trying to manipulate the material of an artifact by forbidding certain materials will result in the dwarf not using the base material "that he takes anyway". Apparently toad bone out of thin air.

that also means you need to be "real" careful about digging, because those rivers can freeze miners solid, sometimes your last pick!

the bags vary based on what hide/cloth they are made out of
usually giant cave spider silk is the most common that you'll see(200 for a no quality bag).

it only hurts real bad when the dwarf himself is on fire, or when anything he's carrying is on fire.

1st of granite, early spring, "arrival"
"well planned" comes to mind as i examine the architecture of my predecessors. It seems that the fort can withstand the test of time, attested by the numerous dead goblins whoose names have been recorded for future prosperity. Much storage space, and many bins have been placed.
I congradulate them on the amount of space available.

First order of buisness, goals:
   river grates for the fisherdwarves
It seems the fisherdwarves are in short supply. Fort dwellers seem anxious when asked about the discrepancy. Perhaps the marksmen need new targets? I dare not dwell further on the shortage.
   cooking the large amount of fat, especially unicorn fat to ensure it does not rot. People have complained of a large number of seed-based biscuits lately. I have ordered the fat cooked.
   smelting the excess supply of lignite
lignite is universally considered as an inferior fuel source, however, the halls can still be rid of it easily.
   mining rare gems from the bauxite:
This new-fangled goblin clothing can be reclaimed using studding and encrusting, I fully intend on encrusting many gcs items, though it may not work out.    

a ramp has been commissioned with the masons, to provide a path for marksdwarves to shoot carp in (on the fortress walls)

if only there was sand available on the map, my tomb would be built with blocks of unicorn soap.  Not because its super valuble, but because unicorns are natural enemies of dwarves,  as per some sort of demon horse, complete with horns and a bad attitude.
    a new goblin shooting gallery will soon be established in the archery range, using hatches, levers, and fortifications(sniper goblins will not be given this "preferential treatment")

40c increased dwarf fort speed by at least 3x
(with the right init options)

artifact coffins given to nobles to speed their untimely death?
