You can build multiple floor/wall tiles at once. After b-C-(w for walls, f for floors), hit u and k to increase the number of wall/floor tiles you're building.

After that toughness-fest, I'll do a kinda easy one.

A goblin steps into the entrance hallway and vanishes in a spray of blue and limbs. What happened?

...can you defeat the legions of Hell with maws of madness and steel spikes, dropping hundred-ton blocks of cooled lava on their heads, and sheer numbers of cheese-, lye-, and soap-makers, build a dinging room in hell, and have your fortress destroyed in a horrible chain-tragedy started by a simple mason who walled himself on the wrong side of Hell...and died of thirst.

Idea? Be your own worst enemy. Say, lock all doors for a year, or build a lever connected to something that if an insane dwarf or marauding gremlin pulled it, the fortress would be partly flooded/collapsed/something/full of angry monsters/else irreversible that would hurt your fortress. Be creative!

It is unexplored, but it stayed that way even after I breached the magma sea next to it when it should have revealed it.
Revealing parts of caverns and magma seas is a bit iffy-weird. That could be normal...for DF.

No idea why DFreveal didn't work, though.

Dear local aligator,
If you want to loiter around here, please be so kind as to eat those four untrained, unarmed, unarmored, should-be-naked-but-they're-ignoring-that dwarves that I sent to attack you. Don't die instead!

Sincerely,
Trying to get rid of several totally useless migrants.

I think my brain has reached its bleach quota for the week, thank you very much.

And it's only Monday. Uh-oh...

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: So what does "Mix food" mean anyway?
« on: September 12, 2011, 06:15:02 am »
I think it means dwarves will put fish, plants, and so forth in the same barrel. Not sure, though. Maybe we should check the wiki.
EDIT: Yup.

What does the workshop/dwarf/whatever say when it says you can't make soap?

Not quite. Glass, especially clear and crystal glass, makes light penetrating through the ground plausible.

DF Suggestions / Re: Designation: Sleeping Quarters
« on: September 11, 2011, 06:11:37 pm »
I was thinking that this would be a place where roomless dwarves would sleep in lieu of a dormitory. Y'know, to stop dwarves from falling asleep in front of giant badgers which just stopped them from hauling that log the rest of the way into the nice, safe fortress?

More likely Norse Mythology's Yggdrasil. Which brings me to a point: I think World Trees should have guardians.

"Ratatosk, Squirrel Guardian
A massive squirrel. It was the only one of its kind. A towering squirrel. It has large ears. Its bushy fur is light brown and it has an austure look about it. Ratatosk was associated with messages, insults, and nature."

The spinning stupidity strikes the lye maker in the intelligence and the severed part flies off in an arc!
Nothing seems to happen!

Or:

The spinning stupidity strikes the lye maker in the intelligence and the severed part flies off in an arc!
The lye maker has drowned.
The Overseer facepalms the Overseer in the head, jamming the skull through the brain and tearing apart the brain!
The Overseer has been knocked unconscious!
The Overseer has been struck down.

Which is better?
