To make a muddy floor, you have to designate the pond 1 zlvl above the farm, it has to be a hole in the ground so the farm place has to be down there...

but for above ground farming, you just need soil. Any kind of soil will do (and i have readed somewhere that some stone layers muddied will do) but the soil does not need to be muddied, just soil, even with grass...
That green space with trees, chop some down to make space, (b)uild>farm (p)lot design space and its done

Now, to get seeds to plant, you have to make some dwarfs go out there and gather plants, that produces a basic plant, that if you pocess it, eat it, or brew it (not cook) will produce seeds for above ground farm (cook will rend no seeds)

I also have a carp workshop

I don't always derp, but when I do, I herp

EDIT: i've had a couple of goblin snatchers before, no kids got took yet, this one decides to lop a recruits arm off. and my doc, INSTEAD of treating his patient, decides to cook. so I deactivate ALL of his jobs except his medical jobs. He decides that he has NO job. A FRACKIN RECRUIT IS BLEEDING OUT AND YOU ARE JUST GONNA LEAVE HIM?!?!?!?

EDIT2: 64 dorfs, 28 of them not doing jack.... FML

Welcome to wonderful world of hospital bugs. Try closing doctor and patient in one small hospital room with closed door and needed equipment and/or burrowing them both.

Put them into military or assign siege operating to them. Free time should be spent in the barrack.

[TolyK]

siege operating will only help if you have training catapults.
it doesn't make them go to the barracks.

just assign all your dwarves to squads and they'll just go and train happily.

or build lots of useless pumps and assign them pump operating. then make them PUMP their MUSCLES!

or give them hauling.

my fort is too small to do any of that...

my injured guy stopped bleeding.. still alive thank armok

meanwhile a elvish caravan decided to show, bring with them a couple of snatchers and theives.

nothing i havn't scared off before, business as us-



oh shit.

goblin ambush, bout 7 ... my first ever ambush. going to recruit people in a panic. I'll keep yall posted.

they are all archers/bowmen AND MY MILITARY HASN'T DONE SHIT YET!!!


aw man... we fought them off... not before they killed 5 dorfs.... tantrum spiral bracing!!!
no tantrum spirals thankfully. maybe I can get stuff done now... also I now have a mayor... his first madate? Rings. already forfilled too life is getting better!

one thing... he needs a cabinet.. but it wont let me assign him one... even when I build it in his room... HOW FIX??

[TolyK]

only 5 dead? You are awesome! 
usually people lose at least half their folks to an ambush when they have no military or "siege breaker" to speak of.

good job. now I suggest you start digging trenches (remember to channel AND remove ramps)

(note: occasionally goblin ambushes come in several squads that are "found" individually. just warning you )

'q' the cab

i've done that multiple times it just shows that it belongs to my squad, even built another cabinet and and STILL wont let me assign it... do I just keep on building cabs till it lets me?

also i DID have a military before but it was only 5 members strong. I assigned more people to the squad and 4 of those died along with a civvy. I redid my military again.. and killed the elf merchants again for practice.

[TolyK]

keep up the good work.

oh, and get some archer dwarves going on! if you need help setting up a shooting range just ask

[EvilJawa]

just put the cabinet in his room and it will show up on his requirements list, and if your making archers be sure to assign them ammo in the military screen under f

Yeah, cabinets and chests have to be built in the area assigned to one of the mayor's rooms (bedroom, office, dining room), it doesn't matter which one.  The same for armor racks and so on.  If the cabinet is assigned to a squad then its probably been counted as part of the barracks, so build it in one of your mayor's other rooms, or make the mayor's room somewhere else than the barracks
It counts on the 'n' screen as soon as you mark it for building, even before a dwarf moves it, so you'll know right away if it's in the right place or not.
