So did you not have a pick?
I'm still confused about why having no mountain would have much of an effect on gameplay.

[Flaming Toadstool]

Well i was not possible to do anything but wait because i had no carpenter and  dwarfs cant dig snow

Acutally, they can with a pick. If you have no elevation at all, just channel down.

Had my engraver decide to bath in some magma to wash off Kobold Blood (Must be a water/magma identification bug, I suppose.) Needless to say, he died a dwarfy death, and is now haunting still dead my Magma Smelting room.

Don't geese have anything better to do to walk into my traps?
Now I have four caged geese, some more of them dead and goose blood everywhere...

Tame them, and use them to build a birdsplosion trap. (Somebody started a thread about them, but I'm too lazy to find the link at the moment.)

Just now noticed in the bring goods to depot screen I can filter items by name with "e".  Please don't tell me that's been there since 2D or I'm going to feel exceptionally stupid.

Also can chance sorting order from 'by distance' to 'by value'.

It's been there since 40d or before, both of them

Too late, I butchered most of them....birdsplosion? Guess I need to search for that.

[Dutchling]

They lay a crapload of eggs, which basically causes the birdsplosion.

I finally discovered that you can mass-select enemies for killing. :/ No need to keep track on the battlefield as much now!

Not realizing that water flows diagonally.                    Urist McMiner: this farm plots gonna be great!           5 minutes later. . . . . .        save the alchohol! Put  the floating barrels back in the stockpile! Go go go!

Getting water to flow diagonally is actualy very handy, as it eliminates water pressure.

I think I might have made a small mistake.

Building an underground sewer system with a series of pressure plates and levers to provide water for the jail, hospital, meeting hall, etc. Everything is set, everything is sealed, there is only the last element remaining which is to channel the river into the tunnel.

Not a problem. Done this a thousand times.

Urist McBabysitter is my miner. Mining pick in the right hand, baby in the left, child tagging along to watch.

Urist channels and, as water starts flowing in, the child falls in. The tunnel floods and she jumps into the sealed tunnel after him.

Desperately, we mine into the tunnel so that she can outrun the flood with her children back to the safety of the fort, and then hopefully we can seal up the hole before the water reaches us. We break through and she runs out, then about a dozen dorfs rush into the tunnel to pick up non-forbidden stones.

To hell with them, seal up the tunnel!

Urist McHydrophobia cancels construct building: dangerous terrain

Crap.

Looks like a case o' duplicated raw entries to me, that it does.

But seriously, go through the raws and check if there's any duplicated raw entries.
