I just reclaimed a fortress, and there's a bunch of wood/cloth everywhere.

I understand that I need to claim them, but is there a way to mass claim everything without individually clicking things to claim?

None of my dwarves are bringing the 4000 pieces of lumber from the top to the stockpiles...

You can also mass unforbid things just like you unforbid single items, just press enter then arrow to move the cursor around.  This might be useful if you only want them to claim things from areas you have rendered more or less safe or whatnot

Is above ground farming not possible if the embark has a volcano, or something? This place isn't ocean, and other than the volcano it's 100% temperate grasslands, yet farms say nope. What's up?

I want to play without immigration, only seven Dwarfs survival in the wilderness. In the Wiki it says on getting no immigrants:

"A possible workaround is to edit the raw files so the the created wealth of your fortress is negative, which should scare away new migrants."

I've never fondled around with the raws, so can anybody help me and say where exactly I found this line and what I have to edit?

Edit: Of course I know about the population cap, but as we all know it doesn't work until you reach 30 or so.

I'm not sure where to find those particular raw files, but to my knowledge you'd still get the first two migrant waves, as they are hard-coded and will appear even if the dwarven civ is dead.

I've wanted to do things like this too, and the only way I can see of easily doing it, is setting your pop cap to 0 in the .ini file and killing off the two hard-coded waves.

I have candy at an unusually high depth. The magma sea starts at about z-90, which I have candy all the way up on z-50. How safe do you think it is to dig down before having a significant chance of encountering clowns?

[Yaotzin]

Ah I see, if you have no above-ground seeds, the game will tell you that a farm requires soil/mud when it has it.

Delightfully confusing.

I had candy 10+ levels above magma. I dug down almost all of it, and had no clowns. If you want to be safe, just dig around the vein on multiple z-levels, and dig any candy that isn't 4x4 or bigger. Even if you do this, your bottleneck is still going to be processing it into waffers. I made like 300 candy items in two years with 5 craftdwarf's workshops.

I was about to tell you this when I realized you found out by yourself. Chapeau!
Good luck with your volcano.

Do volcano's ever erupt in DF?

no

Obsidian isn't in the stone restrictions menu or am I just blind?

If not is the only way to avoid using it to forbid it all?

It's not in the stones screen since it has the tag [MAX_EDGE:20000]. Remove that and it should appear. You can max forbid them instead, d-b-f.

no

Doesn't mean you can't force them to.
