Hi evryone, I am new. I have been playing DF for a while now and I daresay that I have made some nice progress up the learning cliff, but there are some things I wonder about and cant figure out even after reading the wiki:
1. Is there a way to automate production without micromanaging the workshops all the time?
2. how do I make my military dwarves equip and use the weapons and armor I want them to? It seems to be random if my best shooter takes the wooden crossbow, or the steel one or if he goes wrestling. Yes I have not done a lot withthe military so far...
3. A more of a practical problem I am having with my current map: I have a brook, bottomless pit and lava vent. I want to replace the brook water with lava, so I want to divert the brook into the pit. How do I make sure all the water goes where I want, it seems if I just dig a 4 wide channel not all the water goes into it and I cant figure out how to build a sort of dam in the brook
