It's always the quiet ones.

How do dwarves survive on stale air?

[Wimopy]

Their beards are in fact plant-like and recycle the air. These plants do not use energy from sunlight, but utilise alcohol and Dwarven heat to make O2 from CO2.

How do dwarves deal with alcohol poisoning (provided it becomes a thing in the next update)?

[Eric Blank]

Livers. Big ones.

How do dwarves always find the worst time to go on break?

[Manae]

They're Union.

Why do my dwarves run shrieking from a trapped enemy behind fortifications, but the marksdwarves stand there smiling instead of shooting the damned beast?

NOTE: Not anti-all-unions... just low-hanging fruit I had to go for.

[DAPARROT]

Because the marksdwarves wanted to be hammerdwarves and are still in denial that they are holding crossbows

Why do titans made of smoke fail at killing chinchillas?

Their plans go up in smoke. Also, smoking kills.

How do salt titans survive untold eons of rain?

How do salt titans survive untold eons of rain?

They turn into saltwater titans then dry out again

How do fire titans continue to burn?

[TD1]

They consume the souls of those they slay and use it to fuel their inner furnace.

How do Dwarves construct such big structures, despite being so tiny?

[Arcvasti]

The same way ants, even though they're tiny, built the pyramids IRL. There IS precedent.

Why can't dwarves cultivate ant colonies the way they can beehives?

[DAPARROT]

Because ant brains are too tasty

How do dwarves get ant brains?

[Great Gelder]

What is going on here? I thought only divine metal could be jagged, and I had them disabled at worldgen. What the hell is jagged adamantine?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I think you got the wrong thread, but in answer to your question: "Jagged greaves" describes the design of the greaves, not a detail about the metal.

How do dwarves get ant brains?

Tiny scoops

How many ants to they have to get brains out of to get a meal?

[Bumber]

How many ants to they have to get brains out of to get a meal?

Just one.

What happens (physiologically) when a water titan/FB enters water? (Bonus question: Why are there no beard FBs?)

Is there anyway to make my military dwarfs to spar? I've tried anything(at least what i know):making little squads like 3-4 dwarfs, getiing them to an decent level in military skills, make the schedule for only 2-3 dwarfs to train.
