Ah, yes. I'd forgotten about that part. You may now return to your regularly scheduled facepalms.

Apparently, I don't need to irrigate every single square in an underground farm to build the farm.  Honestly though I'm more estatic that the water from a 1x1 murky pool is allowing me to build a 10x10 farm

[Shurhaian]

Beware. As soon as you get to a tile without mud on it, planting will probably cease. Nothing further into the farm(going by its top-down, then left to right logic) might get planted.

So I was just digging down my main stairwell, and accidentally designated the whole thing as "mine". Result? One guy made it down the central ramp, deconstructed the ramp and levelled the area, trapping himself down there and everyone else upstairs. Nobody came to build the stairs, as he slowly starved to de--New fort.

[Spectre]

New fort? Why?
And why didnt you just make him a mason so he could make his own stairs?

[Devonus]

i think you just made this a double face palm moment spectre XD

[Shurhaian]

Especially since the reason nobody else built the stairway was probably because they couldn't path to the stone designated for building it, because it was on the lower section with the trapped miner...

[Tywuzhere]

Lol, sucks for that miner... Haha, he could've made it...

[Devonus]

now for my own face palm moment, i've had my most succesful, and fort so far. I was doing great, then had a hauler go secretive on me and is still wondering around dropping his clothes randomly. then to top it off my legendary miner fell down a channel for the well system i was digging out, the aqueducts were completly inescapable, but fortunatly they were still in the process of filling ( i made it big enough to feed anypart of my fortress) and after a few moment of "aww that sucks" and forgetting bout him it clicked that i could save him, as he was close to one of the walls and passages up stairs. then almost paniced when i realized he could no longer mine bc he dropped his pick bc his "ability to grasp impaired" and had to scramble some other miners down to save him. He made it, but he's not sitting in the hospital recovering from many fractures. Just wondering though, does the "ability to grasp" thing mean he'll never hold a pick again? bc then he's USELESS

He can Still Hold the pick , But at 1/2 the Efficentifcy

Also , i had a Pretty Big faceplam Moment :
Goblin Siege Up ahead , i Ordered a Dwarf to Pull the "Flood the Entire World with Lava" Lever when i Learned after the moment that it was the "Flood the Entire Fortress With lava" Lever
*insert Obvious Faceplam Moment Here*

My facepalms came from misunderstanding that Glass Portals would work like portals and teleport the dwarves between any two such portals, instead of acting just like normal doors.

I think such portals might be very useful in defence, but also very problematic if taken by enemy.

[zagibu]

Wut?

[Metroid]

I think he's joking.

[Richard Nixon]

I think all of the men in this world are dead, my last fort only had one guy and didn't last long enough for migrants to come so we'll see what happens.

[MaximumZero]

Are you starting an Amazonian fort? I have a fear that the next guy that shows up will be emasculated immediately. The next guy after that should have the time of his life, though.
