You could always recycle the nonmasterwork to get some of that back

This is only true for some large pieces like mail, plate and greaves. For the most part it's more player-time efficient to just dig up new ores and trade the pieces away for bars (and ores) with the caravan.

By the time you have a 120-man strong military there's only one thing left to do with them: breach HFS. For that task you'd want all the masterworks you can get. To be honest I've never got around to get an army this large even though I did have some 10k+ iron embarks cause I tend to make new worlds every time I change the raw.

Hey, if I drop something (like a cow or rock) down a 1X1 shaft onto a dwarf, will it injure them?

Dropped objects do no damage.  Dropped creatures will stun anything they land on, but don't cause any actual harm either.

Just a quick question on what I'm doing wrong. I'm trying to smelt some bit-coal using a smelter and I have 8 units of charcoal -which I assume is fuel sitting in a stockpile right next to the smelter.
However, when I try and select the smelter to put in a task, they are all red. When I select one it says I'm missing Fuel. I've checked my labours and I havn't forbidden charcoal so I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

[Lord Shonus]

What about your burrows?

[proxn_punkd]

Has the charcoal been tasked by somebody else already?

[strider_ani]

Nope it just sits there, It's a brand new embark so I don't think anyone would be using it.

Let's run some numbers.....
weapon: 2 bars
shield: 2 bars
cap: 1 bar, 2 total
helm: 1 bar
chainmail: 2 bars, 3 total
breast plate: 3 bar
Gauntlets: 1 bar
Greaves: 2 bars
High boots: 1 bar

Those are 40d numbers.  In DF2010, everything takes 1 bar.

Pre-edit: ninjad.

Why won't my idiots put all these elven prisoners in the cage I assigned them to? They'll build the cages, they'll deconstruct the cages, they'll put the cages back in the animal stockpile, but they won't put the contents in another cage. It's annoying, because if they don't do it, I'll need to hook up some 40 cages to my arena-sealing, deathmatch-initiating lever.

I did that once several times...

The question is: what's actually the intended numbers. The 2010 bar usage are off and it would be fixed back to the 40d values sooner or later. However, my point was that "it takes alot of resource to fully deck out a proper military." which stand even with the 2010 bar usage bug.

I'm pretty sure the answer is "probably not", but anyway:

Married couples will share a bedroom (except for some nobles).

Does this mean I should assign 2 (or more, for childern) beds to my bedrooms on the offchance, that dwarfs will mary (and have children)? Would this mean more cabinets too? (Ofc, I would only designate one room out of one bed, the second bed would just be there) Should I do some kind of micromanagment on married couples if I have only one bed per room?

I pretty much just want to make 100+ 3x3 bedrooms with one bed, chest/sack, cabinet and door, and let dwarfs claim them as they want, but perhabs marriges reqiure something more.

[Mister Always]

The chance that your married dwarves will want to sleep at the same time is pretty low. It's safe to take one of the newlyweds' room and assign it to somebody else. I do it all the time.

Nope, dwarves will happily sleep atop each other. And once kids leave mama's arms, they go claim their own room. Also, as stated, they usually sleep at different times, anyway.
