But...he'll only grab ONE cheap craft on his way to the workshop, won't he?

yes

But...he'll only grab ONE cheap craft on his way to the workshop, won't he?

Yes.  And if he then proceeds to encrust a lot of crafts without interruption, he'll be encrusting the good ones.  You just need to make sure he doesn't decide to grab a cheap craft, encrust it, then decide to go get a drink, then grab another cheap craft near the drink stockpile, encrust that, then decide to take a nap, then grab another cheap craft near his bedroom, encrust it, then decide to attend a party....

[Mister Always]

Hm. Guess I'll have to keep tabs on him.

[rephikul]

Hm. Guess I'll have to keep tabs on him.

keep him burrowed and make sure the finished goods stockpile in his burrow got quality restricted.

How to get water at the desert? I built a pool with walls and floor but it seems to not be working.

If you don't have any underground you're pretty much out of luck, water doesn't just appear out of nowhere, especially not in a desert, the closest you could get is if you had murky pools above ground, which would somewhat fill when it rained, but I doubt you have those or rain. :x

Actually, it rains almost every month... No trees, just camels and sand. If I dig enough channels under the sand and expose the rock-ground, will it become murky pool?

[Sphalerite]

No.  Murky pools cannot be manufactured by any means at your disposal, and without them the rain is useless.  You'll have to dig for the caverns and hope for an underground lake.

What's the method for getting the most value out of the cave spider silk my dwarves collect? Turning them into clothes? Ropes? What?

[Mister Always]

Robes? Really?

[TolyK]

worth the most I think.

So my Mac is regular Leopard, can't run DF anymore, yadda yadda yadda. But that's not what I'm here to talk about (only done to explain the situation).

I'm starting a LP on another forum, and I was going to use my PC desktop to start it up so we'd be using .18. However, I have no idea how to a) take screenshots (unless it's the Print Screen key) on a PC or b) find said screenshots.

[TolyK]

a) it's the print screen key 
b) open up paint (either Windows+R and enter "mspaint", or go to start menu>all programs>accessories>paint) and paste (Ctrl-V) it in. Then save it as a file on your computer.
