Or, to put it bluntly: I wanna see how much pain Urist McCrashTestDummy can handle.

I like this one. Can we keep him?

Provided you have access to a stove-top (I do not know your living conditions), you're probably better off just buying a wide pot. I had a rice cooker for a while, but it started going strange and not cooking the rice thoroughly. Not that it really ever did a good job on the first place.

Rice on the stove is easy. Pour the desired amount of rice into the pot, turn up the heat. The rice will brown a little this way, give it some more flavor. Once some of the rice is toasty, pour in the water. It just hiss and steam, if the rice is at the right temp. From there, follow the rice's cooking direction.

I should point out, I use brown basmati, so different types of rice might need different amounts of toasting.

I managed to get a flux metal some time ago to smelt and make copper.

You don't need flux stone to make copper; flux is only used in the production of steel.  For all other native metals (silver, iron, gold, platinum, etc) you just smelt the ore directly into bars at a smelting workshop using fuel (charcoal or coke).

Or magma. Magma smelters are nice too.

My useless migrants tend to become masons. I don't make them engravers because that task usually gets done fairly quickly, and I don't like to micromanage workers in an attempt to keep dabbling engravers from making a three sided square. This happens less now though, as I'm making more use of spinners, threshers, and other 'useless' jobs, now that I know what they're good for.

I've yet to actually complete one, but in my current and two previous forts, I was using them to make a Chicken Little Device. This one I'm using blocks instead of raw stone.

Quick off-topic, can Constructions built with blocks be engraved? I was never able to previously, but I'm guessing that's because I was using rough stone...

all my extra dwarves have Masonry & Stone detailing activated. They all go for a megaproject.

Or, alteratively, i engrave *insert triumphant pose here* THE WHOLE F*****G MAP!!!!!!!!

Oh hells yes to this. The art section in Legends would be insane.

Sensible. I support this idea.

When I discovered we had wounded and no chief medical dwarf, I assigned my own dwarf to the position. When the year ended, I took him off.

Not that it did a lot of good. *sigh*

I like the idea of a seperate building for stockpiling materials.

Makes sense to me.
