If a hidden ambusher happens to be unconscious when discovered, the announcement reads "There is a [creature] hidden away here." instead of the usual "A [creature] has sprung from ambush!"

That makes sense since unconscious entities can’t really s[ring from ambush

This is probably something I should have learned years ago, but constructing down stairs on a natural floor allows things to pass downward...but deconstructing them doesn't leave a hole. The floor remains intact.

If you somehow manage to get a carved stair tile designated for smoothing (the only way to do that that I know of is designating smoothing before designating stair carving and managing to create a situations that causes the stairs to be finished before the floor is smoothed), pretty much the same thing happens.

currently on 44.09, it doesnt work anymore, but on 44.06 or something, i accidently removed already carved stairs by smoothing the area.

At least underground, if you pour magma on top of a "wall underneath" floor, then obsidian cast, then dig-- it will resurface the area.
You can then use the "Mud + cave fungus + road" trick to transform the cast obsidian cavern floor into cavern soil floor.

So uh



apparently dwarves can worship a lot of stuff at once now.

He really doesn't want to risk with that Pascal's wager.

I have a issue report up for this here prophets like to walk around even when they're not supposed to as atheists and make up crackpot religions on the spot which catch on quick.

So I had an injured dwarf recover in a hospital. Weird finding: the moment he recovered, he instantly got married and was adopted by a cat.

Is this a known feature?

[Stormfeather]

"Urist darling, thinking I was losing you made you realize just how very much you meant to me. Let's get married!"

"Great! Let's get a cat!"

Don’t know where else to stick this, but I found a God with the spheres Cnildren, birth, pregnancy, creation, rebirth, and death. Her name is Ibruk the funeral of passions; a name of many possible interpretations courtesy of the Randon Number God.

Huh, sounds like a norse god. They often had spheres close to death and life like that.

[doublestrafe]

I found a deity that had two separate entries with slightly different spheres, depending on which dwarven civilization was worshiping it. I seem to recall that it appeared to one as a male dwarf, and as a female to the other.

Are you sure it wasn't just a coincidence with two deities of the same name?

[RipOffProductions]

on the subject of interesting gods, looking at legends I've fond that the humans of my world have a Goddess of Love, a Goddess of Lust, and a God of Romance, Family, and Speech... I know love is complicated, but holy hell I don't think it needs to be that complicated.

also the Goddess of Festivals is also the Goddess of Deceit, Lies, and Trickery... so she's a carnie?

and in another world I generated I found "Nish eritharros(Laborthrows)", who was among the first dwarfs, and became necromancer in the year 16.
among her many authored works(her entire history between the 40s and late 500s is nothing but "authored/created/stored [title here]", broken up by the occasional failed attempt to threaten law enforcement to ignore her activities) the most frequent topic seems to be her own necromancy tower, though books about her hometown/base of operations of Bendgirders and untitled works are also pretty common:
