Ya, megabeasts will semi-frequently show up on the verge of death- they've been running around fighting stuff four hundreds of years :-\

On my most recent fort I got my carpenter bearspider-paralyzed  :'(

Ah, yes apparently Europeans have the vice versa blindness Americans tend to have towards European topography. ;)
I may have misjudged the distances between Silverdale and Seattle... it looked to be less than 50 KM.
(I also judged US citizens to be more mobile than their European counterparts, but lacking car and public transport, your can hardly be called mobile ;) )
edit: actually, I figured Silverdale to be a suburb of Seattle complete with infrastructure.
Well, to give you some idea- I'm on the low end of daily driving with about a 13km route away from my house, though I should emphasize driving as I then ride public transit for something like 30km over to the city and a little less than another 10km over to where I'm getting a higher education. Most people look at me like I'm very unfortunate to have a commute of that length.

About the furthest I go opposite the city is about another 30km to where my sister lives, which is the next biggest city. If the space between wasn't so much marsh and other undesirable building area I'd probably have a range about the same size as Seattle.

I got the error without ctr alt delete closing of the game. Only thing I can think of is that I had two copies of the game running and had them both save at the same time (was about to restart the computer.)

None of those things should be a problem. Do you have this issue on other maps?

You designate it off of the i menu and stairs are not available for sand collection.

You can set some values in init to make children populations more reasonable.

You know what? I think I just had a creature climb up and through a fortification against the flow of water -_-;

Was there a question in that somewhere?

For falling fluids just picture 7/7 like a sheet of ice that any further fluid can glide around on. Now, if a new unit of fluid falls on that and it can glide over to an open edge you'll get overflow.
If it has to go under a wall to get to such an edge then you're safe- it won't go down under the wall and then back up.

Though that's exactly what it WILL do if you've got a pump running.
*if you know how the program does it that's a lie but for conceptual purposes it's close enough.

Maybe he's wondering because he couldn't get it to work with a soil layer?

I got training them in hammer use out of my head when I heard about the bug that made them spar with crossbows instead of ever shooting.

Anyone know what versions that's present in?

Pumps make fluid flow pretty quick so with magma the limit is how quick you can get it out of the pipe.

This is the main reason people try to drain them- so that they can construct an overhang into the middle or so where their pump(s) will basically always have input.
But for the size of tower you probably want I'd say just try to stick the first pump on a narrow level of the pipe as close as you can get it.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: The Dwarf That Wouldn't Spar
« on: April 25, 2009, 12:04:20 pm »
Wounded dwarves won't spar and nervous injuries never fully heal.

The other use for them you hear a lot is putting them into the fortress guard so they can't turn into champions that hand out deadly beatings on the criminals of your fort.

If you're ok doing it level by level you can mark the top as down stairs and let them carve those out which will show you the walls right below and every level after that you can use up-down stairs until the whole thing is an ugly mass of stairs-

but after that they can channel out the top level without any micromanagement and you can channel out level after level.

I used multiple rows of fortifications in hopes of not having things practically stream through but it didn't make a difference.
