And Pandas HAVE to eat bamboos rather than your regular grasses.

Does modding in Daleks count as a bad idea?

I just had an oops at the top of the 24z tall tower, resulting in a dwarven child falling and punching through every single layer of dwarven masonry, leaving his both his arms and one leg on various levels as he went down. He also punched trough the layer of snow and soil beneath, and then two more layers of dwarven masonry beneath that to impact in the dining hall and explode.

His head landed... hold on let me count.... 18 tiles away in the food storage area across the hall.

He was the only heir to the throne.

In the arena, I've seen one exterminate 2 bronze colossi while only sustaining fractured dalek bumps. Sometimes they get their plungers torn off though. Weeping angels would be awesome the best thing ever, but currently beyond the capacity of the game.

I decided to start a snake farm since I had captured both male and female cobras and black mambas and training was progressing well. After waiting a year I check the raws. Missing [CHILD:1] tags. Great, scratch that.

Step 1: have 20 dwarves.
Step 2: have some dwarves not doing anything.
Step 3: occupy them with engraving.
Step 4: have strange mood create legendary stonecrafter.
Step 5: set stonecrafter to mass-produce A Present From Boatmurdered souvenir mugs.
Step 6: build few new beds, since all previous immigrant waves have been less than ten people.
Step 7: next wave of immigrants contains twice the previous population of my fort, with only enough beds for one-third of them.

From the same game, I dug some channels to run a couple of happy thought waterfall engines in my main dining room (which needs some more tables...I should really get to work on that), but got fed up with the endless string of idiots wandering in and cancelling jobs due to dangerous terrain. So I built floors over them. Including the squares I was pumping from. Oops.
