When you build a bridge, the menu lists keys to change the direction the bridge lifts in.
Change it to not retract.

Okay, thanks.

How do I get a stockpile to only accept bags of sand? I see that option 'u' to toggle sand bags on and off, but no one puts anything on the stockpile if I turn everything off except it.

Turn off the type of furniture, leave everything else on, voila!

My dwarf "likes lizard fiends, for their terrifying features". Is this a normal preference? O.o

Especially ironic as she "absolutely detests lizards".

Edit: And another likes horned fiends! There was a demon involved in their civ sometime, maybe?

Okay, I've bumrushed the cave swallow people with my migrant wave. Wiped 'em out.
Free (Poisoned)darts and blowguns for my fortress!

Good for you, but do know that you cannot create blowgun ammo yourself, you have to get it from an outside source.

What's cobaltite for? It looks like an ore, but I can't find anything about what it smelts into.

Year 1 down and my dwarves finally have their own rooms, almost have the farm set up, and just need to fill the dining hall up with furniture. Took them forever but man does it look nice

Nothing, currently. It's just another stone for now.

It's pretty and blue. That's all. Sort of like a brighter kimberlite without the diamonds.

Do smoothed/engraved ore or gem surfaces have greater value than the same in stone? I can never figure this out.

Is there a way to designate a food stockpile to always stay full, or at least take precedence over lesser needed food stockpiles? IE, I want a food stockpile in my archers tower to always stay full of food and booze for the archers stationed there, or at least for them to be replaced when empty before my main food stockpile.

Tell it to "take from another stockpile" when viewed with 'q', and pick your main food stockpile. This is how I replenish my barrack food pile.

How exactly are the autosaves named? I have autosave (seasonal) and backup switched on and I have trouble finding out which save is the latest one. Sometimes I even can't find the last manual save.

I'm pretty sure it's labeled by year and season.

Is there any way to 'search' among all the exposed stones? I just discovered the manager, asked for 20 cokes, but I've run out of bituminous coal and I would rather not have to look all round the map myself to find where I got it from...

Do boots, greaves/leggings, gloves etc. come in pairs or do I need to manufacture 2 for each dwarf?
