Bay 12 Games Forum

I was randomly browsing the interweb for something, and came across a list with DF mentioned on it.  Having wasted many hours with Angband way back when, I downloaded DF, ran it once, fell off the learning curve and didn't touch it for a while.  Then I read my way through some more reviews and forum posts, gave it another go and was hooked like a carp hooks a dwarf.

I try to use a combination of two things; 1) have a stone stockpile of the appropriate type next to the workshop and 2) have a magma channel designated as a dump.  The mason ought to build most doors out of the correct material, and any doors made of the wrong stuff get marked for dumping in the magma.  It's slightly wasteful and takes slightly longer, but works pretty well in practice.

(edit)  That is of course assuming that there is magma there.  I guess the chasm would also serve, or just an infinite pile dump.
