Yes, dfhack and Dwarf Therapist are vital. I cannot play the game without them. I spent too many hours fiddling with those menus to ever return to using them after finding a superior alternative.

[Blackchibisan]

Yeah, genuinely not here to flex but having worked through trial and error to learn the system, I'm sure those tools would be handy but I don't use them because Dwarf Fortress is like that old clunky car from the 70s that just refuses to die. It is tempermental and annoying but at least I can rely on it to get me where I want to go. You can tune yours up, but I'm stubborn and comfortable.

We've run into a problem in that I don't know what lever activates the gate to let things in....

EDIT: I also noticed some random sections of the caverns can have farm plots, no mud or anything...

It's in the dining hall, marked "South Keep Gate".

Now while I was double-checking that, I noticed-- Solitarian's still got all the healthcare labors enabled, but isn't actually any good at them. You might want to at least turn off diagnosing on her, since Scourge is the one who knows how to do that.

It's.... a little late for that

[Superdorf]

Ah. 

[wierd]

Updates??

[scourge728]

I forgot to mention: I'll likely be getting the turn finished tomorrow, as I have off then

[FakerFangirl]

Please dorf me in as one of the female children/architects.

[scourge728]

We do not appear to have any of those, Also: Just an fyi, We have aluminum, which is good for furniture

[Superdorf]

Dodok's our designated architect, female, and undorfed. She'll do!

[scourge728]

I'll be honest, I've been turning on arch for random dwarves since I've built several bridges.....
EDIT: I minimized it for a few minutes and my dorf and some other one were dead from zombies
EDIT2: Actually it appears solitarian, enemy post, some cheesemaker and someone titled weaponmooder all also died, but in different spots in the fortress
EDIT3: I'm not actually sure how my dorf died, the combat log doesn't appear to mention anything more than a minor bruise from the zombie, so I don't know how that happened
EDIT4: So, queens can't be commanders of squads

[wierd]

Well...

How are you having so much issue with zombies?  It is entirely possible to just turtle and wait them out if you think you cant handle them.

[scourge728]

The problem is it was IN the fortress, dwarf died.... somehow somewhere somewhen and then chose to get back up while I was looking at other stuff, killed a few dwarves and then a mason hacked it's head off with an axe that they had for some reason...

[wierd]

Should have smashed the body, then slabbed...
