Does melting a masterwork item enrage it's maker?

yes

Should I assign every bedroom for my dwarfs or they will choose by themselves??

[xl 4ndre lx]

You don't need to assign bedrooms. Just create the room and a dorf will claim next time he needs to sleep.  I only assign noble's rooms and better rooms for my legendary dorfs.

they will choose for themselves.

also, I had an avatar like that. that's when I got lotsa complaints 
(I like it personally, but you might want something else...)

My embark is a location where the water never thaws above ground. If I build some magma plumbing such that it shares a wall with the water plumbing (from the caverns), will that be enough to keep the water from freezing? Or do I need to build the water plumbing directly above the magma plumbing? I guess I'm not sure how temperature is calculated.

[Jelle]

afaik that magma would need to be underneath the frozn warer, seperated only by a floor and the magma needs to flow. Never done it myself.


Quick question, how do I create enough bolts to have my marksdwarves train with them in a reasonable timely manner. Right now one dwarf is making bolts, wich one member of my military uses up almost instantly, breaking all the bolts in  the process.

A lot of animals butchered to give bones and legendary bone crafter (better two). A task to produce bone bolts was given thru task manager, because bones do not appear constantly. I my last big fort it worked: an equip of 5 marksdwarves trained every month.
Or easier, bolts may be produced from wood. But I don"t like it.

You could also channel out the tiles right in front of the archery target. Arrows that drop a z-level before hitting the ground dont shatter - at least it was like that in earlier versions.
You can then collect some of them again (might have to claim them first).

[Jelle]

No I have the bones, just my craftsdwarf is not producing them fast enough. I do not have a bonecrafter sadly. (moods so far ended up giving me legenday carpenter and two legendary woodcrafters, ugh.) Will try the channel trick.

Be sure that the dwarfs have a path to the target, however, they won't shoot if there's no path.

Any idea what could cause a sudden lag spike? When I loaded a game it dropped to 5 FPS when it was getting 30 when I quit.

[Kogut]

ghost in old version? ambush(es)?

Change in season causing water to thaw/freeze?

Is a blowgun any good?
My bowyer just decided to make an artifact weapon, wich is a good thing since my military consist soly of marksdwarves at the moment, so I need his expertise.
Anyway, sadly he didn't end up making an artifact crossbow but he made a blowgun. Does this  thing have any practical use at all?

[Mercenare]

Is it possible to assign a single squad to multiple stations?
