« on: March 07, 2011, 01:43:00 am »

Did you take caverns out by any chance? You need at least 1 to have underground crops

Are there ANY dwarven crops available?  Do you find any shrubs when you dig down to breach a cavern?

Foolprooof way to penetrate aquifers of unlimited depth.  (Make sure to import at least 10 stones for mechanisms)
Toughen Dwarves by dropping stuff on them.  (Nothing too heavy though, and make sure to wear armor.)

Sometimes certain plants go extinct in world gen, so I've heard. Never had it happen to me before.

I have had high boots unavailable but never had a plant go extinct, my home land did have access to adimantium once and I could trade for it

From the description of the event, I think that your copy of Dwarf Fortress was on drugs when this happened. That's surely the only logical explanation for a human werewolf with deadly farts dying from it's own excrement after slaughtering some goblins comrades.

Did you mod something? If not, it's a bug.

yeah I cant remember what it was exactly but could trade for adimantium something becuase I was having troubles finding it when digging.  cant remember if it was ores wafers or some item,  I was such a newb at this game back than.  I do remember about 10 games latter going back through the trade depot frustrated looking at every item I could request for the stuff then reading the forums realizing that is not supposed to happen :/

It selected a different civ for you. For some reason that specific dwarf kingdom you started from had no plump helmets.

Ustxu Iceraped the Frigid Crystal of Slaughter was a glacier titan. It was the only one of its kind. A gigantic feathered carp composed of crystal glass. It has five mouths full of treacherous teeth, enormous clear wings, and ferocious blue eyes. Beware its icy breath! Ustxu was associated with oceans, glaciers, boats, and murder.

I've got about ten civilizations on embark, but only one has an inhabited fortress.
maybe starting with a dead civ causes your problem of no plumpies.
