Asylum!?

Uh... when my dwarfs go mad, they kill people and then go hide in a corner and starve and/or die of thirst.

I didn't know they could stay insane lol.

Failing my Dwarven biology, how do Giant toads reproduce?

So, you wanna hear the game terms, or RL that will scar you forever?
PS: First thing I thought of is farming Toady One for DFs.

they don't put i have a nice dark unlit room with no beds wth food and water slid in through a small passageway that is then blocked off. they stay tere until they die its nice down there but too much miasma! i really need to reform my prisons and asylums besides it also serves as a prison so yea its pretty much like the 1800's

Tried to have funish with some waterfall/pump stuff,I dont remember.

Designated to channel a floor near the brook. Actually,miners were busy with the dining room and other,so I forgot about it.

Two months later i find my farming level flooded.

Well,the good thing,is that I managed to floorhatch the entrance to the underground,so I dont have a geyser now.

And I also fortified all my dwarves and supplies I could on the workshop floor. Now I feel like a fucking fallout wastelander with a vault :3

I gave an axedorf a 2h adamantine masterwork sword.
He entered a martial trance and ran into a group of goblin lashers.

Me: Oh come on, I don't get this!  All the other miners are mining, why isn't THIS miner migrant mining?  I've been checking over him for a couple months, but nothing!  And he even has mining activated on his labor lists!  I don't get wha.................................................he doesn't have a pick, does he?

I've designed a nice z-level to dig just for bedrooms in a way that makes optimal use of the space while offering 2x3 rooms to everyone in my newest fort.
Only when the miners started digging, I did realize the layout looked a lot like swatiskas in boxes.
And it is starting to bother me.

That happened to me once. Except the bedrooms weren't on a bedroom-only level. Let's just they the fortress had some inexplicable open space scattered throughout it. I sympathize with you, dude.

I'd make an elven holocaust joke, but it would probably be in bad taste.

I like radial symmetry, but for anything to not look like a swastika it has to be so twisty that it loses the clean look, or large enough to either outgrow its swastika shape or look good as a curve.

[tree-puncher423]

me: okay now lets make a statue involving industry in our new kingdom/fortress...
Macriff Elkizers cancles engrave: interrupted by mummy. x17
Me: okay lets kill this thing!
Urist Alzacroff has made a sculpture.
Me: okay lets see what they sculptured.
<scrolls over>
There is a goblin, a bee hive, a dwarf, a tree, and an elf.
The goblin is chopping down the tree, the elf is in the tree, the dwarf is running away, the beehive is chasing the dwarf.
Me: WHAT THE FUCK?!?!! *face-palm* *head-desk* *gun-forehead* *bullet-brain* *self-reality* *tear-eye*

[Vorthon]

How does a beehive chase a dwarf?

I'm starting to learn it the harsh way. I'll just stick to gleeful chaos next times. It worked just as well before.
Also, fortunately, smoothing/engraving the walls and adding doors fixes everything.

A big moment for me was when I tried to lure a Fire Titan into my cage traps which happened to be in a grassy-forested area after it had murdered all of my military and caused a tantrum spiral. You can tell where it went from there. At least my fortress went out with a bang.
