#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.

How does underground farming work. I read the manual but crops never grow :| Do they need constant irrigation now?

No, that would be silly, you probably have harder farming enabled which takes longer for underground plants to grow. If not, what exactly is happening?

[Putnam]

Note that underground plants have never needed irrigation unless you want to grow them on stone.

I tried planting in each season and now trying just one season with 3 fallow.

either way will work, you just have to wait the whole year

Was wondering what happens if I make a tower (2 floors high) middle of my orc fortress yard (1 floor high wall around) and put ballista and/or catapult in it, can it then be used to shoot things around my fortress, or does siege weapons need to be same level with their targets?

DFHack has a siege engine gui script that should help you. Its keybinding can be found in dfhack.init.

Help me how? All  I could find there is ctrl-A but it doesn't seem to do anything.

It seems that "make whatever(12) armor set" in the armory is bugged, they they dont make any handwear for my dwarves.

And you only need 2 blocks to build a furniture workshop while it says 4.

And my temple of armok always self-deconstuct after using.

modders cant tell left from right, so they cant do handwear correctly
(actually its something about the game being unable to apply the correct tags)

according to raws it takes 2*2 blocks, however you can take the same two blocks for both times - most likely a vanilla bug
(saw something the like with boneyard: could take the same totem as both bodypart and totem for building, thus saving one item)

a recently discussed, self-destruction is caused by boiling stones(in combination with df-hack, i think) damaging non-firesafe building parts

I had exactly same with blood bowl arena, was thinking I did something wrong, but now I'm sure I didn't. Someone did link remove workshop to all choices perhaps by mistake?

Is there way around it or just wait fix?

[Gamerlord]

No it's a materials/df-hack thing. Just alter the raw files to allow you to build structures out of only magma/fire safe materials.

I'm under siege, I got ~400 raw fishes in barrels, but kitchen ain't making food from it and orcs are hunting vermin for food, they hate fish that much or am I missing something?

[Twiggie]

you need a fishery, to clean the fish.

Thanks, had one but clearly it wasn't enough

Playing the Orc plugin.

Is there a way to get to the LNP-like color scheme?
I don't like how the dig designations are vomit-colored now.
