I had a legendary miner die of thirst.

In my food stockpile.

On top of a barrel of dwarven rum. 

I guess he was really holding out for that prickle berry wine.

Huh, so that iron anvil I brought on embark isn't magma safe?
This was after I realized that I had brought no wood, no axes, and that (worst of all) there was no caravan to deconstruct into wood so that I could forge an axe to cut down more wood.
Needless to say, I abandoned. I remembered to bring wood to the frozen hellscape I embarked onto next, though; at least this one has an Underground River and Flux to use. [Although in retrospect I should have traded that steel axe in for wood and food... eh.

Iron is magma safe...

[Pheonix_RE]

Eh? It said that...
Huh. In any case that fortress was kinda doomed, what with no wood and no way to actually get it.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Was the anvil forbidden?

[Pheonix_RE]

Eh, I had already lost one of my dwarfs due to magma-based fun, and in any case it was probably something idiotic that I had done beforehand - like (post-event facepalm) making a non magma-powered forge beforehand.

[Urist Imiknorris]

That would do it. And the "needs magma-safe anvil" bit is a bug. It only needs to be fire-safe.

Only tentatively DF related but...

I usually use the updated topics link in the forum.  I had 27 pages of ancient threads that I replied to at one time and had a post since then.  I was always worried when glancing through the updated topics list, I would  accidentally respond to one of those, thus responding to and necroing an older than dirt thread.  But I didn't know any way to easily get rid of the backlog.

I just discovered about 3 minutes ago, the "Mark all as read" button on that page.  *Facepalm*

I made a HUGE glass mushroom twenty levels in the air. It had a mushroom top on the top with a radius of 62! In the end after ten dwarf years it colapsed.

In a related forum issue, I just recently realized that you can click on the ellipses in the page numbers, then it will list every page.

Only some pages. Usually enough, but occasionally with threads like Nist Akath you need to hit the ellipse twice, or even 3 times.

three times for this thread.
that means Nist Akath needs 6 clicks.
damn.

Not at 50 posts/page, fools! I'm only on page 34.

[ungulateman]

I'm at 68. I assume I set it to 25 posts per page, then.
