Double dose of goblin ambush quickly went to hell because I forgot to make the new recruits quivers! D:<

When you find adamantium, make the armor first.

[Jack_Bread]

There's no adamantine on the map. I made them iron chain mail, though.

[Kidiri]

Do you have flux? If so, then make steel. It improves the effectiveness with 33%. And give you recruits armour when sparring, it increases their armour using skill, which decreases the effective weight of worn items (clothing AND armour). This, in turn, reduces encumbrance, which increases speed. And there's also the fact that a legendary armour user has another 18000 experience, which increases their attributes, making them stronger, tougher, and/or faster. Also shields. More block chance, more experience, more attributes.

This isn't a facepalm on my part but on the randomness of my engravers.

My bookkeeper/manager/broker was complaining about not having a good enough room so I ordered the walls to be engraved.One of my engravers made a picture of the noble surrounded by purring maggots and looks terrified IN HIS ROOM!

I guess everytime he wants to go to sleep he gets to see one of the worst memories of his life right across the room.

Brought one pick.  Decided to switch miners.  Previous miner drops his pick.  Right next to a bunch of rhesus macaques.  Hilarity ensues.

At least I brought an axe so I could use wood.  Wasn't planning on making it an outdoor fortress though.

[Jack_Bread]

I requested some flux and charcoal from the liaison.

I made cork as a practice metal(which the dwarf caravans keep using for cages. ). I made a smelter reaction to make cork bars from wood, BUT I screwed up the reaction and it doesn't produce anything.

Move him out of that room fast, a picture of anything the dwarf dislikes lowers the perceived value like mad.

Similar story: I was trying to get my embark-bought leather out of the wagon since I'd been a bit lax in digging out workshop zones, when some hoary marmots show up, spook the haulers off, and steal five pieces of Donkey Leather and some spider silk thread.

I guess you could say they made an ass out of me.

[Blargityblarg]

Hoary marmots don't steal. They are, however, either identical or one shade off identical to rhesus macaques, which do.

[Kidiri]

Maybe he confused them with hoarding marmots.

[Loyal]

No, he's right, I got 'em confused with the Macaques.

I lost my trader/clerk/manager/engraver (a founding member) in a magma-channeling accident. Which is confusing because he had absolutely no reason to be down there in the first place, that I know of.

I also lost my miner (also a founder) in the same month in a cave-in, so I am understandably a little worried about the rest of my founders.

Would putting a statue in front of the engraving work? If I recall correctly, walls directly behind a statue aren't counted towards room value because they're not visible.

You'd also have to cover all diagonal views and redesignate the room.
