'Nother face palm moment here, my Mayor wanted, and I quote, 3 SLADE doors, so I panicked and thought it was slate, so, I dug into the caverns, killed 20/35 of my dwarfs due to fishmen, then saw it was SLADE doors, lets say, he got killed, horribly the special treatment my ELVES get from me...

My Recent fortress happen to be under a mountain, and all the good ores were at the very very top.

I had about 6 Legendary miners so they were pretty quick mining, so I have been clearing out big masses of rock at a time.


At the same time I had a trading Caravan come up to my fortress, i noticed the game paused. I looked at the announcments, and to my awe and wonder a multitude of dwarfs have been crushed and killed. "A Cave in?! How?" i thought to myself.

I zoomed to where the dwarfs died, and I discovered that I cleared an entire floor at the peak of the mountain, so when they finished clearing the rocks... well... all my miners got killed + a ton more who where grabbing iron ore are storing it.

Just found out that two of my marksdwarves have apparently spent the last 2 years splitting apart stacks of food and claiming it for themselves. Now half the food in the fortress is owned by two dwarves and inedible by anyone else.
Hopefully starving them to death will release their ownership of the food.

If I recall correctly, once it has been claimed, it won't be reverted back, unless you have the dwarven economy running (tax collector will un-claim stuff owned if they can't afford it, but good luck with getting that running in 31.xx, read this). Your best bet is to make sure they aren't carrying any backpacks (for rations, which is one reason they are claiming food and dropping it, most likely) and that they have time to go eat (this is the other reason they are claiming all that food, no time to eat, scheduling them some downtime is always good, allows them to drink, eat and sleep, I suggest 2 months training and 1-2 months bumming/working at other jobs)

As long as the marksdwarves have no tombs or family, the food will indeed be freed.

Of course, you can "speed up" the process a little, have them both in a different squad, no uniform, remove all equipment from them, drop them in the caverns to play with the batmen, or use them as the front lines in the defense against sieges

You don't have to manually assign every dwarf a bed. Just designate it and when they want one, they'll claim it

/facepalm

[Arkenstone]

Well, actually I've seen a bug with the bed thing, Toady might have fixed it by now though.

There was a point where dorfs would just sleep in the nearest bed, which meant then never slept in a free room to claim it (and would sleep in the barracks even when they had a room) but it appears to be fixed in 31.16

IIRC, the bug was present in 31.12. Which is also the last version supporting Dwarf Therapist, as far as I know. No wonder people still suffer from it.

DT now has support 0.31.16.

Whee! Taking a two day long break and so much stuff happens. Thanks! Maybe it was made earlier than that, but I didn't know anyway.

Constitutes a facepalm moment for me, since I hate to display wrong data.

[ET]

About a year ago in my first fort I didn't realise there was a Z-axis then migrants appeared on a different level. I spent about 10 minutes looking for my dwarfs. Then I looked in the readme and saw that if I pressed question mark I could look at help. Then finally realised there was a third dimension.

I felt really stupid.

Also it wasn't until my second game I realised farming existed and that I didn't have to rely on gathering plants

Forgot to change raws so cats didn't have a body temp of 99910070. Fire made my dwarves bleed to death?

It wasn't the fire.
It was the GIANT SHOCKWAVE OF THE THERMONUCLEAR CATSPLOSION!! It crushed them against the ground and trees and their equipment and even themselves!
Every instance of a thermonuclear catsplosion is awesome by default. Regardless of the results. No, especially because of the results.
