DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Bins and Finished Goods

« on: July 28, 2010, 02:34:40 pm »

I noticed a similar bug yesterday. I had a nice furniture stockpile going with lots of bins and barrels, and then at some point, everyone completely using barrels and bins. Had about 20 of each them cluttering up my workshops, 3/4 empty furniture stockpile, tons of single item deposits on my other stockpiles not using bins/barrels. Very weird in that it worked for a long time (3-4 game years) and stopped randomly. I double checked my max bins/barrels on the stockpiles, and they're all set to non-zero. I also tried new stockpiles, and they also only get single items.

On a similar vein, last night I noticed that with NO skills enabled, some dwarfs went to Gather Plants. Bug mayhaps?

Try turning off "cleaning" labor? I've found some hauling is under cleaning.

What's the best way to go about dropping in creatures into the arena floor?

DF Gameplay Questions / Leather Armor Differences

« on: July 26, 2010, 03:45:28 pm »

Looking at the custom embark gear screen, I noticed there's a variety of different priced leather armors. Anyone know what the differences between them are? Examples:

Cow leather armor (x1 price)
Elk leather armor (x2 price)
Leopard leather armor (x3 price)
Giant olm leather armor (x4 price)

I looked in the raws for these creatures, and I didn't see anything about special toughness, maybe it just sells for a higher price?

I thought arrow damage was based on density, not the old bronze->steel->adamantine system?

I've seen this happen too, and my guess is that the dwarf is trying to get to some other really far away silk that has been uncovered, but may not be reachable. What I'd recommend is going to the z->Stocks screen, Forbid all the silk on there, and then manually unForbid the silk pieces nearby. I've not yet tried this, so it may not work.
