You can also install a door in your entrance to the caverns, and lock it when you don't want dwarves down there. My dwarves cancel-spam about inaccessible objects when restricted to the civilian alert burrow, but when I lock the outside doors and turn off the alert, they forget the outside world even exists.

I had this happen once. Kept playing anyway to give it a shot; eventually I got frustrated after yet another promising militia dwarf was hamstrung and removed the low boots entry from the entity raw file.

Glassmaker gets fey mood, and we have no sand.

We've already dug his grave, and locked the room where the Glass furnace is. First Mood of the year, I should add. First mood, and we can't get anything from it. With the Werechameleon attack a few months earlier, I'm gonna take that as a bad omen.

Probably too late to matter for this dorf, but all the glass moods I've seen wanted raw glass as the first component. It's super cheap to buy from traders and you could probably even bring a few on embark. The game counts it as a gem for storage purposes.

I've had some truly ridiculous names come up while playing, but my favorite was the goblin group that swore I'd rue the day I met "the Wet Babies."

For background, my modding experience is rather limited. I do things purely for my own enjoyment, so it's mostly been mucking about with plants - adding booze tags (because I like growing dimple cups but don't like having a dye industry) and in some cases, adding entirely new plants (pumpkins, wild grapes). Now I am trying something new: adding in a creature that dwarves can keep as pets, shamelessly yanked from a book world I enjoy.

These pets, firelizards, are essentially miniature dragons with skin instead of scales. I am using them as an alternative to cats for pets and vermin control, because the idea of tiny little dragons flitting about just pleases me. I've managed to work out how the castes function, so I even have them in their rigid "color determines gender and size". But there is one BIG problem I have run into. In the canon, these creatures vanish upon death, leaving no corpse. Yet the civilizations of my world are wearing firelizard skin clothes and trading firelizard meat and organs.

I have given them the [REMOVE_MATERIAL:LEATHER] under the [BODY DETAIL PLAN:STANDARD MATERIALS], as well as the [NOT_BUTCHERABLE] tag. Is there something else I can do to fix this? Is there a way to make there just BE no corpse?

((Also how on earth did firelizard skin become a viable material for making chests?))

The confinement to Silversands was too much for the diplomat to handle; before the seige broke, his mind did. He is currently naked, save for a cloak, with over 8 combat log pages of leaping off a small hill.

I am sending a missive to the Mountainhomes requesting they limit superhero comic publications.

I was using garbage dump designations to separate useable clothes and trade goods after a goblin invasion, into piles of silk/wool, plant fiber/wood, and metal. During the process, one of my water source zones somehow was activated as a garbage dump.

My well is now full of large clothes and polluted with troll blood. :T
