I have stacks of dwarven syrup roasts that say you are wrong.  The first ingredient must be solid, but after that the cook will take the closest ingredient whether or not it is liquid.  Surround your kitchen with a stockpile that only takes dwarven syrup barrels (and make sure that there aren't any stockpiles elsewhere that take them) and you will produce plenty of dwarven syrup roasts without any further micromanagement.

I've tried that, and my cook will still walk miles to the farthest stockpile to grab solid ingredients. What gives?

We adjust it all the time to improve framerate and to prevent useless migrants from coming. Nothing is wrong with that.

100-150 should be the most common settings. I've played with 300, but that was too much...

I generate a world, and then (again, new guy, not wanting too much non-standard stuff) I do a search for a site with no aquifer, yes flux stone, and mult. metals both shallow and deep (n/a for all other settings). The machine runs happily, then displays the results - and I notice that frequently sites it shows as positive results don't actualy meet the criteria, even after looking at al possible spots in the given sector square. Is this a bug, or is it giving false positive for another reason, or is it as simple as the search site function doesn't work like I think it does?

For example - last search, it shows a positive result for the above settings (a green square on the large map), so I run over there to look at that map sector. A quick check, running my 3x3 embark spot over every possible square allowed on that spot (that shows as a positive search result) shows no flux anywhere at all. So how is this a positive result?

The search does not display everything that is present on the site, only some of the features.

I'm going to shamelessly bump this, as I've been thinking about very similar calculations and this seems to be the most informative topic on food growing

Legendary plus planters will get crop of [5] almost always.

Has anyone else been !!testing!! this? Because my results are a bit different

Based on my observations, my suspicion is that Farming works similarly to crafting professions, in that the stack size is treated like quality of an item. A tile of a farming plot produces a stack of 5 pretty much as often as other crafters produce masterful crafts.

Stacks of 5 are actually very rare, unless you produce so much food that they seem like a lot. I find that on average, every farm tile produces a stack of 3 plants.

That's with a Legendary+5 Grower, with no fertilizing. Any thoughts?

Make them crew two rows of ballistas that face each other and see which team wins.

Best suggestion so far 

Imagine that fist punching you in DA FAHCE D:

Especially if you are the horse that is depicted on it 

I had a similar idea, only for a sort of a "multiplayer" game, where two players could in turns control a half of the map each. In the end, they send their military at each other.

Then I tested it and found out that the military can't attack dwarves 

Do any enemies
dig to reach your fort?

Oh my god, I just realized what's missing from this game
