Her thoughts conclude "She is getting used to tragedy". Don't think I've noticed that before either.

I noticed that for the first time in one of my dwarves recently. I wonder if it's new.

Pretty sure it's at least been since the tavern release.
If she has enough trauma, it will instead say that she doesn't care about anything anymore.

i still haven't played fortress mode in 0.47, but i've definitely seen that before, so it's been around since at least 0.44.12.  and i'm pretty sure i saw it a lot during the earlier 0.44 releases when stress management was really bad

If you dig under a tree, the tile becomes above ground. Then a sapling may grow there.
But wait, if you cut down the tree, the sapling suddenly turns into a mushroom tree sapling.

Kobolds can become kings of dwarven civs, and, apparently, also necromancers.

Trying to generate a world with a long history and kobolds still around I made their civs much more prevalent than others. So after 1050 there was about 3000 kobolds alive. Checking legends I saw that one dwarf civ got two kobold kings, one after the other, and that the second one, after ten years of ruling became a necromancer, leaving his position as king. But that is no the end of the story, because after dying he was raised again (or maybe was victim to a experiment, i'm not sure) as a "Doren's eye".

And I was doubting they could even became members of other civs.

I've found a kobold who is part of a merchant company in one of the human towns and made themselves a profit with trading... I think it was beds. But yeah, kobolds can become part of civs, that's how you occasionally end up with the kobold option in adventurer mode. (Though, a part of me suspects that there aren't enough checks for whether they can speak during worldgen).

A new mother who gives birth while collecting materials for a strange mood will not pick up her newborn child.

Now I have a baby crawling around on the surface, near a stream.  What should I do?

Edit: things worked out.  I tried to build a wall around the baby, but she was moving too fast.  Then I tried to wall off the stream, but again, she moved too fast.

She somehow managed to crawl across a bridge without falling off, visited the upper dining room, and then crawled back out onto the surface toward the stream.

She almost managed to drown herself, but the mother completed her artifact and retrieved her infant.  Close call, but all is well.

... do i need to wonder what will happen if a mother gives birth while looking for materials for a fell mood, or is that obvious suddenly?

I’m thinking she might use the baby, but maybe babies are smaller and she would need more material and look for a larger dwarf for the required materials

I'm not sure whether fell moods choose their victim as soon as they claim a workshop, or if the victim can change while the fell mood dwarf is moving. I DO remember an old quote in which a mother made a pickaxe out of her one month old baby, so it can happen.

The wiki says they take over a butcher's or tanner's workshop and then immediately murder the nearest dwarf (including ghosts).  Whether that is true, or includes babies, including the dwarf's own babies, I do not know.

When that happens, you pretty much have to use that pickaxe to dig too deep.

You know how fluid pressure doesn't get transmitted through a diagonal opening?

It doesn't work if the diagonal opening is at the top.  Whoops.  Sorry Urist McDrowningdwarf.

Well it actually does, but the drop afterwards re-pressurizes the water.

I already wrote about this in another thread, but I am currently following the tale of a necromancer citizen who reanimated her wife after seeing her killed in front of him.

The wife is now one of the intelligent undead, unable to feel but apparently able to form relationships. Their marriage ended when the wife died and their mutual relationship was reset to "Friend" status, and I'm now trying to see if they remarry after some quality time in a honeymoon suite. At the moment both seem to hover in a weird inbetween state where they have thoughts about talking with their spouse and their friend, at the same time.

After a month their status has advanced from "Friend" to "Kindred spirit" but they haven't become lovers yet. I'll wait for a while to see if they manage to have any children despite their understandably very confusing relationship situation.
