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

*Raid returns*

We have brought back the wealth of our target.  Wait, Urist seems to be taller than when we left. What gives?

*In a voice like the whisper of death* The fortress has been reclaimed!

Haha, something like that. They came back in the middle of the onslaught and decided not to help.

*Raid returns*

Urist- Thank Armok you're here! We're under attack, please sa-
McAxeDwarf- No thanks, I have to wait for Vucar and the rest of the guys to come back.
Urist- But we're dying!
McAxeDwarf- We fight together or not at all

Then after everyone else got back they decided to drink and sleep for ages before looking for equipment and complaining it had all been burned while they were screwing around

I have seen worse. The siege places itself in an odd position that just HAPPENS to be where my raid is returning... One dwarf at a time.... I lost half my elite soldiers that way.

Well I've got a new facepalm today.

One of my siege defenses is a bunch of retracting spears in front of a few doors. During the siege I have a dwarf in a boxed in room just spamming that lever. It works well. The siege is broken and I send everyone to go pick up the scraps from the battle. And then I start getting messages about people being found dead. After the first few I think Oh, stupid dwarves. And then 5 more are found dead... Wait a second, what's going on?. 14 deaths later and I check the combat log. They are all shown fighting...copper...spears... I forgot to cancel the pull lever order. Dwarves have started tantruming now.

Good the dwarves are too stupid to be angry at the level puller. In real life he would be doomed.

aswell as the one who forgot to tell him to stop.

More of a personal face-palm moment... My keyboard seemed to be broken, yet escape and enter still worked so I could save my fort.  Text pad then clued me in to the fact that CAPSLOCK WAS ON

I just finished my raw edits in time for the new release. |:p

Use git, Luke!

You need to keep 2 branches: first is the vanilla DF changes, second is your raw changes. Every time DF releases, you need to commit vanilla changes in its branch, then merge it into your raw changes.

You can look my commits here, for example: https://github.com/AngelicosPhosphoros/AngelicosPhosphorosDFMod

I got annoyed with my dwarfs using the various metal cages imported animals had come in to re-load the cage traps in the third cavern (about twohundred tiles away), instead of the homemade wooden cages. So i ordered all loose metal cages brought to the depot and traded off for a symbolic lead bar.

Shortly before the caravan left (too short to get a dwarf to the depot), i checked the mandates again and noticed that our beloved duchess had declared an export ban. And the only items she cares about are of course cages. To make things more annoying, i had forgotten to remove the hammerer role when instituting the injustice system, so not only did five dwarfs get tied up on ropes for 76 days, eight dwarfs were sentenced to one hammerstrike each.

I solved the hammerstrike issue by unassigning the hammerer, but it was still stupid to try and export cages with a duchess with only that item preference.

My hammerer just killed my main medical dwarf. The only good dianostician in my fort. I gave her an admantine hammer! But she threw it away and took the heaviest gold one!

If she likes cages so much, maybe you should be really nice to her and put her in one?

is that a legit option? ^^ maybe she is into such kinky stuff...
awaiting the psychology update with fetishes lol nope, that would be too much

[Tartlman]

Probably the dumbest thing i've ever done is designate an area, SUSPENDED OVER THE DINING HALL, to be channeled all at once.

oof

I've been playing DF nearly 10 years at this point.

I just drowned half my fortress.
