Does anyone know if theres a bug in 31.12 that stops stone blocks from going into bins? I can't seem to get the bastards to stack my olivine blocks properly, i know wooden blocks don't even go into the stockpiles but i didn't kinow there was a problem with specific types of stone...

I don't know about 31.12 specifically, since I play 31.18, but you probably need to enable metals in your block stockpile. The stone option in the materials has been basically broken to me, and all minerals - including gems - are listed under metals.

Will ordering my dwarves and their many war animals to attack an elven caravan cause a loyalty cascade?

Can dwarves fire arrows from different Z Levels (like from a tower)? Example would be a dwarf up on a wall few z levels up firing downward. Can they do this?

I only have olivine enabled and they are putting single olivine blocks into my stockpile, but forgetting to add any bins, i have heaps of spare bins lieing about, and i checkedc the stockpile options and it says max bins 6 =/

Edit:  after making a new stockpile and enabling every type of block it's putting in bins now....

Yes, although each z level counts as one unit of travel, so the arrows will travel less far horizontally under the circumstances you describe.

Thank you much. I figured that you would be able to, yet a friend and I weren't sure.

don't forget to add fortifications to protect your archers (partially) from enemy fire.

embark menu told me there is a creek + a vulcano in the area i embarked in

on settling, i realise there is no creek, but there is a vulcano

happened to me 2 times in a row (i want to try out stuff with a volcano and easy water access)

is this a bug of some sorts or where is the creek?

*shrug*

Most likely had wood (the material the bins are made out of) disabled. They wanted to bring bins in, but you didn't have any made out of olivine....

embark menu told me there is a creek + a volcano in the area i embarked in <snip>

Ok... Silly question time: Did you select part of the brook in your embark square, or did it just say there was on the side of the screen?

The side of the screen only tells you what's in the whole 16x16 area, not specifically what's in your little 4x4 square.
