After I captured the dragon, which I was beyond happy (Now I need to plot what to do with it exactly. I'm no sure. Can I train said dragon to help me?), I moved its cage from outside to inside, and once I began to get that message, I saved and quit, and proceeding to post the problem here.

Oh, fff. I was forgetting the lye completely ~_~

Which stockpile can store lye?

Would you need to assign a dwarf to give another dwarf a gift, or would they automatically steal from a stockpile? If they steal from a stockpile, how would you control how much they take? And wouldn't mass producing rings/etc become the ultimate way to make your population happy?

Something like a high priest would be neat. Possibly they can be used to help make certain areas ghost free. It'd be neat to have your main fortress clear of ghosts, but have certain underground levels where ghosts stalk the halls. That way, you could incorporate ghosts to make some spooky and haunted areas of your fort.

Current Situation: When in the trade menu, there's an option to purchase entire bins of cloth, or only a few pieces from said bin.  If you select the entire bin, then a T is placed by 'Cloth Bin'. If you select any individual pieces of cloth, then separate T's are placed by them. This will automatically cancel the T by the main heading of 'Cloth Bin'.

Ex: Purchasing an entire bin. (You get all cloth in said bin)

Cloth Bin T

Ex: Purchasing individual cloth. (You get only some of the cloth, pieces you want)

Problem: If you decide to purchase an entire cloth bin, then a T is placed by its name, but no T appears by the cloth that'll be traded with it.

Suggestion: If you decide to purchase an entire bin, then T's will automatically be placed by all the cloth that is included in the bin.

Ex: You purchase an entire bin of cloth.

Cloth Bin T

Reasoning: Although not a game changing suggestion, it's subtle and nice addition. It's allows me to quickly flip through the pages and see all what I'm getting at a quick glance. Instead of having to pause to see if I did or did not trade for that cloth (although to figure out I've already selected to trade for it, but picked to buy them all by trading for the whole bin), it lets me know what I'm trading for exactly.

This could apply to anything else that uses bins where you can buy the whole bin with its items, or individuals items from the bin.

How do I enable auto saving? I've read it's meant to be in the .init, but I don't see it.

Thanks!

Me! I shall claim the first home. Also, these homes, will they be equipped with foods/drinks/etc?

Crutches already exist in-game to allow dwarves to move around, even with a missing leg.
