It took a while to gain control of the surface. I'm wondering how long actually curing cave adaptation takes...

Once you expose a tile to the sun, in any way, you can then build 100 floors of solid granite wall over it and it will behave as if its in the center of a sunny meadow. This lets you build an aboveground castle, highly insulated from goblinite threats.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Getting my mechanics to load stonefalls with only certain types of stone?
« on: September 23, 2012, 09:28:14 pm »
While give\take commands make workshops specific, I have not seen any evidence that one can actually control loading of stonefall traps...

You can also collect fat from animals, then convert that to soap.
You can then build your fortress walls out of soap.

« on: September 23, 2012, 07:00:07 pm »Magma reduces need for charcoal. So does coal.
I just wish I Could find coal around. Seems to be nowhere. I've taken to dropping an exploratory shaft in the first year to pierce the magma sea and hopefully as few caverns on the way as possible.

DF Suggestions / Re: Expanded wood materials: Logs, firewood, boards and beams

I will only support beams if creative methods of weaponization are found, giving dwarves the reality of beam weaponry.

What I want to know is, what is the metric and are there statistics that underlie that conclusion?

I don't want invulnerability, but I sure am hesitant to send my dwarves to meet archers now.

1. Heavy shields hurt more when you get bashed in the face with them. Crap soldiers have a harder time lugging them though.
2. I give as much as I can in the hope they'll bring fancier stuff. Especially the damnable elves. I want exotic animals. They seem to bring more every year. I buy all the cloth, because it takes me forever to get my own industry going...the clothes always rot off long before.
3. I look forward to reading others answers.

DF Suggestions / Re: Ghosts as a regional interaction
« on: September 20, 2012, 01:05:16 am »
I don't believe in ghosts either, but that doesn't mean I don't think they're awesome. Especially when the show up out of nowhere and hack someones leg off, and then he has to hobble around on a crutch for the rest of his life.
Dwarves like to be buried, and they get so pissed when they aren't, they're coming back to getcha.
I haven't gotten into Adv mode yet, but I think ghosts there opens up a whole new class of fetch quest. Purify tomb, etcetera, and so on, and so forth.

Just as an aside, I like to split off all steel production. Big room, 4 stockpiles, no bins, magma shelters in the middle. Quadrants of iron, flux, fuel, pig. Finished steel goes to magma forges. Nearby. One can then see at a glance how stocks look and whether or not it's time to melt a bunch or ore.
