Water gets all contaminants off, but it also contaminates the water. Do you have unlimited water flow on your map, such as from a river or brook? If yes, you can use that for a decon room, just make sure no dwarf enters the same river twice.

Also remember, that multi-core doesn't really help DF. A 3 Ghz single-core would be better than a 2,7 Ghz dual-core.

That's not strictly true, as most single core cpus will do far less with a cycle than the newer multicore cpus.

I start with 1, eventually training up a second one, most of the time, not counting military pickdwarves.

Everybody has their own definition of cheating. Some think it's not dwarvenly unless your doods have to kill every enemy with their unarmored buttocks.

What happens when they find out they hit the magma sea before they build the bottom?  Or hit a chasm?  or find some cotton candy?

How to make it perfect: build it with clear windows overlooking the empty space, then fill said space with magma.

I can't seem to reproduce the issue I had (Adding placeholder workshops + changing dwarven ethics in two separate metamods didn't accept ethics changes). I merged the mods as a workaround, but splitting them again didn't cause the same error. Perhaps it is due to the order in which they are applied?

I like the carnival crusader idea. You can train your champions by having them destroy a goblin siege singlehandedly.

Um, I'm using the one with lower random access time for my system drive.
