I found a lava pool but it is completely surrounded by warm of partially molten stone which my mines won't dig through. Semi-molten rock can't be dug through. Channel above it to access the magma. If it's just 'warm stone', you can dig into it and create a suitable area. | ||

They're just oddly cautious about breaching walls next to hot magma. Crazy, huh? | ||

 I'm thinking this will end in tragedy/fun quite soon if I cant get the purification stuff set up but I'll have to trade for some of the parts. | ||

 Anyways I usually rely on foraging and underground farms for my food, but ive wanted to try my luck at animals and having butchers. However... Whenever i do, I usually end up with really bad clouds of miasma all through my fort. Does anyone know how to properly deal with this? | ||

Also, if you rely only on animals to make food, pay attention to your booze supply :p. Lastly, famous Dwarf saying : Save CPU, Butcher a Kitty ! | ||

Then through your Z menu in animals you can designate "tame" creatures to be butchered. | ||

The butcher's shop(s) has a connecting set of back doors into a refuse stockpile specifically for that purpose. | ||

I've just started a new fortress in an area with salt water, haven't gotten the purification process up and running yet and one of my miners managed to fall and break a leg (*cough* not my fault at all) and now there's no water to wash the wound I'm thinking this will end in tragedy/fun quite soon if I cant get the purification stuff set up but I'll have to trade for some of the parts.well I'm doing fine. Or at least I was untill Goblins decided to ambush me and I figured out that all my 30 dwarfwarriors were not that frightening. So six Goblins killed all my warriors and started to party in my fortress. On my second attempt, I was too greedy and dug too deep. So in some cavern a bird-ish one horned forgotten beast found my legendary miner and invited himself to a party in my fortress. I bet the beast had the best intentions + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/7571/bd5513c0592586328310420.jpg) So I have to start again, soon. But well, I'm still learning this game (and I think you will always learn sth new..) | ||

Maybe I should load me up some DF and waste a few hours... | ||

Maybe try having 1-2 dwarves that can only haul food or whatever you are making from your carpenter, and have special stockpiles nearby perhaps. gl | ||
