I just realized why my jeweler starved herself to death.

The jeweler's workshop apparently was placed in a location where she shut herself in the room behind it..

W = wall
S = stockpile
F = floor
J = Jeweler's workshop
C = corpse of jeweler

Oddly this problem has not been encountered for any other workshop using this setup.

So this I guess serves as a warning-- the Jeweler's workshop (no other workshops confirmed) blocks the movement of dwarves!

When building a workshop, darker green X shapes will tell you which parts are impassible.

Ah... thank you!

@Before lifer:

Y'know, you could've brought some stone with you, brought a mechanic, built a support, made some mechanisms, built a lever, then hooked up the support to the lever so you could have could have collapsed stuff from a distance, right?

Yes i do know that but i wanted to try it as a minimulistice and i only brought 2 copper nuggets. Im still suprised that the cavein dust that hit my miner lanched him 2 z levels into the air. It disaped right after lanching him too! Ah well I need to have some forts that have a few deaths early on for once XD

My best mildorf was hit up onto a the wall that surrounds the above ground training facility. I let the fort run and come back to see him dead from thirst.

He was hit up there while sparring. :\

Dwarven jewelers are not called "sucicide booth enthusiasts" for nothing.

More of a face desk really. Realized instead of building paved roads I'd been placing floor tiles. D'oh.

Well, he's now occupying the first and only coffin/burial chamber I've had to make so far.

Mostly because usually when my dwarves die they die in unison.  This jeweler jumped the gun.  Or the jumped the hammer for a more thematic term.

on one of the older versions I equipped my entire militia with training weapons and accidentally trained one gobbo into a legendary spear goblin much !!fun!! was had when he eventually massacred my entire militia.

I lost an entire squad (7 dwarves) to a single sturgeon, said sturgeon also slaughtered 16 other dwarves because instead of drinking the huge quantities of booze stashed away in the easily accessible stockpile, the went to the river. the thing was finally killed when a peasant knocked out in a goblin raid finally regained consciousness, went to the river for water, (DAMN!!) pulled the sturgeon out, and punched it to death.

A solution to this problem for the future:  Build a channel that redirects the river in a U-shape, reconnecting with the river itself afterwards to keep the water as running water.  DO NOT let the water into the channel yet.  Build two grates, one on each end, and  THEN channel out the last two blocks to let the water flow through.  Designate a drinking area in this new channel.

sturgeon or surgeon?

So, got five years into a new fort. Snakeleaves or something like that. Was going well, had a surplus of everything, no invaders yet, blah blah. Good going stuff. Oh noes, an ambush! Go, admittedly untrained military! Oh... oh. You get murdered in five seconds flat. Er... um... Everyone inside, shut up the gates, it'll be okay while I get a danger room set up to go and kill 'em in a season or two! Wait, Urist McMiner has died of thirst? What the what what? Checked the Z-stocks screen. Oh. I'd apparently forgotten to make drinks for three years. >.> Those are important. All 60 some remaining dorfs in my fort fall over dead within twenty minutes of each other. Face, meet palm. >.<

Well, I just breached the ocean about 15z down on accident.

This is going to end badly, all my miners (and picks!) are trapped in very rapidly flooding passages.

Fixed that mistake, and made another of the same type.   This time, I hit the ocean dead on instead of a corner....

And my entire fortress was underwater before anyone could blink.
