You could have made a more efficient farm, without flooding your hallway. It involves 2 doors, and a couple d -> h. Just put a line on the back wall, near the door, build a room below the d -> h. This will give you a room (your farm) and a secondary (possibly) farm on a lower z-level. Throw a door where you cracked into the water, to prevent rainwater (if on) to re-flood your area.

If you want a more detailed description of how I do this, message me, I ran out of space.

@Atusid Saw it on Reddit, but it never crossed my mind when making these videos.

Eating plump helmets or other produce does not produce seeds, however brewing does FYI

[upingu]

@iSTALKforCASH Only cooking destroys the seeds. If you don't believe me, check the wiki or watch a dwarf eat a plump helmet.

[iSTALKforCASH]

@upingu Thats exactly what I said. Cooking does not create seeds while brewing does.

[upingu]

@iSTALKforCASH Plump helmets don't need to be cooked to be eaten, so "eating plump helmets" could mean cooked or uncooked.

Best tutorial out there

@Navineous1 I'm going to assume you mean the green slash that pops up over a dwarf or other creature? That means there's more than one creature standing on that tile and the slash is showing it switching from one to another, like a page flip in a book. To look at them, hit v for "view the closest creature" and then v again to cycle through whatever creatures are on that same tile.

@iSTALKforCASH eating them does produce seeds, i dont brew drinks, but i have them eat it, and i never run out

Great tutorial, but one question. I got the save file of yours for the tileset/texture mod (its great btw) and i was wondering what the name of the tileset was. Thanks

[Navineous1]

@DurasianStudios Yes, that was it. Thank you.,
