I searched and saw no thread for this.

How do I build roofs?

hit 'B,Shift C,then F',a roof is just a floor over whatever you want to cover.

Since this is the most current newb questions thread...

This is something I've never seen before. "Some migrants have arrived, despite the danger."

Every time any liaison arrives they always say that the world is the same as ever. Does this mean that (finally!!!) an army is on its way to crush me?

"Some migrants have arrived, despite the danger." indicates that your fort is a dangerous place where dwarves die a lot.

Keeps telling me I don't have access to building material non economic items, but only on a higher Z level, yet, on ground level it works just fine.

Your dwarves need a way to get to the top of the building.

Try building an internal staircase to the ceiling, so your dwarves can start building the floor from it.

or a ramp outside would work too.

Bins stacked full of mangoes were laid out in rows. On further inspection of the market, Cog came to the realization that everything was mangoes.
