Now kill things by throwing the fairy at them.

Another thing I found, which I assume was a bug, is that I can fill up a backpack with water.  If I try to dump the water, I also dump everything else that was in the backpack on the ground.

Doesn't sound like a bug to me; if you fill a bag full of water and then pour the water out, everything else in the bag will come out with it.

Vermin can appear in swarms in fortress mode.  I had fun watching a firefly light show lasting a few weeks during my last fortress.

Theres swarms of bats too.

Also, fireflies seem pretty common in desert areas.

Here's something to try. Fill a bag with water, venture to freezing climates, dump bag. See what happens.

The water freezes when you're in the area. So you drop chunks of ice.

Yes, but with items in it, do they get frozen into the ice?

I assume its the normal ice freezing rule.
It vanishes from that plane of existence, like when a miner gets frozen in ice.

My mayor has changed his idle habits. He used to chill in the meeting areas now he has taken up to idling outside by himself. Its the same location, near the only entrance, on the outside wall of his office.

His personality traits seem to have changed dramatically, and they seem to be associated with his labor skills.

Can't you mine them out?

From personal experience in Fortress Mode, things frozen in ice cease to exist.

I have no idea if this would be the case with a bag full of water in adventure mode.

You could use your fingers as a strainer.

Yes, finger straining out those battle axes and piles of vomit.

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.
Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.
