A bug that I noticed a long while ago, but haven't reported until now. When you generate a world and then start a Fortress game, the only kind of wood that any of the inital seven (I don't know about later immigrants) will be is whatever wood first appears in the matgloss_wood file. (This is Mangrove by default.)

It seems likely to be a RNG problem. I've had this occur on two different computers. (Three if you count running DF under Wine in Linux.)

Good catch.  Already documented.  See the dev notes.

I don't think it's an RNG problem, or we'd have other symptoms -- I'm pretty sure it'll be that the civilization associated to the incoming dwarves doesn't have material selections for trees but tries to force one, so the game struggles to comply.  I believe returning the first wood is what it does when it has no other option.  Although the starter dwarves *are* associated to one of the dwarven civs, so it's peculiar.
