Do military dwarves need some sort of chest or cabinet in an room assigned to them to store stuff in, hiding random bits of clothing all over the fort is getting a bit tedious.

They will store their unworn personal clothing in a cabinet.  Or on the floor of their bedroom if they don't have a cabinet, but only one item per floor spot, so if there's already a stone there, they won't store dirty socks on that spot....

Ok, so I need to assign them some bedrooms with cabinets then. Thanks.

So how long do tower-caps and fungiwood take to grow? I started an underground wood farm. Nothing huge, but it'll give me a few extra woods to be chopped in a safe area.

Also, cave moss/aboveground grass doesn't prevent saplings from spawning, right?

However, I am afraid that grass will grow back over the fireclay at some point.
Is there some way I can keep that fireclay tile exposed?

It isn't necessary. Sand and clay zones can go over grass-covered tiles of their respective soil stuff.

hmm, I lost a sand zone when it got overgrown by moss. 
I figured that it would be the same for the clay.

In the newer versions, you can designate over grass-covered tiles, but dwarves will not collect unless it's exposed. A workaround I use is to also designate the same zone as a pasture -  animals will eat the grass, exposing enough tiles for collection.

Edit: you can also designate over clay/sand walls, which will never be covered by grass.

Is there a way to move tombs that have already been filled?

So I was reading some figurines my dwarves made and... What are Twilight Brides?

If It's what I think... My world may have a very fucked up history.

I haven't done science, but I've run a lot of tree farms. It seems to be semi-random, in that every month or two a certain percentage of sapling trees sprout into full-grown trees. Mushroom trees work the same way.

No, grass doesn't stop anything from spawning.

What happens to the natural landscape - trees, grass, etc - if I cave the entirety of it down one level? Two levels?

Not without desecrating the grave.

I'm fairly sure that all the leafy green stuff will get destroyed, but it might grow back at random-- somewhat like saplings do?



What's the effect of changing pregenerated history length? Less civ development early on or something? I choose short usually since my computer's not too fast.

Oh dear.

Looks like my dwarves had one of them as a queen for a while.

Not quite. If a creature gets taken as a night creature spouse, all references to said creature are changed retroactively.

Not much of a spoiler, true, but it's a neat thought to keep. Edward Pattinson fandwarves, lol.

I started a new fortress, and i need an anvil BADLY. Plenty of iron, and i have like 4 smiths (curse you migrants!) but i have no anvil. Its already almost winter (Timber 13th), and im worried that the caravan wont come for some reason. What do? Oh, and one of my smiths is in a fey mood.

Nevermind. They came. All is good.

[Renzuko]

alright!

so, im working on a dodge trap entrance, and i realised i can only make it 9z lvl's down. now if i were to say, line the bottom with upright spikes, will the 9z's and spikes kill the things that dodge? or is just the 9z's fine?
