Can the eerie glowing pit tiles from DF2010 be used for permanent magma-safe item disposal purposes?

[rhesusmacabre]

Yes.

[Garath]

I find it interesting that the bugged tiles are all contiguous, as if whatever happened to cause them occurred as some creature was traveling around that corner.  I have no idea what could have caused it.  Definitely a bug, and it would be very useful to work out how to reproduce it.

Question: do trapavoid creatures, such as kobolds, titans, FBs, clowns, activate pressure plates they step on? And do [FLIER]s? They can't fly over them in my setup, but if they have 0 weight, it still can cause problems.

[vonFaust]

I have about 15 newly-made stockpiles, and I have 27 idlers standing around doing nothing. Why is this? There's a few just standing around where they entered too, they've made no attempt to even come into the fortress. They're going to get devoured by Werewolves sooner or later. Yes, all the idlers have all hauling options turned on. And yes, I actually have the supplies that are designated for storing. WHAT DO.

[Tirion]

Hidden objects cluttering the stockpile? Or can those migrants get in your fort at all? Maybe someone removed a ramp they shouldn't have...

[vonFaust]

Hidden objects cluttering the stockpile?

That's probably it, I didn't think of that at all. Now that I think of it, the entire z level I dug out had a rock in every square. Whoops. Lemme go peep it out real quick.

EDIT

Yep, you were completely right. Thank you sir.

[Talvieno]

Tirion - Trapavoid creatures won't trigger pressure plates. I don't know about flying creatures though, sorry.

A question of my own (adventure mode related): I can't seem to find pre-gen dwarven structures anywhere. I followed the map, I got the "***" at the top left that ought to indicate that I found it, but there's nothing there. No stairs, no buildings, nothing. Do underground dwarven cities exist at all? I know human villages do.

Without modding, even if you play a dwarf you start in a human town. This seems to indicate that dwarven sites don't show up at all, but I could be mistaken since I modded my game once I noticed this. Now my dwarves live in towns similar to the human ones. An important bonus for any dwarf player is that they now build shops so you can buy or steal armor.

All Dwarven Mountain Forts, Goblin Dark Forts, Elven Forest Retreats are not visitable in the current version. Welcome to the human lands by friends.

in my current fort I have encountered plentiful supplies of Galena and sphalerite (lead/silver and zinc). Do I actually have a chance to find useful ores in near those layers as well? I used to always strike magnetite or at least the copper/silver mix. I'm having to import massive amounts of weapons and armor! and on top of that, there are no human caravans anywhere!

I started over in a new world and.... WOW
hematite, obsidian (lots of it), cobaltite, galena, kimberlite (I think my fort will be a bit blue-ish)

And NO, completely NO immigrants... a wave of 3 and one of 2. How am i going to produce enough and excavate enough space! oh well, slow start

Regarding the migrants who just stop at the edge of the map, do you have a meeting zone set up? If so, can they get to it? Migrants always head to a meeting zone when they arrive and if you don't have one (or they can't reach one), they get confused and just stand around.

[desudesudesu]

Oh hai.

Whats this? It looks like river, this lightblue wawes MOVES, but I can walk and stand on them. Under them there is a river with water 7/7. And more, I can actually make channels! Yes, in brook.
Btw, my cart spawned on it. I was like "YOU MAD DWORFS", I really thought they embarked on water.

[khearn]

It's a brook.

I just ran into a very big problem in my fort that I have never run into in the past 12:

My dwarves are cooking the plump helmets I grow, and therefore destroying the spawns. I only realized that after they had also done it to most of my other plant spawns. How can I stop them from doing this? It's going to get VERY problematic soon, and I'd like to fix it before I get more spawns from a caravan and lose those too.
