Trying to figure out a way to recreate in a fort, currently supply of kittens just got mass-pitted to deatomizer. Now I'll have to wait for the next caravan, and trade with them instead of literally drowning them in baby mammals.

I thought deatomizers were used to distill perfume from the air into little glass bottles?

It was a possessed mood, and so was completely worthless aside from the value of the crutch. At least the next dwarf to get his legs chopped off will get a happy thought from it. I started him with adequate in weapon, metal and armor smithing and he is still at this level in those skills. He acquired dabbling in metalcrafting after he made a few lead chains. Any idea how the game selects which skill to use?

According to the wiki (and to my own experience) the highest moodable skill is used. I wonder if perhaps the game skips over embark skills and only uses ones that were gained through worldgen or through use?

End of the world. nuff said.

Nope, no device with the opposite function of an atomizer exists. Plus, it would probably be called an unatomizer, to eliminate confusion.

However, a giant atomizer for creating a cloud of suspended kitten particles in air might be useful.

do they have the falling damage reducing properties of non-atomized kittens?

[WillowLuman]

No, but they can bond with hydrogen puppies to form kitten-sulfide.

They're called stills.

They don't pull from the air per se, as much as from a vapor chamber over boiling syrup. Never heard of one for pulling perfume from the air, but if there was one I guess you could use it to recycle booze by condensing it from dwarf breath.

So, dwarves being useful by drinking? Maybe the world DID end...

The game knows how bad things are getting!

I worked out who my vampire was.

The high master social skills cheif medical dwarf (legendary diagnoser and surgeon) who had been elected mayor following thier wonderful performance in saving half my military after a particularly messy ambush.

Perfect cover.

I suspect 50 hammer strikes will be enough to render them quite harmless, and with no other medical dwarves to speak of, thier treatment will also be fitting.

ARGH DAMMIT. A while ago a siege operator had a child while she was sleeping. I locked the door to prevent the new spawn from leaving. I forgot to unlock it. Poor woman died of thirst and so will her baby soon as well. Also, as I type this a goblin slashes at a child and bags him. Grrreat. And a bit earlier a cave spider killed two of my woodworkers/cutters. ;__;


Edit; aaand another child snatched.

I turned the FPS cap off.
I was getting around 250000 FPS.
I didn't realize that the whole game moved faster until the first caravan left after about five minutes.
I abandoned and turned the cap back on.

Derped, wrong thread.

A facepalm moment I did have though was the irony of our useless beekeeper getting torn apart by giant hornets.

Also, a sparring dorf somehow slashed his partner in the right eye with the partial edge of his +large copper dagger+, lightly tapping the target. Get that dorf a frickin' medal.

So I made a danger room to train my soldiers: 5x5 square of lever operated spikes. Three lever pulls got me two deaths, one severed arm, three broken legs, one dented brain (huh?) with shattered skull and one hole in the pancreas.
I then went to search these forums for an answer: What the hell I'm doing wrong?!?
One of the posts, that search found was looking like that:

I have a single tile training room. The training upright spears are linked to a ...
