Don't forget the lick interaction. XP

Assembling instruments is made in the craftdwarf's workshop, which uses a whole bunch of different skills depending on what you make and the material(s) used, so cochramd's question is quite relevant. I suspect the answer is whatever skill was used to create the instrument body, based on some vague recollection of that having been stated/suggested. A definite answer would be useful, though.

I did some !SCIENCE! on the matter and updated the wiki; just check the bottom of the page on instruments.

Thanks for the reference! Just to show that I've looked at it I can pick a nit: Leatherworking seems to be a possible assembly craft as well, and should probably be added to the footnote.

Would it be a simple thing to enable regular non-dwarf migrants now? Considering how multi-cultural civs are, it's actually a bit strange how they still seem to be all dwarves these days.

Apologies if they actually exist and I've just missed them so far.

[TheFlame52]

For that matter, Do you have any plans to make races other than dwarves playable?

[NJW2000]

Elves kinda are, if you know how to get em to make wood

That's on the development page (including goblins and organizing raiding parties and such).

Oh, did I miss that? I better go fix it.

In DF, scrolling a mouse's scroll wheel forward zooms the map out, and scrolling it backwards zooms it in. This is the opposite of most applications- why is this, and are there any plans to change it?

The default is odd, but those are keybinds for "button 4" and "button 5" that you can change if you like.

First thing I change with every new install. Since no-one ever remarked that it was strange I had assumed my mouse was the problem...

I never willingly zoom in or out myself.

[Eric Blank]

Drives me mad when my resolution scale changes and I can't get it back just-so.

[TheFlame52]

I find it useful for when I need to take a picture of the whole map, like when I want to prove that yes, I did build a wall all the way around hell.

[HiddenEyes056]

On the topic of resolution and scrolling, can we make it possible to check what your current resolution is? Normally, I scroll in to get my favoured resolution, but have no idea what I've set it to, so I have to do it manually each time.

If this is currently possible, or if there is a similiar work-around, I would love to know too.

I think it gets logged to standard output with PRINT_MODE set to 2D, although I'm not sure how you could view that on Windows - maybe try launching DF from a command prompt.
