what stage of dwarf fortress is manually designating every object made of wood that can be made of something else for dumping, purely because it's annoying to have to scroll past 20 different kinds of wood (instead of just all Copper). I don't buy wood things from traders anymore either (except logs to be burnt for glass products/charcoal)
I've sent a few raids but mostly pissed them off through trade. now they send ambushes from time to time and I just utterly slaughter them.
redid my reservoirs so everything doesn't go through the main one I need for drinking water.
the levers here are my main control room where nearly everything is controlled.
