Boogey men climb trees

edit: You can't eat boogeymen

Engraving frozen lakes is fun.

Items can block the construction of floors.

I thought everyone knew that.

[jaked122]

Items that block the construction of things are generally considered to have been a bad move as they made a lot of people very angry.

[Urist McVoyager]

Aren't the only items that block other constructions ones that have been flagged for other tasks? I've been watching my people build stone walls on the surface, and since the logs up there haven't been marked for use, people just move them and finish building after.

[Fleeting Frames]

Indeed, dwarves can't move tasked items. This shows up most frequently when building a wall on top of a rock pile - easy, 0-1 distances....third of the wall/floor gets suspended because somebody else is building a wall 1 tile to the right.

Of course, the fact that this blocking is possible pretty much shows that quantum stockpiling, beyond being the native and only way to use either track stops or dump designations, could also be trivially blocked. This helped me realize that lot of stuff listed as exploit on wiki is just unintuitive to our earth physics, or just better than .40d era stuff.

(But as counterexample, contrast repeating spears and making stone blocks for skilling up an ability to legendary with repetitive tasks - then contrast infrastructure in making 5 tile irrigated farm plot and designating whole map for plant gathering.)
EDIT:
Apparently, a ruler doesn't get restored to their rightful position when returning to home from captivity.

Spoiler: Behold, the royal tavern keeper (click to show/hide)

Guess there's something to those "princess in hiding" stories, eh?

He then proceeded to take revenge on the humans in 10 years hence, killing 1828 people in a single winter siege.
An unknown creature then murdered the demon of treachery and strength next year.

Smoothed ice melts into more water than non smoothed ice.

Bridges do not support walls

What personality trait determines whether a creature gets a good or bad thought from being confined?

Despite finding several creatures with good thoughts from being chained, I still haven't made much progress. It's either:
 - low violence
 - high perseverance (value)
 - high perseverance (trait)
Or maybe even all of those.

They don't have a preference for the chain material, do they?

[TheFlame52]

The thought is "he felt [emotion] after being confined", with [emotion] being something like patience, repentance, etc.

I've seen repentance near the end of one's sentence.

[TheFlame52]

I'm doing this study on caged animal men via gm-editor, so I don't think that's a factor. I have seen many dwarves happy to be free after being released, though.

I don't know why, but my first bet would be high lust.

But i don't think the game has come this far, yet.

Now i need to brainwash myself.

Sorry for the distraction.
