Budbrass almost went insane crafting this artifact, and it shows in the final product.

Wow... some stonecrafter went moody and has claimed a workshop.
She's been collecting stones of various sorts for 2 seasons now and she's still looking for more, the workshop lists about 2 pages of stone as tasked. Im going to laugh my ass off if she makes only ONE earring out of all that stone.

Forbid it. Keep it in that workshop. Take it back in adventure mode.

Thios is the first time I've actually had to think about clothes. Why? because apparently my dwarven children keep tantruming and attacking people so many dead children... Damn children... just because you're naked AND don't have any socks, you decide to strangle your freinds.

Boring stuff:

Also just discovered "follow", where I follow a single dwarf for a while. That's crazy. I have aready used it to see where certain dwarves are carrying stockpiling stuff. Wow... everyone is really starving for clothes. 

Unfortunately there is a huge demand for water (particularly for the hospital, but doesn't matter that much). In early spring there is a little unfrozen part of the river, but it  happens to be outside the walls. I'm currently trying to rectify the problem of all my dwarves fishing and drinking and bucketing from way out there. Crazy dwarves.

No! No! I will not massacre my children. Instead, I'll make them corpulent on crappy mass-produced quarry bush biscuits and questionably grown mushroom alcohol, and then send them into the military when they turn 12...

Using burrows, you should be able to restrict children to their own section of the fort and have food dropped in via a hatch. You could also make a pressure plate that allows only fully grown dwarves through a hatch.

I've actually done this. Restrict the adults to burrows and order constructions to be demolished in the chamber, the children rush to the area.

Sent an expedition to the mouth of hell; a hole already leading straight to the bottom z-level. I could've sworn hatches were on the embark menu, and the lack of hatch kind of screws my plan: channel down twice, ramp up, dig some space, hatch and lock the way up. Gonna have to make one. Out of wood, since there's an aquifer separating us from stone. But demons don't just fly up, they teleport. I barely got enough space to make a carpenter's workshop before my woodworker got surrounded by salt and fire monsters.

This would be more manageable after the initial invasion, I think. A bunch of civilian dwarves just aren't as equipped to deal with the first wave as a seasoned adventurer, and I would've dealt with it in adventurer mode if I knew how to trigger the invasion without sacrificing said adventurer. I guess I could've animated a dead and kicked it down the hole, but my adventurer was a continent away before I decided I wanted to try this, and sacrificing seven dwarves is easier.

My fledgling fort had some keas steal ALL the picks. Also a bear attacked my militia commander and expedition leader whislt in a meeting by the food stockpile. Resulting in both dieing and people trantruming. Seems they were universally well respected. Figures.

How the hell can a kea even lift a pick? THAT MAKES NO SENSE.

Eventually you'll stop looking for logic in DF.

I stopped doing that a long time ago, but that's one thing I refuse to accept as logical, even by DF standards.
