When I was building a reactor at the bottom of a cavern which was indeed the only source of water on the map like our poor lad at the top of the page, built the reactor, worked great, after about 10 minutes started to wonder why no mining was being done, had a look about to find I'd forgotten to un-designate a section of the reactor to be dug out and all 10 of my miners had dived into the cave lake to try and dig it out, every one of them were standing on the single dry square of land where the pump was taking the water from and I had no way to get them out..... Crap

Sending out soldiers to fight goblins (or any enemy, really)....armed with training weapons instead of their normal steel weapons.

Training weapons aren't necessary in .31. Keep them with steel.

Today I learned the reason my dwarves were not hauling bones to the refuse stockpile (and thus resulting in ratsplosions, and a lack of bones dooming my (fourth) bone economy based fortress), was due to outside refuse hauling being set to off. *facepalm*

Goblin prisoners don't last as long in my training room when soldiers use steel.

Oh yes, that. Dwarves armed with training weapons are scary. The one time I had a dwarf train on a prisoner, she battered her for 86 pages before punching her head in through her iron helm. I haven't done it since.

On the plus side, it's free XP so long as the attackers aren't going to be killing your soldiers in the next week or so.

[Manic Typist]

How did you manage to leave the prisoner's helm on yet take away any weapons? My prisoners are all naked, which means they only last about 10 pages or so.

After you mass-dump their stuff, undump their armor from the stocks screen.

[Manic Typist]

......thank you.

*Evil, evil grin*

Again.

*facepalm*

Sometimes I do that on purpose. My soldiers are so awesome that, against goblins and trolls armed with non-blunt weapons, they slaughter them even with training weapons.
They get more experience this way.

Investigating Zone orders under the [ o ] menu.... and discovering that there's an option (I think) which prevents my dwarves from running outside and instead drink from the nice, safe well I've designated in my fort.

Yes indeed.

• ->[z]->[d], drink from zones ONLY. Likewise, you can tell your fisherdwarves to fish only in zones.

If this is an ongoing problem with your forts, you really need to brew more booze..

Indeedy. I always make a 3x3 square of 6 breweries and 3 craftsdorf's workshops (Hooray rock pots!). Booze for the booze god!

Whilst trying desperately to finish as much of my sucession turn in Crewtowns, I found time to check on one of my many hunters.

The moron is standing at the edge of the river, firing bolts at the fish swimming by. *Facepalm*
