I've started using a "mass cage" for animals to help with FPS but how do I "uncage" individual animals from the "mass cage"?

[Fleeting Frames]

Unassign them from the cage and assign to a pasture/pit/rope individually.

I built two barracks, one aboveground and one below. My idea was to have the squads alternate months training underground and aboveground to avoid cave adaptation while protecting both the surface and deep fortress.

Now that I'm trying to schedule it, I'm suddenly not sure that's actually possible. Can you schedule training at a specific barracks, or are your only options "any assigned barracks" or "none"?

I know I could just keep manually reassigning which barracks are available for training for which squads but that's a huge pain in the butt.

I'm not sure. I personally use a Mixed order like:
Train, 6 minimum
Station at Cavern Entrance, 4 minimum

The live training of the cavern should suffice.
(Defend burrows might protect the cavern better, but I've already lost enough dwarves to climb-exhaust-drowning. Maybe swim training would mitigate it. As I recall, a certain level of swimmer prevents drowning even while unconscious.)

Can you prevent cave spider bites with a full suit of armor (not of the giant variety)? I wanted to make a silk farm with regular cave spiders but I didn't really want silk spinners being bitten and having to make sure that silk spinner never got x job in the future.

How do I re-enable the remove construction (d-n)?

The job of removing a floortile somehow got cancelled and turned red. How do I restart the job? I can't seem to remove it.

I'm running 42.06.

Turned red implies that what you're looking at is instead a floor that only exists because of a constructed wall underneath it, not a constructed floor. Try building something there.

Don't I feel stupid. Thanks!

The outpost liaison played with dwarves in the tavern and left with the only Farash in the fortress.

Is there a workaround to keep instrument from theft?

When in doubt, build stationary instruments instead. o3o

Thanks, that's great idea!

Do visitors count towards the "danger meter" of the site?

I have an undead siege around (arrived first year), but visitors keep coming and standing on map edge to get killed by zombies, it's already over 2 pages of deceased humans. I am really low on dwarfpower, 7 starting + 3 migrants, and wonder if I will get more migrants or should I just abandon and not wait it out.

Can necromancers raise clowns? I've noticed them going in the corpses stockpile and I can't butcher them.

Pretty sure clowns have the NOT_LIVING tag to make them un-raisable, so you should be safe.

No more clown roasts then.
