A couple questions. I have a starting build involving unskilled dwarves, a huge amount of food 4 picks... plenty of animals and over 30 bags for seeds.
The dwarves won't store seeds in the bags. They just leave them outside to be admired by whatever humped zombie camels pass by. How do I fix this?
Also how do I make a pond? I farmed by using a floodgate to flood a room then a lever to open the floor hatch so the water drained down a couple z levels. Now I have a water filled room that isn't evaporating. There has to be a better way to go about this.
1: I do believe as of the 31. series dwarves are now forced to store seeds in barrels, at least, that's all my seed stockpile has in it, no kind of seed bags anywhere except what the traders bring to me.
2: Well, the best way to drain water, if you lack an aquifer, is to carve a fortification on the edge of the map, this will allow all water and magma to pass through, even though there is nothing on the other side.
As for a pond, you'd have to work it out with the 'i' menu, you'd want to set the space above the room you want to empty as a water source I believe, then find another empty space and set that as a pit/pond, hit P, and tell the game it's a pond and not a pit.
After this, you'll want to make a few more of those spaces, as only one dwarf per pond designation can work.
