probably to show that he hates rats. it's funky.

Is there some way to take aquifers out of the game?
b) Replace all the [AQUIFER] tags in your raws (for stones) with !Aquifer! or something.

Won't that cause bugs?
It ignores anything not in [brackets], i.e. plaintext, so yeah.

Also, from when you asked if mineral scarcity can be set in advanced worldgen parameters - I checked, and it can't.
Well that's a bug obviously...

I wrote a Windows batch file to generate a bunch of worlds using the command line options. However, the game appears to require some sort of input at the end of each world gen. You don't actually need to press 'Enter' to save the world, any key press or mouse click will do, but the game needs some sort of input. This completely negates the advantage of having command line options. Is there perhaps some flag I am unaware of, "-noreallysaveitwithoutaprompt" or something?
hmm, try the modding section maybe? i dunno.
triple ninja:
Its a scarerat, it scares other rats away by being larger than them.

Actual answer: Statues, engravings, etc. are pretty much random. The "detests rats" thing just means that he gets a bad thought from seeing rat vermin.
yes.

Did the options to search for sites by metals get taken out in .21? I didn't see an option to include 'shallow metal(s)' and 'deep metal(s)' when I looked for a desired location.

Come to think of it...I also don't think I saw an option to control mineral scarcity when I genned the world.

I checked the options again. Mineral scarcity control is simply not there.


Also, your avatar is terribly overkill. And therefore, dwarfy.

What labor does nest box construction use? Specifically, construction of wooden nest boxes.

I think Furniture Hauling. You could always q over it before it's build to see what it needs.

Nah, I experimented around a bit and found that it was the respective craft labor. Woodcrafting for wooden nestboxes, Stonecraft for stone nestboxes, etc.

Thanks though!

i've seen it in places, but im wondering, if i were to dig out an area 1 z lvl below surface(or more?) and channel out one square all the way to surface, then put a floor grate there, would refuse put in that area not cause miasma? it'd help, cuz i noticed that my outdoor refuse pile is starting to fill up, i know i can make it bigger, but it takes a while cuz of my defenses lol

Creatures that are brought along as living artillery, (being building destroyers) are generally not military, but can have civilian skills.

If I build a coffin, put a corpse in it, then deconstruct it, does the corpse remain in coffin?
