I just realized I don't have sand on my embark. I need the sand to make the glass corkscrews that gets put in the screw pumps that pumps the magma so I can finally forge stuff without using up all my wood. Now I have to make the corkscrews out of either nethercap wood(which is guarded by serpent men) or out of metal which will use up twice as much charcoal as the glass would've. I could potentially solve that by making the forge way way down at the bottom where the magma is but that is incredibly inefficient considering my dwarves live up top. Can't be worse than using up all my possible wood just to make some goddamned corkscrews.

It's probably more than 30 blocks between your bedrooms and main dining room.

Never not 0/100 tunnel density/cave openness. Humans build villages in the surface. Dwarves build them in the caves!

I hosed up. I wanted a well in my hospital so I dug a shaft next to a stream and then dug a tunnel that goes from the bottom of the shaft to the tile that is directly beneath the well. The thing is that the well is built on a slope and now the hospital is flooded and the tiles around the well are 7/7 so my dwarves don't want to go near the well. Any suggestions?

Construct a small tower over top of the flooded area and put the well in the tower.

It's not the slope. Water pressure exists in the game, and if you just use water from the river without any obstacles like floodgates and stuff, it's going to try to flow up to the level of the river. There's a specific exploit you can use to avoid this from happening again: Going through a diagonal passage depressurizes water, and it won't flow above the level it was depressurized on. As for your flooded hospital, it is now a lake. Build a well on top of it.  e: The above suggestion is a joke, by the way, for obvious reasons. my dad fucked around with this message at 16:45 on Jan 20, 2016 |

If you really really want to reclaim your flooded hospital, you can build a number of wind-powered pumps upstream and temporarily drain the river to the point that you can plug the channel and try again. Just make sure those pumps have somewhere to drain to so they don't flood something else.

I bet if you move a squad near them they'll flee rather than fight. Even if they do fight a squad of 10 marksdwarves with leather armor should be able to take them out easily.... Also why are you concerned about a death? Send some dwarves from your newest wave to die wrestling them. Repeat again as necessary with new waves of expendable recruits. It's first come first promoted up in this bitch. Find the dwarves that have the highest skills in the specific areas you need. Press gang anyone else into squads. Send them in to fight something. Any survivors get equipped with weapons and armor and the privilege to train.

They are listed in the unit screen as Hostile though you are right that they are likely to flee. I'm just not at the point where dwarves are disposable yet though I'm rapidly getting there thanks to Migrant Waves sending me Soapers. I could try to dig out to them and plink them to death through fortifications. I kind of forgot that was even an option. Speaking of death, I've only had one so far. A dwarf just up and dying in the dining room in front of everybody. No injuries, no vampires. Just dead. It's really a shame that the system doesn't really allow you to investigate these things thoroughly after death.

Met posted:Aquifers should just be removed. We have underground tunnels now which provide water and the same tunnels make a Z-level roadblock that's much more fun to work around. Are you referring to the tunnels that form during worldgen between dwarven settlements? I've never built over one of those but I should. Can you enable seeing them during site selection in vanilla DF or do you need a mod?

It is possible, though very unlikely, to generate caverns that don't have any water. They also won't have mud and associated underground plants aside from blood thorns. I always put the minimum cavern water parameter up to about 10% for that reason. No water sucks, a lot. Too much water is bad in the other way.

Something really bizzare just happened. I saved my game just as a Goblin Invasion arrived. I just loaded it up to fight them off, only to realize my population had dropped from 100 to 6. I unpaused for a few seconds, then paused again. A solitary dwarven child remained. Unpause for a few more seconds and my fortress falls. 100 Dwarves just up and vanished into the either after unpausing a save game. I'm a version behind, but that was really weird. Time to update and start a new world I think.

If you still have the save before it crumbled, send it to the bug tracker. That's weird as hell.

A lesbian couple in anguish after both of them suffer almost simultaneous miscarriages, one mopes around until starvation looms. She hunts down a rat and eats it. Then she is cheered up by a wave of relief after being forced to eat vermin to survive.
