does a dwarf's preferences effect their thoughts? ie: will having a room made out of gold increase the happiness of a dwarf that loves gold more than a dwarf who loves copper? --Kingzilla 16:50, 7 February 2008 (EST)

Sounds great. I've been meaning to do it sometime but I don't have the time, with my poor, task-slowing wiki-code skills.
Note that a lot of this is probably wrong. You'll need some way to state what version each has been verified for, which, unless 0x517A5D decides to give us some more/more recent values, will probably always be 0.23.130.23a --Savok 22:18, 12 March 2008 (EDT)

maybe this should be the place where "happiness" is redirected to since it's important because it'll keep dwarves from going on a rampage...i think...or something.--Seaneat 08:48, 30 June 2008 (EDT)

"Was put off by a lesser's pretentious dining arrangements lately" what does this mean? someone ate at their dining table or they ate near someone lesser or ate some where poor? --Seaneat 05:48, 1 July 2008 (EDT)

They noticed that someone less important has a more expensive dining room. Probably your Count (or Baron, etc) thinking about your Mayor (or Count, etc) I'm guessing. --Edward 11:18, 1 July 2008 (EDT)

Complaining about job scarcity

What can I do to prevent this? It's irritating for my workers to complain. I like to make my dwarves haul various things to my stockpiles located everywhere. Do dwarves like working at where they work best at? Does sticking all my dwarves into the fortress during a seige cause this? I'm good to disable it somehow. I should probably stick this in the manager or mayor discussion as they handle the complaints. I could activate pump activating and stone detailing and stick some useless pumps and never ending tunnels and rooms that need smoothing in my fortress... I heard this is a major problem as it's difficult to know and find who wants to complain with all the interruptions. They also work outdoors which has space for my lovely stockpiles. Oh right and economy must also be a reason too...dwarves need to pay to eat and drink. -__- --Seaneat 19:25, 2 July 2008 (EDT)

It's due to the economy starting up, yes.
My recommendation? Lever-pulling. It's a paid job (2☼/pull) and can (relatively) rapidly accumulate wealth for your otherwise unemployed dwarves. I'd setup a dozen or more levers and set the building profile to have only your (semi-)dedicated haulers allowed. The big problem, is that hauling doesn't pay anything, despite being one of the most important jobs for productivity.--Edward 17:42, 3 July 2008 (EDT)
If you have magma or a chasm, you could, say, banish siltstone from your domain through the stocks menu. Each disposal pays 20☼. This keeps the lower classes occupied, and you can either remove the 'dispose' command through the stocks menu, or you can turn off refuse hauling for important dwarves. --Mirthmanor 16:30, 19 August 2008 (EDT)
And actually, at least as of 40d, hauling earns 1☼ per completed job. Which, of course, is not much in most cases since a single hauling job may take a Dwarf from one extreme of the map to the other over complicated paths. I've seen a comment or two from people who've generated extra income for their haulers by creating a few contrived stockpiles that are adjacent and feed from each other.

Each is a stockpile of size 4 of some common material available nearby. Stockpile 0 takes from stockpile 9 which takes from stockpile 8 and so on. A hauler can go from one to the next in a step, gaining 1☼ each time. -Fuzzy 12:17, 29 October 2008 (EDT)

Losing an annoying acquaintance?

I lost two dwarves to imps within the first year. The first one made my metalsmith very sad: "Lost a friend to tragedy recently." I was afraid he was going to go crazy on me he was blinking with every down arrow possible. Then, the ranger died... and now he is "happier" and "He has lost an annoying acquaintance to tragedy recently."

Can anyone confirm if the losing of an annoyance makes a dwarf happier? --Corc 00:29, 7 July 2008 (EDT)
