bug.
do you at least have murky pools?

ya some
if you get rain (probably, unless turned off in the d_init.txt file) try channeling up to one and make a "cistern" so that you can store water. to make it "clean" you need to pump it.

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....
*facepalm*
I don't think it works that way. The bins were probably set to a job that got canceled or something and didn't get re-assigned until you made another one. Disabling materials shouldn't make it different.

What happens if you rename region2 to region3 in saves (assuming you only have 2 regions)?

If you have two layers of water to work with (which you do need for clean water even if you pump uncontaminated river water into a constructed cistern), does it ever matter what's on the bottom layer of water?

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
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.

Apparently, thieves are running themselves to death in my trap corridor. I'm not getting combat reports announcing it, though. Isn't that supposed to happen?

Also, one of the thieves had his guts sliced off by a disc trap. Which is awesome.

Another question: Is it possible to make a stockpile that only accepts roasts/biscuits and one that only allows unprepared food?

It doesn't get muddy if you do that?

Sure.  Create a food stockpile.  Go into the stockpile options.  Disable everything, then press 'u' to permit the stockpiling of prepared food.  For the second stockpile, leave everything enabled, but press 'u' to disable the stockpiling of prepared food.

Not if it's constructed I think.

No combat logs, no. Please note that kobolds aren't affected by traps.
