Hi! I want to try doing a fort where absolutely everything is fully optimised (no mater the cost of setup). What do you think would be some good includes? The more obscure the better. For example I recently learned that your dwarves can increase their Observation skill by being near sparring and fights, so I plan to build my barracks near highly populated areas.

Optimized toward what goals? I mean, people have created swimming pools to ensure dwarfs gain swimming skill, and you can improve the strength of all dwarfs by setting up a pump gym.

Toward the general well-being of the dwarves and the fort at large (skill and atribute development, mood betterment, wealth generation (both for trade and rooms), dwarven workflow, defences effectivnes and so on). Basically anything that is considered a positive. The two examples you gave are excelent, thank you!

Rebuild until masterwork: wells, furnaces, bridges, Trade Depot. Dwarves get good thoughts from them.

Dwarves get especially good thoughts if the building they’re working in gets torn down and rebuilt while they’re in the middle of a strange mood.  You should try it out!

I've never had any problems when dismantling wells that had dwarves working in them.

Oh, good one! I knew about the trade depot, but had no idea that workshops can give good thoughts. Thanks!

I'll make sure to try that some day

I heard that pump gyms got nerfed pretty hard. You can use military training to increase strength now, and it's quite fast. Half a year of drills get you very strong dwarfs.

You can't, since the workshop is claimed by the moody dwarf and you can't select its destroy button.

You can depower magma forges while they are claimed, which will fail the mood. Not relevant to optimizing structure quality, though.

Forbidding the building material of the workshop after the moody dwarf claimed it also works.

What if you unleash a building destroyer on the claimed workshop?
