Ok well i'm getting a few issues with my fortress

1. raw adamantine gets extracted from a crafts dwarf using strand extraction skill and choosing medal extraction my dwarfs wont grab the adamantine even tho i have that all set

2. Having a Caption of the guard set is suppose to allow to set up fortress guards but there's no setting for guards under pref for the dwarfs

3. Cant place things on top of my walls even tho i have the stairs and cant place things like beds outside.

I cant seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong?

[Tolisk]

Beds cant be placed outside, the military squad set to the captain will be the fortress guard, and raw adamantine should work unless you dumped, which needs to be claimed, and it needs craft dwarf shop if you used manager then check if it has been validated.

1. Try using the [j]ob [m]anager to set up a strand extraction job, and see if that goes through. Do you have dwarves with the strand extraction labor enabled?

2. You have to use the [m]ilitary screen to set up a fortress guard.

3. You should be able to build on top of walls, not sure what the problem is. Beds cannot be built outside, I think.

so for the guards i have to set up a squad with the caption leading and then set the dwarfs in his squad to guards?

With the walls thing ill have to look again what the error was it was something about not able to get materials or something

[Tolisk]

Oh, you gotta have a floor to place things on the side to, other wise you have no access errors.

[kardwill]

And you need to access that level. That requires 2 stairs : an "up" (or up/down) stair on the ground level, and a "down" or up/down)  stair just above.

[Tolisk]

Or use a ramp against a wall.

so for the guards i have to set up a squad with the caption leading and then set the dwarfs in his squad to guards?

No, you set your captain of the guard as squad leader of capt of the guard squad. Anyone added to this squad is automatically a fortress guard.
