Really? I've never had a problem piping magma to where I need it.

Mind, I've only done it a few times, and that was always from a few Z-levels down, but my current forges are located clear across the map.

I love that Toady made Aluminium hard to find and smelt, too.  Thus, highly valuable.

Heh; Aluminium's almost always the first or second metal I find, usually with copper.

Which is lucky, 'cause I almost lost that smith to his mood, and I'd split his 10 starting skill points between armour and weapon making - hell of a loss, it would have been.

Good name, too; almost coherent, even!

Aye; read that somewhere years back.

Now if only those acursed traders would bring that anvil I keep asking for, my dwarves would have aluminium goblets with which to dine! Well, trade for more booze, but it's the thought that counts!  

EDIT:
As for #4, remember that alot of maps don't have any water, while in other cases, what water you do have will eventually evaporate - especially if you have to turn weather off because your computer's a few years old.

So, if he only demands "rock" for four seconds befor asking for raw crystal glass, then he probably only wants the two bits he has. If it has the demand up for, say, ten seconds, he want three more rock for a total of five.

Tho it's not quite so helpful when they only make one demand, as there's nothing to cycle to, so you've no way of telling how much they want.
