[Urist Tilaturist]

A dwarf about channel out the very last bearing floor of the two tiles he is standing on. Over a pit which at this point was 5 Z-levels down to the bottom.

Which race do you have in mind when you say ETHNIC:NO_FUN:EXILE? Recreating the Trail of Tears or anything similar will create quite a ruckus among the politically correct members of this forum.

I'm in the process of trying to make some soap and set up a hospital, in the meanwhile, I had an injured dorf with the inability to stand that was stuck in a hallway, being brought food and water when he got hungry or thirsty, but no one would move him. He eventually got tired of this $#!+ and went berzerk.

Turns out going berzerk cures the inability to stand.

His rampage was cut short, however, when he decided to head away from the main living area and into the trapped goblin-entrance, walking right into a cage trap. So I now have a miraculously-cured-of-crippling-injuries-but-batshit-crazy dwarf in a cage.

Edit to add: ...and someone just brought him food, so despite being berzerk, he's still eating.

Stupidest fortress failure:
* Don't bring any drink, because humans can drink water without bad thoughts (All Races Playable mod).
* Everybody dehydrates to death just before breaching cavern with lakes in it.

No, wait, stupidest fortress failure:
* Still don't bring any drink, because humans can drink water without bad thoughts (All Races Playable mod).
* Breach cavern with lakes in it just in time. Build up/down stairway down to the top of the lake.
* Giant toad knocks all seven dwarves into the water where they all drown.
* Still blinking blue 'thirsty!' warning signs right up until they die.

So when you push humans down the stairs they will turn into thirsty dwarves and drown? Interesting.

I think they mean that they forgot they were playing dwarves.

Yep.

oh well, my dorfs never have drink. all of them have to gather plants first, and i start brew after a year, mostly no one gets mad.

In a "Whoops! Flooding" situation.
* Frantically order a dwarf to mine to the edge of the map.
* Get him to smooth an edge tile.
* Order him to carve fortifications.

Last message he saw:
"~ cancels carve fortifications: Dangerous terrain."

D'OH!

>>>What is life.

Life is apparently quite a FUN.

Life is, in a word, Fun.

FTFY

[Professor Lemur]

I'm sure there's some sort of wise analogy about the cruelties of life, expressed through babies somehow being depressed enough to end their miserable life.

I don't think he'd be cured of injuries, he's probably just angry enough to drag himself along with his arms.

[gunpowdertea]

It probably does cure it, might be wnated (like with were-creatures) or a bug. Have you checked mantis?

[DubDub]

Just...
