Supports holding up a section of otherwise unsupported flooring works well too. They knock down the support and get crushed.

"Cloth...thread" doesn't mean cloth.



If moods are giving you a very hard time, try checking the wiki page on moods.

I'm playing a fort on .12, no baron yet, though I may have missed the offer. Those screens always seem to come up right as I'm doing something else, so I end up hitting a key to select an object and instead close the conversation screen.

There's a workaround discussed on the Talk page of Obsidian on the DF wiki.

http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/DF2010_Talk:Obsidian

what happens is that obsidian is just not being listed in the "economic stone" menu. If it is a layer in your starting location, it will be allowed for construction (green), if it is not a layer, it won't be allowed (red). Since it is not listed, you cannot switch between these two states. To allow obsidian to be listed, you have to remove its "max edge" tag from the raws. You can add it back after switching, and the game will remember its "cannot use" status.

Thanks folks, glad you like it.   I wasn't sure where I was going with it at first but it's coming along nicely.

How do you think I should "top it off" ?

Post an example pic if you come across one, I found lots of neat ideas on google images searching for "office building"  But I am interested to hear your suggestions.

Ok I had to cut 5 wood for a mood, underground wood but it still counted against my quota. I turned the unused wood into bolts, so no wood in any stockpiles anywhere and 5 out of 106 cut. Elf liaison still complained about our massive woodcutting industry and required me to limit my wholesale slaughter to 120 trees next year. I did buy a bunch of wood from the caravans and turned it into things like ash and bolts. I'll try not buying any caravan wood next. But for someone who is bending over backwards to reign in the wood use, these elves are still awfully pissy...

I'm not trading them wood, and I'm not even cutting underground trees from my tree farm or the caverns. I was only a little curious at first but now I am testing it hardcore. This year I have 0 wood in my stockpiles and no wood cut all year, and spring is about to arrive, if that doesn't work next year I won't buy or cut any wood at all, then see what they say. I can trade with them fine, they just demand tree limits.
