Okay, cheers.
Glad to hear there is future plans.
Still, this suggestion would be a nice for a future update I think. No reason it couldn't be implemented.

But thanks for the tips guys, I'll set that up right away.

Yep, title pretty much says it.

A stockpile that takes all those x torn socks would make clothing soooo much easier to handle, honestly.

Right now it's hell, and we all have our own ways of handling them. I personally set up a garbage zone next to the trade caravan, and have to use stocks to dump every single x torn clothe at the start of each season, claim them and then trade them. It's easier to trade em because it's all the clothes 3 blocks from the caravan. But still, this means no barrels and still is an annoying way to sort them.

I think, something similar to the food storage where you press 'u' to enable/disable prepared meals.
This could enable/disable ruined clothing, of x quality or less.

Armok bestowed the spell of haste onto all pickaxes made by the dwarves

Why do marksdwarves like to run at the enemy instead of shoot when possible?

What is considered a master?

After only about 2 years of failing, I now manage to get almost every fortress up and running to at least be self sustainable.
Farms, near surface in dirt. Workshops, metal industries, and cooks/brewers/livestock.
I can use my military somewhat competently (Though I'm not sure how the schedules really work, I just have everyone training)
A small squad of crossbowdwarves (about 4 to 6) always training will quickly get to great skills and take out beasts (From the caverns) that attack (from my past experiences) and then axedwarves train on the weaker targets relatively safely.
I've manage to get a working well inside my hospital a few times.

I've also never touched minecarts, lye/soap/dyes, cheese making and most of farming
I just Fish, Gather, Butchur (rarely hunt), Cook and Brew

Never gone near Adamantine or Hell or anything
(Bar once where I dug straight stairs as far down as I could once passing caverns and well, right above huge sea's of magma to place forges out of interest
Where Imps killed all my dwarves)

Hey guys.
I'm actually playing a lot of the older Dwarf Fortress 34.11
And I'm sort of new ish to Linux. I was wondering if someone could help me to get Dwarf Therapist working with the older version of DF.
I've never understood how this makefile thing works with qt-4 and stuff.
What would I download for this to work, and what would I do with the download?
Could I get it done with the splintermind version? I remember getting this to work a couple of weeks back but it wasn't letting me change proffession names and stuff.
Thanks, any help is much appreciated.

So I need to activate the turbo in the bios? And it only works when plugged in? Thats good.
I always plug in my laptop and take the battery out when using it for extended periods of time, generally for DF and use the battery when going out to places to write or code.
And your DF will make use of the turbo?
And I can check the frequency. I have Conky running. A friend on Skype is showing me all the ways to personalize my Linux.

Edit: How would I go about enabling turbo boost? No such option shows in the Bios. It is an Asus.
Everywhere I look, I hear it is enabled by default. So something is really wrong here.

So, to begin with, this here is my laptop.
http://www.computeralliance.com.au/asus-p550lav-xx787g-15.6-core-i7-notebook-windows-7/8.1-pro

So, I have installed Linux Mint Cinnamon and gotten Dwarf Fortress to work with Dwarf Therapy. No small task, as I am new to Linux.
Anyway, I finally found I can run
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "MHz"
To test the speed of my cores.. (That the way to put it) and it came up with
cpu MHz      : 2000.000
cpu MHz      : 754.000
cpu MHz      : 754.000
cpu MHz      : 754.000

And so I am correct in assuming the 2000.000 is the 2ghz? I heard DF uses the most it can from one core, so... here's a few questions.
First off, I am correct in understanding it shows 4 CPU's as there is 2 threads per core? (It's only a duel core)
(Which is a shame cause if DF only uses 1 thread, I could have just looked for a really powerful single core?)

I wanted a duel so that 1 core for DF and one for background tasks (Never knew there was 2 thread per core, mate told me when I asked him why it's showing 4)
But with a single core, 1 thread could be focused on background tasks and 1 thread on DF... Now there is 2 threads going to waste?

So anyway my first real important question is this. If DF uses as much resources as it can while it can.. and the  Intel Core i7 4510U 2.0GHz (4M Cache, up to 3.1GHz)
Well I got told, the processor will boost from 2.0 to 3.1 when it needs to. So... Shouldn't DF be boosting it to 3.1? Or was this all just a waste of money? Anyway to make DF used all 3100 MHz? Cause if it's just gonna use the 2.0 GHz then.. I should have just stuck with my old laptop, which I think was a 2.3GHz Duel core. Then again this has 8Gb RAM and the other 4.

Another question. I brought an SSD hard drive which should make DF faster right? Especially when saving and loading?

I'm sorry. Am really quite new to Hardware.
Am loving this laptop though. Boots up and shuts down in literally 3 seconds flat. It's meant to be for my writing, and for DF.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
