For future reference, threads like this should probably go in DF Gameplay Questions

As for the question itself, No, you cannot currently dig in adventure mode, nor use any other non-military skill (save swimming I suppose). However, there are plans to implement all Fortress mode skills into Adventure mode at some point in the future.

Has that been confirmed? I thought it was a toss-up between improved sieges, adventurer skills, and the eternal suggestions stuff.

You forget bandaging and crutch walking. Also, it's possible to train mining in adventure mode if you fight enemies with a pick, but you can't actually mine, and it's basically just another weapon skill.

That would be kinda amusing... adventuring, out in some abandoned fortress, run out of booze... but there's bushes outside, so you gather some berries, dust off the delipidated still, and crank out some booze.  Adventurer saved by his farming background!

Making the cellar of your hunting lodge, tunneling to HFS, breaking into the ruins of your former fortress deep underground.... the list goes on.

In 40d, fighting a bunch of miners was pretty much certain death.

Dont like the look of the front gate of that fortress?
A legendary miner can dig you right down to basement in about a day. When goblins can do this to our fortresses, it will get real interesting.

I hope then we can fill it with rocks because I don't want a bunch of holes in my ground leading to my base...it'll start to get messy and I don't like messy..

Man, when(if) we get lighting then that would be pretty hard...I mean we probably won't know where they are going so they could come out anywhere...even in my bedrooms...eep.
