So I'm trying to run a minimalist dawn of the era style fort.
*Dead Dwarf Civ
*Embark with Nothing (Anvil from strange mood)
*Minimum number of immigrants (Can't seem to get 0)
*Kill Animals for Bone / Food

Buuuuut, neither my refuse stockpiles not my custom bone stockpiles are accepting my butchered animal parts. How would I fix this?
Generally i could ignore this but Bones are really big in this fort, and I won't want any more Ratsplosions.

Bones are refuse, make sure you've got refuse hauling outside enabled in the orders screen.

How would you get the metal to make an anvil in the first place with no picks?

He wouldn't. Instead, he'd wait until he was getting a strange mood, then hope/savescum until the mood produced an anvil.

...Which might be difficult, since forges specifically require fire-safe anvils, and if you don't have any stone to make a mooded fire-safe anvil out of, that won't work for making a forge. If you had a kiln you could make one out of clay, I guess, except without a fire-safe stone to build a kiln out of you can't get a clay. You could build it out of ash if you had a wood furnace, but you wouldn't have anything fire-safe to build the wood furnace out of... Um. Y'know, I think this just isn't doable. Maybe if there's a volcano on the map to draw a magma man or something up to get a stone, but that seems doubtful.

Is it even possible to get a mood if you haven't done any digging? Number of exposed tiles was supposed to affect the rate of moods.

He's bringing the Anvil at embark, and was clear about that.
The following roleplaying explanation is ... *drumroll* ... just for roleplay.
