I had this werebeast-cursed dwarf tantruming and sowing chaos in his human form (after toppling a temple statue in his anger), so my guard capt decided to jail him. He transformed mid-arrest, but she just kept dragging him to his cage, like it wasn't a big deal. Ha! Currently trying to figure out how to move the cage to a safe location, and wall it up, before his sentence is over.

Cave blobs can be butchered.

Spoiler: This yields a skin (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: that can be subsequently processed (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: into leather. (click to show/hide)

When a militia-dwarf is told to "station" itself somewhere, it will pick a random location within a 7-by-7 square centered around the chosen station spot.
When enough militia-dwarves are told to station themselves around the same point... a formation emerges.



Order from chaos.

It seems that aquifers don't appear or form in embark regions containing a mountain peak ^
Not sure if it's typically don't, don't ever, or might, just extremely rarely, but I can't make it happen in 0.44.12.

it's rather rare in our world too to have them in mountain regions.

It might have something to do with mountains being where plates collide

In a reanimating biome, stationing a hunting dog (or in my case, a hunting giant cave bat) in the butchery is a low-cost way to deal with the constant stream of reanimating skins and wool that freak out the farmers.

Picking up a cage causes it to open. Dig a room below the prison, wall it up, then collapse the floor around the werecreature so he drops down into the walled-in room.

I don't know that ones is trivial. It lets us know exactly how large to make archery towers to force archers to man dwarf the fortifications. Just need to put a wall just outside and another just inside that radius so they stand where they're needed.

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind next time that happens. You see, this time the dwarves didn't release him (even after his screen showed "No sentence pending"). Not sure if it is a bug? He's still being brought water and such, so the good thoughts from that keep him (barely) from going nuts. I think I'll just let him stay.

I think you can maybe designate the space his cage is on as a temple, so he'll pray. Might be worth a try.

Good idea, actually! That way his sanity would be more secured. If not and he loses his mind, I'll arrange an arena for him to "entertain" the invaders.

I'd imagine his jailmates will get pretty annoyed, as he has nothing to do but pray! Guess that's a way to keep dwarves in line.

Getting sent on an exploration or raiding mission counts as community service in the dwarven justice system. At the same moment when the criminal dwarf exits the map, their sentence turns into "No Sentence Pending." This status will remain after the dwarf comes back from the mission.

That should proooobably be reported as a bug. Maybe.

Due to how easy it is to hit any given body part on a zombie, and due to how how long it takes to kill a zombie with any given strike, undead sieges result in, far, far more tooth cleanup than usual.

However... for whatever reason, the sight of dead necro-zombies don't seem to cause dwarves any emotional trauma. So it all kind of balances out.
