I give them all custom job titles, as well as special housing treatment and tombs.

I'm just chaining them up in a deep vault wrapped around the magma pipe, myself. Channels being prepared. They're gonna get the ole "noble treatment."

I must be getting something wrong in my usage of tiletype. I tried it last night before posting, and it wasn't changing anything, though it wasn't returning errors (most of the time).

DF Gameplay Questions / Mud turning rock to dirt
« on: August 21, 2020, 01:18:31 am »
I had a bit of a leaky staircase for a while, and by the time I got it all sealed off, my stairs had all grown cave fungus, as had some floors around them. So I build some constructions to clear the mud off, only to find, the previously stone staircase has been turned to silty clay loam. This is less than ideal. I want stone staircases, and didn't particularly want to have to build them all manually. Is there any way to fix this? A few drops of water should not convert an entire granite staircase into dirt.
And if there's no in-game way, can anyone explain how to use dfhack to fix it? I can't seem to get it to change anything.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Hase anyone tried organizing their fort into a feudalistic caste system?

Soldiery never settles near the bottom of a caste system, for just about the reasons you'd expect. Other than that complaint, sounds cool.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Sharp walls (?)
« on: August 01, 2018, 06:06:04 am »
There are no diagonals in Dwarf universe. It is not the dwarven way. All things are placed according to the Great Grid of Armok.
(I find double thick works passably as a diagonal, ie:
XOOXXXX
XXOOXXX
XXXOOXX
XXXXOOX
XXXXXOO O is walls, X is nothing or whatever.)

Doesn't DF pathfinding also check literally the entire visible area before resolving? I seem to recall that being a problem, and the reason why late-play fortresses should keep their cavern gates shut.

Obsidian tower. Build an empty tower then fill it with obsidian and tear down the outside so you can have it all engraved.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Dwarves not burying dead
« on: January 23, 2017, 07:48:30 pm »
Thanks for the help. Throwing up a corpse stockpile helped some. Corpses go in refuse so I don't usually use one, but it did get the Axe lord buried, it seems. Still three other dwarf corpses lying around outside, though. I know slabs will help, but I only use them when I can't get the corpse. If I can get get it, I do, whatever it takes. I'm in the middle of draining half the caverns to recover a Marksdwarf drowned by a Troll like six years ago. His ghost is around, but there's been no trouble from it, so I let it chill.

Coffins are set and I know about slabs, I don't want to engrave a slab, I know where his body is, he's claimed a coffin as his tomb, he just isn't in it yet.

This Axe Lord has been lying at in the cavern for a year now. His ghost is haunting me, hasn't caused any trouble but...why won't they bury him? He's not the only one, either, my staircase are littered with troglodyte and lycanthrope corpses.
Dwarves Gather Refuse and Dwarves Gather Refuse From Outside are both on. The Dragon corpse /was/ moved, for example, but the Giantess right next to it was not, to say nothing of now four unburied dwarves. My refuse stockpile has lots of room, too, and no orders set.
