Fum, fum, fum.

What, giant granite granola and orthoclace orange juice? Sylvite-side up eggs and bauxite bacon on the side? Maybe some Honey Nut Chertios in marble milk?
...I am now hungry for some reason.

What is IRC?

GTA?

You awake, feeling refreshed and cheerful. Britney, the second oldest of the seven siblings at 23, has prepared a lovely breakfast. To make you feel even better, when you mention your plans, she and Christiana (21 and the younger of two twins by 25 minutes) offer to go into town for you. It would make sense--how long could your good luck of evading the cops last?
You decide to chat with the other five before going to work. Ashley, 25, was originally planning to major in biology, specifically genetics, before deciding to go into finance after two and a a half years due to the job market. She guesses she could make around $50 a week more if you let her fiddle around with your finances, but she'd charge a fee of 10% and couldn't guarantee anything--it could be a loss, although probably not much, and it could be as much as over $100 on luckier weeks. Caroline, the older of the twins, is good at gardening and soccer, and suggests a garden to cut down a bit on food expenses and such. Gertrude, 17, is in her last year of high school and loves to write. Fred, the brother aged 19, isn't much for housework but has skill in martial arts and doesn't mind hard work, so you decide to make him an assistant/bodyguard until you find someone better. Elpis, 20, is into psychology and loves animals.
You decide to work on the platform with Fred's help while Jim finishes up the woodbot. [6+1] It is a smashing success, but time flies too fast and you sit down for a late lunch around 2, exhausted. By this time, Christiana has hooked up the internet, which will cost $20 per month. Oh, and the woodbot's finished. Its right arm incorporates a clamp and a hammer, as well as a nail gun and dispenser, while the left is part drill, part screwdriver, part clamp, and useable as an improvised weapon. It has two humanoid legs with big feet and a note attached to the back reading "Put saw-arm here." Jim explains that he forgot to ask for a saw.

Well, you've got new employees, a woodbot, and a request for a  saw. What will you do this afternoon?
Note: Your exhaustion will give a -1 to rolls about various sorts of physical work.

'DF Gameplay Questions' doesn't necessarily just mean dwarf mode.

Anyway, most of the tools seen in Dwarf Mode do each have a use, but you shouldn't see things like mortars and boning knives. Carving knives are in dwarf mode, I believe, but not the other knives.

I thougght it was one of the Dwarf Mode Discussion threads I had open, and he specifically noted that the knives and mortars are the ones he was speaking of. I have never seen a carving knife in Fortress Mode.
