What do I do with the plump helmets

[flamoot]

Look at the wiki

If you grow nothing but plump helmets over a large area, your fort may start drowning in plump helmets, a truly terrible condition wherein barrels upon barrels are needed to hold back the waves of purple mushrooms. There are two ways to combat this - firstly, start cooking them into meals, the fancier the better. These produce no spawn, and thus put a dent in the population. This will also level up a cook and produce happy thoughts in your dwarves. Secondly, rotate your crops to include such things as pig tail (to bootstrap a textile industry) or cave wheat (to provide some variety in the diet).

This is true

Stop growing them.

Also, stop posting threads in which you ask a question and then immediately answer it, especially if it's a topic that's already covered on the wiki.

Now now, don't be so hasty.

There has GOT to be a way to weaponize this.

[Callista]

I doubt it, short of dropping barrels of plump helmets onto the heads of invaders. But you can do that with rocks, too, and rocks are heavier.

[Minnakht]

Find a way to frankenstein plump helmet men, then train them into war animals.

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

Weaponising plump helmets is easy. Turn them into booze, Put booze near an expensive statue. or behind some bars or fortification in your entrance. When invaders come flood with magma or light on fire. Resulting steam, will out pace most non presurised lava, and will burn the goblins in your 2 tile wide hallway. There weaponised plump helmets.

Ah, but the farmers are the cornerstone of Dwarfdom.

No farmers - No food.

No booze.

And especially edit your post if you're going to answer it immediately.

What do I do with the plump helmets

Your doing it all wrong! Plump helmets are like rice, sure it keeps you alive but nobody WANTS to eat that crap all day everyday. Get that longland grass, whip vine, and cave wheat growing. Mill away. Process Sugar pods to dwarven syrup.{you def. want custom stockpiles for this.} Get those filling quarry bush leaves growing. If you don't make enough leaves to act as filler get some turkeys. Set a custom stockpile to only accept flour, syrup and leaves. Make lavish meals and enjoy $5k-$20k Roasts.

Plump helmets are for booze, pig tails are for cloth and booze.

[Loud Whispers]

Never insult rice again.

NEVER!!!!!
