Decided to dig out an underground lake next to the meeting hall. Y'know, a water feature.

Except for that I had no floodgates. So the water just kept coming.

I just realized what the OP of this thread meant... at least I didn't make too many constructions yet.

so i've only been playing for about a week. i've decided to start experimenting with the functions of bridges and the military and thought it'd also be a good idea to see if i can't make myself an indoor fishing facility. my goal was to cut myself off completely from the outside sans the occasional trade caravan coming in, and even then they'd have to go through a simple bridge airlock.

ANYWAY! there was a section of river very close to where i built my fort but, unlike the section i was currently using for fishing, this one was after a waterfall. while it was still winter and the river was frozen, i cut out the portion i was using for indoor fishing and put a bridge to close it off to a. invaders or b. if something went horribly wrong. and something did. when the river thawed, the waterfall poured and flooded the entire area i designated for fishing. unfortunately, the bridge wasn't linked yet and let's just say there's a lonely little dwarven kid whose father and father's friend was caught in an unfortunate waterfall incident.

Mod in new armor and weapons,

Forget to enable them for dwarves.

Cue facepalm.

Get used to kobolds.

Stop being obsessed with kobolds. (A little bit.)

Forget that thief is not yours.

I had a rather successful terrifying/untamed biome border fortress (though the population had a couple 80% drops :P ) with zombie dust weather. Nasty stuff. Anyway, after nearly 8 years I decided start collecting the huge amounts of steel that the caravans had "forgotten" on the outside (I had no iron). I was bored having to deal with the dust on nearly each item I "borrow" from my generous (and deceased) friends so I decided to install a mist generator above my staging area near my main gate.

Everything worked fine until I realized that every darn cat, yak and puppy that decided to walk past it got infected by the dust on the floor. (Yes, I had pets in a fort that was mostly inside an evil biome)
This wouldn't have been a serious problem but some how one of my axelords somehow got infected and the door to the main fortress was stuck open..
