well, they are doing everything right. they just go to the burrow and find something to do there. so yeah.
jk!
the thing is that you need to assign them to military squads and leave them. activate them if you want (I'm tired now, if you need help just ask) and they should start training. but modify the burrow to allow access to the food/booze pile otherwise they'll starve to death/dehydrate

So theres something at my farmers shop thats been causing miasma but i just cant figure out what it is.  Any tips for figuring it out and dumping it?

[TolyK]

press [ t ] and hover over the workshop to see what's inside. look for "rotten". I think you can dump it through the menu.

On the [t] menu, press [ d ] on the rotten item.

Be sure to establish a garbage dump outside your fort first...

I've run into a problem with my game: my butcher's shop doesn't seem to be working anymore. I can't tell if it's related to being sieged for some reason, but marking an animal for slaughter doesn't cause the job to appear in the butcher's shop. I've slaughtered many animals leading upto this point, so I have no idea why it's not working. Also, requesting the job on the manager screen doesn't put the job into the butcher's shop either.

Has anyone had this happen? Would check the wiki.. but.. yeah.

Did you reassign everybody to burrows during the siege, and is the shop outside of the burrow? Did you forbid any materials during the siege and accidentally cause a workshop made of those materials to become forbidden? Did any building destroyers start doing their thing to that workshop? Did a building destroyer's handiwork cause access to that workshop to be cut off?

Really starting to piss me off now.
I have a refuse pile, a corpse pile and a zone designated as a garbage dump.

Why the hell won't my idlers pick the god damn dragonfly remains up?!

[Antonater]

if its outside you have to set their work orders to pick up outside refuse

A titan just showed up as a caravan was leaving. If they get slaughtered by it, will the civilization blame me?

edit: Ok hypothetical question, suppose some merchants went stark raving mad because they couldn't leave because of a titan, and suppose I retracted my skybridge, and suppose they are all dead now. Is that civ pissed off at me now?

Can miasma be sorted out 'internally' by any means besides trickery with the game?

Like, I made an "outdoor" farm by making a hole then paving over it. Can I do the same to keep miasma off my refuse pile?

Does proximity / number of goblin fortresses in relation to your fort increase the frequency and number of attacks?

Yes, outdoor refuse pile

Does proximity / number of goblin fortresses in relation to your fort increase the frequency and number of attacks?

Proximity yes, confirmed. Frequency not sure, speculated. The game seem to attack only once per season with size depending on your fort's *value*

Asked a bit back. My butcher's shop isn't showing the jobs to 'butcher an animal' when I mark them for slaughter. Had a search but I can't find info on this. Has anyone had this happen?

The only thing I can think is that it might be related to asking to butcher a kitten but the kitten was dragged into a cage at the same time. And we're getting sieged. And we have 1000 meals, so maybe the meat industry has gone on strike or something.

Am I boned because nobody is deboning my meat?

[mrbaggins]

Thanks.

It seems that digging rooms in soil is largely useless. Well, except for rigging up elaborate entrances to hideously befall invaders.

Is it worth just digging straight down to rock at the start of a fortress? Maybe with some dirt hallways at the top for later defensive use?

[Mercenare]

It seems when my marksdwarfs go to train, they strip off all their clothes, and won't use bolts but will grab a crossbow. What am i doing wrong?

[ed boy]

Is there something like nanofort for the latest version of DF?
