I'll try that thanks.

[Greiger]

Yea I should've known, magma solves everything.  I don't know why I even suggested those other two.

I have a miner stuck in the adamantine spire pathfinding bug.  He's not able to move to the numerous ramps and stairs leading out of the pit he dug himself into.  And he's currently starving and dehydrated.  I'm putting numerous plans into action to get him out.  All requiring action on his part.  I start to put them in action and...he does nothing.

I figure he can't path off of his tile (which may still be true) but when I check his status he's "On Break".  I guess he really wants to die.  SO I cancel all of the rescue operations and tell him to channel into the magma on the other side of the wall he's stuck against.  If he's going down magmas a good way to go.  And as a bonus it will flood out the buggy spire so that I don't try to harvest the adamantine and get more folks stuck.

EDIT:  Holy crap.  Apparently digging out the wall fixed the pathing bug and he raced the magma to the exit and made it out.  Now he's in a race to the food stockpile 30 z levels up before he dies of dehydration.

Devin died by the way.
So I immortalized him by putting his tomb in the pit.
Then tried to pit the Troll into the pit.
As Miranda ran for her life, the troll set off a cage trap but didn't get caught.
Miranda fled to the upper part of the pit, The watching area. Although it was a dead end.

Isaac flew in like the sheriff he is, with his strong blacksmith build and wrestled that troll as Miranda tried to escape.
The troll and Isaac we're blocking the exit though! What was going to happen!? Isaac eventually could take no more, and as Miranda saw this, she swooped in to pick him up and run. Making a loop around the pit to have the troll chase her, the troll lost it's footing and fell into the pit. Miranda quickly brought the injured sheriff up to the hospital to rest. As the troll now stands next to the Tomb of Devin, the Moth Slayer.

[Hippoman]

Thank you, this is the most fun I've ever had.

[Hippoman]

It's round two, and Devin the Moth Slayer is dead. Who will kill this vile Pterosaur?
Just like I thought, it was the serpent man Civilization.

One of them is friendly to me now!

While trying to divert some rivers away from their natural courses in an effort to create a 10z deep lake, I messed up the third diversion and created the world's most complex swimming pool out of my mining tunnels.  Threerivers the Fork, we hardly knew ye.

Almost time to get the magma pump stack going. I expect efficiency to improve once the magma has made it all the way to the main fortress area. Plus, it'll be available for fun projects, like an obsidian farm.

By the way, I really love burrows. Assigned my furnace operators, glass makers, and smiths to a burrow deep in the earth, right next to my magma pool. Other dorfs drag down ore, sand, and food. It's perfect.
Well, except that the supply chain keeps getting choked up, and my glassmakers sit idle for long periods. None of my other stock-piles have "sand bags" turned on! Why are there not piles of sand bags down here!?

Oh well. It'll work out.

I also like the new military system, but man is it obtuse and bug-ridden.

[Kidiri]

Oh shit. I just discovered I was a bit too busy with my fortress and the construction thereof, and a bit too little with the survival of my dwarves. A quick glance at the stocks screen reveals that I have 3003 food, 34 of which are Other, 193 are seeds and 2776 are Drinks. Time to kick-start the farms. And butcher some animals.

Maybe a lack of bags?

Kidiri: that happens to me all the time...

Starting to build my single homes. Then Shop Buildings, then Depot Complex and such.
And All the homes have running water.

Please, someone hazard a guess as to what's going on in this screenshot.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

If you guessed 'four forgotten beasts are hanging out in a 1-tile-wide hallway between the sealed-off caverns and the edge of the map,' you win a prize!

[Hippoman]

Kill them.
Make your own Devin the Moth Slayer.
He couldn't kill a troglodyte, but he could kill a Forgotten Beast Moth in 30 seconds.

[Retro]

I dunno. It's year 5 now and the first one came in year 2. I've kind of gotten used to having them around.

Still, the fact that they keep coming through the same side and getting stuck is both ridiculous and hilarious.

[Hippoman]

You do realize I've been feasting off moth meat for the past year and still have enough to last me several more?

Kill them. It's worth it.
