i made a few statues, i have high master metal crafter
Statue-making is blacksmithing. One bar of anything yields three flasks, so if you have a metal crafter then flasks are the way to go.

Moody dwarves standing around need a workshop. [b ], [w ] will tell you how many of each workshop you have built, which is handy for figuring out which one is missing. [b ], [e ] is for furnaces, and I think the only mood furnaces are the glass ones. Careful that your moody dwarf isn't the only one with the skill required for building the appropriate workshop.

Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

Is he assigned to a burrow?  A dwarf who is in a burrow who is trying to store something in a stockpile outside the burrow will sometimes refuse to give up, instead just standing there spamming job canceled over and over.

What is the specific message he's getting?  Is he trying to store an owned item, or store an item in a stockpile?

If you can catch the 'store item in stockpile' job on the job list, then pressing 'v' over the job will tell you what the dwarf is trying to haul and where (going into the units list and pressing b over the job in question will zoom to the stockpile). I don't think there's a way of zooming to the job item.

Will the soldiers that normally respawn in Adventure Mode also respawn in Dwarf Mode?

Are any burrows active?

Have you recently unforbidden some mystery items? If so, they'll be in caverns somewhere and you haven't found them yet.

Items in water or lava that your dwarves cannot get through even though there is technically a path will sometimes yield this message.  There are other inaccessable issues to do with construction and whatnot that you could look at - you might want to just start collecting all the items of X type in a stockpile or garbage dump, then see what's left when the dwarves are done.

How did I miss the existence of this thread?
(Don't attempt to answer that.  Down that path lies ... well I was going to say madness but you all run towards madness as if it was made from chocolate and puppies.  Just forget I said anything.)

Yes. As caravan guards or siegers.

Verifying, if I were to embark on top of a castle and kill the soldiers there, they would return as hostiles or friendlies?
