An option in the work orders to automate mandate production fulfillment would be awesome.

I thought it was just minecarts that disappear from view when there's anything in them, but it's jugs (with honey) too. There's no sprite for them. They have no sprite in the stocks screen either if they're filled.

Even if you embark on a place which has sparse tree growth, in just a few game years it will be a dense jungle with how fast new trees spawn.

Is there any way to look at an item brought in a caravan?
Like, can I see what book or scroll I am buying?

The tigerfish in my river are breeding at an alarming rate.

Now normally, I would draft a marksdwarf and start shooting them.

But now that marksdwarves are broken, how can I get rid of the tigerfish without draining a river?

EDIT: Can ballistas / catapults hit a target in water?

EDIT: I suppose, with marksdwarves working after working around the bug, the question has become much less urgent.

I have my dwarves' time being consumed by the following loop:

Dwarf equips waterskin. Dwarf does whatever until... Dwarf takes a hauling job.. When the dwarf drops the job item it was hauling, it also drops the waterskin. Dwarf does some other stuff until.... Dwarf takes pickup equipment job.. Go to beginning of loop.

My uneducated guess is that the waterskin accidentally gets added to the checklist for a multiple pickup/drop command, like how it is with dwarves dropping off plants after a plant gathering job.

Now it isn't a constant thing, usually it's just one dwarf at a time (out of 10 military dwarves), the dwarves do take other jobs in between equipping the waterskin and dropping it again.

Note that my military squads are set to No Uniform, and they are all Off Duty, not sure if that matters.

EDIT: the waterskins are also filled with booze.  Perhaps booze has a plant tag that makes it egligeble for multi-drop? Just guessing here.

Could this be related to barrels and bags with plant-based materials (booze, seeds, plants) in them occupying the same tile in stockpiles, not adhering to the 1 item per tile rule?

EDIT2: I followed another loop closely, using the period key to see exactly what is happening.
The dwarf drops the waterskin exactly 1 tick after dropping the hauled item (in this case, a log of wood). The waterskin is dropped on the same tile as the log of wood.

I've noticed a few times in a row now that there's sheep wandering through my fort, even though they are assigned to my pen above ground. They do occasionally wander to the pen area, but don't stay put there. I *think* only the sheep that were born in the fort do this, not my original breeding pair.

Not sure if this is intentional or a bug.
Perhaps unintended leftover behaviour from back when you could allow or disallow animals in meeting areas?
