Stopping champions sparring... put them on duty, they should realise they need to drink.

Tried that but they still won't stop. I've also tried switching out their equipment, dumping their inventory items, and building a workshop on top of them.

I'm gonna try channeling out the floor beneath them when I get home from work later..

that dragon still stands around where it appeared on the map
i noticed that there is a murky pool in front of the dragon with a goblin in it.
could this be the reason why it doesn't want to come and chew on my dwarves

Tossing them in a cave-in works.

Cave-in worked! Thanks everyone.

I can't tell if this was a lame bug, or if it was my champions pet Camel, Camel McStupid, standing on top of them and pinning them to the ground. 

I can just imagine the two of them strangling the heck out of eachother while gasping out, "Ahm so thirstah!".

My farm has an unusual error message...

"No seeds available for this location"

In an attempt to build an underground farm ... above ground, I think I broke all my farms

Normally, if I don't have the seeds available, it still lets me plant them (the wiki says that too!!), but I think that the reason behind the problem is my farm layout:

The bottom 5x5 farm plot has a sunshade (made out of limestone), and plants and trees are spread out inside the farms ... are any of these the reason why I can't grow food??

Please answer quick!! It is summer, and my dwarves food supplies are growing unnervingly low!!

[Jim Groovester]

When you loo'k' over the farm tiles, are they listed as underground or above ground?

If above ground, you can only plant above ground crops in that location, and you likely don't have any above ground seeds. I suggest gathering some of them. This will also help with your desperate food shortage.

What does it mean when a dwarf claims a workshop? One of mine just did, the same little moron also made an announcement pop up saying he was withdrawing from society, what does that mean?

[Jim Groovester]

He's entered a strange mood. If he can gather enough materials within a set amount of time, he will begin working. At the end, he will produce an artifact, an object of immense value and quality.

This has the answers regarding the dwarf that claimed a workshop.

[Psilobe]

Thanks    Now I'll just hope that he isnt just a nutter and creates something epic or else I will have to build my first torture chamber, cause you can torture them right?

[Jim Groovester]

Torture your dwarves? Yes, yes you can. Just not directly. That is to say, you can't order one dwarf to inflict harm on another, but that doesn't mean that with enough creativity you can't torture your dwarves on your own.

It's a bug. My fortress guards kept doing it, until I undermined the barracks.

[Psilobe]

Got another little question, how do I build a hole in the floor? Going to build an underground well and need to remove some dirt it seems.

[Jim Groovester]

d -> h

Channel out the tile if it's not constructed.

d -> n

Remove the floor if it's constructed.

[Psilobe]

Thanks, while we are at it, it there any way to get a nice overview of what's in your stockpiles?
