Yes, the meeting area was outside, but they were using it fine before. It may have to do with my designate dumping some rocks that were designated hidden, but only Toady would know for sure.

And I hadn't even cut down any trees yet.

Let us shed manly tears for those whose utilities are now obsolete, and a salute, for we may not have these without them.

They're still around, just not everywhere. How often do you see cliffs in real life?

I wonder if they refill when they've been covered up...

Just stick in the [NO_SLEEP] tag.

Anyway, I notice that food seems to rot extremely quickly now.
I brought like 100 barrels of meat with me to a new fort and they all rotted away, even though they were IN BARRELS and IN A STOCKPILE. Also, any food merchants bring is also rotten. This is a major problem.

What would be neat: Dwarves playing music on the instruments you can make in the game, and they can join together and jam. The different instruments could have their own sound files, and when the dorfs start playing they will wait for the right moment to start playing so that they match up with those already playing, like in The Sims 2.

Having the music sound better or worse based on some musical skill probably would take up a lot of file space and be harder to implement.

In game terms, Dwarves listening to good musicians could provide a nice bonus to mood, or maybe warriors who listen to music right before battle could be more likely to trance. Since there is already some code to tell if dwarves' sleep is disturbed by workshop sounds, that could probably be used in a similar way.

Genius factory!

You could use the teleport thing as an elaborate trap.

Stick the caged gobbos in a pit, and the next time an invasion comes, pour magma on them. The burning stuff will teleport to the trap corridor, setting any of those little green bastards who walk over it on fire.

Don't know about that, but keep in mind that it'll be just like obsidian when it comes to quality. There's no way to change that yet.
