#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.

Anybody getting 'skin chops' from butchering living rock (v2.h)?  According to the manual, living rock is butcherable in a kitchen, but in my game it can only be butchered in a slaughterhouse.  The skin chops seem edible and appear as a meat icon, but they don't get stored.

They sound disgusting.  Reminds me of the Ren and Stimpy hog jowls episode.

What kind of stockpile do I have to make in order to store crates of steel and iron bars?  "Finished goods" don't seem to be doing it, neither does "Bars and Blocks"

[smakemupagus]

Crates are soap made from the corpse of a mythical beast, the steel-bar-crate monster.  I don't know whether they'll stockpile with other soap or not, but you're probably best off just building the crate opening workshop and opening them right away.

Does Slaughterhouse and Brewery make Butcher and Still obsolete? What about Warbeast Kennels for normal kennels?

[smakemupagus]

slaughterhouse - no, not the same thing

brewery - er, sort of, not exactly.  you don't *need* stills if you have brewerys, but it doesn't have the vanilla "brew drink" reaction i think.

kennels - no, not the same thing

A thought for people:

While I was thinking about fuel, I realized there is something big missing in Dwarf Fortress' food economy - cooking requires no fuel!  Adding fuel use to cooking (heck, it is the largest fuel usage of pre-modern societies) might do alot to bring the cost of food production into line with the dwarf bucks you can get trading food to caravans.

*starts beating fasquardon over the head*
SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP! Now they'll make it so all cooking needs fuel!

You only have to worry if he suggests it to Toady, since Cook and Brew are vanilla

Is there a way to pick out specific weapons to be used in the Rune Weaponry?

[Torgan]

Just make a weapons stockpile that only accepts certain types of weapons (ie steel battleaxes) and have it (t)ake from your main weapon stockpile. Then make it (g)ive to your Rune Weaponry. You'll also need to set up a stockpile to (g)ive metal bars for the runes to the weaponry as it will now only take from those stockpiles.

It's about the best way I've found to use all the rune/non rune armoury and weaponry buildings. So it means you'll only turn steel breastplates into steel platemail and not every shitty large gold breastplate from an ogre. Actually not sure if that's a big deal but you can use wrong size items in those buildings and get dwarf sized plate out of them, although invaders usually have crap material armour so it's not usually worth it. It is a nice way of making caravan armour and weapons useful though, I never used to bother buying it after the first year as it's low quality.

So I've got Masterwork going on linux, including soundSense and the included Therapist, but I have some questions that I can't find answers for:

- is there a dedicated Masterwork wiki?  I see it referenced all the time, and cannot find it - I'm starting to feel dumb
- is there a consolidation of linux-specific info?  I cannot get Mono for Wine working, so cannot see/edit any of the settings.  So far I've "turned off" harder farming by essentially doing a s/GROWDUR:\d+/GROWDUR:900/ in the raws, just so I can play, but other things like castes I want to try out and don't know how.
- Is there supposed to be an Optimize button in Therapist?  The included one just looks like a crappier version (ie worse graphics) of the separately downloaded DT (altho it does have button changes - left button does nothing, middle toggles a skill, right toggle the whole group).
- Note on stonesense libraries - it wants old versions of libjpg and libpng.  I got libjpg to work just by soft-linking it to the system lib, but had to find / dl an actual libpng.12.so binary to put in deplibs.
- the main soundsense theme goes all staccato if something else on the system plays any sound, and I have to turn it off.  Other sounds continue to work fine, tho - thoughts?

Current fort is progressing nicely - I'm on the island volcano in the SW of the Blessed Serra map.  Getting set to start my typical mini-megaproject - a staircase to the top Z (usually jet, this time obsidian), then panel over the whole sky with marble blocks and gold statues and call it Heaven (or Olympus ).  (Do two layers, and the lower one becomes "inside" for buildings)

Well done, Meph, Masterwork is truly a work of art!

[Stargazer]

So, I just saved my game, then started it back up. It gave me a fatal error. Missing creature definition CULTMEMB. Any ideas what this is?

Ahh yes...

Cursed inflexible vanilla reactions...

um is their any pieces of armor can not have rune's placed on them at the rune armory. I can have runes put on the volcanic breastplate but not on the volcanic boots is their any other armors pieces I cant put runes on?

2rd Q What is a berserkers hide? i had a dwarf make one in fey mood and i found out that it is a armor through the equip screen but is it worth equipping?

[sealclubber]

Ok. I... just... what

What the fuck are life guard arms and why is the artifact's name so perfectly fitting?
