its made from moghoppers, you use it for cooking.

I'd love it if it were made from mog from Final fantasy though.

I had to start over because My first attempt got corrupted and now i'm in a neutral biome with a magma vent and a veeeeeerrrrrrrryyy sssslllloooowwwllly growing population. The fort got off to a bad start though, because the native fire imps (of which i had no experience whatsoever in) killed 6 of my 7 starting dwarfs, fortunately it was the miner that survived and my food and booze stockpile was already safely tucked away. The fire imps then proceeded to repeatedly set fire to the plains over the course of the year as my single Dwarf struggled to survive by herself (it was so funny seeing her tantrum and then frantically run around with no one and nothing to take out her frustrations on). Then when the first batch of migrants arrived i recruited four of them and stationed them around the vent just waiting for the little devils to pop their heads out. I've labeled this military action the "great imp genocide" and 2 of my dwarfs died during it, one by a stray fireball and the other by wrestling one of the little bastards into the vent (where he won, then died, and is still burning if the 'U' menu can be trusted), the remaining two killed the last of the imps. i dubbed them both 'imp-slayer' for their efforts. the unfortunate occurrance of a bad mood has killed one of the imp-slayers unfortunately. the other is living comfortably as a legendary engraver, who makes many engravings of his fallen, still burning comrade.

then a simultaneous mishap with my booze production and desalination plant almost killed all my dwarves of thirst.

 Also, oddly enough, i've been sieged and had a Titan attack but haven't had a single ambush yet. Titan got taken out by a single stonefall trap.

anyway,i have about 15 full-time masons (although i predict, once my population gets higher, i'll have 40-50 masons working on it full-time) working on paving the ocean, not with stone, but with blocks. that sort of action might seem to only deliberate slow myself down, but it's slowly gaining momentum as the masons gain attribute levels, they work faster and faster. i've already dumped over 2000 blocks into the project, although it's still in its infancy and i predict that somewhere around 60,000-90,000 blocks will be necessary to fully pave the ocean.

and my name's not Bob.

No bundling, it slows things down in the beginning, and isn't as fast as a group in the higher skill range.

You just need millers, threshers, farmers, potash makers, wood burners, tanners, butchers, leather workers, dyers, weavers, clothiers, and workshop farmers...
Potash makes the produce stacks alot bigger, like up to 11, rope reed, which is an all year plant produce, pig tails ( for a boost in production in some seasons ) , wood for ash ( potash needs ash ) , leather, dye, silk if you can obtain some for profit ( if bought off of merchant then enhanced by your workers, then buy, buy, buy, sell, sell, sell ) ...

My map doesn't have a chasm or any spiders, so no on-site silk production for me! i can still import some though.

you'll notice i colored some of the jobs in your list, the red ones are somewhat extraneous and trivial, in either they're so easy to not be a concern, not truly necessary, or they are necessary, but the jobs can be outsourced via trading. the green ones are necessary, but are a given considering what i'm talking about. the whole industry seems like a big project, which sounds fun.

What you need is:

• Dimple cups, etc ( Don't use hide roots , just make sure to stack you dyes if you're going to use hide root dye )
• Pig Tail, Cave Spider silk... ( Giant Spider Silk are the win )

• Animals for leather ( Leather Workeries > Sew Image ) Idk?

Here is a fact, you can dye and decorate cloths as much as you want, just use different, decorators.
Fact, two, the better their skill the happier you'll be, high grade cloth adorned with high grade decorators is the gold ticket.

So, i can dye and decorate as much as i want you said? i just need two separate dwarfs doing the decorating? i was wondering what the heck was up with this article when it said that i could, but my leatherworker would only sew single images onto things despite having a wide range of leathers to use.

So, i can dye the same cloth multiple different colors? seems like that would require an incredible increase to dye-producing crops, and thus necessary number of farmers. still not sure of the planting/harvesting speed of legendary farmers though.

So, an ideal setup for a cloth industry would be 1 legendary weaver, 2 legendary dyers, and 2 legendary clothiers? think i could bundle dyers and clothiers into the same dwarf?

i think the liaison never arrives again even if you abandon and start a new fort elsewhere, cause thats what i did and i never get a dwarven liaison at my new fort.

You're doing a great job Marlowe. How's KLAR! doing? is he still mining?

I mean, seriously, my last five strange moods were possessions, and they were all atleast 3 seasons apart from eachother. I want some Legendaries around here Damnit!
