I lost my initial three miners due to a stairwell planning accident -- they were all trapped underground with no stairwell back up. Since they refused to construct up/down stairs or ramps, I abandoned and re-took the area.

So my next batch of FUN came when I reclaimed the fort, and began unForbidding stuff. Lost six dwarves to a skelletal alligator, but what's worse is I've got a question: Is there any way to mark stuff for reclaiming without just looK/unForbid? Like can I do it from a list mode type thing?

So while my last guy is hauling stuff, suddenly I get a message about job cancelled, location inaccessible. Huh? I scroll back to the fort, and the entire fort is filled in! It's like no one dug there in the first place. Since he was a miner, I set him to work re-clearing out the entrance area, and when I hit where the farm plots used to be, they were still there. Just the farm plots and the kitchen and still. The dining room didn't exist, or any of the halls, or storage rooms.

Wierd.

Mass-unforbidding items by their type should be possible from the stock menu. Z -> stocks -> check out the F -letters

Maybe other dwarves moved in and killed themselves in a cave in?

are you sure it isn't just unexplored?
sometimes the fort will have a fog of war over it and you will have to explore it like caverns in order to map it out.
