450. Throwing rocks in the air with a bridgeapult will result in said rocks landing on the dwarf who pulled the lever.

451. Never assign a large area to be channeled.

Also why doesn't the poll above have an option for starvation/dehydration. Half my farmers usually sit around doing nothing even when all their labor is enabled untill we starve.

Are things forbidden?  Can they path to the appropriate areas?  Do you think you have buildings/farm plots, but they were destroyed by a creature with the building destroyer tag?

That last one brings me to...

452.  Always check to see if you still have butcher/tannery/farm plots etc after an invasion by creatures like Trolls.  Otherwise, you'll be curing your farmers for doing nothing when you've marked 20 pigs for slaughter.

Nothing is forbidden. Not the seeds, beer, food, nor even socks. There are paths enough to the areas with no forbidden doors or bridges. There are multiple plots, but only one is being used by the one farmer who has decided to work. I checked and nothing has been destroyed. I have even set the farmers to only have farming related and hauling preferences set. I set all the farming ones on in an attempt to get them to do something, but nothing happens.

453. Glass weapons are reletively cheap on resources and endless, but when you manufacture ten per trap, the value of your fortress will reach siege level before you've got the traps ready...

This may seem condescending, but you did remember to mark on the plots what crops to plant right? they won't plant if there's nothing scheduled for that season

Yes I did. They all have plants for every season, and there are more than enough seeds. Only one farmer dwarf is working, the rest aren't doing anything and aren't even saying that they are on break, just that they have 'no job.'

[Older Versions] To dig out escape ramps on ponds and lakes, especially in cold biomes.  I'm glad Toady added natural ramps.

454. Digging a death pit may results in unintended deaths.

Unintended? But it's a friggin' death pit!

455. Don't send a female miner down to open the caverns for FB-luring purposes. Her kids will retrace her steps and get eaten.

[Imperial Guardsman]

456. Sending a brand new migrant to kill a Roc before checking if they happen to be a legendary carpenter is bad.

Also remove HFS from the poll please.

[Hans Lemurson]

457.  Coffins, not matter how heavy their lid, do NOT prevent reanimated corpses from escaping.

[Larix]

458. For the purpose of export bans, it doesn't matter what the status of mandates was when the deal was made. What matters is whether or not the ban was in effect when the items left the map.

This sort of thing generally is caused by some kind of user error. Maybe next time this happens to you, save the fort (preferably while the farming area is on the screen), upload the (zipped) saved archive folder (e.g. to http://dffd.wimbli.com/ ) and ask people to take a look at it.
