Yep. My dwarfs have been getting water from it for a wounded soldier. Whenever I check the contents of their buckets it says the water is stagnant. 

[Morsigil]

^ Do you have enough empty bags for the seeds to be stored in?


I followed the digging examples on the wiki for getting a well with flowing water, but I'm getting stagnant water from my current well setup anyway. Could someone please point out what I'm doing wrong?

It was the bag thing, as I found out in this other thread I posted: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=45688.0

I figured since they were going into the barrel that it was a valid storage space. Little did I realize....

It didn't help that my bag kept getting stored in the furniture section (5 levels down) as opposed to the seed section.

I captured a titan by accident. It's got a few injuries, and killed a vaulable military dwarf and a dog.

Should I throw it in the bottomless pit, or the barracks?

The barracks. The pit is a waste, unless you later throw goblins in there to be dismembered by the titan.

Well, I TRIED the barracks. It escaped, killed the philosopher, and was wrestled to death by a recently-recovered champion.

Okay, what the fuck, count?
Seriously. He likes humans for their stature, and cats for their aloofness. I just caught him raiding the dump pile, and making off with a human-sized leather skirt decorated with cat bone.
What the fuck?

I've got a little question. I was planning on starting a mega-project where I have my fortress built almost entirely from glass suspended in the air over the desert on a pillar. Not like a support pillar, but I was just going to surround a thick staircase column with wall.

I know that water runs off the edge of the map, but with sufficient pump-force, is it possible to suck enough water out of an underground (or above-ground) river to fill the entire map up ten z-levels the the base of the fort?

Otherwise I'm just going to have to make the pillar out of bauxite or something and pump the map full of magma.

Short answer: Nope.
Long answer: A river just doesn't have the output, but theoretically with an aquifer you would be able to pump up as much water as you want.  It would take an ungodly number of pumps to do what you're talking about, though, and would bring your FPS to around 1-2 no matter what.  You're way better off using magma, building a huge wall to hold the water in, scaling it down to a smaller temporary flood the world kind of thing, or building in an ocean/lake.

Is there any way to see a personal kill list for my dwarves?

[nil]

(v), move cursor over dwarf, (p), (z), (k).  If there isn't something saying "K: View kills" at the bottom of their personal owned objects and holdings menu (the above 'z') it means they've never killed anything.

Do rocks drain FPS if they are quantum-stored in one tile?

Can i build large rooms with grates/bars as floors when i place a support under every grate/bar that is not on the edge?

If your noble has some bizarre fetishes, that's between him and the dwarven tabloids.

Pretty much, although obviously that makes it easier to atom-smash them (even if you haven't already built one, you could build one below it and channel out the floor to drop the rock into place.

If I had to guess, I'd say it would but that you'll find it very difficult to get the game to allow you to build past the edges (maybe something with temporary constructed floor scafolding will be necessary).  You should try it and report back, for science.

does the magma in a glowing pit refill if it has a connection to the bottom? So that it acts like a magma pipe?

Glowing pits act as chasms, not magma vents.  The small pools of mama (that don't reach to the bottom won't refill.
