They couldn't do anything because they'd be forced to GET OVER HERE!

WWUD if blizzard man ninjas?

Check your 'o'rders menu to make sure they're told to gather refuse.  If you made the dump zone afterwards, you might have to claim and re-forbid it.

Metal conducts heat very well.  Same reason you get burned touching a hot pan.

When will people stop making unfunny beard jokes?

Tried to delete and re-add the bison, this time with more space between it and the last entry.  No help.

Why can't modding be nice and simple like it was in 40.19?  I made more complex creatures there and they never gave me any trouble.

I guess I'll have to start a game to see if the oyster/mussel tallow & leather crap actually has any effect on the gameplay itself.  I suspect it has something to do with peasants arriving who have literally no skills at all. 

I don't believe I've changed material_template_default.txt at all.  I've never even touched the file, and the info for the file indicates thus.  Somehow I managed to make the forgotten beast stuff go away.  All the other mods that are currently in don't cause me any trouble at all.

I removed the leather and tallow tags from the shellfish, but it gives me errors for it anyway.  I'm starting to consider giving up modding, because after 40.19 it doesn't do anything but cause bugs.

I even tried copy-pasting unmodified raws onto the (equally unmodified) shellfish raws, but to no avail.  It still gives errors for things that don't even exist.

Any idea what this is on about?  I added in a bison creature, but I haven't touched any of these, and I thought I fixed the aquiloup thing.  I don't know why modding became so much harder after 40.19...every modded creature I add brings about some kind of bug.

Apparently modding it in somehow causes oysters and mussels to have leather and tallow templates?  This doesn't make a lick of sense.  Why do modded raws in one file mess up untouched raws in completely separate files?

One of the first things I get going in my forts after I've dug stuff out is the drawbridge. One floor is dedicated mostly to a "safe room" with food and drink stockpiles, as well as niches for several levers.  Make a burrow of the room (don't forget to include the lever!) and assign said burrow to a new military alert.  Keep some guard animals at the entrances, as has been suggested - one giant dingo made the ultimate sacrifice so the civilians could get inside.

A lot of people think cage traps are OP, but I tend to keep them around because I'm always trying to catch some kind of animal.  Lo and behold, I now have a werecoati languishing in a tiny cage.

I use the "animals Storm likes and wants in her games" mod and the "making good regions less boring" mod.  Basically I just add in a few critters, make some critters shearable and others trainable.  I've run into a roadblock recently, because I had the perfect idea for a good wetlands monster but every time I try to add it this egregious bug pops up.  Ugh.
