GCS aren't hostile, they need a military unit to trigger it. Try using a goblin or some other invader.
It says "Hostile" here though -- http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Creature

What creatures can I use for the GCS (Giant Cave Spider) silk farming purposes?

I've tried to chain tamed dogs (both common and war ones), wild warthog and even a citizen vampire -- the GCS doesn't seem to notice them at all! The only option is to use military dwarves but I don't want to use them like that tbh.

Is there any way to expel an insane dwarf? I don't want him to die of dehydration or something inside my fort's walls.

If I "Expel" him via v-p-e he stays in the fortress running around babbling anyway.

DF Gameplay Questions / Work Orders Cancellation Spam
« on: June 07, 2019, 01:36:28 am »
Hi guys!

I do not understand why am I constantly getting "Urist McCheeseMaker cancels Decorate With ivory/tooth: Needs unrotten ivory/tooth body part" messages for the following order:



I thought that this task won't start if I have less than 5 unrotten ivory/tooth body part as well as 5 improvable items.

There's only one dwarf with the "Bone Carving" labor enabled and, as you can see on the screenshot, the requirements are not fulfilled to start that order.

The same goes for some other tasks (for example, "forge iron gauntlets").

So, what's the deal?

I want to catch magma man actually.

Is there any list where I can find which creatures require magma-safe traps and which doesn't?

Well, I'm going to place cage traps in my corridors to catch those creatures who come out from magma sea.

What about my second question? How can I choose magma-safe cages when building cage traps?

I want to catch some magma creatures via cage traps.

Does material of which cages are made of matter? Should it be magma-safe? If so, how can I choose magma-safe cafe when setting up a cafe trap?

Should I also use magma-safe mechanisms?

She doesn't accept any labors!




She also doesn't do any military-related stuff although she is in the squad.

According to the Wiki:

Quote
Selling a masterwork item to a caravan will cause an unhappy thought when the wagon carrying it leaves the map

Is it true? So I can't sell those tons of masterpiece mugs to caravans?

Is there any way to disable "Harvest Plants" labor for specific dwarves?

I don't want my miners to pick up plump helmets when they are supposed to mine adamantine vein on Z-120 level.

All "Hauling" labors are turned off.

DF Gameplay Questions / Are silk farms still work?
« on: May 27, 2016, 02:38:30 am »
I just caught a giant cave spider and created a "traditional" silk farm as the following:



Dwarves see the spider (because I receive "interrupted by Giant Cave Spider" messages) but the spider doesn't throw web at my military dwarves.

What's the reason?

Will blood in a water source attached to a well result in an infection of wounded dwarves?

If so, will pumps clean it?
