Why have my dwarves stopped gathering sand?

They ran out of bags and canceled the job; or, they can't path to the sand gathering area; or, they can't path to the glassmaker's workshop where the "gather sand" job is/was queued; or, plants grew on the designated sand gathering area and so they think it's not sand anymore.

Why won't my dwarves cook a whole bag of seeds together, instead picking up one. seed. at a time.

I've got a weaver in a Macabre mood. He is standing next to a clothier's shop, not claiming it. I've removed his burrow restrictions. Pretty much every other workshop also exists, so I really don't know why he won't claim something.

If all else fails, use DFhack's showmood to see what he wants.

Also, this isn't what this thread is for.

Thanks ; I don't have DFhack installed but I might consider it...

They came from different plants, so mixing them together would create an inconsistency in the food texture. Beards are picky when it comes to that.

They're swapped to disk to keep framerates acceptable. When the player isn't around they don't need to be actually simulated in any detail and can safely exist.
What's a 'disk'? Is it like an enchanted slab of some kind?

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

Nobody asked a question, so: How do dwarves eat one chopped up seed as a meal and not starve to death?

Because it's a meal

Why do dwarves dig large areas in away that results in multiple injuries/deaths?

I should probably introduce the actual plot soon

@Dwarven diet being unbalanced:  What are ye talkin' about?  Rum's the way to go with any diet, followed by plump helmet...

Why in the world did the goblins think 7 human recruits, two human crossbowmen, and one goblin lasher with a lack of armor was a good idea?
