If only necro910 were still around on the forums I think he might finally have found his calling

Update:  It is not only panicking dwarves that will open locked doors, but dwarves in general.  If a burrow does not restrict them they will simply march through a locked door.

Wait? You serious? Dwarf's don't do that, that's the whole point of locking a door, you did actually lock them right?

Unless "Forbidding" a Door AND setting it to "No Animals" isn't locking it I don't know what is.  (l) is (l)ocking is it not?  Unless I'm completely retarded now...

*facepalm* Peregarrett gave you good info at least

Where is the the lever that controls the drawbridge?  If I could just open that It'd already help immensely.

I can't remember making one in all honesty, I don't think it's ever been opened, you only need 4 stones to make a new one though:

1 for a mechanic workshop, 3 for mechanisms, 1 mech for the lever and 2 mech's for linkage

If it hadn't been made the bridge wouldn't be raised.  Thus there's a lever and I need to find it.

Eh, my bad, but either way I think you missed my primary point, make another lever.

I'd really rather not.  That'll make life absurdly confusing in the longrun.  I'd much rather just pull every lever around and see what they do

It's a personality test! See, I without fail would chose the option of de-constructing every lever and then building new ones as they were needed, using trial and error would never have occurred to me.

The man in the moon and the face on mars. These are both the result of a psychological phenomenon known as pareidolia, which involves the brain trying to perceive random signals as significant. It’s one of the brain’s face detection mechanisms, and causes us to see faces where they don’t actually exist — the Virgin Mary’s face on toast, for example.

Programmer Phil McCarthy decided to play around with the idea of paredoila in artificial intelligence, and created a program called pareidoloop. It uses face detection algorithms to “see” human faces in randomly generated polygons.

The program is quite simple: it generates random polygons until the face detection algorithm (the kind cameras use to spot people in pictures) says that there’s a face in the image. This resulting image is then continuously mutated to constantly increase the face detections “confidence” (i.e. how certain it is that there’s a face in the image).

From the collage at the top of this post created by running the program for a few minutes, we can see that this system is pretty good at randomly generating patterns that look eerily like faces.

If you’re interested in playing around with the program yourself, the demo is online in the form of a simple web app.

Axe? First we need to knap a sharp stone, then thresh a branch into thick thread and then tie the head to another branch using the string, sounds kinda complicated, go for it.

I don't know how it happened but the zombies I had previously had locked in a room somehow got out and now all hell is breaking loose.  Thoughts?

Try being observant? *shrugs*
