I do too. Now I have 1000+ leather. All of it made in the fort. Training a dwarf from dabbling leatherworker to Legendary +5 barely put a dent in it. Kill me now.

Well at least you won't have to worry about clothing shortages anytime soon. Probably.

I decided to try a larger area to see if my PC could handle it (10x10).
I selected a temperate climate.
The game started my Dwarved and their animals on the edge of a sheet of ice with a 7/7 ocean between them and land.

 

The ice melted before they could dig a tunnel across.

Try again with temperature off?

But that's cheating.

I tried a smaller area and managed to be set just above the high-water mark, on dry land. I'll take it. XD

This brings back fond memories of the time that I embarked on a beach and lost most of the starting seven to waves while desperately trying to save the embark supplies.

Unfortunately I finally gave up my 10x10 embark due to lag. I believe my current attempt is a 5x5, which is having less issues, thankfully. (I wanted to test my PC.)

I was trying to fill a magma cistern from the side of a volcano- always tricky since the pipe is the same width the whole way through. I thought magma was still slow enough for my miner to knock a hole in the side and run. I was wrong.

Six dwarven births over a period of just five in-game days. I wasn't even unpaused for a second between two of them. What happened!?

You see, when a mommy dwarf and a daddy dwarf love each other very much...

It is slow enough, provided they actually decide to run.

Not so much my facepalm as dwarven stupidity.

My first caravan popped in... inside of a cloud of deadly dust.

It also depends on how fast your dwarf is. The slowest dwarf I've ever seen had a base speed of 3xx.

I wanted to quickly clear a room of stone boulders so I designated a mass dump a short distance away. I forgot two things. a) my garbage dump zone was next to a downwards ramp and b) dumps next to a cliff will have the dwarves toss the garbage over the edge. Sure enough, one of my starting seven dwarves was soon found stoned to death under a pile of boulders.

Facepalm 1:
   Sending the military to equip before forbidding things on the surface, like from those dead gobbos  at the edge of the map

Faceplam 2:
  Watching as my militia commander politely asks the necromances to step asside so that he can loot the corpses.


No harm, no foul, but... yeesh.
