Thanks that worked. Also turns out there is no caves on my map until nearly the bottom Z only a few levels above the magma seas. Which I don't know if this is good or bad.

Forbidding/dumping/unforbidding, changing stockpile settings, etc doesn't seem to work. Deconstructing / undesignating and rebuilding/reallocating seems to fix it, however. Are you telling stockpiles to give to a specific workshop? Doing this makes the workshop unable to use any material the stockpile holds except what's in the stockpile. If you have, say, a small bag stockpile that is giving its bags to the farmer's workshop, it will only use bags that are in that small stockpile. If you tell the large stockpiles to give to the small stockpile, dwarves will move bags from the large stockpile to the smaller one, which will, in turn, allow the workshop to continue work.

Never seen this before It came in on an elven caravan, breaking out of one of their clearly inferior  grown wood cagesI sure hope it only happens with vermin, cause I tend to be pretty negligent with letting lots of caged goblins and trolls pile up

super fart shooter posted:Never seen this before One of the bugfix releases after the most recent version included a fix for a (very) longstanding bug where vermin could only break out of artifact traps. Most people probably never trap their own vermin, let alone use artifact traps for it, so most people have probably never seen the message before. As far as I know, this only applies to vermin in traps and not prisoners in cages.

I realized that trying to make a 150 z layer deep minecart track was never going to work. A bunch of the layers of track had digging errors in them leading to non functional ramps. I should have used a macro to dig all that poo poo.

Man this game. No other game can make me forget to eat while I'm trying to figure something out. And the feeling you get when you finally solve some little problem in what you're trying to do reminds me a lot of programming. Anyway, I feel like I finally got the hang of minecarts now, and naturally instead of using it to perhaps ease the load of hauling tons of ore down 150 z-levels, or finished goods back up from the forges, bee-lined for a 5(+) round semi automatic shotgun defense of the main hallway. Click here for the full 1280x744 image Seen here in the aftermath of spraying captured goblins and elves at some invading trolls, followed by about 80 lead bars and then 10 statues. Still more micromanagement than I'd like to stop a pileup that prevents fast firing, but good enough. My dwarves are on the verge of mutiny from carrying minecarts and bins hundreds of z-levels with no assistance from the forges but really, can you put a price on securing dwarven freedoms through over-wrought Rube Goldberg type schemes? No, you can't.

Is there any way to make my dwarves practice climbing? I never see it happen in fort mode. I had a miner dwarf stay at the bottom of the pit s/he had mined out, from soil, which should have been climbable but they didn't even try.

I dunno, I've had miners climb out of open quarries just fine. With soil walls, too. Do physical characteristics affect climbing? Could they possibly have just been too frail to hold own their bodyweight?

Are you using burrow's at all? I had a similar issue recently with my brewer saying he did not have any brewable items available despite a full plump helmet stockpile nearby. Turns out an inactive burrow was covering the brewery but did not extend across plant stockpile. Deleting the burrow fixed it straight away.

Sometimes just recruits with no weapons or armor at all, sometimes skilled fighters with iron arms and armor. Before turning off secrets I had a necromancer with a fully armored zombie fighter show up the first year. The living world seems to have supplanted the difficulty curve entirely. Titans still won't arrive until you have 80 dwarfs and big wealth, but everything else just shows up whenever. You can just wait them out though. So far I haven't gotten any trolls in the first couple years, and without building destroyers all you need is a locked door or hatch to keep out the goblin invaders. Lock your front entrance with a bridge and even trolls can't get in. They hang around for a season, kill any animals you've left outside and maybe some wildlife, and then leave on their own. At worst you miss a single caravan. If you are low on food you can break into the first cavern layer. Plant gathering and fishing don't take much skill to produce lots of food. Seeds from cavern plants can be used to expand your farms. Just hope that you don't get an early forgotten beast.

I don't think the non-lethal stuff is really working as intended. I met a strange guy living alone in a house in the woods, he was a spearman. I pinched him to wake him up and he didn't wake up, so I went to sleep next to him. When he woke up he was SUPER PISSED OFF at me. I tried calming him down with a friendly headlock, but to no avail. After he regained consciousness I asked if he would like to yield. "NEVER!" So I started kicking him in the rear end. Eventually he got freaked out and tried to run away. I chased after him shouting for him to cease this violence (the friendliest option?) He refused. Finally I kicked his legs out from under him and begin to slowly stave in his kidneys with my boot. He refused to yield until my companion returned from murdering a stray buzzard and stuck a spear in his skull, shouting "Ast StormTrumpets has slain Udil SwampWasps! This is great!".

Bite and shake until the dude passes out from the pain and bleeding, then trample the skull in. Efficient and effective. Anything 1.) bigger than you that 2.) can bite is a menace to anything not wearing plate mail.

I learned the wonders of the clothing industry when half my fort was naked. Some dwarf who was really mad about being naked just started beating the poo poo out of everybody. I hadn't setup a prison either at that point had no idea how to deal with him. I had realized my mistake a while earlier and had 2 clothiers making clothing full time and had mostly caught up with the back log but it was too late for this one guy. By the time he went berserk all he was missing was shoes but had so many bad thoughts from earlier on his mood was really bad.
