Sorry to post it here, but ModdersWorkshop have thread-advancing-too-fast problem.

So. I'm trying to port alchemy bits from CivForge into .19 utilizing super-container-powers.
Main question. Can I specify more than one liquid-in-a-jar-o  as reagents or products?
I.e. can I do this:
[REACTION:MAKE_RELON_AREN]
[NAME:mix relon aren]
[BUILDING:ALCHEMY_LAB:CUSTOM_R]
[REAGENT:nabid ubal:450:LIQUID_MISC:NONE:NABID_UBAL]
[REAGENT:nabid ubal 1 container:3:NONE:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[CONTAINS:nabid ubal]
[DOES_NOT_ABSORB]
[PRESERVE_REAGENT]
[HAS_TOOL_USE:LIQUID_CONTAINER]
[DOES_NOT_DETERMINE_PRODUCT_AMOUNT]
[REAGENT:emen aren:150:LIQUID_MISC:NONE:EMEN_AREN]
[REAGENT:emen aren container:1:NONE:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[CONTAINS:emen aren]
[DOES_NOT_ABSORB]
[PRESERVE_REAGENT]
[HAS_TOOL_USE:LIQUID_CONTAINER]
[DOES_NOT_DETERMINE_PRODUCT_AMOUNT]
[PRODUCT:100:4:LIQUID_MISC:NONE:INORGANIC:RELON_AREN][PRODUCT_TO_CONTAINER:emen aren container]
[SKILL:ALCHEMY] Or I should list them separately, like this:
[REACTION:MAKE_RELON_AREN]
[NAME:mix relon aren]
[BUILDING:ALCHEMY_LAB:CUSTOM_R]
[REAGENT:nabid ubal 1:150:LIQUID_MISC:NONE:NABID_UBAL]
[REAGENT:nabid ubal 1 container:1:NONE:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[CONTAINS:nabid ubal 1]
[DOES_NOT_ABSORB]
[PRESERVE_REAGENT]
[HAS_TOOL_USE:LIQUID_CONTAINER]
[DOES_NOT_DETERMINE_PRODUCT_AMOUNT]
[REAGENT:nabid ubal 2:150:LIQUID_MISC:NONE:NABID_UBAL]
[REAGENT:nabid ubal 2 container:1:NONE:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[CONTAINS:nabid ubal 2]
[DOES_NOT_ABSORB]
[PRESERVE_REAGENT]
[HAS_TOOL_USE:LIQUID_CONTAINER]
[DOES_NOT_DETERMINE_PRODUCT_AMOUNT]
[REAGENT:nabid ubal 3:150:LIQUID_MISC:NONE:NABID_UBAL]
[REAGENT:nabid ubal 3 container:1:NONE:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[CONTAINS:nabid ubal 3]
[DOES_NOT_ABSORB]
[PRESERVE_REAGENT]
[HAS_TOOL_USE:LIQUID_CONTAINER]
[DOES_NOT_DETERMINE_PRODUCT_AMOUNT]
[REAGENT:emen aren:150:LIQUID_MISC:NONE:EMEN_AREN]
[REAGENT:emen aren container:1:NONE:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[CONTAINS:emen aren]
[DOES_NOT_ABSORB]
[PRESERVE_REAGENT]
[HAS_TOOL_USE:LIQUID_CONTAINER]
[DOES_NOT_DETERMINE_PRODUCT_AMOUNT]
[PRODUCT:100:1:LIQUID_MISC:NONE:INORGANIC:RELON_AREN][PRODUCT_TO_CONTAINER:emen aren container]
           [PRODUCT:100:1:LIQUID_MISC:NONE:INORGANIC:RELON_AREN][PRODUCT_TO_CONTAINER:nabid ubal 1 container]
           [PRODUCT:100:1:LIQUID_MISC:NONE:INORGANIC:RELON_AREN][PRODUCT_TO_CONTAINER:nabid ubal 2 container]
           [PRODUCT:100:1:LIQUID_MISC:NONE:INORGANIC:RELON_AREN][PRODUCT_TO_CONTAINER:nabid ubal 3 container]
[SKILL:ALCHEMY] Or I should list separately only reagents?

Also, should I add [PRODUCT_DIMENSIONS:###] somewhere around?

Suddenly I saw kitten corpse. Looked it in messages and found out that it starved.
Ok, I haven't touched DF in a few months and it seems I don't know about some new additions. Sorry for asking here, couldn't found that in wiki.
So. a) since what version animals require food?
     b) How much food/vermins required for a cat in season?
     c) Any other information.


... or it is because of inattentive modding?

Okay, so I am a noob for adv. mode. I built a pretty large fortress, but I am bored, so I want to tantrum spiral it or just abandon. Also made nice artifact vault. Question - how do I find it in adventure mode? I don't remember even where in world map it was. Thankfully world size is SMALLER.

So, I usually wait for first migrants to show up, and then designate every stone in fortress to dumping, creating quantum stockpiles. Now, in last game I noticed, that some stones aren't dumped. For 2 years. They are not unreachable, they aren't forbidden, they are marked for dumping... They just lie around, doing nothing... Ok, last one is normal, I s'pose, but still. Is this a sort of bug?

Oh-kay, so
1) Well, what about building bauxite floodgate and connecting it to lever with a slate mechanisms? Wiki says that  

quote:

---

Bauxite is the only stone, apart from adamantine, which is suitable for the construction of mechanisms to be used in floodgates which will come into contact with magma.

---

I forgot about it, but it seems that floodgates are all OK.Or melting stone takes so much time?
2) can anybody give me some guidelines about military/defence? When should I start worrying about it?
3) I want to grow some outside plants. I build plot on grass without trees/ plot built? but nobody works on it/ Wassup&
4) just for fun - what about stuff made from ice (aka water in winter)?
+5) another fun recently - made outside of fortress somewhat high tower. At top I'm going to build quarters for nobles. anything special to note.

oh-kay. Well, I found a somewhat fine place on map, with everything I wanted (well, besides magma). So there are questions.

First, does fertility level of soil depends on its type? for example, silt vs sand vs mud ?
Second, what can you say about water resources:
a) Will fish replenish in lakes from zero? It seems that rivers/brooks are infinite sources of fish.
b) Will water in lakes replenish in spring? And if lake was dried?
c) Am I understand correctly that _one_ dwarf with _one_ bucket carries _one_ water level from _one_ tile?
d) How much water dwarf drinks? Because I once constructed well site like this:

(to brook)
  #~#
####~#
#~~+~#
#<~#X#
#~~~~#
######

X is floodgate, + is artifical wall(stupid dwarf entered tunnel and put floodgate behind nimself, effectively locking himself.)
And for about two years water level never decreased. Or artifical walls doesn't hold water?

Well, that;s all for now.

AND just another question before I forget about it - I'm currently using "The Mike Mayday graphics edition", and encountered a problem - I have to press 'enter' twice. All other keys working normally. Is this a bug or a feature?

Well, my Metalsmith went into a fey mood, and made artifact Iron Throne. Just for fun I wanted to put it into my mayor office, but i can't find it.

So, where all artifacts are stored?
