I have had an IMMENSE climb in the number of immigrant brats I get.  I can only guess it's from among the following things:

-pure chance
-somehow messed with something in the raws, despite not even touching the raws for dwarves
-settling on a one-huge-landmass map instead of one with two or more split-up landmasses

Send help.  And by "help," I mean "goblin snatchers and hungry dingoes".

You can target critters in cages with interactions.  hunh

I was looking for that 'selling dwarves' thread but I now suspect it got nuked . . .

You can sell zombies that were considered tame.  I dont know if that applies to full zombies or animals, or the conditions of their death/undeath, but the hair is in a cage in the depot, and will get sold by me.

Training dummies are hard to come by, especially nigh invincible ones that can take an infinite number of bolts and can't hurt newbie soldiers

But they sell for full price   You butcher the critter, cook the meat, cage it in a wooden/cheap cage and sell it!
Also if you can make one you should ba able to make more.

I've got a nice military. Legendary in most combat skills, nearly full adamantine armor, all superior or masterwork quality. Lately nothing's been attacking me, so they've been enjoying civilian life. I've got a surplus of bars and am constantly getting strange moods, so I assigned armorsmithing duties to a couple soldiers in hopes of getting some artifact adamantine armor next mood. Now, keep in mind they had no metalsmithing skill. They were, however, grand master armor users. Both times, their first piece of armor was masterwork. At Dabbing skill, a frigging masterwork. After that they made the usual low quality crap.

Not sure if this actually means anything or is just an odd coincidence.

Eyes have tears coating them now. Was that always a thing?

Only when the critter is upset.  Its actually supposed to represent emotional trauma.  Or physical, but then again . . .

[Arx]

Huh. I checked their status when I saw the tears, but they didn't seem particularly unhappy at the time. Mostly fond and satisfied.

[pisskop]

In early versions of this, the critter would get upset about death and never unwind.  Leading to eventual suicide.  Even and especially in adventurer companions.

Its part of the emotional overhaul, and hopefully gets perfected.

I think they were annoyed about the rain too, so that's probably it.

It's irritating that your dwarves can start out grouchy if it's raining when you arrive. Quite a rocky start to a nice camping trip.

In my own worlds, I found that brook tiles (the ones above the brooks) move around water.  I had a waterfall-brook, and sensibly dammed the half I didn't need for my frames.  The bottom half drained of the map, and there are leftover 1/7 water tiles remaining, getting shuffled around by the brook tiles.  Im considering removing them or putting roads or floor over them, to see if that stops the effect.

I wonder if this would work on magma too, like if one managed to isolate a brook section and replace all the water. Could be a reliable way to control when ice thaws out in freezing climates.

...I'mma try it.

Just tried in a fortress game. A donkey zombie is as expensive as a real donkey.

Merchant: Hmmm, the donkey looks a bit odd.
Broker: He's a good donkey. He just has a bad temper (it's true).

While hauling a rotten corpse, it is possible that the corpse changes into a skeleton. This will cause job cancellation since it is not the same item anymore.
