I recently realized I can make the dwarves dump refuse on the orders menu, so i dont need a minecart to get the garbage thrown into a pit for atomsmashing.

Minecart stops can now be set to dump in different directions after they are built.

Minecart stops can now be set to dump in different directions after they are built.  So I set up a simple "dump refuse into the volcano" setup by setting up a minecart QSP next to a hatch with the stop set to "no dump".  Then once it is filled up, open the hatch and set the stop to dump that direction and it dumps it into the hole.  Also dumps cages of beasties I don't want just as easily, without messing with garbage dumping zones.

RRSR
RRH

With R being the refuse piles and H the hatch.  The dwarfs load up the minecart as if it was going to dump into the recieving pile, but it ends up getting dumped in the volcano instead.  And it gets dumped at my will after I lock the room so no one decides to go lava surfing (and nothing flies in from outside because of the hatch).  I'm not sure if dwarves look into minecarts as they are loading them, so I'm not sure if it is cutting down on "was terrified seeing a goblin die" from seeing corpses or not.
OOOOOOOOH

I see what I was doing wrong now. Let me just go fix my goblin clothes dump.

Dumping goblinite from a constructed cage will cause the dorfs to release the goblin and put it in a  new empty cage.

Constructing an artificial pond near a volcano for fishing purposes results in the odd announcement "there is nothing to catch in the volcano."

Toady is truly awesome with him attention to most details.

  Did you know that using DFhack to embark on a tombs let's your dwarves activate mummies?  And that those mummies disappear (as in suddenly get removed from the unit list) for some reason after a day or three?

Maybe they are silicon based creatures instead of carbon.

You can only fish for magma crabs as much as you can for carp, that is, not at all because they are creatures and fishing targets "vermin" fish. But if such fish were modded in and set to occur in magma (and, obviously, not burn or melt), you might be able to catch something...



Magma near a contaminated wall won't clean it, but a fire on a tile next to it will do so with ease.

Dwarves will actively avoid tiles covered in any amount of magma, but they aren't clever enough not to push wheelbarrows into it.

Burning things in magma now pulps body parts, but AFIAK still can't kill zombies on its own.

Well pulping a zombie's upper body or head permakills it so if magma burns cause pulping then zombies SHOULD die and be incinerated.
