DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Why won't you MOVE?!

Is recession and consequent unemployment an emergent feature of the economic model?
To be serious, it sounds like a bug.

Wikipedia article on Glycerol.

The Glycerol Challenge.
Note that Wikipedia lists several uses in food production (under Applications) and Compost and Conversion to Ethanol (under Potential Uses).
I can see Glycerol being a very useful product in a Dwarf fortress.

This has been asked before. It's a known bug. See this thread:

Does the additional traffic caused by large numbers of animals roaming through the Fortress affect pathfinding, travel times and related issues?

DF Gameplay Questions / How do I retrieve an artifact?
« on: September 09, 2006, 03:36:00 pm »
My legendary metalworker has just died of starvation. She was carrying the artifact she created. How do I retrieve the artifact? Am I right in thinking that it should eventually be hauled to a Finished Goods stockpile?
The artifact is a skull totem. See this thread for its description:

DF Gameplay Questions / Payment in cash?
« on: September 08, 2006, 01:43:00 pm »
I have a broker, so I know the cash value of the items that I am trading. I do not yet have a bookkeeper.
Can I get the merchants to pay in coins? Do I need a bookkeeper for this, or am I always limited to barter for foreign trade?

DF Gameplay Questions / Trade Agreements
« on: September 07, 2006, 05:36:00 pm »
Could someone please give me an idiot-level description of how the interface for Trade Agreements works?
I recently encountered this for the first time, and I think I may have signed up to an agreenment I can't complete.
1. How does the interface for trade agreenments work?
2. How do I view a trade agreement after I've made it?
3. What are the penalties for failing to fulfill a trade agreement?

DF Gameplay Questions / Contents of bins, barrels and other containers.
« on: September 05, 2006, 09:43:00 am »
Is there any way to see the contents of a bin?
The only time I've been able to do this is at the trade depot. Can I just look at the contents of a bin in a stockpile in other circumstances?

Plump helmets are a good basic food, with two advantages:
1 They can be grown all the year round.
2 After eating, seeds are left, which can then be planted the following season.
