=Carving an empire out of Sand and Cat Bone=

My current load-out, inspired by finding a nice thickly-forested, heavily populated space of Black Sand with a magma pipe in it, and then discovering that the randomly-chosen name for the group was The Infamous Cat-Sacks.

Clearly, I've been playing for far too long.

== The Dwarves ==

'''1. The Guy With The Bright Idea'''
* Novice Miner
* Novice Judge of Intent
* Novice Appraisal
* Competent Consoler
* Skilled Pacifier

Since the top couple of layers are sand, anyway, he'll have plenty of time to level up in his actual trade skill. Ideally, he ought to be proficient in Persuader, but then I thought to myself, "No, that's going too far."

'''2. Cat-Into-Sack Stuffer'''
* Novice Butcher
* Novice Tanner
* Proficient Leatherworker
* Competent Mechanics

Hey, he can't kill cats all the time. He also spends a lot of time devising cruel torture implements and death traps. Uh.....why do we want him along, again? Oh yeah, he's the whole reason we're ''The Infamous Cat-Sacks.''

'''3. Three Words: Cat Bone Armor'''
* Proficient Bone Carver
* Skilled Stonecrafter
* Novice Record Keeper

Need I say any more?

'''4. Not The Weaponsmith You Were Looking For'''
* Competent Bowyer
* Average Glassmaker
* Average Cook
* Novice Wood Burner
* Novice Organizer
Despite magma somewhere on the map, I trade a point of Bowyer for Wood Burner, for the early game. He's an essential part of my plans for an army of cat-bone clad marksdwarves armed with cat bone crossbows, shooting cat bone bolts at our enemies! He also makes a pretty nice cat meat biscuit.

'''5. Outdoor Dwarf'''
* Novice Wood Cutter
* Proficient Carpenter
* Novice Herbalism
* Novice Hunter

== Their Stuff ==
*4 Copper Picks
*1 Steel Axe
*2 Hunting Dogs
*2 War Dogs
*2 cats
*1 pig tail rope (for the sentry cat)
*1 Lead cage (for the rest of the cats)
*21 units each of the 4 kinds of alcohol
*31 Seeds of Plump Helmet and Pig Tail
*11 Seeds of the others
*11 turtles still in their shell
*1 each of all the food we can get (10gp and less)

Which should leave us enough for nearly 40 cats! If we end up with anything left over, we can spend it on cat leather, cat meat, or seeds.

New Version: 2 muskox, 2 cows instead of cats for a more generally carnivorous society.

==Future Development Plans and Things I Keep Forgetting==

 The Record Keeper and Outpost Manager jobs go to newbs from the 
first immigration wave who are only suitable for Hauling duties. 

Some peasants are given the custom profession ROTC. These guys get Wood Cutting (so they carry axes), Masonry, Mechanics, Plant Gathering and Pump Operator. My Carpenter then turns off Plant Gathering (but not Woodcutting, so he gets to keep his shiny axe). I must remember to keep them separate from Haulers. I arrange them into one giant squad, all under the Carpenter. Once they all get a few levels of usable civillian skills, I must remember to turn them into an off-duty activated squad, so they can spend some time training up military skills.

When training, they should by unarmed until they all have several levels of Wrestler.

When assaulted by an ambush, activate the ROTC, remembering to set the squad on duty. If I tell them to go out in their skivvies, they won't waste time looking for armor.

The military, including trained civilians, should have their own quarters, dining and stockpiles NEAR THE F'ING ENTRANCE.

= Osodrigoth, Bonecrafts =

==1st Granite, 201. Early Spring==

We have arrived. The site is a gently sloped dune surrounded by forest, with no flowing water (at least, not above-ground). What is visible, to our dismay, is the demon-infested mouth of a volcano, on the southwest side of the dune. A few murky pools shall be our only source of water, so I note that I must build some kind of cistern system for catching as much rainfall as we can from the pitiful supplies available. 

Thankfully, our menagerie has arrived in good health. I will, I suppose, need to find somewhere to store them besides the barracks.

==18th Felsite, 201, Late Spring==

I've had to curtail the zeal of Uvash Zonibmat, our outdoorsdwarf. It seems he felt that the best way to ensure the success of our fortress was to perform animal sacrifices. First, he hunted down a unicorn, only to leave the bloody carcass on our doorstep when he realized that we didn't have so much as a statue of Akil, much less a temple. As Akil is the god of volcanos, he decided to hunt down one of the imps and slay it while screaming "Blood and Souls!"

I certainly appreciate his piety, but I would prefer him to wait until we've at least dug deep enough to find some stone to replace the wooden door that is our only protection currently.

Also, the well construction will have to be delayed until the next caravan. One of our war dogs has taken to wearing the one piece of rope we brought with us, and none of the pig tails will be even planted until next season.

==25th Sandstone, 201 Mid Autumn==

I can't tell you how many times I've heard dwarves tell me that behind ever caravan is a horde of kobold thieves. Did I listen? Did I post guards? Did I stop my dwarves from aimlessly wandering the countryside looking for a fire imp to slay? Of course not. And sure enough, one of those buggers jumped up and done shoved a dagger straight into old Catsacks SackRealms' eye! My crazed genius, the apple of my eye! No one knows how to use catgut the way Catsacks does! I'm not sure what to do with the poor guy. He insists he's fine, but he keeps passing out while in the middle of butchering some beasty. All my meat is going to rot because of him, and the winter snows are about to come upon us. I doubt we'll get any replacements this soon.

