stealthed werebeasts are the new source of FUN now. case and point, a wereopposum sneaked its way into my fort and was discovered only after it crossed my lockdown bridge. The beast then proceeded to devastate my fort, leaving one dwarf dead and two infected in the first year.

the only thing worse is probably werecats since they come with legendary climber.

for the 40.08 release, I decided to embark on an aquifer for the first time ever. I've read up on the double slit method but still don't fully understand it.

This post is actually my second time attempting to crack the aquifer. the first time I tried to cave in through it but I stupidly dug out the tiles above the aquifer so when it caved in it didn't destroy it. to add insult to injury, all of my miner drowned during the chaos.

hopefully this time will be different.

guilty until proven innocent.

I think if you atomsmash them somewhere out of sight, then nobody would ever know that they died and only think they've gone missing, avoid the massive unhappiness boost.

alternatively, kill them right after they're born. considerably more difficult, but the happiness resulting from having a child should counteract the unhappiness from their child dying.

I once found a marble layer that was only 1 z lvl deep on the second cavern level. The only marble there were stalactites as the layer above was gabbro and the layer beneath was orthoclase.

Usually I get 3-4 z lvls worth of flux though.

purge the impure from your civ.

not really by much expect I don't use danger rooms anymore.
