Masterwork DF / Re: [DWARF] - Gameplay Questions

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?

Masterwork DF / Re: What's happening in your Fort.
« on: October 28, 2013, 12:25:01 pm »
A weregiraffe showed up at my fortress a few months after embarkation.  It swung my only militiaman around by his toe, ripped out his teeth (!!!), and tore him limb from limb.  It was the most disturbing death I've ever seen in my time with Dwarf Fortress.  I'm left with a lifetime phobia of giraffes.

Masterwork DF / Re: Which Tileset Do You Use?
« on: October 25, 2013, 12:02:09 pm »
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.

Edit: Nevermind, I missed the thread that addressed this issue.

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.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: No trades can be made
« on: September 06, 2013, 02:24:27 pm »
You can't trade while using the search function at the same time. Try deleting any word currently in there, and trade again.

At least, that was the problem I was having.

That fixed it for me.  How awkward.  Removing the word from the search function results in losing that item from the active screen, which makes me worry about accidentally selecting the wrong thing.  This is my second game, but in my first, I accidentally traded an entire barrel full of gems for a single piece of leather due to an erroneous selection.

DF Gameplay Questions / No trades can be made
« on: September 06, 2013, 01:16:34 pm »
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?
