Dug out a new room and wanted to clear out the stone. Obliviously created the dump zone adjacent to the ramp the dwarfs would use to haul the stone to the dump zone (because, usually it is a stairs, not a ramp). Flipped to check something else and came back to "found dead.... found dead... found dead..." and a number of wounded. I suspect they named the new game "Dwarf Bowling" or "King of the Hill".

Built a fort next to a necromancer's tower. Never really got my feet under me enough to make a good military. Dug out a new entrance with a bridge and all for the incoming traders.

When the wave of undead show up, I flip the lever to see that I hadn't set it as a drawbridge - instead, a retracting bridge. I watch helplessly as the undead crush all my dwarves' skulls.

This is beautiful not only because this is the wrong thread but also because I've done exactly the same thing.

This is beautiful not only because this is the wrong thread but also because I've done exactly the same thing.

That strikes me as definitely a face-palm moment.  Maybe not DF-related, but certainly a face-palm.

The best part is that I am successfully eating tuna and crackers as I read this response.

For some time now I've been working on a custom embark.  One of the requirements is that I bring the necessary goods to pierce an aquifer.  Now I like two screw pumps for aquifer piercing, and I like magma safe so I can use them later.  So ... 2 glass screws, 2 glass pipes, 2 glass blocks, 2 magma-safe rock mechanisms.......

umm....  2 mechanisms???

Yeah, so, for all these embarks I've been bringing enough rock to cover 5 mechanisms, three for a lever and a bridge (really a basic safety requirement IMO) and 2 for ... screw-pumps......     Except I just found out this morning I don't need mechanisms for screw pumps .....

So why have I been bringing those two extra rock all this time???

Had a fully-kitted squad of Legendary Hammerdwarves killing stuff in cavern 1 to pass time. Lost them all to one GCS

[HellTiger]

for the second time, in a second fort, i channeled out some arrow save space at the archer training range, over my dining hall.

[Troll_Kaiser177]

Tried out my first screw pump today. I feel like that's enough of a description for you guys.

[Dunamisdeos]

I bet it worked

Yeah it kinda worked like this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1887_Yellow_River_flood

Several seasons ago I formed two more squads, and when their equipment was produced, I set their order to training.

Now, I noticed that neither of them had gained any skill, even though the first squad was already at least Skilled. The reason? I forgot to add their squads to the barracks.

Decided to open HFS. Forgot all my military dwarves were on a raid

[HMD Majesty]

I dropped a grate down an aquifer drain.

It landed in the lowest level of the aquifer, so now I'm down one grate.
