Pro-tip: Ctrl+Shift+N (in LNP) can rename any building--including Levers.

nice.

Oh my goodness. I didn't know. This is the best.

This is a standard dfhack thing.  Check out "dfhack.init" in the root of your dwarf fortress directory for more dfhack key bindings.

[Fleeting Frames]

Any new minecart system you sketch on paper will never work exactly as you thought it would. Either it will be slower, it will be faster, or maybe it will stop, drop cargo and roll backwards, over dwarf who pushed it, creating two dozen requests for idlers to come pick up corpses, clothes, items, minecart contents...or at least to clean the tiles of blood, if there's nothing to pick up.

You recall the one thing you should have fixed right after sealing the deal unfixed.

Frames over time will leave you, one by one, until it looks like somebody threw your fortress near an event horizon.

[Dunamisdeos]

Someone is going to get caught under your lowering bridge. It is unavoidable. They probably already have.

[escondida]

There is always more garbage to get rid of.

There are always more crundles.

There is always one valuable dwarf inexplicably out for a walk outside the walls when the invasion comes.

[Eater of Vermin]

Trees.

They will cause you grief.

Too many, not enough, fruit-picker traps, elf attractors.  It doesn't matter, their evil mischief is varied and nefarious.

You have been warned.

[Rince Wind]

Your corpse stockpile will get filled up with teeth, while the actual corpses keep laying aound, rotting and scaring caravans.


Yes, each tooth has to be dumped individually, what do you mean carry more than one?

[Altaree]

Creation of an artifact stepladder ensures the appearance of KEA!

[oldmansutton]

If punching through an aquifer using a cave-in, and there is another, multi-level aquifer underneath, your remaining filled z-levels will be one less than is necessary to breach the second, multi-level aquifer.

[Eschar]

Your garbage chute will inevitably cause the gruesome injury of random dwarves, especially if said dwarf has had no tasks which require him to be there in the last month. It was inevitable.

[Dunamisdeos]

There's a dwarf underneath the tree you're chopping down. He's everyone's friend. Especially the military dwarves. While you were reading this, his head was crushed by a feather wood log. Enjoy.

[scourge728]

Your dwarves WILL climb something and get stuck, probably an important one. You will most likely not notice until said dwarf is dead

[Unhacker]

If you leave a well unattended for long enough, a dwarf will jump down it and drown and you will not realize it until another dwarf jumps down and finds the body of the previous dwarf.

[Cyroth]

Kobolds that get discovered by legendary dwarves will always stab a vital organ. No exceptions.

Even if you have only one entrance and there are 5 dogs chained in front of it, you'll always have kobolds sneaking around in your fort.
Probably aiming at your armorsmiths kidneys right now.

Visitors will always arrive inside a deadly cloud/rain if available, or next to a pack of skeletal yaks if not.

There are always children on the minecart tracks.

[Monomstodir]

Any dwarf struck with the inclination to clean the fortress will ignore the vomit-carpeted main hall, those odd blood stains in the main tavern and the various ichor on the stairs in order to meticulously scrub either the newly irrigated farmland or the mud dusting the obsidian casting chamber just as the magma pump operator starts work.

[oldmansutton]

It is inevitable that if you have any question regarding the game, PatrikLundell or Fleeting Frames will know the answer.
