Why not atomsmash them? Your dwarves never need to see a corpse.

I was looking for ways to take an elven caravan's stuff under two conditions:
1. Don't let them leave. (pisses off the elven civ, don't really want war yet)
2. Don't kill them. (corpses are traumatizing to dwarves, pain in the ass to deal with)

There's a glitch in the game where you disassemble the Trade Depot and you get all their stuff.

Will that method piss off the elves if the merchants leave?

For some reason Elves don't seem to care about having their stuff stolen. Or indeed about being slaughtered.
But touch their sacred trees...

It will piss them off, because the game calculates loss based on how much more money they make when leaving.

Atom smasher it is, then. Or does that also piss them off?

Unfortunately it does. As long as they are leaving with less money than they had, (or if they never leave ) they get a bit pissed. But elves are resistant anyway and it's hard to get them to attack you anyway, so don't worry.

Just use dfhack to turn the diplomat back on, then insult him repeatedly, before killing him.

When the elven armies come, just tell them that it was just a prank.

Today I found I had native platinum cut gems. But my embark has no metals, totally not valuable metals and absolutely not platinum at all. So what's happening here?

Turns out they're gizzard stones, and they came inside random hens and turkeys. Along with bauxite, saltpeter and some other rare minerals.
Talk about Golden Eggs Hen... ĦI've got Platinum ones!

żDoes this mean I can have a source of platinum gems if I import enough chickens? ( that's a question I've never thought I'd ask).

See if you can set it to melt. Then setting a forge to melt objects.

No, cut stones can't be melted. ĦBut they can be used for decorating stuff! (btw, 20 fresh chickens arrived but no precious metals inside them. Guess I had a lucky gizzard-roll)

[Grand Sage]

Oddly enough, The wiki doesn't list Chickens as a source of gizzard stones. Although it does mention that butchering things like elk-birds can yield a renewable source of them.

I guess that means that even animals who were born on your map can have stones in them that dont exist on your map?

Also, Gizzard stones, How the hell did anyone come up with adding them into the game?

[anewaname]

I like when moody dwarfs use gizzard stones. Thief-birds like vultures or buzzards are a good source of them, since they come in close enough for the military dwarfs to smack them down.

It is possible to build a door when there are walls on all 4 sides. But if there is an item on the ground, the dwarf will suspend the job claiming there's no path.
