"Alesuppers the Bearded beards" is the most stereotypical name for a group of dwarves I have ever seen and it gives me life.

[@jacethejackal2475]

That foodgate named after its creator is quite special, its a 1% chance for a dwarf to name the artifact after themselves and it has to be a fey mood, not any other kind.

[@hostergaard]

Tips on making a secure fortress: There is only two things that are naturaly immune to destruction by beasties: raised bridges and hatches *from below* (And anything build from artifacts tought you don't have a reliable source of those). I usually make a system of raising bridge - cage trap(s) - weapon trap(s) -door - raising bridge between the fort, the caverns and the outside. First bridge is to stop any big building destroyers that might show up and seal the fortress. Cage trap(s) to catch any interesting creatures for fun, breeding and profit, the weapons to kill anything trap immune and then another bridge if everything else fails and so I can potentially trap anything between them. If I am feeling extra fancy I set up several paths with bridges so I can control which path is taken have them filled with weapons traps or cage traps as needed. If I have managed to catch a web spitter of some kind I can make a side entrance like that filled with cage traps covered with webs that will catch anything, your dwarfs included hence it needs to be a side path that you open to catch trap avoid beasties. Oh, and I like to post some guard animals somewhere in the system to catch any hidden beasties that might wanna sneak in. If you put artifacts on pedestal, have guards or guard animals posted near it. Use hatches to cover water sources connected to the outside or the caverns to prevent destroyers from coming up trough it, they can't destroy it from bellow as long as you lock it up. Better yet is to dig a corridor with a raising bridge system and fortification that leads to a cistern so you can store water and seal up the fortress.

To be honest I think you're more likely to get an RSI from the steam edition, full keyboard controls are much more ergonomic assuming your setup is good.

[@Illogical.]

I don't watch much DF content. I prefer avoiding spoilers. But how do I facilitate training martial arts? How do the things that lack textures (walnuts, jugs that contain royal jelly, and probably other) work? like, do they sometimes have textures? Is it only broken in menus? Is there a way to target a specific creature or type of creature to attack it on sight or something like that? How do I fill a 1x1 sloped hole? How do I clean the floor when there is mud or blood on it? How do I make an area work as a pet free-roam area? Like, so cats can run around mostly freely in my fort. Is there a way to set a plot of farmland to just plant whatever I have the seeds for? How do I salt food, so it lasts longer? Are the trading station values broken in the current or a recent version, or am I doing something wrong? How do I plant trees? How do I place dirt or similar, so plants can grow in a place? Why does polishing floors seem to be extremely heighly prioritized? Nearly everyone goes to do it. I have it at priority 4. Same with planting crops, but that at least makes sense. How do I extract an item from water? One of my dwarves were killed by a dirt tree. Wtf? ("alert: something has collapsed on the surface" and "someone is hurt". I check combat log. I get the impression that a clay golem has knocked out, and subsequently brutally beaten one of by dwarves to death. I find dwarf with axe, dead next to a tree. I go up 1 layer. The tree stump is carrying dirt floor.)
