Would be cool but could cause some problems, like what happens when I have engraved a wall and then I build a new wall right up against the engraving, does it destroy the engraving?

You could try messing with the cull/select symbols tags in the entity raws.

That works, the wiki is rather helpful on this subject.

Plus, two sets of internal organs just means it is that easier to hit something vital. I mean, I don't care how many hearts you have, but they are all connected, so if I slash one open you are still going to bleed to death rather quickly.

There is another option for useless moods in peasants or other dwarves that take up XYZ-crafting. The draft.
The happiness bonus for creating an artifact more than cancels out unhappiness from the draft, and the 20,000 Exp makes for instant training.

As far as children go, I would be happy if they picked a workshop at random.

That would actually be cooler, because then you could create like 10 forges and then you would have a much higher chance of a child having a good mood, like armor or weaponsmithing.

That could work, I'd also like to see peasants with less moods. They've got skills in nothing, so you tend to get useless items from them the most. Maybe less moods in children, less moods in unskilled dwarves, and the closer a dwarf is to legendary the more likely they are to have a mood.

That would be cool.

Yeah, what's the point of having magma without temperature, it is basically the same as having chunky water and it loses all of those useful abilities, like removing all of the junk from goblin siegers and just leaving the worthwhile iron stuff behind.

pathing and liquids take up a lot of processor power, also, it would be helpful if you would tell us what type of computer you are running.

make a stone that boils in contact with air, im currently adding a magical stone that bursts into flame when struck with a pick in this manner. SHould work in theory

Shweeet. I seriously want to have this... perhaps in small pockets, everywhere, causing random explosions in the halls when dwarves dig too carelessly!

here is mine

[MATGLOSS_STONE:DEATH]
[NAME:death][COLOR:7:7:1][TILE:178]
[ENVIRONMENT_SPEC:(insert stone):CLUSTER_ONE:100]
[MELTING_POINT:0]
[BOILING_POINT:1]
[SOLID_DENSITY:1]

This will create pockets of stone in whatever type of stone you want. I currently have about four types that I have customized the names of the stones and the colors to look just like whatever stone they appear in. This current stone immediately evaporate into a mist when mined that will quickly damage and then cause all dwarves within it to freeze to death.

You have struck Death!

Yeah, thought after a few times I edited the names so that the death stones appeared exactly the same as the stone they appeared in. It can be a little to like russian roulette when you know that one of the three squares you uncovered will slay your miner, where the other two will allow you to live. It is especially annoying when a death stone appears in the middle of a project, like a new magma channeling system, because then you need to wait for some worthless peasant to show up so he can mine it out and die.
