In what stockpile does shell go in now? I laid a refuse but the dorfs didn't move it. (yes I have idlers)

[dresdor]

I can't get hunters to hunt...I have all jobs deactivated but hunting and trapping, and bolts assigned to them (and they are carrying crossbows) but they will not hunt...


any ideas?  there are wild animals around.

One of my dwarves has a minor cut on his hand that needs stitching (suturing), and I've seen medical dwarves arrive, carrying thread, standing there for a while, and going away again, bringing the thread with them. I'd consider this OK, if it weren't for the fact that the dwarf still needs suturing. Bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Confirmed bug

Where are 'bones' and 'shells' at in the stockpile menus now a days?

Under the Refuse category, it has two or three things from the old Refuse category and everything else looks like it got crossed with the Finished Goods category.


Edit:  Ah fuck it, it doesn't matter any more.  Fortress crumbled between my tree cutter/axedwarf/carpenter who went berserk because I couldn't find any bones for his Stick of Wonders or whatever he was making and the Miner who went berserk after watching his miner friend die to a cave-in.  Incidently they were at two opposite ends of the fort, so the poor folk inside had no where at all to run. 

Even Novice Axedwarves absolutely tear apart anything that's not trained at all, regardless of how many you pile on him.

If i'm building a underground water storage tank, and i'm pumping desalinated water down several z-levels, do i need to build walls along the shaft to keep the water from getting resalinated, or just the holding tank at the bottom?


EDIT: I messed up my design, so it went through 1 z-level without walls, and 1 z-level with. fully constructed basin. Turns out its drinkable, so there's that.

[LordShotGun]

I belive you have to build walls but i could be wrong. 40d you had to build walls but now i dunno.

Also shells and bones and hoofs and horns and ivory and such are all under bodypart section of the refuse.

What doe sthe symbols at the left side mean? Like the red C..

[Cheshire Cat]

has anybody yet seen where you find bones and shells in the stockpiles menu?

its been asked a bunch of times now, by the silence i guess everyone is equally flumoxed.

you can get them into refuse piles sometimes, but they still dissapear if the refuse pile is outside, which is less then ideal. this is important! with the currently insanely user infriendly interface for the military, and the fact war dogs can no longer bite through standard clothing, a tantrumming dwarf is more dangerous then ever before.

That a report is waiting for you (in the new reports window, which you can access with "r").
C means combat repoirt, but AFAIK there are letters for other reports as well.

A green H is for hunting, for example.

A: I heard shells count as body parts, but I have never even seen a shell so I don't really know. 

Q: I just embarked next to an (cold, good) ocean and its frozen and covered in snow.  Assuming it thaws, can I expect to find sea creatures in it?

Probably you will find some creatures as they migrate from the outsides of your embark.

Could someone tell my how to make the game screen larger? Not Dwarf Fortress itself, but the little box which you see the Dwarf Fortress world, options and map-looking thing.

Anyone? I think it is called the interface.

[Proteus]

You mean, it doesn´t fillyour whole screen?

Well, I assume altering the resolution within your init-file will help,
although it might cause your ASCII symbols in the worldmap and dwarf screen to become somewhat distortet
