For some time now, Dwarven honor has been implemented. This means that when a dwarf spots an ongoing fight, they have a strong urge to join in. In my experience, the only way to prevent dwarves from taking the fight to the enemy with their fists is to prevent them from getting line of sight on them.

With my marks dwarves, I've taken to locking them into their burrow.

Well, they are all locked into their burrows. This is the problem, they aren't respecting it.

I believe he is being a little more literal.
Throw the keys to the gates away.

[scriver]

I think that is a little too literal. The door keys in my game are symbolical.

Is there a way to restrict certain dwarves to certain dining rooms? My current fort is going to have a castle for the nobility, and I'd enjoy it if my haulers weren't allowed to eat in the castle.

[Dunamisdeos]

You could create a dining room with like 8 tables for example and assign each one to a noble dwarf

[Telgin]

Short of some complicated burrow system, that's pretty much the only solution.  It does have the downside that the nobles will be eating in a comparatively dumpy dining room (a single table's value), but they might not care as long as there's at least one dining room assigned to them that's good enough.  I've never tried assigning more than one to a dwarf so I'm not sure how their feelings play out if you do.

[Dunamisdeos]

Make the tables and chairs out of platinum and carve everything, it'll be at least passable.

[Sutremaine]

I believe the penalty from shared rooms maxes out once a room is quarter of its base value. So if you have eight overlapping dining rooms, it's fine because each quarter-value room has seven other sets of furniture in it.

[scriver]

As a continuation on my bedside questions, since I'm now in the business of rearranging my whole bedroom arrangement - when do children need their own spaces? Do they use their parent's room and furniture until they come of age, or should I give children their own apartments?

[Dunamisdeos]

They will use it until they become adults. Adult dwarves only share rooms with their young children and spouse.

[Jazz Cat]

Darn... I'm planning on having tavernkeepers and performers in the taverns, too, so I don't think the dining room thing is an option for me.

Has anyone figured out a good way to keep scholars from walking off with your library's books, other than, you know, killing them?

Two libraries, one allowing visitors and with no bookcases, other only for your dwarves, with bookcases. Your scholars will be able t discuss with the visitors and both will be able to write, but the books will be stored in the library without visitor access.

Stock up quires, assign a scribe. Copy them all. Everyone's happy o/
