This is a pretty strong facepalm, I almost don't wanna post it.  Almost, because here I am.

Anyway.  Been playing for a few months now, gone through maybe 30 forts, all told.  Used magma in the more recent half.  Magma smelters, magma traps, magma garbage disposal, and I finally realized something I should have realized long ago.

"Open Space
Magma [7/7]"

This means that square is full of magma, not just an empty space over top of magma.  So many times I've carefully scouted tunnels all the way down next to semi-molten rock, just to get the same red stuff that was several z-levels above...

That hurts, man. I dunno what it is, but that just gave me an overwhelming face palm emotion even though I wasn't the one that did it. Digging down to SMR to get magma is honorable but sad. Even sadder if some of those times you embarked on volcanos.

4chan is that way.

That incident was really what clued me in to the depth this game can offer, though that one time I made a fort of 150 dwarves suspended over a gorge and cut it all loose was pretty fun too.

The trade dwarfs came, and somehow they manage to go through the routine before I could get all my trade items to the depot. No imported food for me...

You don't have to wait for all of your goods to get to the depot. You can trade anytime you have a trader at the depot, even if some stuff is in transit.

For future reference, elks = E. Elves = e, or an e with two dots over it.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

Well, not exactly. I mean, E can be an elephant but it can ALSO be an elk.
Gray E = Elephant.
Brown E = Elk.

In some cases, these both can be very very bad.
Mostly around evil biomes, because you know, there's nothing more horrible than hordes of skelks.
Just ask Hellcannon.
