Getting sent on an exploration or raiding mission counts as community service in the dwarven justice system. At the same moment when the criminal dwarf exits the map, their sentence turns into "No Sentence Pending." This status will remain after the dwarf comes back from the mission.

That should proooobably be reported as a bug. Maybe.

Honestly given the high chance of death, getting lost, or being captured by enemy forces, it sounds more like an actual valid "punishment" of sorts.

EDIT: So apparently material emission attacks can be fired through vertical bars. I learned something new today.

I'm just exploiting the hell out of it by sending all production order violators on exploration missions to a completely harmless cave nearby. Take that, queen Onol "I like amulets, flasks and low boots" Strokemined!

Apparently, if you have sand in your biome, you can create sand areas on any floor tile underground by dropping water on a floor tile so it gets mud, building a farm plot, then deconstructing the farm plot. Will probably work with clay as well.

Very useful when you're setting up magma glass smelters or magma kilns down by the magma sea. Just have sand or clay collected on site.

The soil generated depends on bottommost soil in the given biome, so it's somewhat situational.

Edit: Seems mud man mud isn't entirely useless after all:

It's a bit of a pity that unretiring is so buggy, because there's a bunch of cool things that can be done through hybrid play. I've for example noticed that when I got an assignment from the sheriff as member of the fortress guard, and then later unretired the fort, the mission she assigned in adv-mode was in the mission screen...

That's amazing, screenies?

Nope, sorry, didn't think of it at the time. (I was too busy with rep-research)

But the steps to get it are...

• make fort, be sure to set a sheriff(might require a fortress guard, not sure) with a little sheriff's office(other wise it'll be a pain to find them back)
• make hearthsperson at fort.
• talk to sheriff and ask assignment.
• retire adventurer in fort(or elsewhere, mine just died on the assignment)
• unretire fort, look at mission screen. (In my case, the fortress guard squad was set to kill the spouse of the nighthorror, Ast, who was the cousin of my sheriff, hence I got the assignment in advmode)

I am somewhat curious as well whether creating an mission but not sending out a squad will make it possible for adventurers to receive that mission, but I am already spread a little thin with reputation and the remainder of the books science.

Looking around with 'k' I see "Fire" but no smoke or anything.  It turns out "Fire" is a peregrine falcon man parchment scroll.  A manual concerning the classification of combustible materials.

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.

Windmills have implied floor on center tile:

The goblin hammerman corpse left foot is stuck on top of it and won't fall down.

Means they're impassable to non-building destroyers, now, when combined with 44.05 downward stairway change.

If only kids did that in real LIFE...

Those are some expensive toys

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.
