#1: Put the Alarm Siren in the Military Garrison, it fits and is one buildings less.

#1: Keep the Alarm Siren seperate, I want to have it near my other levers.

#2: I have traded with Gnomes, build Artificer and Weather Control Station.

#2: I have NOT traded with Gnomes, did not have the chance to build their buildings.

Maybe I can make them a soil, which would mean that you can build farms on them. Never tried that actually...

I know you don't officially fully support the Fortress Defense races, but just a heads up, they seem to have big packs of elven warbeasts again (at least, Tigermen, have a big pack of spirithunter/webbers).  This is the same world that had a wild magmahound.

I also don't like the idea of living stone or cave fungus, but I like to keep "less solid stone" on simply for the FPS increases. It'd be nice if there were a slightly less bizarre option, like "loose rock" or something. Also the edible part of cave fungus is not very useful. One bolder of cave fungus produces 1 cheese, instead of a stack or anything. The idea of truffle clusters would be cool though, as boulders that a processable into some high value food.

Hey. 

Meph have you change anything on water? So not i have a big Problem with DF, i have stagnate water anywhere. I can't make a "good" well because of the stagnate water, my hospital it's ruined. Even in big River flows stagnate water. I dig a channel to my Fortress and pump water in it from the river, it's fresh water but after a several second's it become stagnate. i'm the only with this problem?

I finished testing various LAYER properties of the clothing and armors. Was it a success?

You tell me.

Also included is a change to the batch clothing reaction so it will make socks instead of shoes. Socks are now the de facto footwear of civilian dwarves.

Could be a problem with weather, or something upstream is making a bloody mess in the river. Brooks don't have this problem since they have a "floor" covering the top. If all else fails, make a screw pump and pump the stagnant water into a safe, isolated, underground reservoir (screw pumps purify water).

Stagnant Water is "infectious", just like salt water is. Any Tile that ever comes in contact with stagnant water will be flagged as stagnant. Also, any tile that ever contained stagnant water will be incapable of ever containing clean water again.

I wonder if there's ever a way of cleaning water...

Salt water pumped through a pump will desalinate and become drinkable, but only if the cistern has never contained salty water. Stagnant water pumped through a pump will become clean, letting dwarves drink it without getting an unhappy thought and letting doctors clean wounds without causing an infection. As with desalination, this only works if the cistern has never contained stagnant water.

We may never know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why does the magma blast furnace require fuel again?

[Lockesly L`Crit]

Why does the magma blast furnace require fuel again?

The magma blast furnace has the NEEDS_MAGMA tag, thus ignores the FUEL tag from the reactions. Are you trying to make a batch of steel bars? Steel has always needed coke or coal to mix with the flux and iron in vanilla DF. It's not part of the fuel.

[CheatingChicken]

----

Water becomes clean if you pump it, just like salty water, but if any of the cistern's tiles, or the tiles you pumped the water through has ever contained stagnant water, the entire cistern will be irreversibly stagnant and you would have to dig a new one in an entirely different area.

On another note, there also is no way to prevent the dusting of mud on the cistern's floor, to avoid the well picking up this mud, make the cistern at least 2 z-levels deep.

How do I use silk worms? And waht are golden geese for?

[Dark Archon]

Why all my children very embarassed to walk without clothes? I have clothes, but they are not taking them.

[masquerine]

How do I use silk worms? And waht are golden geese for?

Golden geese lay gold bars instead of eggs. Normal geese have a small chance of hatching into golden geese from goose eggs. Not sure on silk worms, if they are in an animal trap I don't think they will be able to do anything. If you release them your cats/frill lizards will eat them. Being vermin, they have the teleport characteristic. They might stay near a zone if you were to pit them (and they are tame), but you'd need to keep your cats/frill lizards away from the area.
I vaguely remember some vermin staying near the zone where I had pit them until my cats found a way through the no-pet door.

ALL of my coke just turned to ash.
Wat?

I have no problem with civilian dwarves walking around in socks... atm im more interested in playability than total "cloth-realism" ^^
Well since I still have my 1.71 Fort running... I dont have socks activated, which would mean I have to start a new world for adding a new reaction (socks)?! Would it not also be possible for me to set it up so the civilian dwarves wear 2x2 shoes? So I could let my military wear shoes + boots, right?

Another thing is... what is it that lets a piece of armor/cloth count as "CLOTHING" so your dwarves dont get upset? Is it Hard/Soft or the Armorlevel... I tend to the last, but with all this info im confused atm ^^ This Dwarf raw thing is pretty new for me, when it comes to clothes.

I think I just grab your testfiles and see how you have done it, and ask some more or if im able to do the changes for my game myself ^^ Thanks a lot for the testing.

EDIT:
When I did have a look at the testfiles there is one thing in general i dont understand... for example...
[ITEM_ARMOR:ITEM_ARMOR_ROBE]
[NAME:robe:robes]
[UBSTEP:MAX]
[LBSTEP:MAX]
[LAYER:OVER]
[COVERAGE:100]
[LAYER_SIZE:20]
[LAYER_PERMIT:100]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:6]
[SOFT]
[LEATHER]
[STRUCTURAL_ELASTICITY_WOVEN_THREAD]

It has [LAYER_SIZE:20] and [LAYER_PERMIT:100] does that mean my dwarves CAN wear 5 robes?
