I don't bother turning off rent or economy. I find that my huge masonry, smelting, hauling and dumping projects keep everyone employed.

Elves do it in trees. Humans do it in wooden structures. Dwarves? Dwarves do it underground. With magma.

I generally will make a soil type sandy, since I find sand is actually pretty uncommon in good embark locations.

I have done made all "sandy" soils into [SOIL_SAND]. It's silly that I couldn't otherwise harvest sand from soil that has sand in it just because it's not all sand.

The thing that confuses me about dorfs is this. Dorf 1 dies in an avalance or somesuch. Dorf 2 is friends with dorf 3 and dorf 1. Dorf 2 berserks because of his friends death and kills dorf 3. also a friend. W. T. F.

I use Dwarf Companion to make sure my critical caravan people are not deciding to fall asleep at the wrong time (broker, mayor, squad leader guarding the depot).

I also change the mood requirements to be sure no one goes insane based on items I don't have.

I actually like playing with the economy. Unlike a lot of players, I don't have dedicated smelters, tanners, butchers, etc. If you're designated a hauler you're a smelter/thresher/butcher/tanner/miller/mason/mechanic/pump operator/siege operator/hauler. It gives me a good reason to keep a lot of things going.

I turn rent off though. The lack of a supply/demand mechanic makes them stupid right now, if you have 200 rooms, all of them with a value of 2000, they'd still be cheap to rent in a fort of 100 dwarves because there are so many of them.
