#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.

Has anybody else had the problem where when the fort gets a Mayor, the sheriff job disappears?

Is it that the Mayor acts as the Sheriff as well?

The many biomes world settings tends to create lots of 15+z waterfalls.  Those tend to be my cure for tantrum spirals via building my central stairs behind the waterfall and using fortifications between the stairs and water.  Also gives me a dig-free death drop.

If you combine the happiness creator with a Sheriff/Guard actually patrolling internally, (instead of outside fighting the hordes), and have a good sized jail, you'll be able to reduce the chaos the few first unhappy dwarves cause via the justice system working for you. (or adding more happy hammerings!)

Now if I can only find a way to successfully worldgen volcanoes next to these waterfalls....

This leads me to a Masterwork specific question...  How does the therapist and preacher and other nobles factor in here? Do they actually stop tantrumming dwarf? I never really assign these roles as I don't understand the new nobles.

There is one small ASCII-related bug I found: Mined Raw Mithril looks like a wall. Can be fixed by removing the [ITEM_SYMBOL:178].

Fixed tile raws for gems/stone/rocks that weren't right.

(Jokes aside: Raptors dont have graphics in ASCII. Not at all. they are just a black empty tile)

EDIT - Any thoughts on altering the Brewery reaction?  Not sure about anyone else, but even using some of the tricks from this thread, I'm still having the damnedest time getting it to use sugar properly.  I'm tempted to just mod the raw so it just takes sweet pods directly to save me the grief.

Are your sugar bags stored in barrels? No direct sugar using reaction works if they are. You might still be able to cook them but if you want to make candy or use them in the brewery the bags need to be stockpiled directly otherwise the dwarves will just get cancel job can't find any sugar cause all they will see is the barrel and not the sugar bags inside of it.

When I stockpile sugar/flour in it's own stockpile with no barrels allowed I've never had any problems with candy, bread or the brewery reactions.

Hi, I just started using this mod.  Amazing is all I can really say.

I did have a few questions though, I tried looking in the readmes that come with the mod but I can't seem to find my answer.

Is it possible to create Turrets, or only trade for them?

And do Turrets require ammo?  Bullet turrets anyway.

  First time I hear of this!

While skimming, I noticed you mentioned gem crabs that weren't dropping gems, Meth. That reminded me of an old game I played (few versions ago). I was fighting animated armor, and they dropped a breastplate. It was absolutely useless(as in a regular corpse, not an item, I think. I didn't test with it much. I didn't try butchering it, for example). My memory could also be a little foggy. But something upset me about losing several dwarves to kill that darn thing, and getting nothing in return.

Settings are saved within the raws, it reads out the raw files. If you change one thing, then close it and open it again later, the change is still there. It saves and loads automatically, so to speak. But once you gen a world the settings wont matter, since you cant change the already generated world.

You can't change a gen'd world but you might want to gen similar things later. Slogging through several tabs to find what turned itself on or off every time you close the program or change a tileset is tedious.

I have a technical question that might not be related to the mod.

I used the arena to make 100 or so 1v1 fights with

dwarf w/ full steel armor and welded wolfram war hammer
dwarf w/ full steel armor  and silver war hammer

And even when I ran the test 3 times, the silver war hammer racked up more wins (though it was close, like 60-40).

Is there a better way to make use of wolfram? When I tried it with maul v. maul, the silver still won.

I can't understand why a metal that is in the raws 5-10x better in all areas would consistently lose to silver. I even tried reducing elasticity to 0, and it still lost.

What am I doing wrong?!

I'd been trying all that, but still wasn't having any luck.  I haven't sat down and really messed with finding a way for it to work yet, but I think I might do that soon.  I love the idea of the brewery but it currently doesn't love me back. =P

A dwarf has to be strong enough to USE a weapon before he can kill with it, give wolfram hammers to your hammerlords.

Make 15z level drop above your dining hall, dump kitten with the "pit/pond" into dining hall. Watch kitten die and splatter all your dwarves with blood and bodyparts. Dwarves get bad thoughts, but also get the "has seen death" and "doesnt care for anything anymore"

After that they are pretty much immune to tantrums.

THIS...is horrid.  Yet I find myself giggling at the thought....  Maybe I should seek help.

i had a 14 level drop into my dining room - with a big 'restricted' area in the center - and every time some dwarf threw a party, i chucked a gobbo down the chute.  Eventually they threw a lot of parties.
