Once you breach a cavern, just wall it up. Under ground plant life will continue to grow on underground soil, or muddied stone

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Has anyone gotten a rock nut industry going

When you start making rock oil/lye it starts getting stored in 1 barrel, till it reaches max capacity(Have seen over 100 in 1 barrel.) So just have 1 soap workshop on repeat for steady production. Always trade for lye( figure that out 10 units a barrel). Use the depot trick for lye/water mixed, or milk creatures which the milkers will empty the contaminated buckets

Jaxlar never depend on doors for first level of security. Build a drawbridge then a narrow tunnel leading to another drawbridge. The dogs, pardon the pun are dogmeat where they are on chains.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Arming my Archers?
« on: September 24, 2011, 01:14:48 am »
i have always thought that the range you set on archery targets effects their capability to fire from behind fortifications.When they train on the longer sized ranges and become efficient, they can then stand farther back from the fortifications and shoot.lol, their telescopic sites on the cbows set for that range.
As for the different materials for bolts, whether used for combat or training, it takes a little micromanagement, but its worth it for combat. Just produce enough bone bolts/wooden ones to let them train when you want them too. Have a small supply of the better bolts ready to supply them with in seiges, CT. When the siege is over, they will waste the good bolts training so just only assign the squads just enough to fill their quivers

building a unpaved road, then removing it is a good technique for removing plant growth, for either future plots, or sand/clay gathering spots

To start out, having the uniform replace clothing will cut down on some of the confusion. Some of their civvy clothing causes problems when a uniform is assigned, especially gloves.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Something is wrong with my well...
« on: September 04, 2011, 01:11:41 pm »
Could be that you do not have enugh wells. Only one dorf can use the well at a time. When many are not wearing clothes, they seem to take baths more frequently, so extra needs to visit the well are added, plus thirsty prisoners/wounded.
Another problem with a large population has struck.

Watch out though. With too much weight on the bridge, it will not raise.
