DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Do patients in hospital drink booze?

Stacking abilities by repeating freezing over and reanimating corpses is a nice new hobby with this release. Might be possible in that frozen environment. Just need a necromancer. Or several even better.

It's not always the goblins. Sometimes it's the elves. Or the children. Or the corpse stockpile. Something is going to get it in DF:)
There are only two races in DF. Dwarfs and Goblins. If you are not a dwarf you are a goblin.

Your short-term objectives should be to get enough water for emergencies and to keep pond grabbers and giant olms out. Then, worry about the massive water project.

When cavern water is the only fresh water available, I pump water into a 4x4 room, then seal the entrance to the cavern lake. This is enough water for a few years.
If I cannot use the water in a freezing biome to turn goblins into icicles why am I even playing Dwarf Fortress?!

The first underground river is a lot of z levels down, so yes pumps are needed.

No they do not. They need clean water.

Water gets cleaned when using a corkscrew between the salt water and water storage.
Build roof over water to prevent freezing.

If it is frozen all time you need to dig until you find water in a cavern.

Dwarves need clean water for cleaning themselves too or some will die from infections.
Unerstood! Will be digging deeper! Screw pumps will be needed!

Or is only water good enough? Noticed this issue when embarked in a frozen biome with only salt water. I had plenty of booze mind you, but the patients in the hospital were still dying of dehydration.

Is it actually possible to raze a tower site if you happen to be able to train a sufficiently powerful squad?  Mine came back from the mission having acquired lots of troll fur socks... but on the c page the tower looks to still be there as before...
Don't know about razing, but it is certainly possible to conquer the sites.

Too bad about your other mammoth, Dragula. These new ones can also be sheared for wool, so at least there's that.
Your mod also has dinosaurs so it is obviously superior in every way. Now off to shear mammoths and capture spinosauruses.

I have a mammoth (among other things), but not a tile.

You can get it here, if you like.
Many thanks <3

Years ago I made my own mammoth with useable wool and stuff, but that creature is long gone and I am too lazy to make a new one.

Does anyone have a mammoth creature with a graphical tile that I can use? I want mammoths in my fortresses. :(

I tried to make a mammoth graphic tile, but now the game just crashes.

Here's my challenge for you.  I'd like to see a fort that got some candy metal and equipped their dwarves with it successfully.
That's not a challenge, that is just standard gameplay.

One would imagine the dwarves would eventually get battle hardened and used to it.

Can't you just station them?

Perhaps this is the missing link. I don't know anything about stations. If I station them will they fire at will whenever an enemy is close enough?

Why is a station different from a burrow?

Can they stay permanently at a station and take care of themselves?

Station is an order you give under the squad menu, s -> a -> m. They will move to the position and be stationed there. They will run and get food and booze from what I've seen if their backpacks/waterskins run out, but a part from that they will stay there. And yes they will fire from higher elevation at enemies that come close.
