A Dorf civilisation called The Fiery Page..... which got a whole lot funnier when I had an accidental wildfire go through the damn fort. Although it was probably caused by the usual !!sock!! -> !!beer!! -> !!kitten!! -> !!cheese!! -> !!trees!! cycle, I like to think that it started in a !!bookcase!! somewhere....

That's a thing? Oh dear... I need to make some ponds then. Will the dwarves try to extinguish themselves if they are on fire?

Fire critters down in your magma forge are capable of setting things on fire, so I always keep a cat pastured down there. The cat doesn't seem to mind or complain, the forge operators often like cats anyhow and are happy to see it, and it kills anything which might try to throw fire on the dwarves. I've had a lot less !!sock!!s since I started doing that.

I'm not sure if they will try to put themselves out, but I do find that having a tavern or at very least a well behind a wading pool (a dorfwash) can help, as !!dorfs!! tend to get thirsty. They wade through and their !!sock!!s become xXsockXxs, and then all is well, so long as there's a clean sock stockpile somewhere. Plus if I incorporate a misty waterfall, they get a happy thought which helps if they had an !!experience!!, or are just depressed that their socks are damaged. !!pet!!s (including !!kitten!!s) seem to invariably go to the surface when on fire (it might be my own bad luck talking there) and set the forest alight.

All in all, a pond is not enough, unless there's a reason for the !!dorf!! to want to go to the other side of it.

I have never understood this sock thing.

My dwarfs wear cloth shoes, trousers, and shirts.

Everything else gets trashed.

Dwarf named Tulon Granitefist The Bearded Flames, Im going to have to look up what they did, all I know is "Swallowhold the Dark Siege" a basalt bed, is adorned with images of them. Its almost cartoonishly dwarven sounding.

If it ain't meltable, it gets chucked into the lava.

Thanks you. I'll setup a waterfall in my lower corridor(s) to prevent a raging fire from spreading throughout the fort. Can't do it at the entrance 'cuz it's always snowing outdoors and I presume that if the (1/7) water takes 2.5 seconds to freeze solid then the water-covered dorfs won't fare too well outdoors either. For some reason, my migrants seem to calm down after the first panic attack or two.

Rubsit Beruukla, Rubsit Playfrothed is a forgotten beast. A towering skink with lidless eyes. It has an enormous shell and it undulates rhythmically. Beware its noxious secretions! Rubsit is associated with caverns and depravity.

... Great job game, great job. That's, like, six innuendos stacked atop one another...

Well I just noticed a goblin axe lord named his bronze axe Oxuoxo, which was translated as "The Beloved Soldier", wtf.

I found books titled:

Reproduction Might Help - *cough* Catsplosion...! *cough* *wheeze*
Animal Embryos Might Help - Well...
The Diseases Of Animals Might Help - Is this a trilogy or something?

Cats ARE the disease..... and biscuits are the cure.  (⌐■_■)
