Does the Steam version of Dwarf Fortress have a screen where you can see all the religions that have followers in your fortress? The only way I've been able to find to get that information is to designate a zone as a temple. Also, basically the same question for guilds. I have a hard time keeping track of who has asked me to build what for them.
- they/them
I live in Portland and sometimes I make video games if I can find somebody who will pay me to do it.

also:
The road didn't work, even after I replaced the stairs at the entrance with a ramp. The next caravan still said the depot was inaccessible. They did show up on the other side of the map from where I built the road... do I need to account for that? How am I supposed to know where people will arrive from? If the road isn't the problem, maybe the problem is inside the fortress, but the depot is right near the entrance and they should have enough room to get to it. I'm at a loss.
That dwarven child is continuing to throw tantrums. This time she destroyed a still. It's getting a bit irritating. I've considered setting up a justice system so she can get put in jail, but that doesn't seem like a great solution. I don't know what else I can do to prevent tantrums other than trying to make them happy by giving them a really nice bedroom or something.
Oh yeah -- I've read in a few places on the wiki that you should put artifacts out for dwarves to admire to give them happy thoughts. But whenever I leave artifacts out, they get stolen. So what am I supposed to do.
I'm having trouble making stuff out of cloth. Most of the time when I create a task at the clothier, it gets immediately cancelled saying that it needs unused cloth. But I have plenty of cloth in the bins in my stockpile. I thought maybe I was just confused about which type of cloth I needed, but I have dozens of cloths that are clearly labeled "giant cave spider silk cloth," yet if I try to make something out of silk cloth, it gets cancelled. What am I doing wrong?
How do you keep dwarves from wandering around outside unnecessarily? Mine keep getting attacked by agitated animals, especially dwarven children when they're playing make believe. I'd still like them to be able to go outside if they need to for a job, but I don't want them just hanging out out there.
Also, I built a meeting area when I started my fortress, but it was pretty small and now it's getting very crowded. So I built a bigger one elsewhere, but nobody uses it; they still hang out in the old one. Do I just have to un-designate the old one or is there a way to get them to spread out into both?
