I believe cats hunt them.
Your call: catplosion or flies.

dont have cats yet, will buy some when the trader arrives. its my very first fortress >_< btw, when it became summer my plump helmets started to rott, at least i think they did. coz suddenly a miasma could appeared, is that normal? O_o

Plants won't rot if you get them into food stockpiles. Not sure if they'll rot if you let them wither in the field and don't refuse the withered crops.

As for flies, they hang out near food, farms, or mud, so as long as your bedrooms aren't in the middle of your food production or dining room, you should be fine. A door does wonders here.

Thanks for the tips guys. I have a nearly unlimited supply of ratmans and batmans in my lands, so I suppose I should make clothes with their leather. How is the process for leather?

dead things that have skins -> tanner -> skins -> leatherworker -> leather itams

might need a butcher too, cba to remember

****Men (batmen,ratmen,sludgemen) dont give leather AFAIK.

what tilesets are you guys using?

Oh great Will have to plant pig tails then. Thansk for the tips everone.

I dont use any tilesets, im already too used to the standart tiles and I like to use the whole screen :)

just trade leather into the fort, it's less expensive than cloth and the merchants bring hundreds and hundreds of raw leather each time they come.

Hey, I'm staying up late at night and had an insane idea:

Dwarf Fortress...combined with Mount and Blade = God

Well many games would be godly if they were as complete as dwarf fortress, but they would be godly big and cpu eating as well :)

CPU eating games are just a way to get chepies to buy new compies.

Indeed, people only really need hardware as powerfull as we have these days to play games :) Or beat chessmasters.

Why is this game good?

Because it is.

Because you can make weapons with bones then use those weapons to tear off someones hand so you can pick it up and throw on someone else, and once everone is dead you can make a mausoleum with 20 diferent kinds of rocks and engrave everthing.
