Magma and sand in that to?

[Paradox]

discovering the d->b menu.

oh god, the finger-destroying ages spent with the k tool manually dumping individual stones

Wait, what are you talking about.

...

I... I never knew about that tool.

[skaltum]

discovering that booze next to graphite cola lignite coke and wood doesn't mix well with fire imps

[Reese]

the k-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d thing I've done before I learned about mass dump from here...

but my big face palm was in an early fortress, I made a well in the courtyard and a tunnle from it to a hatch near the drawbridge, and set the hatch as a pond to be filled...

everything was fine until it reached about 3/7-4/7, and then I noticed that my dorfs were filling my well using my well as their watersource.

The face palm comes from my current fortress, though, where I dug a well that was going to be filled with screw pumps... except I didn't have enough water from the nearby murky pools (waited for the pools to refill for the season) so I had a bucket brigade to carry the water the last 100 tiles from my pipeworks to my lower well chamber... which was, again, fine, until it reached 3/7-4/7 and they decided to fill the well from itself, treking more than the distance from where the water was to be pipped from because of the locations of the stairs on the multiple z-levels.

I let my nobles live long enough to kill my legendary woodcrafter. *facepalm*. I guess it's time to have REVENGE

I've been playing this game for two years, and only just found out that you can rapidly scroll through the u-nits screen using the 9 and 3 keys on the numpad. Gah.

Page Up, Page Down.

[Untelligent]

It also works on any menu that uses the arrow keys.

I find it easier just to remap those keys to shift+up and shift+down, though.

[Osmosis Jones]

The thing that really kills me? I'd been using it on other menus with similar navigation for ages. It just never clicked to use it on that menu.

[Euld]

Had two facepalms today when I retook a fortress which I abandoned because the first dwarf caravan got slaughted by the chasm creatures.  After assigning nicknames and proper jobs, I kicked all but five from the military to start fixing up the place.  After nearly three seasons of them running back and forth across a 16x16 map to stockpile their army gear, I suddenly realized I could have told them to stand in the fortress THEN strip down.

*facepalm*

And then my miners wouldn't mine, no matter what.  Everyone else went straight to work without a problem.  I unforbid the area just in case, made enough picks for all of them, kicked/activated from military, changed their weapon to axe and back to unarmed, nothing was working.  Then when scrolling through their labor screens, I realized none of them had mining activated.

*facepalm*

Magma and sand in that to?

Magma yes, sand no. Which is fine, nothing you can make out of glass that isn't better out of electrum, steel, gold, or platinum. And believe me, there's more iron here than you can possibly use, I've just finished smelting one of the six magnetite veins I've uncovered, and there are still two more limestone levels I haven't dug out.

It also has a fair amount of mithril (dig deeper) though I'm saving it for my noble moods (not a huge deal, they demand I make mithril, I smelt a bar then process it into deep steel) and some tetrahedrite you can use to make electrum or billon.

[skaltum]

Windows and essentially free green glass crafts (if you have magma)

Not to mention training an army of legendary gem cutters and gem setters so that when you do get a rare diamond, you can be assured it's gonna be an exceptional decoration.
