 [[Trap]]s are a great way to protect your fort from small groups of attackers.  When designing your fort, think about where you want to place traps.  Choke points at major entrances (including entrances to the [[caverns]]) make good trap locations. However, be warned that some enemies are immune to traps....

 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 are by far the smallest of all night creatures (save transformed small creatures), ranging from 10,000 cm³ to 20,000 cm³, making the largest bogeymen only as big as a [[kobold]]. However, this doesn't mean they should be underestimated; all bogeymen possess Expert [[skill]] in [[wrestling]], [[Combat skill|biting, fighting, striking, kicking, dodging]] and [[Observer|observing]], on top of being one of the most agile types of creature in the game, which makes them exceptionally hard to hit. Bogeymen can [[Amphibious|breathe underwater]], [[No Exert|feel no exertion]], [[No Stun|cannot be stunned]] and are [[No Pain|immune to pain]], nausea, dizziness and fevers. Bogeymen need no food, water or sleep to survive, nor do they need to breathe, meaning they cannot be drowned or strangled. Interestingly, their raws also reveal an [[Trapavoid|immunity to traps]], the ability of [[building destroyer|destroying buildings]] and a [[pet]] value of 2,000.

-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.

 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.

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, potentially more quickly than the player can react to them.
 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.

 Another thing that can be done with a captured giant cave spider is turning it into a [[pet]]. They possess a pet value of 2,500, making them the most valuable animals in the game that aren't cave dragons or megabeasts. It's wasteful to simply [[butcher]] them for meat, as multiple spiders can be captured and bred in order to create a very formidable [[fortress defense]] force. The spiders are born adults and as such cannot be turned fully tame, but a skilled [[animal trainer]] will ensure they never revert into hostility.

 Most plants can be brewed into [[alcohol]], each plant type producing a different variation, and dwarves do prefer ''some'' variety in their drink. Some plants may be eaten raw, others must be cooked first, others must be processed (by [[milling]] or [[thresher|plant processing]]) before they are edible, and still others are inedible, producing only non-food products (their seeds may be edible, though). Drinks may be cooked as ingredients in prepared meals, but at least one of the ingredients must be a non-liquid.
