Hmm having military issues again. My marksdwarves, and i think some of my spear dwarves are all spamming equipment mismatch errors. The descriptions a bit vuage though so what could be wrong exactly?

[Niccolo]

This generally means that you don't have enough of a given weapon. So your tenth spearman goes empty-handed 'cause you only had nine spears, or something like that.

Or if you specified a specific metal, then there's no spears of that kind of metal. Same for your marksdwarves - though that may be ammunition they can't get.

[Darth_Karl]

I've defintly got plenty of everything i need so i can't see why that would be an issue...

EDIT: Unles it's possibble fr them to continue seeing insufficent after i've made sufficent avalibile perhaps? Can that happen?

[Sutremaine]

This happens a lot when new equipment becomes available, especially with marksdwarves and bolts. I find it annoying, but harmless enough. When the spam slows down, quickly run through the equipment on the low-priority squads to check they've got everything.

[UristMcHuman]

Are Moose-people hostile? 'Cause I'm trying to dig into the caverns to make a home for an adventurer. If the Moose-people are hostile, then this is a problem.

[Darth_Karl]

Well this has been going on for about 3 full months so far. Is it normal for it to take that long to die down?

I'll double check the equipment next time i log in mind, but still annoyying as every damm message like this adds to FPS slowdown, i'm allready hovering around 27 and falling.

Can one lever be linked to multiple upright spike traps?

I doubt that cancelled pickup jobs are doing much harm to your framerate; don't expect it to improve when they die down.

As long as you're making equipment that is a valid option for your military, they're going to continue upgrading and cancelling pickup jobs.  So it won't die down until after you're done forging armor/weapons.

Can one lever be linked to multiple upright spike traps?

Yes, to any number.

So I managed to capture a Hydra, and then tamed it, is it 100% safe to let it out of the cage?

Has it feasted on the flesh of dwarves?

If no, you should be good to go.

If yes, it might savage them anyway, if I recall correctly.

well, it attacked and killed a cat before walking into the trap, does that mean it will start hunting all the cats in the fortress?

[nightwhips]

Strange mood question...

My dwarf needs wood, bone, cut gems, metal bars, blocks, and cloth.

He has the first four at the workshop. [t] shows this, but suggests he needs blocks. I have tons of blocks, and I even made him a few silver blocks just in case he wanted metal ones. The blocks are in bins, and so is the cloth.

He's not moving!

Any hints? I am getting worried he's close to going insane, and he'd turn into a dang fine carpenter if he survives this.

Do I need to move the items he wants nearer to him? Anything!

[FuzzyZergling]

Have you tried wooden blocks?
Also, look at his personality and see if he likes and materials that blocks can be made of. If dwarves have material preferances, they'll sometimes want that specific material for their artifact.

[Sutremaine]

How many cut gems do you have available? He could be wanting more of those.

[Urist Imiknorris]

He wants MOAR METAL. Provide it.

No, and he'll only savage your dwarves if he's killed one of your fort's.

EDIT: Shut up Chrome, dwarves is totally a word.
