Miner just took a nap in half of the room mining. I would draw it as an epic art,but I am no artist.

[TerryDactyl]

Two adamant failures:

The first being well-clad swordsman who followed a frogman into the lake and drowned, fighting.

After a months-long recovery operation, we were able to equip a new soldier in the former's gear. When the cyclops came, we made him our champion. Convinced of his invulnerability, he strolled up to the brute and was promptly thrown ~30 tiles and GIBBED against a soil wall. His arms, his head, his legs just popped right off.

Time to send in the militia....

Discovering removing up stairs/ramps option



Are you fuckin' KIDDING ME?


MONTHS of digging and channeling,digging and channeling...

[Organum]

There's also a bit in DFhack that automatically removes ramps desginated for derampification. Sure, it's cheatery, but if it means a less complicated screen...

[AnimaRytak]

Realizing that bedrooms would auto-assigned to dwarves if they were unclaimed.

I flat out facedesk'd on that one.

[EveryZig]

Just lost ANOTHER marksdwarf to that obnoxious thing where your marksdwarf refuses to stay on the right side of the wall. I HATE that so much.

[Shootandrun]

My fortress was going well. The two first seasons were over. There was some giant badgers around (The Mighty King of the Beasts) but I was not afraid. They were far from here.

And then, BOOM! The dwarfs get spotted by the badgers, one minute later, they are all dead.

Please, Toady, don't nerf them.

[EvilWink]

So I am facing a mass dehydration in my fortress because I cant get any wood to make barrels during an invasion. I decide that Im probably going to lose the fort anyways, so I send my two legendary axedwarves to stand behind my drawbridge and prepare to make a heroic last stand.

I pull the lever...


...and the bridge atom-smashes the two dwarfs and the invaders kill my fort

... you know you can make pots, functional equivalents of barrels, out of stone, right?

Facepalm part 2

[tryrar]

not a facepalm moment for ME exactly, but for the game as it embarked my wagon right on top of a frozen pool....and when the pool thawed out, well hilarity ensued

Just wait until the water pulls your items into an alternate dimension.

facepalm #1= My most skilled marksdwarf running out on to the field during a goblin siege, and then falling into a small pond and drowns to the death.

facepalm #2= Building a grand bedroom for a noble, then that noble dies. A group of migrants come and some random dwarf claims it. My current Barony, an ex-military dwarf named "Stumpy" thanks to the loss of his right foot goes on tantrum when he realizes a commoner has a better bedroom than he does and punches a legendary craftsdwarf through the head, killing him...then gets extremely depressed about it so he goes to his dining room, sits down, and then goes berserk. My military comes out with training axes and beats him to death.

Up until then he lived a decent life. Almost lost my fortress to a tantrum spiral at that point.

[Knick]

Could not understand why my woodcutter was so unhappy, and eating vermin.  Then I discovered that I had not carved down steps into my fortress entrance, thus trapping the little treekiller on the surface.

[cam94509]

Trolls. They are building destroyers. I had forgotten that.

I was all like "lololol, stupid goblins, you can't get in that way! The door is forbidden! Stop running across the weapon traps, and just leave, you can't... Oh. Right. Not good."
