The Greatest Threat to Dwarfkind (40.xx)?

The title rather says it all, what in your opinion is the biggest danger to fortresses in the current edition? Other than us of course.

Stages of DF Ideas:
How do the mechanics for this work?
How can I weaponise it?
How can I add magma?
How can I weaponise it?
How can I automate it?

Boredom. The greatest danger of all is pure boredom, since my last two forts to pass a hundred dwarves had no ambushes, sieges, or anything, despite being past millions of wealth.

Also, if you've got wooden furniture in the dining hall, you have some big issues anyways.
This is Dwarf Fortress, not the Fluffy Wambler Express.

I can't choose between the new emotion system, lack of sieges and FPS death. Probably all three.

Well even with plenty of sieges it is still boring. Now in order to have more fun you need to give yourself some rules and limits.
Personally I don't like seeking troubles, like provoking the clowns. Isn't DF meant to have plenty of unexpected fun?


Edit*

Back to the topic, I think FPS death is really a thing nowadays.

I can't remember the last time I abandoned a fort due to anything other than fps death, boredom, or suicide provoked by boredom (This fort's going nowhere, lets take a trip to the circus!)

Welcome to Dwarf Fortress. Where peaceful death of old age is something nobody sees coming.
it turns out Dog Bone Doctors aren't very good at doctoring.

Last fort I lost was to weremammoths. I haven't played that many forts in .40.
