The meat will not rot if it's in a food stockpile. Some stacks are too big to fit in barrels or pots (pots have a bigger capacity).

About the moody dwarfs, did they collect any building materials?
There is the "showmood" command in DFhack that will tell you what they need. I'm not aware of a bug with saving during moods.

So i am wondering if it is normal they do die so often ? Did i miss something important ?  Is there a bug when having a dwarf in strange mood, saving game, reloading game later and mood disapear but dwarf remain stuck ?

I don't know of any bug like this, but I suppose it's possible.

Is there a menu somewhere who display what is the dwarf needs about his strange mood ? Because when i go in unit list and select him (my current stuck dwarf) it show nothing special, and viewcrew  doesn't talk about it, he is just miserable.

When the dwarf claims a workshop, [q] over that workshop to see him list what he needs. You can then [t] over it to see what he has already gathered.

i have a lot of meat who are lying on the floor in my large food stockpile, wondering if they can rotten there? i have a ton of empty barrels in my furniture stockpile, why dwarfs don't take more barrels to food stockpile ? (food stockpile is set to max barrels and furnitures are set on 0 barrel)
It is only "Wren" meats who are on the floor, it's a bug maybe ? wren meat might don't belong to barrels storage like other meats?

Food doesn't rot when in a stockpile. Having meat in barrels does nothing to prevent rot, as far as I know.

I see, next time a strange mood happen i will remember about checking workshop and what he gathered, i probably did not have all the materials required if sometimes they have special needs.
I also installed DFHack and tried strange mood, seems to work, unfortunatly shows my dwarf don't have any strange mood actually so it's probably too late for him.

The meat stacks are all 16 or 17, don't know the barrels capacity but might be 15 or less i guess glad to know food won't rot

Thanks i guess now i should be able to get more artifacts and less fun

If a dwarf-sized race is created that lives in human-style towns, will they operate shops?

Will those shops sell dwarf-sized equipment?

[Trif]

They will be shopkeepers, but they will sell human-sized stuff.

Is it worth training my military in hand-to-hand while I make weapons for them? Or are the skills non-transferable?

IMO, time spent in Wrestling is never wasted.

They will also train other combat skills like Fighting, so that's good. They will just not train a weapon skill, but everything else is useful too.

Are ballistas worthwhile?

Are ballistas worthwhile?

Depends on what you want to do with them and if you handle them right. People tend to forget that siege operators are civilians and will flee, you have to set up your siege engines accordingly. Best check the wiki about siege engines.

I'm starting to get around the 65 dwarf mark and wondering if I should let my Recruits dabble in other things or turn off all of their other skills. Does it make a dwarf unhappy to just train and protect battlements back and forth without having other things that it does?

A military dwarf who goes back to civilian mode will get a bad thought if it has no civilian skills above dabbling.
Dwarves will also get bad thoughts for being in militia mode for an extended period of time, but these are unavoidable and very minor; don't worry about them.

I just got a strange message in the announcements.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 It said: "Blind Demon is no longer enraged.
Is it possible some demons in the underworld just randomly got enraged?

[Garath]

If there is a forgotten beast in the caverns fighting with some of the locals (animal people usually) you'll get anouncements like this

[Edmus]

There are five deceased of the things in my units list.
