Also, my Countess has been prohibiting the export of Bins for several years now...I might arrange to let her have some Fun.

I don't understand why this is a problem. Aren't you better off not exporting the bin itself in the first place, usually?

[Drecon]

Started a 0-point-on-embark challenge. Got some farming goinga dn until now my dwarves lived off berries and turtle. Luckily I've just struck a rich vein of Rhesus Macaque. Now I just hope the traders bring me that pick....

EDIT: dwarves brought me a masterwork pick that I couldn't hope to afford with my few bone crafts. At least I got a few logs, now I can make a barrel and actually have more than murky water for my dwarves to drink...

EDIT2: Ah, of course the barrel lands in the raw fish stockpile. I like this game.

EDIT3: OF course windows decided I needed to reboot without saving my game...

I think his problem is that it sorta prevents the bins (filled with trade goods) from being sent to the depot. Granted, this can be solved by turning off "culling on mandates" and then simply not trading the bins themselves, but still.

Had a stupid amount of fun last night catching fire snakes and make liquid fire from them.  Yes I know it's pretty pointless.  Even with a masterwork green vial the whole shebang isn't worth more than 750 dwarfbucks while a single piece of masterwork plate is worth 12,000, but it's something different to do and it provides a little challenge to get the things caught and processed before some dwarf comes up and eats it.  Seriously guys, this isn't the Amazon and you aren't Bear Grylls, go get a lavish meal from the stockpile.

Sadly, some dwarf claimed a firefly to eat and now I can't tame it.  But I still have hopes for getting the fluffy wamblers on the map.

Elf bastards arrived with two carrier-animals. Gobbos decided to make a ambush. Gobbos kill the elves and I get free food and lots of stuff.

If you're in a desert and are scarce on wood, that is a good reason to keep the bins. I've gotten into the habit of just recycling the bins rather than sell them, saves on making them.

I have no shortage of wood on this map and prefer to hit enter a few times to unload my goods on hapless traders rather than having to press "down-enter-down-enter-down-enter-down-enter-down-enter..."

Grar. I've finished building my newest pyramid, all 8 levels of green glass majesty, capped with an exceptionally well made statue. And now the dwarf who put the statue up there is stuck, unable or unwilling to come down. I'm building scaffolding to retrieve him, but it'll be a nuisance. I'm beginning to think I should build these things by halves; build one half, cap it, build the other half. It'd be easier to deconstruct the scaffolding and then build the pyramid, than to build fiddly scaffolding that might fall through the pyramid. Bloody nuisance. Half a mind to let him starve up there.

I used to spend a lot of time in MMOs.  and From it I have the Logitech G13 Gameboard.  I hate trading my bins, so now I have a button on there that does "down" "enter" and repeats it as long as I hold it down.  I'm thinking about making several of them... especially when my megaprojects get under way... 10x10 block of floors?  one button, instead of b>C>f>u>u>u>u>u>u>u>u>k>k>k>k>k>k>k>k>k  There are a lot of macros I plan to start using for it

So my current fort, "Paddlelocks" is on a map where water freezes during the late fall till late spring.  Due to a missed placed channel tile my moat flooded from the brook that passes thru my fort. So the first fall rolled around and my starting seven frantically attempt to dig out the now frozen water in my moat and build the outer wall when A Vile force darkness has arrived. Im now frantically hoping that one of the dwarves will decide to pull the damn lever and close the gate to the entrance of my fort....

Edit: WOOT! Just the orcs were just tiles away from my entrance when someone finally decided to pull that damn lever!  I also now have a terrified kobold thief trapped in my fort!

I built through a waterfall today.

Let me explain. I have a two, maybe three Z-level drop in the river on my map. I dug out the area for my dining room, dug out underneath the river before the drop, built constructed floors to walk through this dug area, put grates on the waterfall tiles, and walled up the previous entrance. All dwarves going to eat get some nice, all natural mist, and I have no danger of flooding.

I was going to build a giant table and chair for Armok to use as a personal dining room, but got sidetracked.

Oh, and I was just about to trade for an anvil (silk crafts = easy lightweight profit, when my idiot broker decided to go help build the road I was making. I lost all of autumn's progress savescumming that...

Had a bunch of goblins ambush a series of traps in my fort. It was rather hilarious to watch.

You could have set it to anybody can trade rather than only broker can trade, or removing the brokers labors....

[Urist Imiknorris]

Or using "[r]emove Cre" to tell your broker to find another job.

[Jack_Bread]

I left my fortress running on it's own for too long and all my dwarves started getting thirsty because I hadn't set up the stills yet.

EDIT: Also, my dwarves are naming some batmen.
