I don't know why I waited so long to play with this.

Get some good rest mifki, we needs your prettification of the game.

It's a pretty minor exploit since you can get the same sort of effect if you wanted by doing d-b-d and mass marking things for dumping, put a garbage dump on a stockpile that accepts everything, then let them haul it and d-b-c unforbid it all.

Doing it with minecarts just lets the dorfs do it automatically without the same micromanagement, while the old bridge/hatch undumps were a more complex method with the same goal.

Considering how nice it is having a more compact layout, more efficient pathing to/from the piles, and the lack of the game tracking the temperature of a billion stockpiled items (as I recall it updates the top item in the pile, the rest just hangs around not eating cpu cycles) is a nice fps boost.

Edit: Heck, I got sick of crap rotting in the depot and figured out a fix, I d-b-d mark everything in the depot for dumping after the merchants leave and activate the dump zone over the food stockpile, unmark the actual building materials in the depot itself as it can confuse dorfs sometimes, and let everyone rush in and haul it all into the foodpile before it rots, then unforbid and they sort the rest of the stuff into the appropriate piles happily.

You can try forceequip i b m HD while you have the crown highlighted I think?

Make sure to remove the supplies and unschedule all training so they don't end up turning into legendary wrestlers if that isn't what you're after, and they'll happily dorf around in their little leathery squad like a bunch of disturbingly hairy S&M fetishists... sorry about that last part.

Not something I want to picture, but what you do in your spare time is no business of mine. I tried that earlier but for some reason bits of armour weren't available when I tried to assign specific ones

See if you can locate them and set up a garbage dump by your armor stockpile, then designate them to be dumped and unforbid them, should show up to be available.

They won't need specific armor as long as you've got 4 leather armor bodies, 4 leggings, and 8 boots.

It amuses me every time I read it.

Actually that explains why you'd use them for tragedy training.

Doggie McBone Doctor cancels criticism: unsafe terrain.

Yeah, but is there a way to replace stone with adamantium? I saw someone else do it, and thought it was interesting.

Assuming you mean "adamantine", there is a "changelayer" command which does exactly that.

It is also fun and a great way to break things, but just turning stone into adamantine isn't so bad, be careful doing it with soil layers though, that gets a bit weird.

A more controlled way if you want to dig a fort out of candy is to use reveal and find one of the big round inclusions and do changevein RAW_ADAMANTINE through a few z levels (and remember to move the cursor a bit, I think it does it in 32x32 chunks lined up with the map grid), which should give you a nice big area to hollow out and polish up into a shiny candyland funhouse.

I recall the steel crit findings so I just go with that unless I happen to have someone moody and happen to know they love war hammers and happen to have platinum or gold or whatnot so I can forbid everything else.
