Yup, in the guts of the artwork entries you'll find you can get stuff like a crappy rendition of a masterfully designed image of something, masterful renditions of crappy images, images of artists making the image they're in, and so forth.

If we ever get the ability to tattoo our dorfs you should expect them to have tattoos of them getting the tattoo with a smaller tattoo inside it that has them showing off the main tattoo to someone.

I wound have expected a dwarf with a tattoo of a human getting a tattoo of a dwarf getting a tattoo of a human getting a tattoo of ...

Web collection gains xp for weaver, but no stats (i.e. creativity).

In 40.xx, the best way to dig empty vertical shafts is to designate a full up/down staircase, then to channel it out from the top one square at a time. The old way, via channeling, no longer works because miners will climb out after channeling the first few squares.

One single yeti is more than capable of killing seven unarmed dwarves.

You can set traffic designations for tiles that aren't yet revealed and dwarves will respect them once they're mined out. Useful if you're penetrating an aquifer by freezing and want to avoid unfortunate accidents.

That's not trivial

All kinds of flying objects bounce off the surface of fluids when going fast enough, not just minecarts. Even the water "boulders" shot by minecart cannons can bounce off water surfaces.

Bronze colossi modestly explode apart when melted. At least in the arena, anyway.

So. It got me to thinkin'... If we turned bronze colossi into self-melting cats...? With very hot body parts...?

Have Fun kids. I'll get around to experimenting with the concept eventually.

If you give dragons a venomous bite but forget to adjust their temperature settings, anything that they bite except other dragons will melt.

Woodcutting now (apparently) trains Axeman. It may be a coincidence that all four of my woodcutters also have some axeman experience, but I'll do some checking to find out sooner or later.

Woodcutting doesnt train axe skill. Woodcutters gain axe skill by occasionally fighting wild animal with their axe when they are working outside.

In this case, there were no combat reports to support that. As I said, I'll be doing more research shortly. I'll post my findings.

As long as they involve different labors, multiple jobs can be active on a single workshop. So far I've observed 2 jobs 1 shop.

latias, you're not using any mods, are you? I've never seen that myself.


On woodcutting: No, it doesn't train axeman. But woodcutters carrying axes will train axeman in the danger room I have set up as a statue garden. So there's that mystery solved.

Changing a creature's blood to a gas or a solid, at least in 0.34, will render that creature unable to eat or drink anything. If a solid, everything will be "too hot to eat". If a gas, everything will be "too cold".

Which is a shame, because it's quite cool to see a cloud of blood fly out of people who get cut.
