DF without therapist is like trying to calculate the square root of pi in your head.
On cocaine.
Seeing as I have never touched Dwarf Therapist, I must be able to do that!
...About 1-3/4!

Welcome to dwarf fortress.

May Armok guide you through the menus of this little asylum fortress simulator and back.

You will learn why you fear the night, learn why the trees are seen so lowly, and watch the countless slaughter of thousands of dwarves.

Welcome to dwarf fortress.

Little tip: In the future, when your forts are larger: If you have everything you need going, assign some dwarfs to the militia, you'll need 'em if you train and equip them properly. But that is not now.

Also, list of seemingly harmless creatures to fear: Keas, Hoary Marmots, ANYTHING WITH HOOVES, and Badgers. Any animal can interrupt dwarves' activities, though, most famously hoary marmots.


And finally, most of you're all wimps, No Dwarf Therapist here.
FIFY.

I have had this issue before with mining labors, my second miner at the start of the game sometimes not remembering to mine even though I have 2 pickaxes and the labor activated on both of them.
Sometimes I get that problem with ramps. They partially dig them and wander off, and then it takes a while for the job to be picked up again. Double-designating by using both ramps and channels leads to more consistent work, but then you get cancellation spam.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.
