DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Wood blocks - any point?
« on: June 26, 2012, 03:03:59 pm »
Blocks are just construction material. Building constructions with blocks is faster than with logs. Blocks are lighter than logs. Depending on your workflow and where you're building this can thus be faster. This is most useful when piercing aquifers.
Logs only form one block per log, unlike boulders.

1. I think there's already a dwarven city there, so you need embark anywhere to overlap with the existing one.
2. Presumably so huge because they want it to be the mountainhome from day 1, effectively. Those big cities are usually quite large. In theory they could start at 3x3 or 4x4 then just abandon and re-embark every few years to enlarge the area, but meh.
Did I get that right?

That sentence should be parsed as any one of A, B or C where, A is "a single piece of wood or stone at a craftsdwarf's workshop," B is "a single bag of sand (and optional crystal/pearlash) at a glass furnace or magma glass furnace," and C is "a single bar of metal at a metalsmith's forge or magma forge."

Well, in vanilla, no. You could create a custom reaction that took some number of bars and made a full suit as a result.

Toady has had that exploit on the todo list. Off the top of my head I'm not sure if it's supposed to happen in some later release or if it has already been fixed in 34.11 or earlier though.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Would you eat this?
« on: June 22, 2012, 09:41:58 am »For that matter, you could easily have stated that PIG meat frequently contains parasites that are harmful to humans. Trichonella anyone? That's why we cook it.Actually, commercial pork for consumption in the US is almost entirely devoid of trichinella -- the industry actually took steps to prevent it. Wild game meat, including non-boar sources are much more likely to contain trichinella. Recently there has been a push among chefs to promote properly cooked pork (as in, cooked for flavor as opposed to cooked to kill off trichinella) since pork can be /even more tasty./
tl;dr: Commercial pork is almost entirely trichinella-free. You are more likely to die of salmonella than trichinella in the US.

« on: June 22, 2012, 09:33:25 am »restricted travel ... Yes I have a meeting area painted over top of the [w]hole area, but wouldn't you think.. he would respect the restriction none the less.Travel designations change the cost of entering a tile when pathfinding, possibly making other paths more favorable. They do not change whether dwarves will choose to stand there or not.
