Meph, I've noticed a bizarre phenomenon where, when a monster recovers from being petrified by a stonebound, it gains super speed! it starts moving easily ten times its normal speed.

    - How tough is their stoneskin? Can it repel weapon attacks if unarmored? How about fire?
    - Does the earthquake attack hit friendlies as well as enemies?
    - Do their special attacks use the magic/science/alchemy skill? Does that skill need to be trained up to be effective?

- As tough as stone armor. So not very good, but together with armor as good as two armors
 - Fire still kills them
 - No friendly fire, enemies only
 - Nope, no skill required.

Thanks Meph! So who benefits from the "train magic skill" in the Hall of the Mountain King? Folks like magmamancers?

I'm having the same experience.  This is the only reference to them I can find in the raws:
       [ARMOR:ITEM_ARMOR_FORCEFIELD] <= runic robe

Would anyone like to interpret?

You are looking in the entity file. That is where the token that allows you to make the runic robe is placed. To find the actual runic robe armor you need to look in the "item_amor_masterwork.txt" file.

But what we're concerned with is the ability to make the runic robe - do we need to change this so it can be made?

The wiki has this to say: "If you have a room underneath your archery range, you can channel the area behind the target to save bolts (falling bolts don't break), but if you completely channel targets out, recruits will stop training as they require a straight walkable path to the target."

Anyone know how to make this work? All the bolts I see fall in front of the target, but if I channel that out the dwarfs stop using it. If I channel behind (as the wiki suggests), nothing happens because no bolts end up there. Thoughts?

Wooden bolts?

I am getting a problem that all of the masterwork workshops are telling me that I do not have material when I do. The vanilla workshops are just fine even using the same materials. I have noticed that non-eco stone and logs are the problem. I think I might have too many options for building material that it bugs the masterwork workshops.

Sorry for reposting but it has gotten to the point to were all the Masterwork workshops are non functioning. Can somebody help?

This seems to be a frequent problem with the MW workshops. No one has figured out why, but the workshops don't see material not on the same z-level. The workaround is easy: just put the orders in through the manager, not directly at the workshop, and they work fine.

I don't know if anyone has covered this, but I was able to appoint my Steel Golem Militia Captain to the Baron position.

I had this happen.  It actually works out fine, because golems don't have emotion, so they never get upset about not having rooms or getting mandates.
