Contrary to popular belief, it doesn't ''explode'' (and never did), but it ''will'' boil away into nothing, which is always [[fun#No_Booze|fun]].

 A dwarf catching fire is not an automatic death sentence - dwarves have been observed catching fire, then extinguishing and surviving.

+First, understand that bone (and [[Shell#Uses|shell]]) armor is significantly inferior to even the worst metal counterpart, no argument. Even no-[[quality]] [[copper]] is far, ''far'' better 99% of the time.
 Bone armor is only helpful against small animal attacks, and even moderate animals (e.g. [[fox]]es or [[Rhesus macaque|macaques]]) don't need much luck to hurt a dwarf in even the best bone armor. Against any large animals, or against even the worst metal weapons, it's hardly better than wearing nothing. The sole advantages are that it's light weight, and, for most starting fortresses, it's quick and cheap to produce since you don't need a metal industry, just some dead animals. The usually recommended uses for bone armor are 1) for Hunters, who (usually) can choose what they're facing (e.g. small animals), and need lighter armor so they can move quickly 2) for early fortresses, as a pre-metal "better than nothing" precaution against local (small-medium) animals, 3) as some personal challenge or a fashion statement, because dressing in bones is just cool, or 4) as a specific [[Unfortunate accident|reward]] for some unpopular dwarf. Good luck with any of those.

 [[File:emotions_preview2.png|right]]Certain circumstances can evoke a wide range of '''emotions''', both negative and positive, affecting dwarves' [[stress]] levels. Emotional reactions can result from immediate experience, or from revisiting a long-term memory, and are affected by dwarves' [[personalities]] and values, resulting in different reactions to the same circumstances. Recent emotions experienced by dwarves (listed along with their circumstance pairs) are listed in the [[Thoughts and Preferences]] screen.
-Different [[thoughts]] can have different "strength", denoting the effect the emotion has on a dwarf's stress levels (negative numbers reduce stress, while positive numbers increase it) and depends on time elapsed and dwarven personality. This thought strength is then divided by the 'Divider' numbers given in the table. The thought strength is loosely color-coded, with positive thoughts being in blue or green and strong negative thoughts being in red or yellow. Brown thoughts are mildly to moderately negative, and purple and grey ones are pretty much neutral.

The thought strength is loosely color-coded, with positive thoughts being in blue or green and strong negative thoughts being in red or yellow. Brown thoughts are mildly to moderately negative, and purple and grey ones are pretty much neutral. Lower-strength emotions stop having an effect at stress extremes; specifically, those with divisor 2 or -2 cannot put a unit into the happiest or unhappiest buckets, and those with divisor 4, -4, 8 and -8 cannot put a unit into the second happiest or unhappiest buckets.
 : Note that positive thoughts have a ''negative'' number, as they ''reduce'' stress. Numbers closer to 1 or -1 have the strongest effect on stress.

 Water wheels need flowing water. The game considers it to be flowing water under two circumstances:
-. When deeper water flows into shallower water ("gradient flow".) Water which does not have a gradient—such as stretches of water 7/7 deep—is generally not considered to be flowing water even if the water technically flows through those tiles.
+. When deeper water flows into shallower water ("gradient flow"). Water which does not have a gradient—such as stretches of water 7/7 deep—is generally not considered to be flowing water even if the water technically flows through those tiles.
 . When water flows off the map edge or into an aquifer. (Water entering an aquifer vanishes from the map, since the aquifer can never become full, even if it's only a single tile). This type of flow returns from a map edge or an aquifer sink, giving the water the "flowing" quality. Water flowing off the map counts as flowing even at full 7/7 depth. This kind of flow is found in brooks, streams and rivers. Artificial water channels work just as well, as long as they flow off the map.

		+	::Well all is fine (but see last part of this post), if indeed the variable population (stored in the activity stats) is used for the calculation, but then again the game likes to count the population wrongly, ie. counting all historical figures alongside the abstract population, when calculating the population shown in the embark screen, allthough (especially after fortress retirement) the historical figures (of that civ) could potentially contain a whole lot of animals (and pack animals from merchant caravans not being the only culprit, but all offspring of bonded and alive or "undead" animals - "undead" because the game does not "kill" "historical animals", who were traded, when they reach their max age). Still are you sure that the caravan will only bring extra meat and fish, if that part of the extra rations check is failed? If that were the case a certain save game someone else did load up (so you figured the issue out) should not have contained any plump helmets (and other plants) as that part of the extra rations check would have then been fulfilled, but are you sure that the caravan did not contain any plump helmets (or other edible plants)? (Granted the caravans can intersperse food items between emergency provisions, when items are loaded onto wagons and pack animals).[[Special:Contributions/91.49.254.117\|91.49.254.117]] 01:18, 6 June 2026 (UTC)
