And I have a one-tile wide bridge acting as a gate in my fortress at this very moment, verifiably preventing creatures from walking past.  You are probably doing something wrong, or trying to raise it with a creature that's too large in the way.

Build a statue or other impassible object on the tile to the left of the tile you're trying to deconstruct?

You can't target creatures that belong to your fortress.  And if you somehow did manage to convince your marksdwarves to do so, you'd probably trigger a loyalty cascade.  You'll need to catch some wild animals and use those instead.

Without the CHILD tag, a creature will never reproduce.  Dragons will lay eggs, but the eggs will never hatch.

In theory, it should be possible to breed dragons if you modify them to have the CHILD tag.

Rocs do have the CHILD tag, so it should theoretically be possible to breed them.

IIRC, because dragons are randomly generated it's impossible to have both a male and female of the same kind.

Dragons aren't randomly generated, they're defined in the raws.  You're thinking of forgotten beasts.

Ok, I've updated the script.  It's still really outdated, but it should work with the current version.

Freezing deconstructs anything.  Waterfalls of happiness are best made underground.

Just out of curiosity, what are my dwarf's stats in things?

Could I have a look at my dwarfs thoughts and kill list?

I'd like to see Corai's stats and relationships.

I'd like to ask the same, Sphalerite, if you don't mind.

While we're at it, could I please see my dwarf's equipment list for his brave voyage into the caverns? I'm assuming full leather, and a weapon of choice.

I'll have to apologize to everyone for not having the time to actually do much with the fortress at the moment.  This week had been and continues to be very busy with family and social obligations, so I may not actually be able to do anything but very minor updates until this weekend.

Events of Malachite, year 56

Saint Iridkonos, Monk Errant, had produced a very strange instrument.


It bore images of both of the rulers of the dwarven civilization where he currently resided, as well as an image of itself, and several darker images which the local dwarves would not recognize.  It would not be a good idea to let anyone else examine it closely.  He would have to put it away somewhere safe and secret.

In her royal quarters, Geb was meeting with the Elven ambassador, if you could call it a meeting.  While this elf wasn't as threatening as the one who had appeared last year, he passed no opportunity to speak down to the dwarves.


Sneering at how the dwarves 'embraced the mud' - Ha, as if there was a speck of mud in Geb's quarters!  Still, there wasn't much point in arguing with the elf's demands.  There weren't even a hundred trees left uncut on the surface.


Deeper underground Athra had finally finished digging out the space for his personal, self-made quarters.


It had taken a lot longer than he'd originally estimated, and he'd hit an unexpected vein of cassiterite while digging.  He'd sneak those nuggets down to the smelter ore stockpile later.

Now, he needed privacy.  A few stone doors to close off the passage to the stairs, and to close off the rooms from each other.


Meanwhile, the dwarf who called himself only 'Boss Man' was marveling at the convenience of the hospital layout.  He could fish out of the aquifer, and keep an eye on the patients at the same time!


Now, he was pretty sure he'd seen a turtle under the well.  Just a little longer and he'd have it.
