I still move we discount those ones about the thread necro crap. But until then:

202. Disassembling buildings in an abandoned human town can lead to multiple fatalities because of either glitched floors constructs or just floor constructs you didn't notice. (two humans dead with a dying civ = "That's not good.")

203. be careful deconstructing stairs. That alunite block you used for the top part can easily turn into a near-lethal projectile that breaks two workers' limbs and results in them developing infections because they weren't seen to properly or quickly enough (and because all the soap was beign used for regular cleaning just as the hospital was finished.)

Which is why I have my cows as war trainable.

208. Shooting straight for the cavern is not always the best idea. (In my defense there were no trees or soil I could use above ground and I didn't bring logs.  Sadly getting to the caverns brought blind cave ogres.)
209.  Having a breeding pair of saltwater crocs and alligators then training all their offspring into war animals then assigning them into a cage and unleashing them on a siege is hilarious.
210.  The clean-up of all your chopped up croc bits is not, however.

I made a species of carniverous battleyaks because of the mess yaks caused once. I couldn't bring myself to slaughter four battle earned named yaks when I was running low on food. Sure one was missing a limb and another all its teeth but still.

211. Dyers can wreak havoc with your clothing industry because of how hauling works now.

Why did you post, I though this topic was dead, why?

The amount of malice in this thread is actually causing me some concern. I mean, chaining up mothers and forcing them to breed, just so we can drown their children to harvest their organs? Does this strike no one else as absolutely horrific?
You misspelled 'hilarious'

It was only inactive because nobody had anything new that they learned to share.

Although i suppose we could always continue posting to annoy you.
