Be nice if there were more warnings on the embark screen. WARNING: There's fuckoff huge dragon living 20 tiles from where the caravan is going to stop and he's going to set the entire map on fire and destroy everything.

Can anyone shed some light on the justice system? There was a murder, a dwarf was found dead and mysteriously drained of all their blood. Very puzzling. So I assigned a captain of the guard, no one had appropriate skills so I just picked a random axedwarf. Now I'm not sure how I can assign the case to them. It says no cases assigned next to them, and all I can do is choose to interrogate a bunch of people. I've worked my way through about 30 of my 98 dwarfs but there's never any pertinent information. Also none of the witnesses show up in the interrogation list. Is this what I'm supposed to do? Interrogate everyone and hope for some results?

Is there any sort of mass diamante tool? I want to deconstruct an entire block of bedrooms. There are 160 pieces of furniture for me to click on and dismantle, one at a time unless there's a better way.

Another wereskink appeared, so I sent my militia after it, having been stationed near the depot in case perfidious elvion took issue with my wood cutting. Turns out one hammerdwarf was roaming around going after thieving monkeys, fine with me. Except he was way out ahead of the rest of the squad so charged in alone. He got several good hits in, dodging all return attacks, though serving to do nothing but breaking insignificant bones and causing bruises. Until the skink got a lucky bite and brought him down*, fortunately (for me) killing the hammerdwarf (so no quarantine was in order) The werecreature then took off after citizens totally ignoring my burrow order, who ran away in good order, my plate armored dwarfs lagging behind. Eventually the skink went up a tree and disappeared. My squad returned to milling around the trade depot. Weird, I thought. Turns out, after a later body discovery, the wereskink has transformed back into a dwarven child and fallen from the tree into a pond, and drowned. Guess it's hard to swim with broken ankles. The fallen hammerdwarf was interred in the tombs, accompanied by an order for all soldiers to stop wielding fuckin hammers. Axes, swords, and spears from here on. *A bite through his unarmored foot. This particular hammerdwarf has been a guest who had petitioned for citizenship and had never properly equipped himself for some reason.

Appoda posted:I appreciate it! My problem is that I'm quite near the ocean -- my worry is that all that water is seawater, which would mean an endless amount of water. I'll give it a try anyways though, might as well give myself a little project before I retire the fort. Speaking of aquifers, I think I figured out the mysterious leak I had going in my entrance ramp. As I have mentioned previously, I have a light aquifer. I created a ramp path down through it to allow merchant wagons access. Each floor of the ramp passage is 3 tiles wide by 4 long. The 4 are split into: 1: Ramp up to higher Z level. 2&3: Floor. 4: Channel down to lower Z level. What I have determined is that the aquifer was leaking out through the bottom of its tiles into the lower z level, in addition to the usual sideways. I had to carve out all the aquifer tiles above the open areas in the layer below and do a standard wall off there to stop it.

Oh, I mentioned earlier that I found 4 dwarves really unhappy and it turned out to be 4 horrified kids playing make believe in the corpse stockpile. It's much darker, it was those 4 dwarven children's mom's corpse. I didn't think to check this at the time. Which might be why the 4 of them have never risen above the bottom 3 happiness levels since then.

I once had a beautiful fort, with a high plateau right next to a volcano and with several interesting rock formations that I was already planning to use as watchtowers. When I unpaused, that's when the dragon (who at the time was just a big green D) showed up and, well You know the rest.

VictualSquid posted:Got a situation where my "make bins if there are less then 10 empty bins" order fails to activate. I have no available bins, which is noticeable because half of my freshly expanded bar stockpile has bars lying on the floor. You can reduce the number of bins allowed in the cloth/leather stockpile by clicking the barrel icon in the stockpile view, so the extras should get moved (I have not tested this). wilderthanmild posted:Oh, I mentioned earlier that I found 4 dwarves really unhappy and it turned out to be 4 horrified kids playing make believe in the corpse stockpile.

This is probably a weird question but are mugs/cups picked up by dwarves and kept for drinking or do I need to figure out a way to keep them in my tavern for use (also how do I do this)

Let me know if you do. ALSO: Deeplance is now a barony!!! And you get to promote one of your dwarves to baron instead of a random noble showing up to rule you after all your hard work! I didn't know that? When did that change?

If your pop is big, check the tavern details through the room menu for the number of mugs requested

Pickled Tink posted:My current fort is a coastal fort with approximately half the map as ocean. The Light Aquifer I have there is, apparently, fresh water. This makes little sense to me, but oh well. It should not matter what is happening out in the sea because it doesn't have a direct connection to your aquifer. Just give it a shot.

Hmm, so my first foray into dwarfhood in probably 10 years ended predictably. I thought I was trucking along well enough and was heading into the first winter with about 20 dwarfs, when a pack of 10 zombies (ruined slayers) showed up and absolutely minced everyone. Now, granted, I hadn't gotten around to setting up any kind of defenses or proper squads, but I was still kinda surprised that I did 0 damage even in 4-5 on ones. Is that the kind of threat I should be preparing for within a year or did I just get a bit unlucky?

sloppy portmanteau posted:Can anyone shed some light on the justice system? You got a vampire problem. And its... sort of working. Thing is, vampires go after sleeping dwarves and well, they're the only two in the room so you're generally not going to have any witnesses. So unless your interrogator gets lucky and gets a confession from the vampire themselves, you won't have anything. There's a few ways to figure out who the vampire is, but that might be spoilery. I'll let you figure it out if you want, or just ask if you need help. (Also ramble ramble want my gangtag.  )

wilderthanmild posted:Apparently there is a bug that breaks marksdwarves. If you don't use the default archer uniform, or accidentally delete it, they will never pick up any ammo. It has some special uniform component that you can't specify for carrying the ammo. Maybe the trick there will be to exploit a separate bug, specifically that civilian hunters have a default uniform that overrides the military one. Then at least my marksdwarves will have xbows and bolts. That component is assigned when you assign them a crossbow. I've had custom uniforms that work just fine when I assign them a crossbow specifically, but only if the quiver lights up green when I assign the uniform (they don't seem to ever update their assignments unless you re-assign). It seems the quiver assignment is triggered by the crossbow assignment and the bolt assignment is triggered by the quiver assignment. sloppy portmanteau posted:Can anyone shed some light on the justice system? You can catch the culprit in the act yourself if you're observant, but other than that it's a guessing game. "No witnesses" means no one came forward to accuse that dwarf.

I just got this game after playing and loving so many games that iterated on this, and there are some qol things that I've become used to that I can't find. If I want to craft 10 beds. I can't just tell the carpenter to craft 10 beds. Do I have to tell him to craft 1 bed ten times? Is that how it works?
