#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.

OK - a suggestion. Might add some creatures which will spawn in a dug stone. Like a Barlog in the old Moria:) It can be done with a stone in CLUSTER_ONE with frequency 1. Might be even different creatures for different layers - like some weak demon in igneous_intrusive, some dinosaur in sedimentary. They can live some rewarding thing after death:)

Wait - then they spawn they are friendly right? Oh the possibility of your own pet dinosaurs dug out of earth. With the stone named ANCIENT_EGG.

this....is a pretty damned spiffy idea

Why mittens vs gloves?  When I think mittens, I think like an oven mitten, no individual fingers.  I was worried a mitten was not gonna let my crossbowdwarves use their weapons.

This... can be done. Friendly unit, but with the crazed tag. Wow. THANKS.

it's pretty annoying that if you have a turret, and that turret ever fires, all the dwarves run out, grab whatever was fired, and put it in the food stockpile... is this normal?

[Lightningfalcon]

What type of prefession is used for tech reasearch/chemist?

[Panopticon]

Also for cool things that could be dug out of the earth, how about something that operates like the Tears of Armok, but generates magma instead? Call it Blood of Armok or something,

It is not, but can and will be fixed. actually I thought I already did fix it.. ^^

lightningfalcon: Alchemist.

Panopticon: Can do it, sadly, there are no aquifers for magma. There might be a trick to generate magma in workshops though, but the use for this is questionable at best. It wont power magma-needing buildings,not before you uncovered the magmalake

Bug report (1.9.2):

The machine factory seems to be seriously bugged:

• Built an turret case  (worked)
• Built a slade turret out of it.
• Set up a spawner where I wanted the turret
• Tasked "Deploy slade turret"
• After a while, the task disappeared (no worker came there) and the turret, too.

I repeated it with a bullet turret. Same result. I will try it once again to make sure it is a bug.

I was testing too, in my last fort I had a 3 out of 8 success rate on deploying bullet turrets.  In my cases the guy did run out to attempt the deployment, it just didn't "take" every time. 

There was at least one case where he transformed into the "Dwarf deploying turret" creature but didn't actually create a turret, and even though he became a regular dwarf safely again there were some "Dwarf deploying turret" creature body parts strewn about.  ... Reminded me of those sci fi stories about teleportation -- do you really transport, or does the machine kill the old person and clone a new one?

Still did not work on after the fourth try. I guess the guide stating "There is a low chance for a deploxment failing or getting several creatures. This happens rarely however." is a bit off.  I am trying more..

Suggestion: Maybe just increase the (low) costs, and make it much more reliable`?

Edit: Five times failed in a row. Really? I am going to look the reaction up..

[Iax]

Make sure there are no other dwarfs or pets around.    when the spawn reaction happens it makes a bunch of temporary crap that other dwarfs will either pick up and dump or attack and destroy.
if that temp crap sits unmolested on the ground for a little bit it turns into the spawned thing,  turret/decoy/attack plants,  ect..

Nothing else around there. It is in a corner. Will test some more.

Edit: It worked on the sixth try. Finally. When it works, the dwarf turns into a "turret constructing dwarf" for a moment, then he leaves. After a moment the turret appears. You can see the message in the log, if it works.

Also, the dwarf left it pickaxe at the spawner (happens). And his brain. Maybe he does not need it anymore.

i don't think it's un-reliable on purpose

You removed "personal choice - ranged" from their equipment when you added the bola throwers?
