Uh, some work required to be able to grow sunberries and other plants of that nature underground, though. Apparently an area that has ever been revealed to sunlight will never lose it's 'light' tag, but I don't know if you can grow aboveground plants on it.
Yes, after exposing tiles to sunlight they never turn back to DARK. Floor over the top and it turns to INSIDE, but keeps the LIGHT tag, which is what is needed for aboveground crops, so you can safely farm your berries and other surface plants. More sunberries for everyone!

I think we all agree, that it used to exist. I think we're just fuzzy when and why it stopped.
It used to exist, it was mentioned somewhere on these forums, I think it was a discontinued feature, other than what I've said, I don't know anything else :P

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: My Dwarves are taking my adamantine strands to the hospital! How do i stop this?
« on: July 02, 2012, 07:51:02 am »
To get around this problem, try setting up a stockpile for metal thread (this means only adamantine strands will go in this stockpile), link it to your craftsdwarf workshop and set the stockpile to only accept from links, and to take from the craftsdwarf workshop.

If that doesn't work, then go to the hospital and manually dump all the adamantine strands. Reclaim them once the coffers in your hospital zone are completely filled with yarn, silk and/or plant threads. This works much faster, and prevents the adamantine strands from being used for suturing. Do you have any injured dwarves?

See if you can get steel bars or adamantine wafers there as well for surgery

We can rebuild him, we have the technology. He'll be more prone to madness, able to trance longer and quicker to get socks.

You can't lol. The only reason why this is happening is because adamantine thread can be used for suturing, and the dwarves will haul more valuable thread to the hospital first - since adamantine is so valuable, it goes in there first.
Still, I appreciate the bionic dwarf humour :)

Therefore I have begun to generate worlds with 10000 embark points.  I use less than 2000 for normal embarks, but should I decide to ever again try reclaiming I will at least be able to train and equip my seven-Dwarf force and give them a sizeable pack of war dogs.

I've been wondering this one too, I remember reclaiming back in the past and I had like.. fifty dwarves all armed to the teeth in order to clear the invasion that I had succumbed to.
This might actually be bug, now that I think about it. It doesnt seem like Toady to make a change to a feature of the game without it being either on the dev log, or especially in the change log.
I think that was an older version of the game, where the number of dwarves you got was proportional to the amount of wealth of the fortress you were trying to reclaim.

Why do dwarves leave booze lying around at random places, and never pick it up?
Because it's too far to haul back once you're boozed up.

Why can't goblins just get along with dwarves without snatching all the dwarven kids?

Why are unicorns so deadly? Why dont they love and tolerate? -Inb4haters-
Imagine how much pain they're in because of a massive horn growing out of their head. That would certainly influence their outlook on life.

Are ravens ravenous?

How come its never night? ever?
Night certainly happens, it's just too fast for you to notice that night came and went.

What would you use an adamantine pick for besides mining and military miners?

how does quantum entanglement work for dorfs, subatomic particles would always be clogging doors!
Mechanism + mechanic = quantum entangler in progress

Why is everything in food minced, even the liquids?

freakin' levers. how do they work?
Quantum entangled mechanisms which transmit information very, very fast.

I reclaim forts if I think there's half a chance of nursing it back to full strength, or if the fort was awesome and got undone by something retarded - eg forgetting to lock a door when sieges arrive.

Because they are creatures, just like the rest of the living things in DF.

The idea of transformation to a spouse is somewhat strange wording unless we are to assume there is some form of physical transformation that allows for reproduction because of previous inability to generate offspring because of biological incompatibility.
I agree that the wording is somewhat off, although I'd say that you have hit on the correct reason for the wording - in DF, inter-species breeding is forbidden, and thus the only way to get offspring is by transforming the kidnapped victim into a night creature.

Fortress/Interface: New cancel messages
Dwarf cancels Retrieve Wounded: No available hospital bed.
Pretty sure stacking wounded patients on a single hospital bed works for both the doctors and the patients in terms of medical care, so this message wouldn't be needed.

Why do my dwarfs INSIST on getting that one sock lying in a circle of goblins, and not the masterwork ones in my stockpile?
Goblin ichor-anointed socks are infinitely more valuable as bragging rights - it suggests that Urist killed a goblin, and not just Urist dragged a sock through some goblin blood spatters.

How would one go about playing a stringed adamantine instrument?
Use adamantine-sutured fingers.

If dwarves drink booze, why is the act of filling a flask with drinks for patrol duty "Fill Waterskin"?

Sounds more like rape and forced marriage than shotgun marriages, if you ask me. A bit disturbing, but folklore is known to include these sorts of creatures.
