He uses the offspring to aid in thief detection. If a baby dies while on duty, well, there are plenty more where he came from.

I had a jeweller get possessed and cut the perfect gem. Only used a single raw gem, which was rather nice. I would prefer not to waste a large amount of material on someone who isn't even going to get skill from it.

I add pump operator to their jobs, and then use them as haulers. One day I will trap some purring maggots and actually make milk and then cheese, but for now their skills are useless.

Its hard to make trees indoors. For everything else though, including fishing, yes.

Although your own example should have made that obvious to you.

My first thought too.
The degrinchinator was undoubtably *the* best mechanical trap ever made in DF.

And it doubles as a source of bones for him to carve!
Actually, that is pretty practical.

Dwarves bring wagons as of the currently latest version, 38a. Hooray!
Human wagons just need a clear path. Smooth some boulders, cut down some trees, and lots of trade goods shall be yours.

You can build walled enclosures, hope the GCS makes its way into this small enclosure and then lock it in there. There is the obvious disadvantage that this building needs to be built where these monsters are likely to walk, so expect to lose a few dwarves. The other option is to wait for the new version with the "no traps for resident monsters" bug fixed.

Cage traps don't affect creatures that start out in your map, only creatures that migrate or invade.

However, what about things like the silly way in which dwarves deal with clothing?
Any code written now will be thrown away when the relevant arc is completed. Waste of time.

What about the way they ignore being on fire?
Valid, but could possibly take a lot of time compared to other bugs

How about a way to make the military actually effective without tons of micromanagement?
So you are suggesting that Toady just focus on coding the army arc instead of bug fixing? Seriously?
quote:
How about fixing carp so they aren't super mutant beasts that can drag people into the water?
Learn to deal with them or learn to avoid water. They may be overpowered, but so what? Toady working on balance this early is a waste of time, changes will happen that renders any effort here wasted.
Maybe putting more thought into what you are actually asking for would help?
