My miners truly are stupid.

All this time, I thought I was mining out their exit, and they're just incredibly stupid.

Why are all my miners starving to death or dying of thirst when the way is perfectly open to them?

[Cotes]

We need a sticky dedicated for ramps...

[Duntada Man]

Ramps cause this sometimes, other times you might have a tree growing in a doorway.

Lost nearly 60 dwarves because a goblin cap blocked off the food stocks and I didn't see it. Figured the high traffic would prevent that.

We need a sticky dedicated for ramps...

I'm telling you, I built the ramp right.

Shortly after frantically digging in from another direction, they all walked out the ramp they couldn't use that entire time. Shortly after that, all three of them threw a tantrum then calmed down, and I thought everything was cool. That is, until one when all emo on me, and the other two went berserk and I had to put them down.

That is, until one when all emo on me...

That has never occured to me. Can melancolic dwarves try to chop their heads off?

[yggiz]

Sometimes I have to redesignate ramps carved at z-1. Just happens sometimes when the only access is above the planned ramp, never when they have at least a side access. Only a big problem if I don't pay attention to them idling.

Well, that fortress is a goner now.

For some reason, with food literally bursting from my fort, my people all starved to death.

I had a working kitchen and butchery with 500 units of food...and they all died hunting vermin.

Did you mod blood?

[dirty foot]

Did you mod blood?

I only use the Phoebus graphic mod for the game right now, I don't think that would cause problems with my dwarfs.

I did look into it though, and it seems like eggs stopped being considered food for some reason. I manually went through them all, and they weren't rotten or forbidden.

[BurnedToast]

I don't think dwarfs can eat raw eggs.

Some people say they can, but I've NEVER seen a dwarf eat one raw in any of my forts. I've always had to cook them first.

My cook was in the kitchen cooking them. I think I had about 350 prepared eggs.

(a) some odd problem with pots in the storage?

(b) pathfinding problems with your ramp & staircase or burrow setup.

[Wyvern]

Are you positive that your food stores were made up of things that are actually edible?  Food-type items that aren't edible raw still count towards your "food stores" statistic.  I once very nearly lost an entire fort to starvation because I thought I had hundreds of units of food only to realize that it was 100% seeds.

Yeah, I'm pretty familiar with the food stores UI. I went through and checked to see if I had eggs enabled for cooking, I checked the eggs for ownership/forbidden status, and watched the cook grab some from a stockpile and start cooking them. Then nothing. I never saw him leave with the prepared dish, and it wasn't hiding in the kitchen when I viewed i(t)ems in the building. I'm thinking it might have been something wrong with either how the eggs were being treated as food, or something to do with my egg stockpile being directly next to the kitchen.

[LionSilverWolf]

I had a similar problem, I moved my food stockpile underground and all the food got moved just fine and the next thing I knew my dorfs were running around hunting vermin. Lost a full 100 of them to the ensuing tantrum spiral. Destroying the stockpile and redesignating it fixed that issue, but MAN that was annoying.
