Stark raving mad dwarves just run around naked, babbling like idiots.

Don't normal dwarves do that on a regular basis?

[phoenixuk]

Only recently realised that dwarves will pick a bedroom for themselves once generated... i've been manually assigning bedrooms to my dwarves up until now.

you're not alone bro, you're not alone *hugs in understandment*

i was preparing myself for a siege, building towers, walls the likes of which you've never seen, enormous moats...and had the stupid idea of putting "fire at will" to the ballistas and catapults.
which meant that many, many dwarfs who were farming in the open fields, or the woodcutters, who had the bad idea of placing themselves near or on the trajectory to wild beasts...died.
and all before the siege took place.

Map without sand.

So I finaly find the magma some 100z down and make my all magma indrusty down there. With the nice dropdown dump chute that I can use to dump all the ore, flux and charcoal down. And all the sandbags I bought from the merchants.

And the dwarfs dump the sand and the bags in the garbage dump.

Don't feel too bad, I'd gone through a dozen fortresses - many with walls all the way around the map - before realizing that you don't have to build walls one tile at a time.

So, I make a bedroom and they'll just claim it without my advice? HELL YEAH

[MythagoWoods]

As long as you designate it as a bedroom then they'll take it.  Otherwise they'll just take turns sleeping in it.

Alright. I've been having my fort run for many years right now. Everything is running smoothly, people are happy, mandates are being met, and there have been some purposely made unfortunate accidents happening to the nobles (although some civilians have been caught in the chaos i.e the magma bedroom, spear dining room, the throne room of doom.) Much to my dismay, some nobles are coming in to replace the dead. I figure I get everything back in order but as my mining expedition comes closer to the circus, nobles are now bitching about getting items from stones or metal I don't have enough of. Dwarves are being punished and most of my miners are in that group, so I decide to assign the nobles to replace them. After a few minutes of waiting, I get the message I've been waiting for, the discovery of the circus. I don't give them a way out and let them release the clowns. As I laughed at them dieing and running around, I forget to block the hole they've been digging out. The clowns began their show and all were invited to see. Soon, my fortress crumbled. It was good day at The Bell of Air ran by the Fresh Prince

Basically you just need to dig out the rooms, stick the bed in, make it a bedroom, and they'll work out who sleeps where themselves. This one bit of noobism has cost me hours of play time as i manually assigned each and every immigrant a room. It also screwed up the room assigments when the mayor switched, as you'd have to go manually find the new mayors room to free it up, or he'd have two bedrooms When i found out they find a room themselves i facepalmed so hard i left a ring imprint in my eyebrow.

They do that with any room they can, assuming they have reason to use it in the first place.

Spent days of work creating a magma piston, carving out magma forges, pumping the surprisingly small amount of magma over to my minimally-sized cistern (more like a set of trenches)...

There are a few rogue 3/7s left to screw up the forges. Nearest magma is 35 Z levels down...

For the first and hopefully last time ever, it's time to reach for dfliquids...

A woodcutter named Kel Asnoglesh was savaged in the first cavern by a Draltha. (Which surprised me because I'd seen them as subterranean cattle!) Guess what 'Asnoglesh' means?

Spoiler: That's right! (click to show/hide)

Cavesavage. A Dwarf named Cavesavage was savaged in the caves.

The spinning pun strikes the Forumite in the head, bruising the skull and bruising the brain!

The forumite gives in to pain.

To be fair, "cave cattle" ain't too far off.
Just a malajusted giant cave-mammoth off...
