How does one mine in adventure mode?

High strength and hammer skill.

Pickaxes use the mining skill for combat. Mine that meat bronze collosus!

Where does an adventurer get the wood to build a campfire?

[AzTech2064]

Where does an adventurer get the wood to build a campfire?

obviously from some goblins/thingys/humans/zombies he decapitated and mutilated (tha is no wood! fat burns brighter!) btw the same reason wor thost ghastly creatures attacking you every night (everyone is drawn to a campfire the smells like chicken roast^^)

why havent dwarfs learned how to craft rock bins?

[UnicodingUnicorn]

Rock bins would win over metal and wood bins due to sheer quantity. That simply would not do because there must be some way to anger the elves.

How about cloth mattresses?

[hops]

Soft bedding is for heretics, that's why.

Why can't dwarves make stone beds?

[hops]

oops

Why can't dwarves make stone beds?

It's a legacy of the old crafting guilds. In the old days, the carpenters' guild negotiated exclusive rights to bed-making, and was so successful that wooden beds became traditional. There is some debate among historians about whether the knowledge of how to make stone/metal beds was actually lost, or if masons and blacksmiths are still terrified of the carpenters' guild's legendary enforcers.

This is why beds can be made out of stone or metal in strange moods - technically it's possible, but only a Moody dwarf can make furniture without plans or fear of repercussions.

What happened to the old guilds, anyway?

So, in short, Evil Copyrights happened.

Oh, those are still back there at the Mountainhomes. You know, where things do not suddenly kick and try kill you. And even if your outpost does happen to inherit the title, things still try, so this concept is alien to your dorfs.

Peach pits are completely unusable (outside of really unconventional means) and are being produced at insane numbers, hitting at your FPS. Why are peach pits so evil?

[TheFlame52]

Because dwarves don't know how to throw away trash.

Why do civilian dwarves try to charge massive cavern critters they can't possibly defeat?

[Badger Storm]

But those rutherers just look so fuzzy!

Why don't date or coconut palms ever seem to drop fruit?

[Rose]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Look at these. Do they look like something a dwarf would recognize as a fruit?

Why can I never bring a fortress past a few years?

[CaptainMcClellan]

Cursed with Awesome/Blessed with Suck?

Why are yetis and Troglodytes so angry with dwarves that they attack no matter what with no strategy at all, whereas equally stupid ( and in the case of yetis: sized ) trolls are able to attack with cohesive "strategy" and only attack when necessary/during a goblin raid?

Yetis and trogs are wild. The trolls you're talking about are part of the goblin civilization, and have been domesticated and trained.

Wild trolls attack much like trogs do.

Why don't invaders ride on mounts anymore? I haven't had a mounted invader since 34.11.

[Aslandus]

They decided it wasn't fair to ride monsters into battle when the dwarves had to charge in on foot. The idea of traps and built defenses were lost on them.

Why won't dwarves make booze out of meat?

[CaptainMcClellan]

You can't ferment meat, it just rots. And rotten meat is highly hazardous to your health and tastebuds.

Why don't the undead ever turn on the necromancer that raised them?

[Badger Storm]

They know that if he's gone, there won't be any more pizza on Friday night

How does dwarf mine for fish?
