I got a king early due to the parent civ being dead and the caravans still come, complete with liaison. The liaison ignores him completely and meets with the expedition leader instead, which is rather amusing.

Also, I gave him a grand bedroom and nothing else (he eats in the royal communal dining room) and, although he complains about this constantly, it doesn't affect his mood all that much. He also doesn't have even half of the furniture items listed on his page and doesn't seem to mind at all.

So there's no way to make the letters display properly other than getting rid of them altogether?

The only reason gods curse people is if they profane a temple. Since Dwarven sites have no temples, there's nothing to profane and thus nothing to be cursed for.

I suspected as much after looking though legends for a bit, thanks for confirming. Still, where did all the vampire migrants everyone was complaining about a while ago come from if dwarven deities didn't curse them? Dwarves from human civs can't immigrate, can they?

Loyalty cascade due to a bug involving berserk dwarves. It's already fixed in the next version.

In the meantime, if you have a save from before the original berserk cheese-maker started fighting and can't avoid him going insane, try to wall him in before anyone else sees him. He should be safe to move once he's dead.

Is there a way to get the first cavern layer to be placed closer to the surface in worldgen? Also, will generating a longer history result in more vampires? I keep hearing about people being accosted by hordes of vampire migrants, but I haven't seen a single one so far.

In advanced worldgen paramaters, You are looking for a series of like 5 parameters, quite low in the list.  Something like "layers above 1, 2, 3, 4, 5".  1 is the top-cavern, by default its set to like 5 i think, try tweaking that downward a little.  (2 and 3 are spacing between caverns.  4 i think is sea and 5 smr, or something like this.  I only ever adjust the first for depth to cavern 1)

It doesn't go lower than 5, unfortunately. Guess I'll try getting rid of the other two cavern layers instead and hope that doesn't also remove the HFS layer.

Does someone know how I get an artefact Bucket out of my hospital?
Even deleting the hospital zone does not make my dorfs haul it back to the artefact vault.

Have you tried dumping it?

I'm pretty sure you can't dump artifacts.

I know that used to be the case, but there's nothing about dumping in the wiki for the current version, so I assumed that'd been changed. I apologise if I was wrong, anyway.

Tried a save originally from 0.40.03 - if you don't mind all stockpiles suddenly being marked as "inside, dark, above ground", it seems to work fine.

That's even possible? I thought light/dark and above/below ground were the same variable.

It doesn't happen under normal circumstances, as far as I know, but it's definitely possible.
