I didnīt watch the dwarves doing it, but while a dusting/pile of mud is left in the bathtub, they did clean the blood, the water is clean again...

I've just opened a cavern with lots of bodies inside. Now I had to dig a little breach to allow my miner to come back out, however several dwarves went to retrieve some body parts before I could close the cavern again. I immediately gave the order to "ignore bodies", but they went on anyway. How can I make them stop instantaneously? Forbidding everything in the caverns (and undo after closing the breach)? Any other method?

In the "U"nit screan, you should have a "cancel job" button.

If that doesn't work then use a Civilian Alert.

...But I don't understand why cave moss doesn't grow?...

Did the spore contamination mechanic changed my any chance? Or is there additional prerequisite than simply breaching the caverns that I don't know about?

I popped the caverns and stuff started to grow everywhere almost immediately.

Did you mod anything?

Will a retracted or raised bridge be destroyed by a cave in falling through the space it occupies in the non-retracted state?

How do you get growths off of whole plants? For example, how do I take strawberries off of the strawberry plant? Also, how do I check what version I have? I downloaded dwarf fortress with a mod.
Edit: Also, 2 of my dwarves are not feeling anything about good things happening to them. They include a miner and an axedwarf. Why is this?

Yes.

Your dwarves will automatically harvest one of the usable products of a crop. If they choose to pick the plants and discard the berries there's currently nothing you can do about it (except remove the [EDIBLE] tag from the strawberry plant in the raws).

Also, how do I check what version I have?

The version number is shown in the lower right corner of the title screen (e.g. "v0.40.24").

Edit: Also, 2 of my dwarves are not feeling anything about good things happening to them. Why is this?

Emotions are influenced by personalities... some dwarves are just prone to gloom and doom. You can coddle them with "safe" jobs to minimize their negative thoughts, or just recruit them to "welcome" the next uninvited guest.

Is there way to sort out sand in stockpiles? I am unable to find it in any menu.

How to increase the amount of text shown in a menu?

I'm trying to make a trifle pewter block, and the text is cut off so the options are indistinguishable. Using TrueType didn't make a difference.

<Tab> can increase the size of the side menu. If you still can't see all the text, you can use the manager interface to assign the correct job.

Tab worked! Everything is awesome!

Why are my dwarves so fast? They have mined out a lot, and it is only midsummer. I do not remember dwarves being do fast in 0.34. Are they running, now that running has been implemented, or have I just forgot the speed of dwarves?

[Arx]

Dwarves dig sand quickly, that might be it.

[conein]

When they mine sand and clay they are pretty fast, when they mine other stuff they aren't.

[someone12345]

They have been mining in sand some, but mostly in stone. One of my miners is now legendary, and it is only early autumn.

So i read that a champion will train my military.
But how does it exactly work? Does the champion need to be in a squad?
