Wagons used to be their own special kind of wood.  Now days they all seem to be pear wood.

You're probably mistaking the lowly embark wagon building with the majestic roaming wagon. Only the roaming kind are actually alive and made of wagon wood.

Oh.  I guess that explains it.  Why won't their wagon move?  Because its dead.  It has lost the mystical spark, the soul, the wagon that makes it and all things alive.

I could have sworn someone modded the embark wagon into moving, though.  A small change caused it to dump all its contents and start attacking people and groundhogs before it caught on a rock and was scuttled.

I accidentally (I swear) scuttled a handful of wagons with a mist generator near my trade depot.  The game let me engrave slabs for them.

Impossible without DFHack, and probably nearly impossible with it. The embark wagon is a building, not a unit; wild wagons are units, not buildings.

And of course now that I said that, I'm thinking, "A wild Wagon appears!"

I remember now...  They modded the trader's wagons.  They went crazy when the caravan appeared.

Where was this?

The wagon thread, probably. Experiments with Wagonmancers/Wagonurges (don't even ask) tended to prove that absolute power of wagons is absolute power to kill.

used dfhacks embark everywhere option to embark.. on a previousely retired fort, with the 5x5 playing grid moved 1 tile north and 1 tile east of the original. it let me, as expected.. but what I saw..

Apparently every single merchant/wagon that ever came to visit the old fort.. was there, as well as the diplomats, and all the old dwarves, and the historical animals created through them killing stuff. all the old dwarves listed as hostile but did not attack. then a number of old dwarves, merchants, a diplomat and a named giant cave spider decided to go hang out around my wagon in peace.

A few minutes later the game crashed.

What really surprised me were the fact that the merchants had all been recorded, they were all carrying items as well. But any of the previous invaders and thieves were not there.

I would love to play as a wagon.

Automine will, as it happens, order miners to dig warm stone. Especially when that stone is the only thing in between your magma forges and the, er, magma.

But if you try to move...

The life of a wagon is short and tragic.

Tree roots create an aquifer-less area in the next level underneath them. This hole in the aquifer will stay even if the tree is cut down.

If you want to talk to someone in battle/conflict, boast of your violent deeds. This will make a prper conversation take place.

Hey that's actually useful occasionally.

In adventurer mode, when you have an infection, 'Give in to Starvation' is replaced with 'Succumb to Infection'.

Just found that in fortress mode barrels dropped into water will fill with water.

That could be a really interesting way of breaking through aquifers. Now we can "grow" through them. :O
