The traders even sometimes bring items with decorations depicting artefacts made by your dwarves in your current fortress. Which means your artisans are getting famous.

Sentient wild animals can get stressed. One of the plump helmet women from my captive breeding project has become stressed. Is there any way to view her thoughts/personality? I think I might do some science on this.

DF will try to appoint every noble position after retiring a fortress.

I had to fire the new sheriff and the useless hammerer. ::)

I found entities can in fact share a creature. Which means you could have a dozen distinct cultures and have them all be composed of bog-standard elves with no new creatures needed.

It seems tweak makeown doesn't work well after retiring.
I guess DF just checks if the unit is in the same group as the founding seven.

Not sure if I posted this one already, but adding in a ranged skill disables treecutting from an ax-skill weapon. It'll still work as a combat ax, but it won't cut down trees. I learned this by trying to give one of my modded in ranged weapons the ax skill so it could double as a treecutter. I wound up modding in hatchets after that for some flavor.

Like many things, dwarves will use bone in the reverse order that they were produced. I'm making all my bone into bolts, and I've gotten back to about ten years ago's bone. This is good!

If there's a QSP, the newest is naturally on the top, which is used first.

useless hammerer. ::)

Wait, wait, wait.
Aren't all hammerers supposed to be useless? I mean isn't a useless hammerer an oxymoron that means they kill every victim?

Well I don't use justice system so they are always useless. ::)





You know, u/d stairs can be removed from above, like this:

--------------------------------
side view:
x
x
x
.
.
.

. = open space
x = u/d stair to be removed

--------------------------

The worker will be sitting on the red stair while removing it. I have no idea how they climb up after that...

But if the worker is carrying a baby, the baby will not go up with its mother and do a fun bungee jump without a rope.

Digging into a brook from below leaves the "invisible covering" on it intact. This allows you to have a surface water supply that's safe from intruding hostiles.

Dwarves who share a cabinet try to put their own xsocksx in it. For some reason, they never fill the cabinet. So they just keep doing the Store Owned Item job.

I saw some giant tree frogs spawned inside the brook.

I noticed a dwarf who was idling in his own meager bedroom went all the way to sleep in a grand to royal quality bedroom on another side of the map.

So I guess normal dwarves, despite not having negative thoughts sleeping in a poor bedroom, still prefer better quality.
