#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.

You know what would be awesome?
Sacrificing babies to Armok.

Can just imagine making babygolems.

Only at bay12 is that an acceptable thing to say

There is a very annoying problem with the magmamancers: they tend to die very, very often. It seems that, if they are immune to fire, they are not immune to hot things. It does not always appear in the combat log, but my last dwarf, just after having killed a drider, was “caught in a burst of boiling swamp whiskey”. Seems like they should use only fire safe material flasks and backpacks, and/or find some way to immunize them completely against any kind of heat, not only fire (which is kind of weird, as fire's only danger is heat…). As they are, they are pretty useless, except to generate small amounts of fun (or bigger, if you use one in a squad of non-magmamancers).

You should use them as you use ranged squads: from atop a battlement, or behind fortifications. They should NOT walk on the actual battlefield at all. Take a look at the succasseion game, there the magmamancer is the third most useful military asset, works like a charm.

I've made a golem out of a baby in the past. Never did get to test babygolem shield. Just have a mother carry her baby into the reaction and see what happens.

I had a squad of 6 magmamancers in a tower with a 1x1 internal stair surrounded by walls.  The fighting platform is 5x5 internally, 7x7 with fortifications.  A bad guy went underneath the lip were he couldn't be hit.  I sent the squad down the stairs and one of them freaked out.  The blast killed 2 magmamancers and wounded 2 others.  OUCH!

Got anyone the same problem with the thatchery? The dwarfs dont haul the wicker-bales to the stockpile(all enabled). or is it only my game?

I have that problem and Also the bins(baskets) stay in the shop until used.

I think adding learning reactions for the mages, so that they can learn extra spells, or adding upgrades to turrets, additional barrels, to raise firerate and targetnumber would be a great idea.

"Magmamancer has learned firebreath" => new interaction, works like flamethrower.
"Magmamancer has learned fireball" => new interaction, works like fire-imps fireball.
"Magmamancer has learned to hate cats" => new interaction, randomly combusts cats. It will be fun

Oh, cool, that's how I'm trying to do my Orcs' Dreamwalkers too, so I'm interested to see how you do it (better, no doubt, particular with respect to cats i see).  ... They'll only have a couple weak spells domestically, but will get better ones over time as  longboats pillage artifacts from foreign lands.  I also am playing around with one where you can give a guy "greek fire" grenade canisters for about a week.

Sorry if I am bothering,

but Plump Helmets do not exist anymore for some reason. They do not show up in embark, etc.

What other plants can I use to distill booze?

Almost anything

for more info

Have you regularly not had Plump Helmets over the course of several embarks?  It is certainly possible to not have a particular plant on occasion, but it should be rare for Plump helmets.  Do you use the Masterwork Advanced world gen parameters, or your own Advanced parameters, or the regular Create New World?

[Meph]

This is a vanilla DF feature. If the first cavern has no water at the place your home-civ lives, then there will be no underground plants, therefore no plump helmet seeds at embark or from caravans. It has nothing to do with the mod.

[Firehawk45]

i actually enjoy having forts without plump helmets and muck roots, makes suppling the fort with food much more challenging. Should be a feature of "harder farming", removing all the "ready to eat" plants or altering them in a way they need processing before being eaten

That'd actually be a good change to the 'harder' farming option. Making plump helmet reactions, where it produces something along the lines of a "Plump Paste" or otherwise would be neat. It's extremely easy to never starve to death if you make a 5x5 farm. Atleast requiring more steps to go from farm->eating [with associated happiness/value increases] would make it less gamey and simple.

[Meph]

More interesting farming and trees and so forth is planned. I noticed that when I made the manual. By now I added all the plants,and there is not really any system behind them. I want to change a lot... but have to check first if good/evil/savage also applies to underground biomes.
