DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Planning for early steel production

the order of items is important, mailshirts can't be put over breastplates.  Cloaks are important because they cover missed spots on the neck and head

This is an equipment order that ensures every body part is covered:
Mail shirt
Breastplate
Greaves
high boots[or low]
gauntlets
Helm
cloak
shield
weapon.

the wiki has some research about domestic animals: http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Domestic_animal

I thought goats were good because of the milk, and turkeys are generally regarded as the best or nearly the best domestic egg layer

Rumor is that no water in the caverns means there won't be any underground plants available.

Also to add more layers between the first cavern and the surface just up the LEVELS_ABOVE_LAYER_1 parameter from 5 to something higher. That might give you some more ore, or change mineral scarcity, or change the raws.  I routinely get rid of all nonsoil/nonsand soil layers in the raws
