If a a mini-fort out of a cube of obsidian over a volcano is caved-in, will it stay intact on the bottom?

Well, in a volcano, no. Dropping it a few levels onto the ground works, sometimes. (this person tried this idea)

Why am I getting notifications when Troglodytes give birth?

It is kind of hard to believe that this all happened in a game.

The dwarves can hear the chirping and screeching from the fortress...

Why do my dwarves keep bringing animals they killed to the butcher shop deep underground rather then the one right on the surface where they killed the beasties?

It's cooler underground, so the meat keeps longer.  It's like a more violent root cellar.

Why don't gryphons or centaurs exist when we have monstrosities like green devourers and creepy crawlers?

Even in the most fantastic world, people will always make up stories about fantastic creatures. Something had to be only a legend.

Why don't dwarves get negative thoughts from walking through vomit?

Dwarf vomit has a sand like texture and lacks any stench associated with digestion, so the dwarves just think they're walking through green sand.

Why do dogs like to perform violence on animal men?

Dogs are instinctively terrified of anything that resembles a fursuit.  When multiple animal men congregate, the dogs mistake it for a furry convention and panic.

Why don't dogs actually bite anything?

They're too busy using their teeth to wrestle.

Someone would find a way to breed them in a concentration camp-style farm. Remember the mermaids?

Why are Jabberers called Jabberers when they don't speak (or at least, it doesn't say it in the description) and they have no [CAN_SPEAK] tag?

They're all avid fans of the old cartoon Jabberjaw.  It's a term like "bronies" or "Whovians".

Why can't you brew mog juice?

The same reason you can't brew blood - it coagulates.

You can. All you need to do is profane a temple first.

Why are there three cavern layers, why not more?

You can change the amount of caves in advanced world-gen. Not sure what are the min/max values, however.

Why we can't get leather from bunnies?

PETA forbade it, but they were devoured by elves before they could ban the skinning of other cute fuzzy animals.

How do gods decide what kind of werebeast somebody becomes when they profane their altars?

Most vampire victims are too dead to spread their curse.

Why do all my modding attempts mess with the generation of shelled vermin?
