Bay 12 Games Forum

I tried both - neither had it.
I'm also unable to craft high boots.

So, the problem that I always face is desire to obtain acquire object / be extravagant.
AFAIK you can designate 2 empty stockpiles of trinkets and junk and host a biannual haulfest.
Now, I'm really new to minecarts and how they work.
Can I add a minetrack between 2 stockpiles: will dwarves be able to grab items they like when they take it to the cart?
Any other happiness increasing suggestions are welcomed!

My first shot at an obsidian farm has hit a snag.
I have dug out all obsidian and designated it for dumping to a dumping site.
Now I cannot access it: there's a huge pile of different stone in 1 square but no one uses it.
I've removed dumping designation, removed forbidden designation, replaced dumping stockpile with an obsidian storage one.
Did I do something wrong and how can I make obsidian be seen & used by my guys?

How can I know if it is indoors or outdoors (apart from the obvious)?
Can I change outdoors into outdoors and otherwise?
I'm mostly interested in windmills (can I make them work underground) and farmplots (can I plant cave plants outside and regular plants in the caves).

I'm assuming you have the Premium version, because in older ones the info is readily available.

Why would you assume that? The free version of the game is exactly the same and also has this issue. Don't think people have ever needed to qualify that they update their game on time when posting in this forum.

I got on the steam train because I'm too lazy:D
But i don't think that these versions differ too much, right?

I haven't checked it in game, but can't you inspect items on the ground?

Might want to avoid multi-use rooms, as it impacts the value of those rooms. While the zones can overlap, when figuring room quality, the stuff is not double-counted.

eh depends on how many zones you're stacking, 2 zones? that's a bit of a waste, because the value of every tile is roughly halved even if it's just ONE tile overlapping, 32 different temples? that's just efficient because the value is only halved once total.

They don't overlap.
E.g. in one big hall I have a prison ward: sherif's office, his dining hall and 3 cells. They don't overlap but there're no walls/doors between them.

When placing bedroom zones, is it still true that unassigned bedrooms will be automatically claimed by dwarves or do you have to manually assign them?  I designated a few and left them for a while, which nobody claimed.  Maybe I didn't let it run long enough before manually assigning them.

I think they do.
I usually make a room, put a bed and a coffer inside, stick a door, make a zone and let the lil guy sort it all out themselves.
