So, this is embarrassing, but I never found adamantine while playing vanilla.  According to the wiki, adamantine must be processed using the strand extractor labor at the craftdwarf's station.  What has strand extraction been renamed to?

I'd really like to use Spacefox, but for some reason, the display is glitched for me.  The black background of the menu shows up as light gray, with a darker black box near the text.    Not sure what causes it.

Meanwhile, I use either Masterwork or Phoebus, depending on the map.  Some maps are really cluttered in Masterwork.

Apologies if it's been asked before, but I was wondering about the optimal way to layer armor in Masterwork.  As I understand it, I can wear either chain mail or padded leather under a breastplate, but not both.  Neither can you wear padded leather under your chain mail.

My dwarves keep dumping their equipment all over the fortress, and I'm trying to figure out why.

I'm having an intermittent problem with trading.  The merchants show up, they schlep to the depot just fine, the broker meets with the liaison, then comes to the depot once all his other tasks are cancelled.  I can bring up the trade screen and highlight the objects I want to trade, but pressing t does nothing.  He doesn't reject the deal or make a counteroffer.  It simply... doesn't... do... anything.  Sometimes allowing all dwarves to trade will temporarily fix the problem, but after a small "test trade" the problem will return.  What am I doing wrong?
