What do you do with bodies if you have a lot of them? I'm tired of building and wasting space with coffins. Can I just dump them in a pit and fill it with magma?

Message spam! I keep getting "can't put in tomb" because I sealed off the area with a bridge (don't want to get slaughtered burying the dead migrants). Now I got a message spam. I forbid all of the outside bodies, but the message spam is so long! Is there a way to zip through it?

How do I check what my dwarf is doing while he's fighting? I sent my first soldier in full steel armor to take on a squad of goblins. He cut one of them down without taking any damage, but I have no idea where he hit him or if the goblin tried to fight back.

A chest, box, or bag to store his items.

He already has some in his room. It says in the noble menu that all requirements have been met. Does he need one in his tomb, too?

How do I designate a coffin to be used by a specific noble (mayor)? I want to bury him in a golden coffin after he dies.
Place the coffin in an extra room and design a tomb to your dwarf (q over the coffin). When the dwarf dies he will retain all of his thingies, so it is a good idea to place a coffin and coffer in that tomb too.

Coffer? He has a room on a different z-level with everything he needs including golden doors and furniture.

Not anymore when he is dead. ^^

What is a coffer?

What is a good item (preferably renewable) to trade? I'm thinking glass crafts, but perhaps there is something of glass that is more valuable.

Glass Serrated Discs, presumably clear is more valuable than green, but you probably want to get a decent size tree-farm going for that.



The giant trap component? Caravans buy that? I mostly want to use it to trade for steel bars and items since I have no way to make steel on my volcano map (no flux).

Alright, here's some things that've been bugging me since 40d:

What does that little red dashed line next to the goblins mean on the world map screen? 

"At war" I think.

Anyone know when the next version of DF is coming out? Will it be compatible with saves from the current version?

I'm building a 3-room building for my mayor and putting all of the stuff he needs in there. I assigned the bed to him and made a room a bedroom, but why is some miner sleeping in it?

Make sure the stockpile where the lye is stored is set to allow barrels...and many of them. Custom stockpiles sometimes come with 0 bins/barrels allowed in the settings.

Do well materials really make a difference? I built some gold chains, buckets and bars for my next one. Does the mechanism material matter?

As far as I know, a flying unit won't move into a tile with a fortification, either from above, or from the side like any other unit.  Falling creatures will land in the same tile, and if they survive, will move to any valid tile next to them.

Can they move diagonally through z-levels?
