I want to build magma-starships

In all seriousness though, I look forward to when moving blocks are possible, other than just in cave-ins.

You do not understand the ways of Toady One. He is not a business, he's just a guy trying to make a fun game. He's invited people to come along and experience the journey with him (and help him test it out as he goes along). At the end of the day, I don't think his main goal is to sell Dwarf Fortress, its just to create the best game possible.

Here is the solution to the fort retirement issue.

Build airship,  take 7 dwarves somewhere new.

I don't know about airships, but I think golems could be a possibility. Please keep in mind the following is entirely anecdotal.

I have read on a forum somewhere about someone using a modded reaction to Forge Cows. I have also read about tame creatures having the hunting labour enabled (possibly Crundles[?]).

Therefore it might be possible to mod in a "Golem" creature that can be made at your forge or craft workshop and have them haul, dig or whatever.

afaik, creatures can't be made out of reactions, they only makes vermins. Using syndromes or transformation could do the trick, though, but I don't know much about this.

Mastewrok has this already. They created a reaction that sacrifices a dwarf and makes a golem.

In a hole in the ground there lived a dwarf. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a dwarf fortress, and that means magma.

I have read on a forum somewhere about someone using a modded reaction to Forge Cows.
Those weren't creature-cows, those were vermin-cows. That was also pre-transformations, so it's now possible to create a syndrome that takes one creature and turns it into another. I'm not sure what kind of offspring two transformed creatures will produce though. A dwarf turned into a jabberer still gives dwarf meat when butchered, so the transformation is not complete in all cases.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.
