Can items inside a depot be swept away? I'm guessing no... I suspect the depot's item is inside the depot, like in the workshops.

But please try it and tell us the results, for the name of science.

I never keep track of shop prices... but I do know reputation has an effect on services. Also Fighter's Guild gives you a big discount on item ID. That's a big enough reason for me to stay in it... after getting/stealing what I need from the other guilds of course.

There is one thing that has not been mentioned. 

Use Dwarf Foreman.
Its an external program but it will save you HOURS of tedious job changes.

You can find it by going to the thread on my sig or using google for "Dwarf foreman"

I know about Dwarf Foreman for a long time... but I am not too sure about it, because it says it is prone to crash sometimes... I'd hate to repeat something I did 20 minutes ago because of a crash.

It does crash on occasion, but only dwarf foreman crashes, every instance so far my fortress has not lost a second of its 6 FPS plodding time.

Oh?!

So the crash is not in DF... not caused by Dwarf Foreman messing with Dwarf Fortress' memory, instead it's just a bug in Foreman itself?

I'll go check it out then... thanks for the news.

If you want lots of fun, try playing as Battleship Genocide.

Tried that already... I read about in the the guide. Doesn't feel really really really powerful though... that behemoth is not easy to maneuver, and I was expecting Marcross-like main cannon

Also you can wear lots of ruby items... IIRC they give you +3 Life.

I'd have to test if that works;

Most RPGs do not factor in item bonuses that affect stats that are only relevant on level up.
 
Somewhere on the wiki I read it is no longer possible to read a certain scroll to get more skillpoints on level up or something.

No clue what about the rubies.

Elona isn't most RPG.

I just tested, wielding a rubynus sword (it gives +3 Life) boosted my health from 498 to 510.

I kept at most two pages of animals as breeders... any more than that I will put into cages or slaughter for meat/leather. I create an inside/light area for the butchery and tanner's workshop so I have no trouble with the fat/meat rotting.

Sounds like a nice deal there, but how exactly do you manage those pets? Keep the number around 2 pages and only execute the ones you want. Do chained animals breed or something?

I recently started killing all the cats... I hate them for leaving all those pest corpses around.

Since cats are out, I just don't assign any animals to be available for adopt. If an immigrant comes with a non-cat pet, I let them move around freely... and let them act as breeders and die of old age or accidents.

kcwong: Yeah, the server mode lets you do that.

It does? I guess I'll fiddle with the controls more... maybe I wasn't playing the correct game type.

Edit: I was playing "Interception"... for 1v1 practice, it should be survival. Then add an AI and assign it to another team.

BTW, do you notice some of the attacks are not accurate? For example,

Anthurium's super laser is a bit off to the left (since she's holding it with her left hand?). I know you're supposed to swing it around, but when you're shooting at a single target from far away, even one slight tap to the right will miss the target.

Many all range attacks are also useless when used in close quarters.

XP-B's attacks misses horribly (lands behind target) when used in medium range.

Edit 2: How do you control 2K's pitch when in plane mode (hold guard after double tap booster)? I found myself driving the nose into the ground no matter which key I press.
