* Find out how often a creature can be sheared
 
* Add grow time from [[crop]] (25 or 42 days) to the respective individual plant articles
 
* rewrite [[Notes]], make [[Routes]]
 
* duplicating info: [[Melt item]] has info on how many bars what item is made of. Individual items' pages lack this info. Do it!

== How to drill through an Aquifer ==
 +
 
 +
QuantumMenace has developed a method how to drill through an aquifer of an unknown depth. This is a newbie-friendly and detailed tutorial based on [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=79224.msg2060636#msg2060636| Quantum's original forum post].
 +
 
 +
Even in this newbie-friendly tutorial it won't harm if you first train this on an embark which you don't intend to play after you've made it through the aquifer. Therefore I suggest you take this embark setup:
 +
 
 +
=== Suggested embark setup ===
 +
* 1 Proficient Miner
 +
* 3 Proficient Masons
 +
* 1 Proficient Carpenter
 +
* 1 Proficient Woodcutter
 +
* 1 Proficient Mechanic
 +
 
 +
sell the anvil to buy:
 +
* 30+ stones (you will need 16 pieces of building material per aquifer level)
 +
* 4 logs (to build a [[DF2012:Carpenter's workshop|carpenter's workshop]] and a [[DF2012:Screw_pump|pump]])
 +
 
 +
Make sure you have at least:
 +
* 1 (battle) axe
 +
* 1 pick
 +
to cut down trees and mine
 +
 
 +
=== Procedure ===
 +

5. Dig a 2&times;2 staircase until you reach the aquifer layer.

3. Make sure you have at least one dwarf with the [[DF2012:Pump_operator|pump operating]] labor enabled. Start pumping the water from one side to another. And build walls around the first quadrant.

4. Deconstruct the water pump, build it facing the other direction and start pumping again. Build walls around the second quadrant accordingly.

5. Deconstruct the pump and the floor tiles in your non-aquifer layer and construct an up/down staircase there instead.

7. Now for the last quadrant. Deconstruct the pump and build it to pump to the opposite direction. It will spill some water while pumping, but it isn't dangerous.

flies for their ability to annoy
 
guineafowl for their social nature
 
jabberers for their frightening beaks

 +

 +
|}
  
=== Stockpile of Cages ===
+
9. If you see there is another aquifer layer below, you can repeat the steps in sections 1-8. To dig through one layer of aquifer this way will take you 2 or 3 months in-game time.
