Perhaps it's some sort of reverse Dwarven hot potato...whichever settlement ends up with Mosus when the timer goes off, wins a prize!

hahaha Dwarf fortress never disappoints.i suppose a temporary fix would be to have car wash mists outside the taverns.

I saw mention in another thread of 'banisters' being something that we can build now...if that's the case, then we should be able to place multiple waterfalls at strategic locations within the taverns, so that the mist keeps the floors clean (or at least dilutes the spilled alcohol), with the banisters keeping drunken revelers from falling in.

We've currently got several pounds of raw pig fat in the freezer (a friend raises pigs and sold us half of one last year).  My wife periodically thaws some out and renders it into lard...it is indeed a seriously tasty comestible, and makes for the best biscuits you've ever tasted.

On a related note: bacon fat, saved off into a jar and solidified, beats butter nine ways to Sunday as a topping for toast.

Ask, and thou shalt receive...as that's a new feature in 40.24.

Hey, is there a list which above ground plants currently work and which are bugged?

There's a listing on the Wiki, but I'm not sure how complete and accurate it is...

I'm having a slightly different problem; I can't get my Miners to stop hauling and start mining.

If they are already mining, they will happily continue until they've mined out all designated areas, but if they find themselves idle and start hauling, and then I designate more areas for mining, they will ignore their primary job until every last horse bone scepter, granite mechanism, and pond turtle shell has been dragged to its appointed stockpile.  It doesn't seem to matter whether I set the mining job to priority 7 or priority 1; any hauling job seems to take precedence over every mining job...but only if the Miner in question is already hauling when the new mining job is designated.  The same goes for my Woodcutter...and I think for my Engraver, though I'm not certain on the latter (but I assume the same logic would be used for all three jobs, since they're all prioritized now).

It's easy enough to work around the problem by disabling hauling for my Miners, but I'd rather not have to go to that level of micro-management...

I've seen some discussion on other threads concerning the amount of time it takes for the new multitile trees to regrow.  As far as I can tell, nobody has an answer to the question as yet; if trees regrow in a year or so, then this is a problem from a balance perspective, but if it takes 10 years for new trees to appear then I don't think it's game-breaking.  Hopefully the way it works is the latter...that way, you wind up with a lot more wood up front, but if you clearcut your map then you have no more logs  for a long, long time.  And over a number of years, the total number of logs you can harvest would probably turn out roughly the same as in earlier versions.

Time for some !SCIENCE!
