however, once you have 40,000 dorfbucks worth in a room then every room designated within it will be legendary.

I have an office suite setup, bunch of chairs and tables for various nobles/admin types to have offices and dining rooms, just slap an artifact in the corner

also remember that you can remelt metal forged objects like armor/weapons and metal furnitures.  this means that as you gain access to better metals/alloys you can upgrade and recycle.  It also allows you to train up your smiths by churning out gear, your soldiers constantly upgrade based on value of the piece and the rest can fall back to the forges:)

also, undo

Heh, I cant help but feel kobolds got a stealth nerf somewhere recently...from previous versions im well used to thieves that surprise a hauler or fisherdorf getting a stab or 2 in with their dagger, sometimes even fatally due to no armor on said dwarves and daggers small contact area.

In my current .18 fort I have 2 rabbit pups (genesis) tethered as watch/bait and they just killed a kobold thief using their 'push' attacks, they took no wounds.

(kobold dodged the very first shot and hit the wall of my moat taking a stun, 2 pups then 'pushed' him to death over 12 pages)

figured, since its all imported im gonna stud it with copper and flog it to a caravan.

wouldnt have minded much but i have a crappy no quality cobalt cap with a green diamond design and it seems a shame (genesis mod for the cobalt)

Yeah its fairly common to have a magma pipe extend partway to the surface.  Not sure which version this arrived in.

Having it run all the way to the first is a bonus, i usually find these 'failed' volcanos down by #3.

My turn:

How much water is needed to form ice?  will 1/7 form a full block like 7/7?
How much magma do I have to drop water on to form an obsidian tile?  same deal...1/7 work?

Demantiae:

I think what you saw was probably a composite screenshot, showing the layers of two biomes side by side.

Perhaps you saw it recently in the community games section?  (Think i saw it too)

getting the dwarves to actually spar seems tricky.  sometimes it works perfectly, sometimes not.  i generally use small squads of about 4-5 dwarves, set to train with 1 less than number of members.  I have 4 such squads all in a single barracks, the barracks must be designated from an armor stand not a bed.  barracks designated from beds will only be used for sleeping.

Generally i only have 1 pair from any given squad sparring at a time, though i understand you can get multiple pairs
