I know my game crashes with segfault when the designated target of a squad leaves the location.

What did you do to break DF in this manner? Mine doesn't do that...

This seems specific to linux DF. I have the same problem on my Ubuntu machine, but its fine on my Windows one. 31.18 for both.

tried somthing ambitious... embarked at a river confluence, and while it was frozen dug out a small walled courtyard in this confluence to have a "castle in a river" type of way in. looked cool - 6x6 tower poking out of a river, with fortifications and a roof. River melted. ALL my supplies (minus the stone used to make the small courtyard) were still on the wagon. I had neglected to build a bridge yet, reasoning I have until the end of Autnum to worry about that... My dorfs were safe in thier little island, with 2 soil layers to play with before an aquifer, no food, no booze... no hope.

Had my legendery stone crafter go in a fey mood and make a stone craft <.< Could have have been ANYONE else but noo had to be him

Yesterday I learned something new while doing the preparations for embark: "Huh. What's 'new' mean?" *hits N, and up pops massive list of stuff to buy* "Oh."

...

"ARGHARGH!"

MONTHS of embarking on deserts or glaciers with no wood (or much of anything else, really) - all for nothing, because I didn't bother reading the embark screen properly.

7 dorfs. No items. FINAL DESTINATION.

I made a new fort solely so I wouldn't have to go digging up my proper one to test the workings of a highly-mechanised trap. The population was limited to just the hardcoded waves, as always in my games. First I got a Grand Master Armoursmith. Then the Armoursmith mooded. Instant Legendary +5, in a hole in the ground that will never see even another trader. I know that what the RNG does in one fort has no bearing on what it does in another, but I can't help feeling a little miffed.

I've had a bunch a dorfs dehydrate because the idiots deconstructed the stairs (and it definitively had nothing to do with the fact that I had the entire area designated to be mined *whistle*).
Having the magma sea beneath their feet probably didn't help, either.

[Shootandrun]

Wait, what? One of my sworddwarf is dead? He was hunting goats and he was legendary! I hope he did not dodge into a murky pool...

*Checks combat log*

He dodged into the lava pipe.

[Beardless]

I'm trying to perform an experiment with a backed-up fortress. As in so much good !!Science!!, it involves making a beeline to the magma sea. Two, actually. A stairwell, and an empty shaft. I sank about 50 Z-levels of stairs first, then starting digging the shaft right next to it. That way I could throw half a dozen miners at it at the same time.

Meanwhile, crundles keep getting in through the second cavern, and I'm getting really annoyed with the cancellation spam. I've designated a few ramps removed to keep them out, but none of the miners want to work there. Eventually I remembered that I could restrict miners to a burrow. Nice! Here you go, Legendary Miner, three ramps just for you! Hmm, I wonder where he is.

That's odd, it doesn't look like there's any floor there... Oh.

30 Z-levels later: SPLAT!



Yes, I assigned a falling miner to a priority work burrow. *facepalm*

And for a second facepalm, cue six more splats as the rest of my miners one by one dodged the same crundle and fell down the same damn shaft.

[Kogut]

My fort had multiple problems but direct cause of !!FUN!! was not setting danger room lever on repeat. What in connection with Defence Mod was deadly.

[dwarfhoplite]

fuck i just spent like half an hour making city grid and whole plan to one burrow. then I didn't press "done" and everything vanished...

EDIT: for god's sake i did it again somehow

[ggamer]

Watching as a skilled fighter gets stabbed in both feet by a kobold and knocked down a hill.

fuck.

My dwarfs have never seen any Forgotten Beast yet. I got besieged by goblins and their demon law-giver; as expected in this version, the loyalty cascade was triggered at the border of the map, and the result was epic.
This is not the problem.
The problem is that the damn devil had deadly blood. 2 months later, after accidentally flooding a third of the map, and witnessing the complete freezing of said water... on the opposite side of the map, where water couldn't possibly have spread toxins... cats start dying. Then a commander, one of my best marksdorf. Then 10 z-levels underneath, a miner bled out to death randomly as well, rapidly joined by a random wandering war dog somewhere in between.
How the shit did the poison cross the river to kill stuff only now? Why didn't it just act faster and kill the bunch of treacherous gobbos? Why do I even bother? I don't even want to deal with any Forgotten Beast after that.

[SimRobert2001]

I JUST had one.  a BIG one.  I had the idea where i would send THOUSANDS of goblins to die against the hordes of the underworld, only to accidentally breach it, and send all my dwarves to my safety zone.  I pulled the safety lever, only to become frustrated at how it wasn't working.  I watch as all my dwarves are slaughtered, only to realize that i was pulling the WRONG LEVER.  I was pulling the one to main draw bridge. >.<

Genned a lovely little site--lushly forested wilderness, perfectly flat volcano, mountains on the edge of the map absolutely filthy with exposed veins of ore.  Sand.  Dolomite.  Gabbro, and granite coming out the ears.

Did a scouting embark.  Can't bring myself to use the site.  Why?  No ocean/river; and I'm a whore for good, evil and savagery.

Face.  Palm.
