Assuming my dwarves needed ramps to use wheelbarrows, I build an elaborate ramp system so they can access everything.

Then I see them taking the stairs with the wheelbarrows in tow, empty, and full.

But at least now you have an elaborate ramp system!

Send dwarves to kill gorlak that keeps interrupting things.

Lose three dwarves. Cue string of trantrums and food being thrown around.

Oh, and run in with a GSC. Wonder why miner is not being cleaned and stitched up, realize this layer lacks water.  *headdesk x4*

I just noticed that my dwarves somehow managed to build a wheelbarrow into a wall.

if playing 34.0? (forgot which one), exotics breed and since elves gave them to you, they don't need taming. I'm also pretty sure you can go into the save raws and edit them out there. I once edited them so snake eggs would hatch and it worked.

I just realized (after years of playing DF) that you can designate digging areas over multiple z-levels by simply selecting the starting tile on the first z-level, going down the wished number of levels and then selecting the ending tile on the last level.

All the precious time wasted by stoicly designating stairs, going down a level, designating stairs, going down a level, etc like a robot. I always knew about the macro stuff, but never bothered to use it... but this, boy I feel like a caveman who miraculously got his hands on a futuristic fusion self-powered jackhammer and then used it like a deformed pickaxe to smash stone.

Yeah, that's a bug that will be fixed in the next release:

I noticed that my mayor had a [DEMAND] for the first time in my experience.

Demands: Green glass bed in Dining Room.

ಠ_ಠ


Time to test my new dungeon.

Unfulfilled demands do not end in prison for anyone.  They just end in the noble getting huffy and possibly throwing a tantrum.  Make sure they are happy otherwise, and they will gladly forget about their failed demands.  Also, I think happy nobles make fewer demands.

Only vaguely. Made of the same substance and put to the same use, but a bit like comparing a castle and a doublewide trailer.

Didn't like the staircase from my walled aboveground statue garden/cave adaptation fighter extending through the ceiling of the office below, so I constructed floors there to seal it up, thinking they'd only seal off the lower level.  Snack bar ran out, and I was too busy fighting off a siege to notice anything amiss until a couple dozen dwarves died of thirst.  Whoops.

Listen up: making a thing a ‼thing‼ doesn't make it more awesome or extreme.  It simply indicates the thing is on fire.  Get it right or look like a silly poser.

It's useful to keep a ‼torch‼ handy.
