Will changing MAKE_TROPHY_SAPIENT to acceptable allow me to make soap out of sentients? Or do I have to change the [EAT_SAPIENT_KILL] tag to get to the tallow?

Do wagons really happen to come with elves in current version? If wiki is right this is possible, but should i expect one or they occur as frequent as dungeon master, or are completely bugged?

Where did you find a passage in the Wiki stating that elves would bring wagons?

I only find:

No one brings wagons, even if there is a clear path to your depot

Even if there were wagons,
it would be strange to have elves bring wagons with them,
after all they didnīt come with wagons in versions before DF 2010

Here is note, that "Due to a bug, neither humans nor dwarves make any attempt to bring wagons with their caravans."
I thought elves can attempt to, as they're not mentioned.
But it seems that wagons never appear with caravans.

So, if I set my refuse stockpiles to use bins, will they use them?

Disc traps...gotta love 'em. They produce tons of bone (and sometimes ivory, from trolls) when they kill something...but I don't have room for it all. Combine this with a recent puppy culling due to a nasty necrosis syndrome going around, and my refuse stocks are overflowing. My bone carvers can't get rid of it fast enough.

Just shove a dump near your refuse pile and when you see it fill up dump the contents

Humans and dwarves are the only races intended to bring waggons. Elves where never intended to. That's why they are not mentioned.

Ice wall are magma safe - but what with workshops/tables/pumps? I am not sure but I think that dragon destroyed my tables.

So question: I want to have invader-save water pump. Is it required to make it magma safe?

[Lord Shonus]

I'm sorry, but what are you asking?

[shlorf]

The dragon fire is magical but it's not magma, unless you're planning to flood your water pump with magma it needn't be magma safe.
The dragon probably just destroyed the table 'by hand', ie by being a building destroyer creature. Unless your tables were all wooden and the dragon breathed fire into them.

I've read that a crossbow can be used in melee with hammerer skill. Is it also used for parrying?

Marksdwarves probably suck at melee combat - assign them some (leather, steel/iron if you can spare it) armour and a shield.

My question: I just made some training axes for my millitary, but I still don't see them sparring. Am I forgetting something?

I concider training marksdwarfes in danger room, anyone there will get legendary unless he doesn't use sertain skill at all. So i still wonder if they parry.

It takes a while for them to level up enough to spar. Sparring starts at level 3 IIRC (Adequate), go ahead and wait some more. Or danger room.
Also: training axes are usually a waste of time.

They do if they use hammerdwarf skill. Melee marksdwarves= bad idea unless you dual-train them.

How can I convert bee colony into "Non-pressed HONEYCOMB_PRESS_MAT-produci..."?

[Omnicast]

Now that the new version is released how do I go about updating my save game?

Do I just dump the save file in the save folder? Or do I need to do something else first?
