4) when the mason is about to start, temporarily use the (z)--stone menu to ban all stone except magma proof stone

Thanks greycat.

Alright. Another, unrelated question: It's Spring of year 2. 2 migrants showed up Summer, 2 more Autumn, 0 Winter. That means my parent civ is extinct, doesnt it? 

Perhaps your not trading enough.

What in the world is wrong with my butcher's shop? I just butchered a horse skeleton. It got cluttered; I get that. So I had everything removed, but the haulers left behind one horse cartilage. The shop is cluttered to the max! WTF?!

deconstruct, reconstruct.

Known bug. For whatever reason, animal parts tend to instantly clutter workshops- you'll see similar things happen at the craftsdwarf shop when your bone carvers get to work. I try to keep butcher shops as clear as possible so butchering doesn't take forever- this normally means I need a custom refuse stockpile that only accepts nervous tissue/cartilage to snag the useless bits that don't get taken to other stockpiles.

anyone know how much space each tile is meant to represent?

Toady said 2mx2mx2m once, which is reasonable, except for the fact that it means that, even in adventurer mode, you're limited to a crawl-- assuming that a day lasts about the same as it does on Earth.

Trading has absolutely nothing to do with the two first waves, since your first trade happens in autumn and affects next year's immigration.

But it doesn't necessarily mean your parent civilisation is extinct (no migrants come the first winter), but if no caravan came in Autumn it might be. Or your fortress is simply on another continent to the home civ. You are hard-coded to receive two migrant waves unaffected by fortress wealth; these have a minimum size of two. It just means the Random Number God took exception to you for some reason and gave you only four migrants.

Sorry for the noob question, guys, but can you tell me how to save with DFHack enabled? Seasonal saves are all that works, when I try to save normally it disappears into the aether Along with several hours of work, unfortunately. The 'current' folder in saves is empty...

[Lord Shonus]

"current" will always be empty. Regeular saves will be in saves\:regionname:

That's the problem- it isn't there. Only the seasonal autosaves appear, the manual saves are nowhere to be found. Quite annoying when I want to save my progress &quit in late season...

Did you load up a seasonal autosave?

Seasonal autosaves actually copy-paste your entire world into a new region that is named 'region# - Season - Year'. What's important is that this actually counts as an entirely new world that, when saved, will not save to 'region#', but to 'region# - Season - Year'.

That might be your issue; the 'main' region folder never ever gets updated... there must have been one there at some point, because you had to load up something.

[Tirion]

So, is there a way to fix it so I could use the normal save again?

What buggers me is that it does apparently save somewhere, but I can't find it. Perhaps DFHack has some 'save, NOW' command?

[Sidhien]

If you have [AUTOSAVE:SEASONAL] and [AUTOBACKUP:YES] set in the d_init file the game will create entirely new "autosave" folders separate from the currently loaded one labeled with the game's date. If you happen to load from one of these autosaves, when you do a manual save it will save the data into the same folder without changing the name.

Basically, aside from how they're created, there is no difference between an autosave and a manual save.

What you probably want is for the game to simply update the current save folder when it autosaves, rather than create entirely new folders and leave the current one alone until you exit. To do that, set AUTOBACKUP to NO.
