You close them?  Try hooking up and closing them.  Or toggling them.  Also, you sure they are built?  Did they deconstruct or did lazy dorfs not put them in?

Like putting onions on your eyes to excise demons, but instead you eat this 'purified' oval-esk piece of chalk.
Or the imperfect art and study of maintaining, purifying, and repairing the body.

They blend into the cave floors.

Why do low level engravers engrave simple things?
"This is going to be a ballin' dragon!"
"Wait, shit, that arm's totally wrong!"
"Damn! Now there's just a corner!"
"Okay, I can fix this by... fuck."
"IT'S A TRIANGLE, YOU CAN'T TELL ME ANY DIFFERENT"

Are pump operators esteemed members of society due to their rippling muscles and manly job?

They are the heroes of the people, lauded for their practicality and given respect equivalent to human limberjacks or elven flower spritzer or goblin's ogre husbanders.

I admire pumpers for 'volunteering' to do something slaves historically had to do.

Being unable to access the surface because it's covered in aforementioned molten rock.

Will dwarves, humans or elves ever invent lasers?

sorry 'bout cutting you off, my phone can be retarded, what with not loading things properly...

Dwarves have just gotten over the. fear of seeing their reflection in the water(and carp), so focusing light. with shiny mirrors that will force honest cave dwelling dwarfs to throw up is a little much to ask for right now...

How did this necro get ahold of forgotten beast leather for his book "Sizzledgoats is for dwarves"?

Answered your own question.  Its useless, and dorfs are more industrial than that. 

If the world is propogated by spores, why is there no cross-propogation?

Play a fort.  See if they come say hi.

If they do, I would save the world even after I finished using it...

hunters have an obligation and unsatible desire to bag the next 'big(ger) kill' and gobs marksman 1v1 is pretty impressive.

Burrows are like modern governments restrictions.  No drugs becomes no drugs if you can't avoid detection, and no tresspassing means 'fun stuff past this line'

in short you tell them no as an authority and the adventureous will do it because...


[edit:]  vampo stats double because they catch the rager virus.  These stats max becausev twillight vamps are gay (figulatively) and anne rice 'Lestat' vamps are gay (literally).

Why does Armok see fit to present the world in ANCII graphics?

*facepalm* I totally missed that you can make metal mechanisms. Your first objection to wooden  ones applies 10x more to stone though. Lets see you make a  practical stone latch. Meenwhile I'll be over here making one in a few minutes with a pocket knife and a few sticks. Also wood works fine for gears. Hell that's what most water wheels and windmills were made with IRL :P
Dwarves have metal tools, rock is stronger than wood and lacks a grain you have to worry about, and there's no cultural issues about dwarves and stone. The opposite, in fact.
And dwarves do make waterwheels and windmills out of wood.

How can a goblin steal a baby from its mother without the mother noticing over and over again? You'd think they'd learn to pay more attention to their kids, considering how much they complain once they notice...

Dwarves believe strongly in independence. A baby disappearing is a sign of independence, and a source of pride. It's the theft of the baby from the fortress, very nearly resembling death, from their perspective, that so bothers the dwarves.

Why does burning coal in an iron bin create an eternal flame?
It doesn't, it never did. Burning lignite did, because it would never melt, but I hear that issue got fixed.

Why can't I think of a good question? Oh, yeah, I answer all of them before hitting Post.

Doesn't this simply ruen the fun?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Stopping a beekeeper from being suicidal
« on: August 21, 2012, 12:25:01 pm »
Perhaps assigning somebody else to a burrow with that hive in it and the beekeeper job turned on?  As a part-timer?  I typically try to keep my bees right outside my enterance and in smaller numbers...  or right next to my trade depot cave.  Bee stings be damned.

Why can't a dorf go into shock after tramatic experience?

DF tanning program.  Even underground nobles want to look sexy(if not hairy).

Why hasn't democracy or even a republic been founded in DFland?
