Its worth it to process any ore, the difference between say hematite and process_hematite...
hematite has 4 tries at 1% for 1 orichalcum bar, and 4 irons bars when smelted.
processing the hematite gives you 1 pure hematite, 25% chance for 1 granite boulder, and 3% chance for 1 rock crystal.
smelting the pure hematite gives you 4 tries at 2% for 1 orichalcum bar, 4 tries at 25% for 1 iron bar and 4 iron bars automatic.
basically one step and you easily are increasing your average return rate to 5 iron bars with a possibility of 8 iron bars and increasing your chance of orichalcum.

Thanks, that's a great break down.

I just reintsall Masterwork because I can't figure out how to fix the strange TWBT behaviour.

If I run TWBT successfully with a graphical tileset, then I delete the save and switch to 2D mode with creature sprite turned off, I'm still stuck with a TWBT display, even if I delete the TWBT dll files manually. Only when I turn on creature sprite in 2D mode will I get the correct tileset back, and even then I won't get to see creatures displayed as ASCII because the creature sprite is retrieved elsewhere.

It seems I can't switch back and forth TWBT and 2D as I please.

WWUD if he put that line in a play?

He will publish the play as a book before his fortress is overrun by the circus. Many years later an adventurer will discover the book from the ruins of where its author once thrived.

WWUD as a ghost if he sees his own book being taken away?

Absolutely Comrade! As Rosareven?

Yes please. Glory to Angvir! Glory to the Mountainhome!

Despite popular condescension, the right sub-Reddit community can open you up to more like-minded people going through similar struggles as you do, or a lot more helpful advices. /r/DecidingToBeBetter, /r/KindVoice to name a few, or any /r/[insert hobby name here].

Books are also a good source and you don't have to read the whole thing. Seek the ones that sound like it might have a chapter or a few pages that answer your questions.

However before you do all that, you have to know what questions you have first, which means knowing yourself, as Tiruin said. Fumbling through sources that don't really address your concerns will add more burden to you than lifting it.

I just caught up too. Not only is evictedSaint a fantastic artist for starting this comic, everyone's replies have been hilarious.

I only just started reading this and haven't caught up everything, but after reading the quotes collection, I'm pleasantly surprised that even an attempt at a fort with a perfectly peaceful goal, faces similar madness as Boatmurdered.

I would love to be dwarfed if there is room. I'll take any female dwarf. If I catch up to the entire story in time, I might even give overseer a try, but not confident for now yet, no idea what's going on with the fort now...
