wild trolls losing their handhold on some cavernwall and bruising themselves, much the same as that.

If demons generate with enough bird anatomy, could they have slade gizzard stones?

[Bouchart]

Did anyone else notice that visitors get stuck in murky ponds a lot?

[FrisianDude]

yep

[gordy]

. What are your alternatives to dumping at track stops? Will they stock a stockpile from a stopped Minecart?

This must have been answered somewhere, but not in the wiki. What's the difference between woven and forged blue clothing?

The forged variety is probably   *warning spoilers* Candy - Link to the DF wiki for you if you dont understand the abbreviation *warning spoilers* which is a blue/teal colour and metallic (or you are talking about a mod-exclusive, alternative metal clothing). Whereas regular woven clothing would be dyed blue, via dimple dye (or other colours should you have a supply of dye to apply).

Yeah, I was mistaken; I thought the clothier's shop could work with it. Forged is the only option for the clothing.

"Adamantine" shows up on every single stockpile and material list in the game. No reason to put it in spoilers.
