Wuuuuuuuuuut??????

You can build farms on muddied constructed floors?! That never worked before! The Megadorf needed cast obsidian to make farms! This changes everything!
Those have been built just on terrain, I forgot to put them over some hole. Or it maybe was in that muddy ice :D

EDIT: build some floors from highwood on side of my walls, so there is now one level of clear terrain under them. After I dropped water on them from higher walls I was able to construct farm plot there. And it is spring now so it was neither in terrain floor under it or in muddy ice. It just works.

Magma makes the crops taste better.

Is there any chance of having offsprings between two different units of animal/animal people/giant animal?

Yak hair thread isn't being made into cloth. They're flat-out ignoring it and saying there isn't any, when there's workshop nearby full of it.

Elves do it in trees. Humans do it in wooden structures. Dwarves? Dwarves do it underground. With magma.

That's a big annoyance of mine. You can use it as a suture material guaranteed not to get yoinked to make cloth, but it has no stockpile category associated with it. So you have to manually dump it into your hospital then reclaim it.

So, it just can't be made into cloth at all?

Nope. Like I said, it still has a use, but it's a big pain in the ass to make use of.

Unless you've got a whole lot of unweavable large animal hair (yak, etc.) you can just let it sit inside the workshop.  If it starts to accumulate to the point that it's slowing work, then you can dump it.

Hair thread can be used to bind books and suture wounds.  You can also dye it or sell it, but not make it into cloth.

They're ALSO refusing to spin regular cloth. There's a mood hung up by a lack of it, and they're flat-out saying there isn't any when there IS. It's not forbidden, just not being used.

Also, how do I get them to actually engrave slabs? I'm getting similar errors of there being a load of them about and yet the craftsdwarf refusing to acknowledge their existence.
Meanwhile, A GHOST HAUNTS THE FORTRESS. Unhelpful!

Sounds like you have some problems with stockpiles, or burrows, or pathing (ramps?)....

No burrows, no ramps inside the fortress. The stockpiles could be the problem, considering there's issues with seeds making it to the farms as well.

My stockpiling systems always used to work in previous editions. I don't know what's so wrong with them now.

I cannot add labors to my initial dwarves after embark, I saw an error at some point that said something to the effect of "cannot add labors for non-citizens". What event has to occur for my dwarves to become citizens?
-Just realized I can add labors in DF but not in Dwarf Therapist.
