Ever have a dwarf just up and die on you?

1. I had one that "suffocated" and after searching my fort found him, dead, lying on his bed....  Maybe a murder? *cue ominous music*

2. What does "drowsy" mean?  Had a dwarf with little more than a spine injury in bed for a few years become "drowsy", then "very drowsy", before he eventually got up, dehydrated (dwarves were feeding and watering him before this), and wandered the halls until he died.  How can you get drowsy after being bed-ridden for 2 years?

Unrelated question:
3. How can I clean up the misc socks and cloaks littering my barracks?  They're all champs now, and with nothing better to do they just keep ripping the clothes off others

Last question:
4. My oh my, do my dwarves like giving each other spine injuries.  I've got 5 of my 15 military down for the count because of a spine problem.  Short of a massive construction project to move water from the brook in the opposite corner of the map to my fort to make a Kevorkian room, how can I dispose of them?

Sparring injury to the lungs.

Hasn't slept recently and needs to. Injured dwarves pass out from pain and don't get enough sleep sometimes.

Magma.

Give your military good armour. It helps.

[Warlord]

No magma on this map (crazy, right?  NOT choosing your location other than making sure it has mountains and trees (maybe a river)?), so no go there.

As for sparring injuries, I might as well just forget about training hammerdwarves.  I haven't had a foe yet that couldn't be taken down by a few champion wrestlers (aside from one time a goblin bow lord one-shot them all), and no injuries from sparring.

If you see an injured dwarf that is drowsy, it usually means that the bed he was placed upon kind of bugged out and doesn't realize he wants to sleep. Deconstruct that bed and let your dwarves move the injured party to another bed.

Its the only way I've found it works, and I usually end up getting drowsy injured dwarves one per three bed-worthy injuries.

[Warlord]

Cold hearted as I am, I just let the jerk die.  He'll never recover from a spine injury anyway.

[kotekzot]

nervous systems never heal anyway. were you training champion wrestlers to be hammerdwarves? wrestling helps to avoid attacks so you might want to first give them some experience there before letting them have fun with the pointy things.

[zchris13]

Or letting them swing large and heavy things. Both are bad ideas.

Agreed with this guy.

Cept that for the socks and stuff, quantum stockpile them if it really bothers you (i.e. assign a 1x1 square refuse pile, mark them all for dumping. They'll all get stored in one square)

[Snall]

Marksdwarves and some good targets people...then no injuries...usually

[AncientEnemy]

letting your dwarves spar to champion wrestler and giving them some armor before starting them training with a weapon eliminates sparring injuries almost entirely.

[RAM]

If they get spinal injuries before becoming champions then you can just throw them into the guard and forget about them...

[Tcei]

To take care of invalids when water/magma isnt a very viable choice. I've found locking a door and letting htem starve or releasing a vicious animal in their room works well. If they're well enough to spend some time out of bed, its also a useful way of getting rid of that surplus of goblins cloging your animal stock pile.

[RAM]

I do wish that it would give me an alert whenever anything dies, or whenever a dwarf goes from uninjured apart from incurable wounds to being recently injured, just so that I know that this stuff is happening...

[Jim Groovester]

You get an announcement anytime anything that belongs to you dies, mostly dwarves and stray animals.

You don't get direct announcements about dwarves getting injured, but "Dwarf cancels task: Interrupted by hostile creature" can give you an indication that a dwarf is about to be harmed. This announcement sometimes doesn't occur if a dwarf doesn't have a job to be canceled.

I am more looking for the *lightning strikes* *repeatedly hit about the head with a 10 meter tall flashing neon sign* !!!!!!!!YOU HAVE BEEN INVADED BY ORTHOCLASE!!!!!!!!! sort of message...
