Human grand treasurers may arrive at your fort and negotiate trade agreements. Sometimes.

Trufax.  I have had it happen.  I don't know if this is mod-related because I had never had humans negotiate a trade agreement before.

I got it in an unmodded but bugged world. Seemingly random layer distribution (sedimentaries below gabbro), random crashes, unloadable save after something happened.

Humans have been sending intermittant trade negotiators since the update last february, in my experience.

I found a surprisingly useful feature.

Roots of a tree can spawn twigs and fruits of the tree around them if there's space. You can in principle access fruit trees from below the tree, without putting a dwarf in danger or walling off the tree.

So can you like dig a massive pit just under the tree (while sparing the roots) that goes to your food stockpile to automate fruit picking for, say, cherries?

I think so, but the twigs with the cherries have to grow first and picking fruit from a tree seems to be a bit buggy if no step ladder is involved. I'll test a bit more.

So, if z = 0 is the surface, and z = -1 is where the roots are, you may want to channel a couple of tiles adjacent to the roots so any fruit growing at z = -1 can fall to z = -2, where it can be gathered (because if there is still a floor tile at z = -1, then dwarfs may not be able to collect them from the branch or from the ground due to pathing).

Children won't gain cave adaptation. Found this out because a kid who was born underground and lived underground for their entire 12 years of life finally grew up and got sent out to do construction on the surface, and unlike the other dwarf, did not vomit upon seeing the sun.
Nevermind, poor lass started vomiting a few weeks after the fact.

The wiki says that they only get sun sickness if the sun is out, so maybe she just got lucky and it was cloudy where she was? But if she was really taking the exact same path as the other dwarf, that wouldn't explain it. Sun sickness definitely does seem to be unpredictable--sometimes it sets in immediately, and sometimes a dwarf can meander around the surface for a good while before getting it.

In fortmode, night trolls can give birth not only of main gender, but gender of converted spouse too. I tested with catsplosion script, so result may be different, if they will breed natural way.

[TheFlame52]

Sounds like something that needs testing. Maybe if someone embarked on one of those lairs with like six night creatures?

Good suggestion.

Gelding adult black bears is dangerous.

But... but... you're breeding like rabbits!!

[Schmaven]

I just found out that butchered war dogs yield war dog bones.  And from them you can make war dog bone crossbow bolts.  Also, every artifact looks better adorned with spikes of war dog bone.  War bear bones would definitely be a step up from here.
