Okay, so a werewarthog attacked. It killed two dwarves before I killed it. Okay, fair enough; I start building tombs and I make a graveyard stockpile for the corpses.

Then a brewer transforms into a werewarthog. Fortunately he was alone in a room, so I just locked the door until he turned back. Not sure what to do with hiim now, but whatever.

BUT! Even after four or five coffins had been built, I saw miasma wafting from the stockpile. Why? Well, one of the corpses was still there. Why hadn't it been hauled? I looked at the job list and there was "Place Item in Tomb"...but the dwarf assigned was the one who had transformed! Even after he transformed back, he was just sitting there, not doing his job.

Eventually I fixed the problem by freeing the coffin assigned to the dead dwarf, which cancelled the job and assigned the corpse to a different coffin, which generated a NEW "Place Item in Tomb" job that some other dwarf did.

I'm just wondering, is this a known issue? Should I report it?

I accidently brewed all my grown plump helmets into wine so now I have to rely on plant gathering and fishing to sustain the fort.

I found some turnips. they have to be edible raw, right?

Testing out the new DF. In the time it took my dwarves to strike the earth and build a mason's workshop, this occurred:



That's a pile of 38 dead rats on that hillside. All I can guess is that the single cat the dwarves brought with them was very busy.

Hello!

Testing out the new version.

I already had my tame horse flee from its pasture in terror, and I believe it was an eagle. That eagle was later listed as missing and then I found its corpse in my refuse pile. The combat report only has something about an impact and the beak lying next to the eagle in the pile also speaks of violence.

We are still in the first summer and I am taking a break while it is snowing cherry flowers all around my central site area O.o

This is just so cool!

Yours,
Deathworks

Did the impact occur near a tree by chance?

Reclaiming some somehow-dead-after-10-years-of-world-generation fort, and apparently digging through the walls reveals that the former residents were so metal their stairwells are SOLID MAGMA, and that they SMOOTHED INTERNAL WALLS. As in walls not visible to the player.
Holy crap.

Clearly those dorfs were reality warpers or ethereal. I'm going with ghost engravers and magmabenders.

In plant related news, a spore tree causing construction issues was felled and went straight into the cavern lake, much to my immense irritation. Cave trees largely look.... Off. Too large for the caverns, really. Only Goblin-caps and tunnel tubes really fit the mushroom theme of them in appearance. Also, new 'garden' plants spotted growing around the fortress surface turf: Eggplants, peanuts, flax, jute, chickpea, and sorghum. Eggplant and flax appear to be dominant, with peanuts and chickpea vying for second. There is also some kind of cottonleaf tuft plague around a lump of rock.

Founders are all set up for amenities, cabinet, box, bed. It's a little cramped in those rooms, but it's better than being stuck topside for the better part of a season waiting for proper rooms to be dug. A glass furnace has also been added down below, with Squib providing the bags via silk scattered around the residential districts. Nearly everyone's on masonry duty besides Dett who's smoothing walls in the eventual food storage room, and Trame who's felling trees and making furniture for the apartments. Masonry is largely being set up to plug that fuck-all hole in the new food storage room.

A barracks has also been built, with some floor blocks being repurposed into wall blocks and some storage being moved into the new 'room.' Overall, things are looking alright. With no clear reason for them to have uprooted, I'm wondering why the dwarves abandoned this place.

The pre-generated fortresses are extremely awesome.\
Unlike some rather unlucky people, my fort doesn't have any HFS, but there are Magma Crabs.
Clearly the magma sea didn't use protection.

I re-checked, and it was on the hillside on the same level as the tree tops. But it was not at a tree, just some flat land.
But then again, maybe the eagle had indeed hit a tree and then bounced and I only saw the second hit.

I just got my first wave of migrants (6 including 2 children) and just realized that I forgot to remove werecreatures and vampires from world (T_T)
Let's just hope I am really, really lucky (^_^;;

There's still dwarves in the site I tried to reclaim. However, they are listed as hostile, and there are a few goblins too; the two races seem to be both working together. So I, uh.... I killed the "queen consort". And the "Duke", and various other noble figures.

"Urist McAnimalCaretaker cancels pen/pasture large animal: animal inaccessible" x 30

Just got a migrant wave, one of which was a pet duck. The first thing it did was climb a tree for no reason, and it refuses to come down.

[Cuddles]

my military dwarves are having existential crises about killing a werebadger in human form. Get over it.

I got a dwarf who prefers to consume hake, rice beer, and unknown leaves. I think I'll make her an herbalist.

[sum1confused]

Anyone else found dead demons in the missing list?  Despite not digging down yet there is a dead pterodactyl demon there.
