Yeah, I'm still playing around with it, but either goblin ethics are different enough or my interaction worked. Been too busy dancing to remember to test it on someone I hadn't marked.

Hmm. I wish it was possible to instead just make them unintelligent on death automatically.

Marking them with a "get in mah bellah" interaction seems silly.

Eh, the only thing I find silly is that goblins are hit by this, I haven't tested elves, but they REALLY shouldn't be hit by it, as it is kinda one of their things.

[Random_Dragon]

Very odd indeed. ;w;

[Shonai_Dweller]

I also fixed the older bug causing constructions to crash when placed over tree tiles.

Woohoo, at last! Thank you Toady.
One less frustration to put up with while we focus on all the new ones.

[PTTG??]

Woah, I just noticed that there are tooltips in the craftdwarfshop->instruments/instrument pieces menu.

Is DF going casual on us now?

More seriously, are there plans to expand this system soon?

[Amperzand]

Yes, please. /\

It is in the raws.

This allows for old, clunky systems like this:

The workshop menu has two options: "Dispense liquid into..." and "Select liquid". "Dispense liquid into..." then opens a submenu containing "Jug", "Bucket", "Barrel" and "Flask".

it's so amazing

"Select liquid" is some DFHack wizardry you don't really need to know about to understand the UI setup.

[WordsandChaos]

I love how quick Toady is with his patches/updates after the initial releases. Legend.

[Amperzand]

Incidentally, what does it take to make bows useful in adventure mode? They seem to unavoidably lock the player out of acting for a good five seconds whenever you shoot, while being remarkably ineffective.

[Neonivek]

Well started as a bark scorpion man first... crashed

So I tried a Gila monster man and started underground (and I don't know how to navigate out of the underground)

I tend to stick to stealth when doing that. :V

Scholars stealing books from our libraries when they leave: intended, happy accident, or bug?

[Mr S]

Scholars stealing books from our libraries when they leave: intended, happy accident, or bug?

No, no. You just have to set the "Return to Library/Due Date" criteria with the Trade Liaison before allowing non fort scholars into your library. This is also where you set fines for overdue books.  Slade crafts work well for this.

Rated D for Dorf.

The same thing is happening in my fort. I assume that they're going to bring them back eventually...?

On a related note, is there a trick to getting scribes to copy written works in a library? My scribe isn't copying any works.

Here's an image of the entry for my library "The Golden Homes" in the Location menu (the other location is a tavern).

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

As you can see I have bookshelves, tables and chairs, writing material, and a scribe assigned.

I think the setup works generally because my scholar has filled numerous quires (many of which I have since bound into codicies). However, the scribe isn't copying any of them!

As you can see in the image above, I have "Total number of each to scribe" set to 2, so in my mind that should mean that the scribe has work to do until there are 2 copies of every work in the library? Is that not correct? If it is, does anyone know what I'm missing for the scribe to make copies?

The current scribe used to be the scholar that wrote most of the books/quires in my library, and he is a Talented Reader and a Novice Writer.

BTW, can you make a copy of a copy?
