'b' is different than 'x' and a Bed doesn't hold back magma as well as a Floodgate no matter how fast you type.

Wow, nice dude.  You succeeded in making me crack up.   ;D

I laughed long and hard.
This merits a panel in a webcomic somewhere.

You should have seen the look of horror on my face when I realized what I had done :)

While we're on the subject, I'd like to add that when I used b-C-f instead of b-C-F, the goblins walked all over me.

Urist Austin, Axedwarf.  A dwarf barely alive.  Gentledwarves, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic dwarf. Urist Austin will be that dwarf. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster.

Take a laugh point, or whatever you guys do here.

And is it sad that I actually understand what those mean?

(Anyway, I plan to put that on my board at work Monday.  See how many weird looks I get.)

Shoulda used a bed made from Bauxite instead. Or maybe steel.

Kohou, most every player of DF can play without looking at keys. After the first couple of fortresses you realize that hitting b>p is essential to keeping your midget, manic depressive alchoholics alive. The only keys I have trouble with is a fishery. Hardly ever use one, so it's not that big of a deal.

Bwaha...

'Oh no, the lava is getting closer!'
'Nothing to worry about, boys!'
*bed clunks down*
'Yep, we're safe nAAUGHURGLEUGLAARGH!'

I've been playing for a while, and I still have a habit of hitting keys one off of the one I'm after. Ended up with a bunch of apartments filled with coffins. Which actually worked out pretty well...

They call it a steep learning curve for a reason, once you're on top of the GIGORNORMUS MOUNTAIN it's all flat up there.

b->w->h  -- my current fort is on the ocean, so I have a teeeny tiny farm, and a whoooole lot of fishing.  I actually have a dedicated fisherdwarf, who supplies a dedicated fish cleaner; both of these dwarves do NOTHING else.  :)

I did this also. I made a fisherdwarf named John do nothing but fish in my underground lake. I even carved out a room for him complete with food and drink stockpiles so he wouldn't ever have to leave the lake area.

Of course the lake runs out fish at the same time a goblin ambushing party is on the map, and he goes outside to catch turtles and instead catches an arrow in the spine. Now he serves my fortress as a guard.
