I kept seeing a rock on my otherwise pristine area... kept trying to dump it.  No dwarf would touch it.  finally, I checked to see if it was forbidden.  Turned out I was trying to dump the dump

I found an axelord with multiple +5 legendary skills starved to death in a cage he fell into during a fistfight with another dwarf. He was literally within mere footsteps of the damn well too.

A copperstar room surrounded by windows is built to defend against migration, and a migrant who is killed, turns out to be a vampire. They are not really that tough!

I've been trying to build a 4 floor arena and before I finished channeling the 1st floor, I've already had 5 cave ins, in which two legendary miners got horribly injured. one can't walk due to a broken leg and the other can't grasp due to breaking both arms.

great practice for the hospital though.

Something that happens fairly often is I see a forgotten beast coming up from below, so we all gather behind the deeping gates. The entire army gathers behind the doors as we hear the fell beast slam furiously against it! I start up some epic music to set the mood, I brace myself for the battle of a lifetime.

Then it SMASHES the doors down! Then gets shot once in the head dieing instantly. Everybody goes home.

I discovered adamantine and mined it out for the first time. My +5 legendary weapon smith for one reason or another couldn't seem to make masterwork weapons from it most of the time which was driving me nuts. So I  quickly looked up the melt tables and at a glance it looked like melting my picks and battle axes and reforging them would actually net me a 120% return each time I did it. So I did the only logical thing which was I to melt down each and every battle axe and pick the smith made except for the masterwork ones. In the end I repeated this a couple of dozen times trying to reforge all his failures into master pieces.

Sometime after finally getting the handful of masterwork axes and picks I needed, I was looking through my stocks menu and to my horror I noticed all my glorious stacks of adamantine wafers were gone. They had vanished into thin air! Then the horror of what had happened dawned on me. I went back and looked at the wiki again and noticed underneath the melt table that adamantine was the exception to the rule and you lose 70% of it every time you melt down a weapon. I had vaporized 60 priceless wafers of adamantine.

After a majority of my legendary military and lots of civilian dwarves got webbed and slain by a web spitting coral forgotten beast, a farmer killed the thing by kicking its head off.

How anticlimactic. Here I was all prepared to watch the beast rampage through my fort, and then it goes and dies.

Well, on the bright side, one set of 500 adamantine coins split (via trading) and melted down yields you a net 49 wafers each round. It's 620 melt jobs to get all your wafers back, but at least you don't have to micromanage redesignating melt like when you fail to make a masterwork.

I have a LEVITATING Dwarven caravan.

I removed all the floors and walls under them. No luck. These bastards are stuck in mid-air.

How to get them down? ( That doesn't involve cave-ins or magma preferably. )

[TheKaspa]

Made an embark team with hens, a rooster, a couple of cows, good sets of skills.
Forgot the anvil.
For the first year I had a single miner, then I managed to buy an iron pick (I wanted a copper one, but the liaison had only irony).
I ordered for an anvil, since I have  plenty of copper and silver bars: got a swarm of miners in the next migrant weave.

I finally figured out how the military screen works ... damn, that's so frickin' easy and self explanatory once you got it. 'FACEPALM²'.

Or adamantine minecarts which cost 1 wafer and return 1.8 wafers.

Interesting. Seems it's because of this bug.

So all I need is 2 adamantine to clone it endlessly? * fanfare *

Hell yeah, and I was worried I'd have to melt coins...

i accidentally made my gemcutter build a jeweler without making sure he had an exit.
something i only noticed when the message "gem cutter has been missing for a week" appeared... such a newbie mistake.
