Zip includes a few descriptor_shape_legends.txt to choose from. They are compatible with all recent versions. Just drop the file in the raws and they'll appear sporadically on engravings and items.

Grammar is a bit awkward at times, since shape descriptions aren't quite intended to contain these texts.

Mantis refuses to send me the email confirmation for my account, so I'll report this here.

Ever since many versions ago and on vanilla and different mod flavors (on Linux) I get crashes on worldgen at random dates. I've started to notice the worldgen may be consistently more likely to reach 1050 if I go to advanced parameters and change the population cap right before generating. Sometimes I would change the cap just one up or down and then it generates without crashing.

Haii. I've gathered engravings from the "It's the simple things" mod, Dig Deeper mod and from here http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=3442 and added a bunch of new ones:



You can download the file here. It goes into raw/objects.

I'd like to collect more vanilla-ish engravings, if you know/can suggest others I'll check them.

Prelude:
DF Version: 34.11
Tileset: The original save uses IronHand. There's no raw customizations, except for enabling human diplomats with DFHack, so replacing the raws with vanilla or your tileset's default ones should be fine.
Ardentdikes thread: here. TL;DR: here.

General rules:
1. Each player has one in-game year to run the fortress.
2. Each player has two weeks of real time to finish their turn. This timeframe may be changed if deemed necessary. Take as much time as necessary to complete the turn, but give regular updates, lest we throw you into the bees pit while you sleep.
3. Once the previous' players turn ends, you have 72 hours to begin your turn before we throw you into the bees pit AND then into the eternally-burning-zombie-forgotten-beast-ridden cavern. You won't get free sandwiches there.
4. If you changed the tileset in your save by replacing the raws, specify it when posting the save.
5. Try not to kill the fortress.

Dorfing rules:
1. When a dorfed dwarf (named after a player) dies, redorf them with an incremental roman number. I.e. Urist McAwesome -> Urist McAwesome II.
2. You can freely play with undorfed dwarves' professions, but try to respect changes from previous overseers and to make the names relevant to the dwarf's role/history in the fort.
3. You can dorf yourself during your turn if you aren't dorfed already.
4. You can arbitrarily name undorfed dwarves, up to 5 (besides yourself), unless there's only 10 or less unnamed dwarves available.

The Ardentdikes style:
1. Try to build a nice aboveground fortress.
2. Magma dikes > Magma moats.
3. A device to cleanse the fortress with magma is mandatory. This is how Ardentdikes survived the rotting extract spiral. Twice.
4. Automated traps that kill enemies and innocent bystanders are awesome.

Topic says all.

I was wondering if water could be used as an infrarred movement detector versus trapavoid creatures by sensing the drop of the water level.

I know my open air dwarf washer needs autorefilling from time to time, but I don't know if it is because they like spicy drinks.
