Hey guys i've been playing for a few weeks and am getting the hang of most things I just have a few lingering questions that I hope people can help me answer.

a. Does a Dwarf need the hauling labour associated with the item they're crafting turned on? For example mason needs stone hauling activated.

b. I'm trying to make a customised stockpile especially for the butcher room... 'body parts' and bones, hooves etc are separate categories but does having body parts disabled stop them from stocking bones there? No haulers seem to be filling the butcher stockpile up so maybe someone knows the exact combination of things to enable to have butcher related stuff yet not other refuse, bodies of non butcherable guys etc...

c. Does the DFhack tool that cleans blood have any risks involved or is it safe? Is DFreveal safe to use?

thanks!

Ive been playing Dwarf fortress for a week or so now and I have most things figured out.. Just a few questions about things that still confuse me etc.

1. Do dwarfs have actual health bars? How can I tell if they are injured or not?

2. What does flashing grey dwarf mean? I use ironhand graphics..

3. What is the best way to make a dwarf happy again? Cancel all their jobs and make them stand in the meeting hall and chat?

4. Does overlapping rooms cause any trouble? for example if I have a circle of tables set up as dining room and then a statue in the middle set up as a garden covering all seats... will that cause double whammy happy thoughts?

5. Do 'joyous wilds' make a dwarf Have more happy thoughts? is their any advantage to picking joyous wilds instead of just regular untamed wilds?

6. as of the latest update do I have to worry about a clear path to the trading depot?

thanks and sorry for asking so many in one but I am confident that one good player can smash out all the questions in one go.
