Dont forget that you can specify ammo on the millitary screen and add a training-only allocation of bone bolts, and set metal bolts to combat only.

There's also a semi-explot that can stop you breaking bolts used in training but if you want to use it i'd ask/search.

My Goose Breeding program has succeeded in producing 7 goslings, along with my peahens and turkeys I have more eggs than my dwarfs can eat (1100+). Considering making Goose the only animal available.

I forbade my stacks of Hill Titan tallow being cooked - Hill Titan Soap for all!

I'd like to think that after an epic battle, the FB finally began to succumb to its wounds and sensing its end, it released a suicidal blast of primoridal toxins.

Too bad for the dwarfs attacking it.

I just found a stack of "111 hill titan meat" in my inventory, glad to see that winged bastard didnt go to waste.

Its very useful if you need items make of Magma safe materials - you can create a stockpile of specific rocks and place them next to the workshop - clear away or forbid rocks around the workshop that are not magma safe. They will grab the nearest rock to make the generic 'rock' thing with and take it from the magma-safe stockpile.
Ofc it would help if you could explicitly declare the rock type as with metals.

Looking at the raws, I saw that maces are twice as big as hammers and have twice the contact area.
I know that the contact area helps to penetrate armor, but what will the size augmentation do? Is it worth the augmentation of the contact area?

Im not familiar with the mechanics fo the game but i would assume that the 2x Size and the same contact area would mean 2x the penetration as the pressure per cm^2 is doubled, but as the contact area is also doubled the pressure and therefore the penetration is the same, except the weapon does more overall damage (due to having more weight). Being twice the size I assume it can be used at half the rate of a hammer?

Don't forget Maces. I had a Macelord with an Artifact silver mace... he kicked ass.

Heavy like a hammer, pointy like a spear. ( at least kind of ). Plus a hammer with spikes on is much more Dwarfy IMO

everbody now...
