Have you tried giving them wood or wood by-products (not all are rumored to work)?

Some buildings have two quality scores: design and construction. The architecture skill of the designer gives the first. The appropriate construction skill of the builder gives the second (mason, carpenter, etc).

« on: October 11, 2010, 10:50:34 pm »http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/older_versions.html31.14 and up have changed the way world gen works. entity populations, sprawl, etc. Generate it in 31.12 or 13 and move the file.
Do 31.12 worlds still work in 31.16?
If yes, above, how can I acquire a copy of 31.12?
Just copy the save over.

Ice melts. If the magma then touches water.... Constructed ice will never melt.

Look through the "metal blocks" section. Blocks can only be used for contructions, and they have higher value than most raw material.

yes. IIRC the values of each item in the well (of which there are four) are multiplied together to get the wells value. So if you had a well made of adamantite rope, adamantite blocks, adamantite buckets, and adamantite mechanisms, all masterfully built, then a legendary architect designs it and a legendary mason builds it, any dwarf who passes it will probably shit their pants and go blind from the sheer joy of seeing it.
Don't forget the bucket AND mechanisms can also be masterfully decorated with every kind of bone, horn, metal and gem known to dwarfkind.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: And broken arrows for all!!!
« on: October 11, 2010, 08:42:11 pm »This is only slightly related, but if you channel the tiles adjacent to walls, then remove the ramps, the arrows that hit the wall will fall intact, and can be collected and fired again.Good for practice ranges, but not hunting. Highly recommended for training balistas.

Likely another of your dwarves. As they socialize, they can make frends and enemies. Even far enough to get married.

« on: October 11, 2010, 07:43:44 pm »
I've seen plenty with rather minimal cliffs, or flat land in a 2x2 embark area. Or volcanoes whose magma surface is one level below the main land surface.

« on: October 11, 2010, 07:24:30 pm »One of my old problems: It took forever for doors etc. to show up on my build menu, even though I had plenty of them just made and sitting in the workshop.Alternate solution: don't stockpile doors.
Solution: They were already claimed, tasked to be moved to a stockpile. Forbid and unforbid, and they show up on the build menu.
Also worth mentioning the same thing can happen with food...
