If you assign a dwarf a bedroom with a cabinet in it they will gather up their dropped clothing and store it in the cabinet. Helps keep things tidy and bedrooms equal happy dwarves so I make sure every citizen has one.

I"ve placed cabinets in the rooms but never seen them organize any type of item into it. Are you really sure?

Been seeing awful lack of sieges even with rich forts. Post-adamantine, even. One fort now even died down to 2FPS, and was retired, after a stupid mistake involving me thinking it was safe to pasture some dog puppies, but somehow pathing killed the fort after I did so.

Coincidence?

Awesome read.

One of my dorfs did something unforgivable (punted a kitten off a cliff), and so I want to lock him up forever.

Was he your only kitten? To be honest, that sounds quite funny, and there are much worse things than killing a kitten that I would still forgive my hairy midgets for. I certainly wouldn't lock him up forever because of it, but to each his/her own, I suppose.

I suppose a food quantum stockpile could feed the poor thing, booze could be dropped in similarly in barrels, while water put into reservoir to fuel a well only he can access.

I you really want him to be locked up forever, then have you considered the 'Well of Unlife' method? It removes the need for food and water/booze. Admittedly, if you don't house him like a king then he could go insane anyway from lack of good thoughts, but you could at least prolong his suffering, as he wouldn't die of hunger or thirst during melancholy or berserking. While he's still alive and sane he could act as a last survivor, preventing your fort from crumbling until migrants come should everyone else die.

Or does that all seem like too much for someone who only killed a kitten in a hilarious manner?

Your lack of disipline is astonishing. What kind of ragtag fort are you running? That cat might have eaten a vermin that a depressed dwarf now might get a angry thought over, and this angry thought might be what finally brings him over the edge as he starts a !!tableflip!! near the ĪleverĪ.

It's easier to make biggun'-sized armor wearable by dwarves. Someone else recommended doing this by modding the base size of dwarves to be equivalent to humans (which determines the armor that will fit), but then changing dwarves' growth distribution so that very few dwarves actually reach that height.

It's a feature. It helps slowly grind you down to cause the destrucition of the fortt. It actually needs to go the other way. Make it even more tedious so DF can weed out the weak.
