They will automatically stop training when they see an attacker. Let the squad train on the training-ground. Then put a training-ground right there - no guard station, no patrol routes. Enclose all the pastures and farms you have around and pick one spot, which is the entrance.If you have thousands of raw granite for example, and don't want it, because you have something better, you can give it to the merchants. If there is a merchant in the market stall, you can eliminate all dirt, whether is is stockpiled or not, by trading it to the merchant in return for nothing.Gnomes now use items that can be piled (dirt, stone, straw, etc) to pick up similar items while stocking.This is no longer needed after v0.9.15:.Then delete the stockpile, and the whole 64 pile of dirt will be moved in one go the main dirt stockpile (meanwhile make sure the main stockpile has lower priority than the 1x1 ones, or is suspended). The gnomes will fill it up with 64 dirt quite fast since it's so near. Too much dirt hauling going on? Make a 1x1 dirt stockpile in the middle of all the dirt.The general rule is the more crafting steps involved, the better it is. Foods from worst to best are: meat, fruit/egg, bread/sausage, sandwich/omelette. Drinks form worst to best are: water, milk, wine/beer/tea. Some foods and drinks are more effective than others (i.e.

If you want to remove all that clay from the floor of your mines, a quick way is to designate the entire area as an underground farm.This also works when trying to make a well for an emergency thirst quencher. Trying to make a moat but there is no water on the map? Make a bunch of 1x1 holes and let them fill up with rainwater.To see Ores, try digging a Stair Down, the selection box is red when it is over ores. To 'see' caverns, try designating a whole level for mining, the selection box will be red in open spaces.Not enough flat space under sunlight for farms and pastures? Build a Stairs up, then build a big dirt Floor on the new, higher level (the one the stairs lead to).

It takes more time, but the reward of not having stuck gnomes is worth it.

To avoid this, select only the edge blocks of the area, wait until they remove them, then select the next strip. Gnomes will mine themselves into a corner and be stuck on a single block.

Gnomes stuck on a single block: This occurs frequently when using the Remove Floor command.

Just make sure there are no trees or plants that haven't been cut down or harvested. Dig 'ramps down' and highlight the entire area you want leveled.

You can level large areas by working from the top of a hill or mountain downward.

The end result will be the same, and your gnomes won't get stuck.

Gnomes getting stuck when digging Holes? Dig 'ramps down' instead.
