#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.

Bog crawlers are vermin I think, so send the cats or frill lizards to the area. Pasturing them there with i>n>N will keep them there to feast upon the bog crawlers. I had one fort with a ton of bog crawlers. Everything they continuously bit vomited. I lacked cats and frill lizards.

Do the magma maggots from the cavern layer start fires? I've had a few unexplained fires in my forts and I think those might be the cause. Anyone confirm?

Something I haven't been able to find - what use are the epic books that you are randomly given?  My dwarfs don't seem to want to use them as reading material..

I can't disable the mods... the 'save settings' button doesn't turn them off.

I've taken to paving my hallways on dirt levels to make "fire brakes" after my last fire burnt through the floor on the floor of the room holding some of my animals (none survived, so i've no more breeding pairs of of mastifs or horses. I guess i'll just have guard-geese for now ....

If you mean on an already created world, that's normal, the option will tay a it was when it was created, it is a feature of dwarf fortress, not just this mod.

Somebody probably asked this already but, how hard would it be to add a custom race to this mod?

[zach123b]

i already added my own custom race (desert scorpions) which they aren't that hard to add, just depends on how much detail you want them to have i guess
just copy the dwarf entity for them and go through it to pick which things you don't want your new race to have

just ended my last fort of 2-3 years due to goblins being trap avoid and coming as about 5-7 ambushes at once, they had giant drow spiders and a cave crocodile leader, had a name at least
i can't order any pets from drows (2nd game i noticed it) yet the goblins have there spiders.. i see the spiders are underground while they can't use underground pets and they start on any land yet most of the animals are grassland stuff, they embark in a desert and no drow pets : /

Goblins have the [USE_EVIL_ANIMALS] and [USE_CAVE_ANIMALS] tags, and the Giant Drow Spiders have the [EVIL] and [BIOME:SUBTERRANEAN_CHASM] tags. That's why Goblins can use them.

Drow have the [COMMON_DOMESTIC_PET] tag commented out, which disables pets from trading. According to the raw, "this should remove golems/landmines/turrets from them."

[DOOMCHUG]

is there anyway i can play with ironhand tileset?

[zach123b]

sad i can't have slaves without modding some to have them

the goblins having them didn't bother me as much as the drows not having anything really worth trading

[Talanic]

There's a problem with the creation of armor sets, sadly - although the bug involved might be fixed as far as I know.  When you have an armorsmith make boots, usually you get two boots of the same quality level.  Dwarves looking for foot armor try to find two pieces of the same quality level and wear one on each foot; if they can't find that, they might equip two on the same foot.

No; I mean I create a new world, and the mods that I set to "OFF" are in the new world.

EDIT:
For instance, I make a world with default settings. I have turrets. Mmkay, decide I don't want those. Scrap that world, close DF, turn turrets OFF in the settings, then save settings. Then I hit "create new world" after re-opening DF. Still turrets available.

[slay_mithos]

As far as I know, save settings is not required for it to work.
At least I never used it and my changes were always made for my new worlds.

You might want to start from a fresh archive extracted and just check/uncheck, launch and see if it worked.

If it doesn't, then I have no idea why, because it does work for me at least.

[Kaleb702 Games]

Tried that; same result. Tried giving admin privs; same result.
