When your mason stands on the square he is going to build a wall on and complains about there being a creature on the build site

Eh, I actually don't find that one that annoying. I think the umbrella of 'Dwarves suck at putting on armor' is much more obnoxious.

I have to agree with UG on this one, it makes equpping standing army a real pain in the ass.

I get pretty irritated with the wall building bug.  Often times I'm trying to seal off a cavern *quickly* and Urist McMiner is jacking around either building it while standing on the wrong side of the wall, or finding out he can't build a wall under his feet.  Even after I use a few tricks to get around it (building another wall and suspending construction) I find I have to just browbeat it until it works.  WTB bug fix thx.

It may not be a "bug" perse, but the fact that the truetype font doesn't work correctly bugs (pun unintended) me quite a bit.

I just... I just can't use the other font... My poor eyes...

The deconstruction bug bothers me the most, because it often causes building jobs to be cancelled entirely.

Another option for cavern sealing: dig a channel between two walls, remove the ramps, and carve an access ramp on the fortress side. Repeat as necessary. It doesn't cut off LOS, but it does stop the nastier cavern creatures from walking in.

All the silliness with armour for me too. That and the god-awful hive-cancellation-spam one.

I am getting the most annoying bug atm

I am mining normally across one z level with no channeling, minecarts, or any way of cave ins and my miners keep getting hit by 'spinning objects' from an entity named "    " (literally a missing name)

I just had five miners die this way. What is the deal? this has never happened before but this past week it seems to of happened all the time

minecarts can run people over on the level below sometimes.

also the "  " hitting them, i get it when a body hits something



The most annyoing for me is when people move the plump helmet bag my farmer has designated for planting

There are no minecarts here. Also, if I recall correctly, it's only dropped minecarts that are capable of hitting creatures through solid floor.

What message are you getting exactly? "The spinning   strikes the miner in the <whatever>, <insert injury here>!" ? If you zoom to the place the announcement was generated, where is it exactly?

That's a good tip actually.  Usually my cavern interaction only involves tapping one for water, so most of the time I hit the cavern from above while digging a staircase after which I remove the upward staircase, dig an alternate route, and build a wall between the two.  The only real danger in that situation is a flier getting in should I not be paying attention.  The speed at which this needs to be done is quite often only self-imposed.

Deconstruction bug, definately.  But that's because I'm building and tearing down alot.

If I was into militarys the armor spam would bug me to death.

Equipment issues. Everything else can be worked around/avoided, but dwarfs not wearing their armor is really annoying.

idk how he message went exactly but by it seems as if the miners are getting hit by the same rocks they are mining. For instance, I am mining obsidian and I will get messages that my miners are getting hit by spinning obsidian rocks
