you can also make a macro, recording all the keypresses you need to forge a complete set of armor, and play it every time you want one

a well allows only one dwarf to drink at a time. Since it's not booze, they're slowing down. At some point they'll be drinking super slow and others will die of dehydration waiting for their turn. Get Booze!

I thought they only took one for each body part, so either skirt, trousers or loincloth, but not a combination of lower body wear.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Question about trees in channels

Constructed floors, when muddy, also don't allow trees to grow. Roads take less materials (1/3rd compared to same size floors, rounded up), but require an architect to design it first

no, not really, you can't manually trigger cage traps, only to release whatever is inside. What you can do is put a retracting bridge over cage traps and drop them on the cages. This will stun them so they can be caught

cheapest/easiest is to make a dirt road there. It's basically a dwarf going there and stomping on the ground for a bit. It's not a permanent solution, since dirt roads deteriorate back to regular soil after a while (faster in heavy traffic, iirc, but that shouldn't be a problem there)

The dwarf that killed them might have died from injuries for example. I think if it was killed by a dog or something you can also avoid loyalty cascades in this situation, I remember a thread about that, but I'm not sure.

IIrc, trees don't have a floor on the level above them, so the answer would be no, I think. You could build a floor in the moat to prevent trees from growing as they do make things untidy

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Forgotten beast producing fewer bone crossbows than expected
« on: December 19, 2013, 05:39:17 am »
slaughter a puppy or something for a stack of 4 puppy bones and see how many bone crossbows will be made. My guess is 1 after reading this. Sounds like bone reactions use different amounts of bone for different products, similar to metal. Never heard of it before, but I wouldn't be surprised.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Problem with canceled jobs
« on: December 19, 2013, 05:33:45 am »
as said before, try to figure out what is causing the cancelations and fix it (as much as possible in this game). A lot of cancelations means your fort isn't running well, getting rid of just the cancelation messages won't help.
If there are things on the ground where you can't reach them, they generate a lot of cancelations too. You can solve this by (d) (b) (f) and selecting the tile to forbid everything on it

carved L shaped tracks in the ramps (or constructed?) with one leg of the L being in the direction of travel and the other pointing 'up' the ramp, if I see it correctlyBasically, as it travels it bumps into no-track between the two seperate Ls, which the game treats as falling off the track, at which point it 'lands' on the next L, gets the speed boost for landing on the ramp, hits the same problem as before.
Practise making the correct type of ramps for a bit somewhere and launch a test vehicle. The wiki seems clear to me, if you don't understand it I wouldn't know how to explain it otherwise. Over to the next person.
