You have to buy some quarry bush leaves from the caravan and mill them as well; buying the seeds is not enough.

I would assume it's because the seeds are of a plant the farmers are not familiar with; once you have had the plant they grow into and have procured seeds from it, they have a better idea of what the seeds are for and how to care for the plants.

I'll try that; however, I was able to grow sweet pods from seeds bought from the same caravan, even though I only bought the seeds and not the actual plant.

As far as  I know, giving them [BABYSNATCHER]  will make them behave like goblins do in vanilla DF, ie steal children, ambush and later siege, while removing [INTELLIGENT] and adding [CAN_CIV] and [CAN_LEARN] will make them hostile to everyone, and start sieging straight away.

Ok, well I don't know if everyone has a similar experience to me, but I find the game crashes fairly frequently, seemingly at random, and the option of more frequent autosaves would be nice.

Obviously I can get around this with frequent manual saves, but this is easy to forget, especially when you are in the middle of a complex digging designation at the same time as fighting a siege, managing nobles' mandates and trying to get the right stuff for a moody dwarf.

At present, the most frequent autosave option is seasonal, but I don't think it could be very hard to change this to monthly.

What would be even better would be a real-time based option, eg autosave every 30 minutes etc, so that if you spend a long time deciding/designating stuff  but not much game time passes, the autosave has a chance to catch it.

If you turn all the rocks into blocks first, it will build up the skill of your mason.

on embark I had a meat called < meat> that was worth 0 points, and that when I embarked with it, it instantly blew up.

Sounds like the kind of meat dwarves would love.

After a recent attack, both a war dog and a normal (untrained dog) were killed.

While the untrained dog was buried in a coffin, the corpse of the war dog was left on a refuse stockpile, eventually rotting and causing its owner another unhappy thought (forced to endure the decay of a pet.)

There were coffins available, set to 'allow pet burial', dwarves were allowed to gather all types of refuse from outdoors, had access to the refuse stockpile and the coffins, and plenty of idle dwarves set to hauling.

Even when I un-designated the refuse stockpile where it was lying, a dwarf just came and hauled the corpse to another refuse stockpile and did not put it in a coffin.

Is this known behaviour in 40d (war dogs not getting buried?) as I'm sure in earlier versions they were buried like other pets.
