Never heard of it, and it wouldn't be too difficult to check. A least my dwarves don't seem to mind minecarts that has killed half a dozen of their number before.

@scourge: That's rather unusual modding, given that pet ducks don't fly in vanilla. 

That said, unpastured pets flock to meeting areas. Easy enough to use one as lure - if they fly, just make it 1 high.

This Butterfree was in fact, not going anywhere near the meeting zone, it was sitting in trees and right next to land and when I cut down the tree or built towards it it would go somewhere else every time

I just noticed the well-minced dwarven beer.

So I almost missed the traders. Apparently you can't leave your burrow. So I gave the broker and mayor their own special bonus burrows.

So, I forgot to pasture a stray cow, so it starved in the main hall. Too far from the hastily-placed butcher's workshop to butcher, so I ordered it dumped next to the workshop.

I forgot that I placed the dump zone not just next to the workshop, but also next to a pool of water. Good news is it'll be decomposing into beef stew next to the butcher's workshop, instead of rotting in the main hall.

You wouldn't have been able to butcher it anyway, unless your butcher's shop dump zone is for reanimating dead tame animals.

What? Madness? The idea was dump it in reach of the workshop then unforbid it. It wasn't a pet, but a stray. >.o

AFAIK butchers won't butcher any domesticated animal corpses (no matter cause of death). Only way you can butcher one is if it's alive and brought to the workshop.

Reanimated animals aren't domestic so you can remurder them and butcher the corpse IIRC.

Mierda. D:

Meanwhile, I done derped. I set it so that the settlement would start with an expedition leader, who would upgrade to a lord once the settlement hit 20 citizens and became a hamlet.

However, I set the lord to not be elected because duh, and not be appointed because the only position that makes sense for that is the law-giver, and civ-level appointing doesn't work that well. So the position would never appear until I deleted the expedition leader.

Then again, even tiny hamlets with no mead hall tend to have a lord/lady, so if I retain this change in the future it'll be better flavor AND add to the early-game challenge by having a whiny noble right off the bat.

I might tone down the room requirements though. At a bare minimum I can see needing a series of baron-quality tombs if lords keep dying will get annoying fast.

One time I embarked and I thought I had a really good start and then I realized I didn't load up any farmers.
