Nice design, orrey. The central bit could easily be converted into a smashing circular road.

Bonus point if you make it a log of excrement.
That's a pretty good solution, unfortunately it doesn't allow for plumbing, but oh well. Another industry to use poo in: tanning.

I don't think there's really anything that makes the DF fanbase stand out that much from others, other than it's pretty small, and the portion that actually posts in the forum is pretty small too.
You should play a couple of games of Halo on Exbox Live, just to see how lucky you are. The worst you get here is constant hurr-durring about magma.

Considering these types of threads show up every few months and are the butt of jokes on various sites that poke fun at the Bay12 forums for it and in the past were actually just trolls, I think everyone's just sick to death of discussing dwarven waste.
Precisely why it should be added.
Also, I don't see how rotting, festering wounds are any more palatable or appropriate than poo.

Life Advice / Help organizing my HDDs
« on: July 01, 2011, 01:25:23 am »
Hi, I have an old Seagate 1TB SATA Hard Drive ST31000340AS, SATA 3Gb/s, 32MB, 7200 RPM. Right now it's filled to about 98%, so I'm looking to buy a new HDD. I have my eyes set on Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB, SATA 6Gb/s, 64MB, 5900 RPM, due to its decent performance and affordable price. Now, that leaves me with 3GB storage space.
I'm looking for ways to distribute and use that space. I need about 250GB for the system partition and at least 500GB for critical files, the rest will be used for bulk storage.
I'm considering 2 schemes:
1. Windows RAID1 (1TB old Barracuda + 1TB new Barracuda Green) for system (250GB) and critical files (750GB), the other TB on the new Barracuda Green being dedicated to bulk storage.
2. All the data on the new Barracude Green with the old HDD only being used for backup.
Additionally, absolutely critical files will be backed up into the cloud.
So, I'm looking for any feedback or suggestions you might have.
Bonus points for taking the migration process into account, as I do not fancy copying a terabyte of data over and over.

Being on break for 6 months is taking the piss though. Tell us if she ever gets around to doing anything, I'm interested in knowing if this is intended behavior for lazy nobles.

I believe only one binning job will be active per stockpile at a time.

Shield material is irrelevant for defense, for shield bash attacks density counts and copper is the best of the shield metals for that. If you don't care about shield bash attacks you can use wooden shields and they'll work just fine.

wood? I guess you'e never run into something that could breath fire.
I guess you never did, if you're saying that.

Lays unusual eggs: poo. It shouldn't interfere with reproduction either.

  • Wall the miner in.
  • Have them excavate a layer.
  • Remove the wall.
  • Retrieve candy.
  • Wall in miner.
Only way to be sure. Another option is building a cave-in trap for them, or an upright spear corridor.

Didn't I hear a rumour that Toady was planning to make your dwarves start noticing this sort of thing and get paranoid?
Makes sense he'd add something like that.

Anyway, I remember hearing something about dwarves only marrying those who share their religion, and actually converting those they socialize with.

No, but bits that don't have non-rotting tissue (i.e. cartilage) will degrade to bone eventually. Or so I've heard.

Are you going to let it run on autopilot most of the time while the decades roll by, or mod dwarves to reach maturity faster?

How old was the world? Dragons only reach their real size after 1000 years, though blocking all that dragon fire is a good job.
