That's what I needed to know! Thanks.

Constructed floors never growth anything to my knowledge. It has to be natural ground. Let me know if this is changed with clay floors, but I doubt it.

Any constructed floor counts as a building, as does any farm plot, they can't overlap. Also, cave plants don't grow on mud on constructed (or smoothed) floors as they do on soil or muddied rough stone.

Is there any use for plump helmet man plump helmet man tissues?

What purpose do tools like ladles, carving knives, cleavers, and cauldrons serve?

In Adventure Mode, selling for chump change.

In Dwarf Fortress mode, melting down.

No, your dwarves won't eat the flesh of sentient creatures, and even if they did plump helmet man tissue doesn't have the right tags in the raws to act like an edible meat product.

Shouldn't it act like a plant?  Or am I overthinking a fictional creature?

It should, but it doesn't, because it's in the wrong form.  Your dwarves won't eat a random chunk of edible material unless it's the right type of item.  Just as glass from a forgotten beast made of glass can't be used for anything, plump helmet tissue from a plump helmet man can't be eaten.  It is possible to mod plump helmet men to actually yield edible plant material objects when butchered - I figured out what they're missing and what needed to be added when I created Tofurkeys as an experiment.  The plump helmet material needs to have the [BUTCHER_SPECIAL:MEAT:NONE] added, and possibly [MEAT] as well, in order to produce edible items when butchering them.

They do not put them on. However, you can work around this by assigning everyone a uniform made of civilian garments. Just leave them on inactive duty. Or, you know, don't. 

too lazy to make squads for 150 dwarves. As it is I feel kind of silly making tons of clothing and filling their rooms with cabinets.

People were asking about a warning system for dangers, I use the sound mod and the battle sounds help no end if there is a disturbance going on, or a thief about etc.

You can mod the sounds to be anything, and even if you disable everything else in it, I imagine this would be a useful warning system to have. Little details like reminding me of events are so helpful if my attention is elsewhere at the time.

Anyway check it out, if you are new it will likely help a lot till you get the hang of things, it did for me!

Deadly blood. Just got a Forgotten beast, called the Gravetomb the Bones of Murder or something similar. A flying leech with scales made of slate and deadly blood. Thankfully it was dispatched without too much trouble, with a feet as the only casualty.

Now the problem is that there is a puddle of deadly blood near my Barracks. I put a Restricted movement cost on it in the meanwhile, but how do I get rid of it before someone stupid kills everyone?


I was also wondering if Elite Marksdwarves/Weaponlords do anything other than looking cool.

1) Build a wall (or maybe floor) over it? (dunno if this'd work).

2) Wash it away with water.

3) Was it away with Magma.

4) try getting the DFhack pack & using DFcleanmap on it?

This will work.  Build and then remove your wall, or else build a floor over it.
