So I was wondering if I embarked on several places next to each other, dug out tunnels, and then abandoned, would the tunnels be connected to each other? (Assuming of course I made sure to make them at the same Z level and the same location).

What I want to do is have my adventurer be able to traverse huge grand halls that connect the mightiest of the dwarven fortresses. Fortresses so impressive they were impenetrable from the outside, but fell to infighting/collapses/carnivals of clowns or what have you.

Is it possible to have a weapon use the WRESTLER skill?

Last I heard, (it may have changed since then) there is one tile of land that cannot be seen or manipulated in fortress mode between map squares, also you cannot dig out the outermost tiles on an embark, best you can do is carve fortifications, but adventurers can't move through those.  So that isn't currently possible.

Is it possible to have a weapon use the WRESTLER skill?

Last I checked yes, just replace the SKILL tag with the internal name of the skill you want to use.  Can be anything from wrestling, animal caretaking to comedy.   I believe somebody even made a rubber chicken weapon once that used comedian as it's relevant skill once.

I'm in a squash mood so I'm adding pumpkins, zucchini (courgettes), pattypan, spaghetti squash, and kabocha. (mostly because "pattypan" and "kabocha" are fun words to say)

Pumpkins will have seeds that can be pressed for "pumpkin seed oil" and rendered into "pumpkin seed soap", and pumpkins themselves can be brewed into "pumpkin beer". It's sad that orange isn't a color option in DF, so yellow will have to do for the tiles, but the prefstring is "orange color" nonetheless.

Spoiler: Pumpkins! (click to show/hide)

I'm also varying up the cookable meals, with "fritters" and "noodles" for easy meals, "stirfry", "dumplings" and "stuffing" for average meals, and "chili", "loaf", "gelatin", and "pie" for lavish meals. I tried to stick to things that can be either sweet or savory (savory pot pies, sweet dumplings would be samosas, "loaf" can mean bread or meatloaf or fruit/nut "bread", gelatin can be fruit jell-o or meat aspic, and I've had dessert chilis).

Oh, cool. You came up with some things that I didn't. May I hybridize cross-pollinate borrow from your pumpkin?

Ok, I'm going to be creating a new race to replace my golems for fortress mode. my question is how does descriptions work, and how can i make them show up on the descriptions page? I've tried looking at the other races, but I cant make heads or tails of it.

Place [DESCRIPTION:write description here] tokens under the [CREATURE:WHATEVER] token to describe creatures generically. You can also place them under [CASTE:WHATEVER] tokens to have different descriptions per caste.

Or do you mean the whole "his long hair is brown" and similar?

I've been working on my own race and have most of the bugs worked out, but I'm not sure how to go about linking the race to an image for it, I may just be overlooking something, but if anyone could help me out it would be much appreciated. I'm using the dusk elf image for it

In terms of using the BUTCHER_SPECIAL tag, is there a way to get things besides meat to retain the creatures name? For instance if you butcher a chicken you will get a dried chicken heart. But if I set up a custom butcher to give me a stone or gem I just get 'stone name' or 'gem name' not 'creature stone name'.
