I'm pretty sure you can use Dwarf Companion to enable whatever labors on the children.

You will need to use a utility like Dwarf Companion (if it does it) or Dwarf Manager to edit your kids labours.

IIRC neither currently work (or work very well) in 40d9, so you will need to downgrade briefly to 40d to 'fix' your issue.

Are you talking about stone hauling to a stone stockpile? Or hauling stone you've designated to be dumped? Because the former needs Stone Hauling (or something) and the latter needs Refuse Hauling. Might as well enable all the hauling labours on the kids, if you really want them to work.

Mod your game to have children grow up in 1 year.

This causes them to be much less of a drain on society.

I am unsure of hauling but you can set children as pump operators in Dwarf Manager *See my sig and look down the list* They will be legendary pump operators by the time they are grown and will be much better prepared to deal with the economy because legendary people get what they want for free.

If you want your dwarf children to grow up in a year replace your creature_standard.txt with this.

thanks guys for all the help.

on another note, is there anyway to change the viscosity of water? or isnt it an externalised feature?

The properties of water aren't moddable in any way I can think of, short of tile hacking.
