yes. putting floors all over your fort will keep fliers away.
however sometimes it's easier to wall up all the way to the top of the sky (build fortifications on the top level)

Thank you

I keep getting 'Urist cancels Make pearlash: needs 150 potash' cancelations. I have quite a bit of potash - not that much, but from reading the wiki I gather it doesn't really want 150 actual bars of potash. Any ideas on how to get some pearlash production going?

[Kogut]

1 bar - 150 "units" of potash.
The same for bars of metal.

Is there any exploit free way to desalinate water?

[Shiramizu]

The only exploit free way is to use pumps. They are supposed to work that way.

Is there a way to get another baron/count/duke appointed after after the previous one had an 'accident'.
Also, is there a construction that can be build to open/close and not get destroyed by building destroyers when closed?

[masonmason]

Is there  a way I can set my military/ squad defend one burrow I set them to do so but they let buzzarrds go right through

[TolyK]

try a station order by the buzzards. also they probably want to go pick up equipment, sent their uniforms to have them on as civilians. also you could give them less of the less-needed equipment (gauntlets, etc.)

[masonmason]

I have them set to wear their equipment  constantly  and the buzards move about alot so stationing my troops is hard because I dont know where they will appear I tried telling them to defend the burrow but they dont seem to do anything to do so

[TolyK]

try kill orders. also you can make points and set routes for those points and have them just run through the route.
try roofing in and use marksdwarves too.

[masonmason]

ok

[masonmason]

I have their equipment set to be crossbows but they don't  use them when fighting

sometimes dwarves take awhile to pickup a quiver and ammunition.

ok thank you my dwarves suspended construction of my wall why?

An animal sitting on a site will stop construction, as will another dwarf, or an item that cannot be moved (like a rock that the next wall segment over will be using for construction, or wood, or a bar, or something else for a building of any sort)  Not being able to reach a site for any reason, etc.  If you look at your announcements when it says they cancel the construction, it will normally say why.

The animal thing is one reason why you make your hunter or fisher the animal trainer, and never, ever have them do construction.  The cloud of 40 dogs around them make them terrible to have near a construction site.

In the unit list, what does the flashing of a dwarfs name indicate? Never figured it out... I suspect it is that they are dirty?

[rephikul]

legendary dorfs (including males) flash.
