Get each dwarf equipped with "replace clothing" to make sure they put it on right, then set it to over clothing and just toss them clothes as you see fit. I didn't even consider shipping clothes, just food/booze and materials.

Yeah, but it can be difficult to move everything to an atom smasher in some situations.

If nothing else you could exterminate them then autodump the bodies into a smasher.

For reference, exterminate undead is the command to fix that issue. I had something like 150 roaming around, no new births, no migrants, fps dropped from 180 to 50 at best, killing them brought me back up to 80 or so.

They are too heavy to be swung effectively without tiring the user. No proud Dwarf would wield one, yet they will wield a rock sword. Why? I do not know.

Why don't Dwarves commit actual murder outside of tantrums?

No noble dwarf would do this, only the most cursed and insane wretches would dare... possibly also needs better emotions from toady doing the rewrite which will hopefully enable crimes of passion.

Why do dwarves depict dogs striking down kobolds/goblins as "The dog is laughing", is my sanity not brutalized enough already?

I would do it by having carts distribute stuff and drop it onto the workshops as mentioned above, but I'd make sure the carts couldn't actually reach the workshop unless the dwarf was in his room, then when he leaves to go to the workshop it releases the cart to go back to get reloaded.

After you get up to like 10 dwarves per workshop path the tracks needed seem pretty much impossible just from trying to lay it out in my head.

The most awe inspiring story I've had in this game involved an untrained miner/engraver single-handedly slaying a FB with dwarf-flesh-rotting blood before it got into the fort and killed everyone.

He ended up stumbling around the halls blind and rotting, and I only found him by the miasma coming off of him. Atir Cobaltthrows was a damn hero, saved an entire fort and nobody knew he did it.

Well, after I carved a massive tomb with a shaft going up some 20 levels to let light fall on his solid gold sarcophagus (after all, if anyone deserves a bit of light in their eternal rest, it's the guy who sacrificed his sight and life for everyone else) they all knew.

Having him turn and panic and run instead would be more realistic, and probably more !Fun!, but it wouldn't be as awesome.

Hmmm, that's not the elevator design I like to use.

I draw the tracks onto the ramps then undesignate the actual ramp square, and repeat so they connect from the top down but not the bottom. One push and it hauls stuff safely up absurd numbers of levels and stops smoothly for dumping/returning down to the bottom through a drop shaft.

I assume it's part of the checkpoint effect, I thought it was listed as a reverse-impulse elevator on the wiki though, I just know I went with it after a fun experiment involving trying to set up a long ridden track section that led to tons of hilarity (I'm laughing just thinking about when I figured out to step through it and watched the dwarf hop on and hang on for dear life until it derailed and flung him 5 or 6 tiles before he grabs the cart, takes it back and does it again) and decided I prefer the non-impulse ramp methods.

Gen worlds with the same parameters as you were using but raise the minimum temperature a bit?
