Asylum!?

Uh... when my dwarfs go mad, they kill people and then go hide in a corner and starve and/or die of thirst.

I didn't know they could stay insane lol.

Failing my Dwarven biology, how do Giant toads reproduce?
So, you wanna hear the game terms, or RL that will scar you forever?
PS: First thing I thought of is farming Toady One for DFs.

Tried to have funish with some waterfall/pump stuff,I dont remember.

Designated to channel a floor near the brook. Actually,miners were busy with the dining room and other,so I forgot about it.

Two months later i find my farming level flooded.

Well,the good thing,is that I managed to floorhatch the entrance to the underground,so I dont have a geyser now.

And I also fortified all my dwarves and supplies I could on the workshop floor. Now I feel like a fucking fallout wastelander with a vault :3

I gave an axedorf a 2h adamantine masterwork sword.
He entered a martial trance and ran into a group of goblin lashers.

I've designed a nice z-level to dig just for bedrooms in a way that makes optimal use of the space while offering 2x3 rooms to everyone in my newest fort.
Only when the miners started digging, I did realize the layout looked a lot like swatiskas in boxes.
And it is starting to bother me.

That happened to me once. Except the bedrooms weren't on a bedroom-only level. Let's just they the fortress had some inexplicable open space scattered throughout it. I sympathize with you, dude.

I'd make an elven holocaust joke, but it would probably be in bad taste.

I like radial symmetry, but for anything to not look like a swastika it has to be so twisty that it loses the clean look, or large enough to either outgrow its swastika shape or look good as a curve.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

me: okay now lets make a statue involving industry in our new kingdom/fortress...
Macriff Elkizers cancles engrave: interrupted by mummy. x17
Me: okay lets kill this thing!
Urist Alzacroff has made a sculpture.
Me: okay lets see what they sculptured.
<scrolls over>
There is a goblin, a bee hive, a dwarf, a tree, and an elf.
The goblin is chopping down the tree, the elf is in the tree, the dwarf is running away, the beehive is chasing the dwarf.

I'm starting to learn it the harsh way. I'll just stick to gleeful chaos next times. It worked just as well before.
Also, fortunately, smoothing/engraving the walls and adding doors fixes everything. :D

A big moment for me was when I tried to lure a Fire Titan into my cage traps which happened to be in a grassy-forested area after it had murdered all of my military and caused a tantrum spiral. You can tell where it went from there. At least my fortress went out with a bang.
