I apologize if this has been mentioned before.

Occasionally on the embark preparation screen, there will be NO underground products available. No underground plants, no underground wood, and no underground animal products. It seems to happen more when I set the historical end date to 2 in world-gen, but that may just be coincidence. Or it could be intentional, as the 2 year old places might not have those wonderful plump helmet spawn to send me off with.

A small but rather annoying bug.

When mining in a cavern, the moment a miner hits the stone, it tells me that "ive struck every single visible mineral in the cavern"

This seems like works-as-designed to me. Why shouldn't the game report on your discoveries? It's good to have a textual list to scan through rather than having to move the cursor over every odd-coloured bit of rock manually to see what's down there and maybe miss that outcropping of black diamonds or whatever.

When in the military screen, if you go to the schedules, then use tab to switch to the order list, then press the key to switch alert levels (/*), it crashes.

Military problems--I'm not sure what the expected behaviors are, but:

 - when squad has 'no scheduled order', some of the squad members are still training. If this is expected, it is unclear how to tell a squad to deactivate, stand down, and go about civilian life for a while.
 - when squad has orders to train, it seems one of my 4 dwarves in the squad feels that hauling jobs are more important. All the other dwarves are standing around waiting to start while he does job after job. Manually disabling his other jobs gets him to go train with them. This is unfortunate, as then I have to remember to reactivate the jobs on the squad's off-months so he isn't useless.

For some reason, my rag-tag military left three steel shortswords lying around, in preference to an iron shortsword (and neither were materials he liked).

In the liaison screen where you request goods for their next arrival, under pets some of the creatures were doubled.

e.g.

cow
horse
horse
donkey
cat
cat
dog
dog


I imagine this is due to them being available as males or females only, but the screen didn't make clear which line was for which gender.

[Lord Shonus]

got my first game breaking one.
I wanted to assign my expedition leader to medical duty during embark.
this are his skills:

Spoiler: skills in spoiler (click to show/hide)

and these are the results:

Spoiler: result1 (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: result2 (click to show/hide)

diagnosis: giving one dwarf administrative abilities in more than one field during embark crashes the nobles system.
can anyone confirm?

No...I've routinely given my leader/broker/bookkeeper medical skills, and haven't had these problems.

Found another bug though:
Genned a new world, and loaded my saved embark profile. I was informed that cave fish and lobsters were unavailable. However, I can still buy them from the fish menu!

Were they duplicated in the list menu like they're currently supposed to be?

Right now, because of castes, it should be

turtle
turtle
cave lobster
cave lobster
cave fish
cave fish

If it's listed like this, it's a bug.

If it's listed


turtle
cave lobster
cave fish

then your civ is lacking access to one of the castes. (Which would b a different bug.)

Look in errorlog.txt in the same directory as DF. What does it say?

Liason fell to death and died in my meeting hall.  His body was hauled to the graveyard stockpile properly until I got some coffins set up.

When the coffins were built and set to take corpses, the liaison's body vanished from the graveyard stockpile and reappeared back EXACTLY where he died.  Except now it said (Liaison name here)'s skeleton, it was then hauled into a coffin.

GHOSTS!  AGAIN!  This version is haunted.

EDIT: Digging out a moat to my fortress. Miner removed most of the ramps on one side and was working on the other.  A mason suddenly appeared in the trench stunned, then a carpenter.  After awhile it stopped.  I'm thinking they expected the ramp that was recently removed to still be there and fell off the edge into the trench.  Woulda sucked for them if that trench was any deeper or filled with water or magma.

Embarked on a dark fortress. there was a temple there with floors built out of petrified wood and with walls of rocksalt. the walls were engraved. Just broke into a cavern, and directly beneath said temple there is a large engraved area the same dimensions as the temple. There are no other on-map entrances to the caverns than the one i just carved.

Sounds like it could just be some sort of HFS

that's what I thought at first, except there were no announcements about it, and it is directly beneath said temple with exactly the same size tile to tile.

Yes, all were in duplicate.

[Kode527]

I had a weird bug today where all of my dwarfs, along with cats, dogs, and donkey, mysteriously and systematically bled to death, until my Fortress was no more.

No sign of any creatures, or diseases. It also happened to two separated groups, at about the same time. One was near a river, while the other was gathered around my wagon.

I have had this one 2 times. Probably it has something to do with way too hot temperature. Usually they die when it starts to rain, dunno if the water that rains is boiling or something. Just keep your dwarves inside and they won't die.
