it looks like

raw fish -fishcleaning-> fish
fish -eating-> bones/shells
fish -cooking-> maybe bones/shells sometimes

remember seeing a thread on something like this before..

maybe like butchery, fish cleaning should give the bones/shells + the meat? rather than until the eating?

granted it can a bit hard to remove all the bones.. and granted certain shells are used as decoration of the dish/etc.. but similar thing applies to animal bones (well.. not the hard to remove part.. but there are ribs type thing)

of course.. i've not seen the dwarves eat those cooked meals yet... for all i know they'll be spitting bones and shells everywhere

i don't know if i want to cry or laugh.. i got so many shells now (mainly because i didn't use any!) that my dedicated shell/bone/skull pile is full!... none has disappeared so far

guess i better make some shell crafts... unless decorated items are now fixed... (maybe i should try anything but furnitures)

if only they go into bins....

good idea... as long as you don't see them move around in the game... as that'll lag like mad.... having all animals inside 1 single cage is bad enough... don't even mention chaining each animal!

make ranch (for animals) / fish farm as a 6x6 building or something... which doesn't show the animals/fish inside graphically.. (can see them under "t").. i mean that's the only way i think it'll work for things not to be shown graphically

say there's a limit to the number of fish/animals (maybe young/old respectively... say 10 each or whatever) possible inside each farm... use the animal care skill... etc

i'm thinking that you'll bring a lot of forbidden stuff to the depot...

do you get hammered before you sell them?

benefit? it allows you to dictate where you site the forge/workshop.. that's about it. as for hostiles moving up... it'll be the same wherever the water/lava gets dumped to (or even not dumped).. be it the different branch of the source or the chasm (aside from there being 2 entrance points rather than just the 1.. if there's no exit at all)

sure.. you can sic a fortified section on one side of the channel and shoot the things (if they do die from bolts, never done it yet) but that's a somewhat separate issue..

useful... i name all mine according to job.. so  it's mason I, mason II.... etc.. for now..

or in your case.. III VII I

... can get rather long..

saves me making the mistake of detailing floor hidden beneath piles/whatnot...

unless it's possible to deface a masterpiece smooth floor.. if such a thing exists. which is the main thing that having 2 layers of functions will prevent.

i suppose... the engraving function (ie.. 2nd layer of detail) can be assigned to any floor/wall... and that'll either take longer... or auto queue both smoothing and the engraving.
