By the way, does anyone have some tips on getting a sustainable food/booze supply and general fortress design and defense? I haven't played in a while and I feel like I'll die horribly fast.

Getting food is easy. Hollow out a nice-sized room in the dirt (but leave the roof on!) and build a farm plot in it, then use the "q" menu to set it to grow plump helmets. Plump helmets are the stock dwarven food: they grow reasonably fast, can be brewed, cooked, or eaten raw, and they're goddamned mushrooms, how can you not love them?
Defense is mostly up to the player. TBH I just line my 3 tile-wide entrance with dozens/hundreds of cage traps and let the invaders fill them, but certain rats won't trigger them and might require dogs chained up/some traffic to be revealed.

i've always only used farming for brewing and used masses of turkeys for food (eggs)
prepared egg biscuits usually end up going for like 5000+ with a well trained cook too, so they make a good trading item

Started playing recently, pretty fun game. But can traps be triggered by dwarves?
