done. --Koltom 20:54, 12 March 2008 (EDT)


What's the exact process behind milking a Purring Maggot? I managed to bag one in an animal trap, but milking jobs fail if it's inside an animal trap in the stockpile or a built cage. Does it need to be tamed by the Dungeon Master first?

You need a purring maggot, either inside a trap or a cage; you need a farmers workshop; you need a bucket. If you have all three of these things, the milking should proceed. Supposedly, taming the purring maggot makes it unmilkable, but I haven't done that yet (though I have successfully milked one). The milk goes into the bucket, which can then get emptied into a barrel (if you want to milk multiple maggots, I suggest having one barrel and a few buckets). Vaniver 22:44, 26 February 2009 (EST)

Does anyone know if it's possible to combine pieces of dwarven milk to make a larger stack of it? Vaniver 23:10, 26 February 2009 (EST)


Could somebody tell me what a meatsheild is?--CrazyMcfobo 19:24, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

  • Er, a meatshield is a shield (i.e. something that blocks attacks) made of meat (i.e. a living creature). In other words, being all but useless, you use them to take damage from foes (and probably get killed in the process) so that your other dwarves don't get hurt as much. --Quietust 14:31, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
