[Badger Storm]

Because they need that meat for masterwork prickle berry seed roasts.

What would happen if you sent a bunch of tame deer after a salt FB?

[florxnog]

Something something minerals meme

why can't I think of anything to ask?

[Arx]

Your overseer's temporarily tabbed out. Go chill in the dining hall.

Why do my dwarves refuse to carry stuff from the wagon to the stockpile with everything enabled?

[Badger Storm]

Because they got confused and think they're in Oregon Trail, so the supplies need to stay in the wagon.

Why can't you just ford rivers instead of having to build a bridge?

[Naryar]

Because they got confused and think they're in Oregon Trail, so the supplies need to stay in the wagon.

Why can't you just ford rivers instead of having to build a bridge?

Because DF ain't Oregon Trail, even if the dwarves think so.

Why cannot you get worthy goblin sieges in the latest version ?

[UnicodingUnicorn]

The goblins finally realised it was futile, no matter how hard they try.

Why is dark yellow brown according to the DF colour system?

[origamiscienceguy]

Dwarves do not know what true yellow is. Every time they try, they just say "AAAHH, THE SUUUN" and puke their guts out.

Why don't glowing pits shed any light?

[Badger Storm]

You're just visiting at the wrong time of year.  You should see them when they blow their coats in spring.  There's light in your clothes, your food, your keyboard...

Why are there no giant wolves when there's giant versions of nearly everything else?

[UnicodingUnicorn]

They are the colour of magma, and therefore need not to shed any light to let all know their power.
Ninja'd

The sheer awesomeness a giant wolf will exude will crash the game.

Why can't we set dwarves to ride minecarts like a rail system?

[Graknorke]

They have not yet developed ways to get enough dwarves into one cart to make it worthwhile. It turns out that "pile more in" only gets you so far.

How come there are so few literate people, despite resources for books being easy enough to make and there being a lot to write about, and incentive to read so you can tell what shop you're going into?

[UnicodingUnicorn]

Same reason as why people don't buy stuff.

How can you trade mud for a +iron long sword+ in adventure mode?

[Magistrum]

Well, he ain't selling that sword to anyone else anyway...

What does "IIRC" even means?

[UnicodingUnicorn]

Depends on who you ask. It could be "If I remember correctly", "Ibuprofen Internet Relay Chat" or "Imbeciles Implementing Red Cars".

Why can't we communicate more with the Mountainhomes about migrants?

[DrTaco]

Because questions about the mountainhomes have strangely been omitted from the Dwarven language.

Why are royalty typically the first to go?

[Pencil_Art]

Who needs royalty?

Why, in my fort, do my dwarfs instead of swimming decide to just walk ON the water?
