| − | Magma does not naturally have [[pressure]] because it is "chunky": when a magma pipe is tapped at a certain level, it will not flow upwards like a volcano, even if there is a considerable reservoir of magma nearby. This is not a bug and is very intentional. However, if magma is pumped, it gains pressure up to the level of the [[screw pump]], and a pump can push magma through a U shaped passage just fine. | + | Magma does not naturally have [[pressure]] because it is "chunky": when a magma pipe is tapped at a certain level, it will not flow upwards like a volcano, even if there is a considerable reservoir of magma nearby.

| − | To milk something it has to be a [[vermin]]ous creature. The only milkable thing you can carry is a purring maggot. Larger creatures are not yet milkable because the AI is not yet implemented to bring the creatures to the [[farmer's workshop]]. It would be relatively simple to implement, but is not a priority at this time. | + | To milk something it has to be a [[40d:vermin|vermin]]ous creature.

Note that while you cannot milk larger animals yourself, civilisations can still milk animals "off screen" for your benefit. | Note that while you cannot milk larger animals yourself, civilisations can still milk animals "off screen" for your benefit. | ||

=== Building a Wooden Weapon... Rack === | === Building a Wooden Weapon... Rack === | ||
| − | There is a minor problem with the [[carpenter's workshop]]. Inexperienced players might be confused because in the build menu it says "Construct wooden Weapon", but they will get a [[weapon rack]] out of the deal. This isn't a bug, merely a shortcoming of the interface. You cannot actually build wooden weapons at the carpenter's workshop; the full name, "Construct wooden Weapon rack", is cut off in the default view, and can be seen if {{k|Tab}} is used to expand the menu. Expanding the menu will reveal that the option does not specify constructing a wooden weapon, but rather a wooden weapon ''rack''. | + | There is a minor problem with the [[40d:carpenter's workshop|carpenter's workshop]].

I also have this issue, however it is really satisfying to watch the carp the killed 4 of my original 7 dwarves spawn outside the river, die and then fall in, the weird thing is, it empties and then about 15 grid squares farther along the river, it is still ful and flowing on its original course. I also have an issue at a river junction where on one z-level there is blood, that looks like it is flowing into a waterfall, one z-level lower, there is no blood, another z-level down, there is still another river without a side wall, yet it is still running. please, this is on a community fortress, can we get this fixed? | I also have this issue, however it is really satisfying to watch the carp the killed 4 of my original 7 dwarves spawn outside the river, die and then fall in, the weird thing is, it empties and then about 15 grid squares farther along the river, it is still ful and flowing on its original course.

| − | === | + | === Goblins Don't Always Use Graphics === |
| + | When a goblin is caught in a cage and put in a stockpile, and graphic sets are used, the goblin is displayed with the correct graphic tile. But should you install the goblin cage anywhere, the graphic is ignored and the traditional 'g' displayed instead. | ||
| − | + | This also seems to be the case with animals. | |