-== Barracks Tools ==
-fix-armory
-Enables a fix for storage of squad equipment in barracks.
+=Carving an empire out of Sand and Cat Bone=
-Specifically, it prevents your haulers from moving squad equipment to stockpiles, and instead queues jobs to store it on weapon racks, armor stands, and in containers.
+My current load-out, inspired by finding a nice thickly-forested, heavily populated space of Black Sand with a magma pipe in it, and then discovering that the randomly-chosen name for the group was The Infamous Cat-Sacks.
-Note
+Clearly, I've been playing for far too long.
-In order to actually be used, weapon racks have to be patched and manually assigned to a squad. See documentation for gui/assign-rack below.
+== The Dwarves ==
-Also, the default capacity of armor stands is way too low, so you may want to also apply the armorstand-capacity patch. Check out http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=1445 for more information about the bugs.

+Since the top couple of layers are sand, anyway, he'll have plenty of time to level up in his actual trade skill. Ideally, he ought to be proficient in Persuader, but then I thought to myself, "No, that's going too far."
-Weapon racks (when patched) are used to store any assigned weapons. Each rack belongs to a specific squad, and can store up to 5 weapons.
+'''2. Cat-Into-Sack Stuffer'''
-Armor stands belong to specific squad members and are used for armor and shields. By default one stand can store one item of each type (hence one boot or gauntlet); if patched, the limit is raised to 2, which should be sufficient.
+* Novice Butcher
-Cabinets are used to store assigned clothing for a specific squad member. They are never used to store owned clothing.
+* Novice Tanner
-Chests (boxes, etc) are used for a flask, backpack or quiver assigned to the squad member. Due to a probable bug, food is dropped out of the backpack when it is stored.
+* Proficient Leatherworker
-Warning
+* Competent Mechanics
-Although armor stands, cabinets and chests properly belong only to one squad member, the owner of the building used to create the barracks will randomly use any containers inside the room. Thus, it is recommended to always create the armory from a weapon rack.
+Hey, he can't kill cats all the time. He also spends a lot of time devising cruel torture implements and death traps. Uh.....why do we want him along, again? Oh yeah, he's the whole reason we're ''The Infamous Cat-Sacks.''
-Contrary to the common misconception, all these uses are controlled by the Individual Equipment usage flag. The Squad Equipment flag is actually intended for ammo, but the game does even less in that area than for armor and weapons. This plugin implements the following rules almost from scratch:
+'''3. Three Words: Cat Bone Armor'''
+* Proficient Bone Carver
+* Skilled Stonecrafter
+* Novice Record Keeper
-Combat ammo is stored in chests inside rooms with Squad Equipment enabled.
+Need I say any more?
-If a chest is assigned to a squad member due to Individual Equipment also being set, it is only used for that squad's ammo; otherwise, any squads with Squad Equipment on the room will use all of the chests at random.
-Training ammo is stored in chests inside archery ranges designated from archery targets, and controlled by the same Train flag as archery training itself. This is inspired by some defunct code for weapon racks.
-== Make Quickfort files ==

-[https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/119308/coal-and-a-volcano-on-the-same-map Increase likelihood of volcanoes]
+==18th Felsite, 201, Late Spring==
-Sett Volcanism X-Variance & Volcanism Y-Variance to maximum (3200), a much steeper drop off in volcanism, allowing sedimentary layers to be right next to volcanoes.
+I've had to curtail the zeal of Uvash Zonibmat, our outdoorsdwarf. It seems he felt that the best way to ensure the success of our fortress was to perform animal sacrifices. First, he hunted down a unicorn, only to leave the bloody carcass on our doorstep when he realized that we didn't have so much as a statue of Akil, much less a temple. As Akil is the god of volcanos, he decided to hunt down one of the imps and slay it while screaming "Blood and Souls!"
- Volcanism Weighted Range.
+I certainly appreciate his piety, but I would prefer him to wait until we've at least dug deep enough to find some stone to replace the wooden door that is our only protection currently.
- Volcanism Weighted Range (0-20)   1        Volcanism Weighted Range (0-20)   1
+Also, the well construction will have to be delayed until the next caravan. One of our war dogs has taken to wearing the one piece of rope we brought with us, and none of the pig tails will be even planted until next season.
- Volcanism Weighted Range (20-40)  1        Volcanism Weighted Range (20-40)  0

- Volcanism Weighted Range (80-100) 1        Volcanism Weighted Range (80-100) 1
-> This will make it so the only volcanism values which can exist are the lower end and the upper end of the range, so it further increases the likelihood of sedimentary biomes being near volcanos.
+==25th Sandstone, 201 Mid Autumn==
-> The final trick is to increase the number of volcanoes, increasing the odds that you'll find one in a good position. The Minimum Volcano Number will vary based on map size. On a medium map, I usually set it to 35.
