 Malachite is a hydrated copper carbonate (Cu<sub>2</sub>(CO<sub>3</sub>)(OH)<sub>2</sub>) that forms as a result of the weathering of pre-existing copper deposits. Malachite is known to form alongside both [[Chrysocolla]], and Azurite (which is not present in ''Dwarf Fortress'') which it commonly pseudomorphs from.

 Weapon traps are similar in nature to stone-fall traps, and are triggered when any hostile creature steps on the trap. They contain up to 10 weapons, chosen when placing the trap, and can inflict grievous injuries. However, it takes time for the trap's weapons to trigger; enemies who move quickly across the trap may survive unscathed, as the weapons will not hit a creature which has moved off the trap.

 The previous 3 types of traps trigger when a hostile creature steps on them.  An upright spear/spike trap is different – it must be triggered externally to cause the spears or spikes to spring up or to recede back down.  Unlike the other traps, the spike trap ''does not discriminate between friend or foe'' – when the spears/spikes spring up, ''any'' creature on that tile will be subject to possible impalement by them.  Note that this trap only does damage [[Time|at the exact moment]] that the spikes spring up – once up, they do nothing (unless something falls on them from a height) until they come up again.

-Bogeymen have the powers to transform into animals, as well as to 'call upon the night' and summon other creatures – including more bogeymen!

More research needs to be done on the exact limitations of these abilities, and exact data is difficult to extrapolate due to summon interactions being both new and difficult to reverse engineer.

 One of the variations between the different tree species is in the [[weight]] and [[color]] of their [[wood]]. Weight is often a minor concern but when using wood to create objects that will be moved, such as [[bin]]s or [[bucket]]s, choosing lighter wood is an advantage as it will be [[haul]]ed faster. Heavier wood will make [[Training weapon|wooden weapons]] and [[siege engine]] projectiles more effective, while lighter wooden [[shield]]s reduce penalties to speed while blocking just as well as heavier shields.
-All types of wood have the same (low) value (beyond the [[preference]]s of individual dwarves), although the [[color]] of the wood may matter for aesthetic purposes. Some types of wood can be used for [[dye]]ing.

 . When water flows off the map edge or into an aquifer. (Water entering an aquifer vanishes from the map, since the aquifer can never become full, even if it's only a single tile). This type of flow returns from a map edge or an aquifer sink, giving the water the "flowing" quality. Water flowing off the map counts as flowing even at full 7/7 depth. This kind of flow is found in brooks, streams and rivers. Artificial water channels work just as well, as long as they flow off the map.
-A tile marked as flowing off the map will keeps this quality even if the water movement is later blocked. This is evident in that a dammed river will continue to power water wheels, even though the water is no longer flowing off the map. This works just as well for dwarf-made water channels, the flowing quality is so persistent that it will remain even if the area is completely drained and refilled, although while the tiles contain less than 4/7 water they won't power water wheels regardless.

 Adventure mode doesn't handle flowing water predictably. Water reactors may suddenly stop providing power each time the map is loaded in. Water won't regain flow status even as the minecart continues to dump fluid. Aquifer drains don't create flow. Even river water may become still after freezing and thawing. (Map edge drains don't have anywhere to drain, and may lead to [[Fun]] instead!)

-By default, the framerate is set to not exceed 100. This can be changed in the [[settings]] under game by editing “Game frames-per-second cap”, or in the [[init.txt]] file, under [[Technical_tricks#FPS|[FPS_CAP]]]. Increasing or disabling (``[FPS_CAP:0]``) this setting will allow a fortress to progress more quickly, though eventually there will be a maximum reached as a result of CPU speed limits. This also requires more attention from the player, since [[designation|designated jobs]] will be completed or cancelled more quickly, and potentially harmful events─such as wild animals, [[thief|thieves]], and [[ambush|invasions]]─will occur more frequently in a given span of real time.

 Decreasing the FPS cap will slow down the progress of a fortress, though it may be useful if the framerate undergoes large, rapid changes, as it will smooth out the play experience. It can also be useful to slow down the game in order to handle other activities while still allowing the fortress to complete previously assigned tasks, reducing the need to babysit the game.

-In previous versions, types and quantities of available soils were listed at the bottom right of the fortress location selection screen; in the current version, however, it will only indicate the presence of soil and whether it can be used as [[clay]].
+During embark, the currently selected region will display the amount of soil present (ranging from "Little" to "Some" to "Deep" to "Very deep" to "Extremely deep"), as well as whether any [[sand]] or [[clay]] are available for use.
 Digging into soil does not generate any byproduct materials, unlike digging in [[stone|rock]], and also is a much faster process which makes it much easier to create storerooms and other large areas of empty space, and to train [[miner]]s.

 The game has a total of 110 crops and 2 completely "wild" plants that can only be found in the form of [[shrub]]s — [[kobold bulb]] and [[valley herb]], as they have no seeds and can't be planted (see note "4", below). "Wet" and "Dry" determine where plants are found in proximity to watercourses when gathering wild plants, and do not affect farm plots.
