So I'm setting up five marksdwarves. I got enough steel crossbows, steel bolts and quivers, and I finally got my group to equip them (after telling them to replace their clothing with it). Except the militia captain simply doesn't equip anything now, he wanders around naked. The other four equip crossbow/quiver just fine. Anyone has any idea of what's wrong?

[Biowraith]

Is there any way to forbid dwarfs from standing on ice?

You could set up a burrow that covers everywhere except the frozen water then activate that burrow for the general population when the waters freeze (or keep it active all the time, though I don't know if that'd interfere with e.g. fishing).

[GaxkangtheUnbound]

Can dwarves assigned to multiple burrows move between the two?

Pretty sure thats a yes.

A lil question bout axles and Water wheels.

WW===g
           g====^   

Would the water wheels power the ^ with the = being axles W being water wheels and g being gear assembly?

Is this correct?

[Sphalerite]

Is this a side view or a top view?

The axles will need to be attached to the center tile of the water wheel, which seems to be the only part of it which is mechanically connected.  It's not clear from your diagram if the gears are supposed to be directly adjacent to each other (north/south or above/below) which they need to be for mechanical power to be transmitted.  If this is a side view, then you will need open space (no floor) between the gears for power to be transmitted.  And the destination of the power needs to be a pump or millstone, '^' usually notes a trap and traps don't need power.

[Roboboy33]

Side view and the ^ is just anythi or it goes on fartherm and it just an example.

[Sphalerite]

Then this will work, provided that the horizontal axle is connecting to the center tile of the water wheels, which are built over flowing water, and the two gears are directly one above the other with no floor in between, and the end piece is a pump or millstone.

How do I get more plump helmets and dimple cups? I embarked with them and had a working underground plump helmet farm for the first year now they don't seem to be getting replanted.

Where do I get more plump helmets?

[Sphalerite]

You get more plump helmets by planting farms with plump helmet spawn.  You get plump helmet spawn when a plump helmet is eaten or brewed, but not when one is cooked.  Plant plump helmet spawn, harvest plump helmets, brew the plump helmets into wine or let your dwarves eat them raw, and you'll get more plump helmet spawn to plant again.

Soo... My dwarf has been unconcious for awhile now. He seems to be missing a foot and a hand, as well as having another body part(Arm or leg) in yellow. It says as his current "job" that he's resting. I'm starting to wonder now if it's time to take him off life support?

check his health status and see if there're anything else your doc can do for him

My military commander just claimed a crafts workshop and started drawing pictures of skeletons.

I've had corpses littering the ground above my fortress for over a year, but apparently none make for workable bones.

How can I get him some bones fast?  Anybody know?

Much thanks.  I did not want that guy going berserk.  He's mean.
