Ahh, sorry XD Early morning derp means I worded it badly. I have a single tile of 5/7 magma and would like to move it to a safer location to build a magma smelter on top of it.

Huh. Just busted open the first cavern layer and not only is it hella deep (20 z-levels at least, making it the largest cave I've ever found), the game tells me there's magma in it (despite me not being able to see the bottom where said magma apparently is). This is new and interesting.

I would assume it'd be on par with silver, given it's properties as an excellent blunt weapon metal :|a But as an artifact that wouldn't overly matter would it? It'd still be better than normal?

10, you might want to check with shift+d (D) to check whether or not your trade depot is pathable to. There might be a tree or construction that's blocking the way that the wagons get huffy about. Also merchants can and will get spooked by things like corpses and angry animals, and if one gets spooked before he gets to the depot, it's not unusual for them all to decide to lolnope out.

For number 12, the only way I've personally found to handle issues with stockpiles and workshops being like that is to set up stockpile links. I believe I read once somewhere that workshops are defaulted to taking from links and there's no way to really change it? So sometimes they believe they have nothing in an 'allowed' area to use. Setting up stockpiles to Give to the workshop should fix the issue.

19, I've never had that issue, but try using -= to scroll instead of the numpad? Dunno.

20 is probably the issue that DFhack is counting clothing that's worn, so doesn't think that you need more :|a Try making an atom smasher or magma dump for those and it might resolve itself.

Shellsrims sounds like a Fun place to live. Everyone is murdering everyone else.

Also the fact that he is The Respectful Sport is far more amusing than it has any right to be.

Not these ones, they're reading as fertile. So either mum is a busy lady, or the hatchlings aren't entirely coded right. Either way, more snakesssss.

EDIT: Badass. One of my animal trainers just made Stapglad the Trampled Natures, a wereiguana bone greaves. It's sadly not that interesting besides menacing with wild boar bones and it's worth peanuts, but come on. Wereiguana bone greaves. I approve of material choice.

...this is the most pathetic Forgotten Beast. It has a shell! But it's made of snow and it's apparently emaciated. Time to go slap it a bit and watch it explode.

EDIT: Well it's a blob too. This may require actual military rather than letting whoever's nearby hit it.

You can probably get another King if he died, but I think either you don't get another Baron or it's bugged at present.

I've also had one or two zombie sieges, but I don't think those are really plausible for a starting to intermediate player to fight against and win. Zombies might not be the impossible to kill demigods that they were before, but I don't think they're really balanced yet.

While I'm asking, what are the limits on invaders being able to climb walls now? is it only 1 z-level high walls that they can climb, or am I still not safe if I have a wall with an overhanging fortification on it?

Zombies, as a newer player (though learning fast), are a pain in the ass because of the sheer amount of them and how easily they kill people. Making a dropping tunnel was really the only way I could deal with them.

And invaders can climb anything that doesn't have a roof above it (they won't hang upside-down), I believe. I had a zombie climbing around like a bastard in my drop tunnel for several months, on SMOOTHED WALLS. He did not care.
