Irresponsible deconstruction of some scaffolding knocked a legendary mason down an eerie glowing pit.

I put the corpse stockpile on the wrong side of the 50% evil embark area.

I tried to use dfhack's quicksave command but the command line box brought up die command instead(I pressed the up arrow key)...
And my progess died with it.



Edit*

Fine, the save was before my expedition leader was beaten up by a giant olm. At least I can save a crutch.

Got a siege in an early fortress. Locked up the fort, but they just WOULD. NOT. LEAVE. Veritable army of antmen in the cavern. Had the bright idea of making them fight each other. That didn't happen, and while digging the tunnel to the surface I forgot to seal up the hole in the wall back into the fortress.

The only survivor was the bookkeeper who was locked in her office.

Step 1) Build water jet cutter in goblin entry hallway.
Step 2) Forget to seal off the main tank.
Step 3) Not notice until the main tanks overload and flood 2/3ds of the fortress (too busy digging a spiral hole).

AUGH! This will take forever to clean!

I just found out you can build free-hanging upward slopes. Derp

My manager/broker/bookkeeper fell from a tree and smashed an ankle and was put into traction.

Now my CMD is a legendary diagnostician.

Damn keas.

I forgot dwarves throw dumped items into a hole if it is directly adjacent to the dumpzone. Too bad that this hole was also the way out of my soon to be plumbing, so a lot of dorfs came from there with more stuff to dump. Even though it was only one z-level, two dorfs got killed by rocks and another three recieved major injuries. At least the hospital was ready (apart from the wells, obviously, oh, and I needed to make a traction bench for one of the injured ones.).

One of my last embarks put me on thin ice off the shore ...

I still wonder how they even got out there with that wagon.

And I wonder how I was supposed to them back on land without anyone(/everyone) drowning.


(Didn't like the whole region, so I didn't even try to save them.)

I think you could've used the logs from the wagon to build a 9x1 bridge.

I built a wall and a retracting bridge after a small encounter with a large beast. After I finished the construction, some migrants walked over the river with no problem. Naturally, as I am new to this, I built this over a BROOK. So anything could get in anyways!

Dumping the remains of a fiery forgotten beast is a bad idea if you've previously put a lot of flammable rendered fat there.

Lots of livestock got incinerated.  Lots of stockade bridges got destroyed.

However, FPS has increased to a whopping 15FPS now!  Go fire!

Or mined out some of the ice to build one.
