[CaptainMcClellan]

You're assuming that player forts aren't the sole producer of mugs. In fact, Armok himself is who blessed dwarves with the knowledge of mug production, strictly forbidding them to craft them inside the regular mountainhomes, because they are not properly annointed in carnage, magma, or mayhem.

What would happen if the Dwarven world were round?

[Aslandus]

We'd find a way to play pinball with it

Are there other planets in the DF universe?

[Badger Storm]

Yes, and each one has its own race of mentally unstable fortress-builders.

Why doesn't the DF world have pumpkins?

[Button]

Why doesn't the DF world have pumpkins?

It used to; but since they aren't brewable or edible raw, they all got cooked, and so dropped no seeds, and so went extinct.

Why doesn't cooking require fuel?

[FallenAngel]

Dwarven "cooking" is actually applied combat - the dwarves fight the food, killing bacteria and such. Dwarven immune systems destroy the bacteria anyway, but pre-killed bacteria adds fiber.

How does food in a stockpile never rot, even if it's been there as long as anyone can remember?

[Insert_Gnome_Here]

Food stockpiles are actually stasis fields, in which time does not flow. This decrease in time causes a corresponding increase in space, the cause of the quantum stockpile effect.

In DF, why does the wind always blow at one of 3 speeds and never change.

[FallenAngel]

Armok buys his fans from Shady Joe; once they're turned on and set to a level, they can never be changed or deactivated.

Why do people not question a massive creature made of solid slade asking them about their family?

[Badger Storm]

Would anyone who valued their life question a massive creature made of demonic stone?

Why can't you use wagons in your fort?

[Baffler]

Dwarves tend to compartmentalize things a lot more than humans, and don't intend to leave anytime soon. Incorporating the embark wagon as anything but a few logs that get turned into beds would offend their sensibilities.

Why don't any of the starting seven have any relationships with each other on embark? You'd think they talked to each other at least a little bit on the journey to the site.

[UnicodingUnicorn]

The starting seven are spawned from the ground of the site itself, consuming the energy of the site and taking away the natural phase shiftiness that allows adventurers to fast travel through.

Do dwarves know what that strange arcane looking mess of gears and mechanisms they are strangely compelled to build is?

[Badger Storm]

Obviously it's going to be a super duper fun roller coaster that has a moat of whip wine filled with cave crocodiles...right?

How does the dwarven body generate enough pus to form effing pools of it on the ground?

[Nidilap]

WE ALL ARE! EVERYONES A BIG BAG OF PUS!

Why can't pigs fight with Dwarven arms and armor?

[Badger Storm]

Because they are pigs, and they have hooves.  Hooves cannot fit into boots and gauntlets.  This question is silly.

Now that we know why we can't use wagons, why not pack animals?

[UnicodingUnicorn]

Pardon? I can't here you over the chewing of this +horse tallow roast+?

Why can't magma melt wood walls?

[Arcvasti]

Ash, made from burnt wood, is magma safe. When magma comes into contact with wood walls, it burns the outer layer into a thin layer of ash, which protects the interior of the wall from being burnt.

Why is ash magma safe?
