It may have been answered before but I was having a problem where the dwarves keep trying to pick up ammo but couldn't pick it up. They just kept going back and forth trying to put it in a stockpile. I run masterwork so I don't know.

Elves expect the dwarves to use "grown wood" as a pet or something, sorta like a pet rock. Armok forbid if you turn it into something useful.

In the first year of my fort I got seiged by elves. This was the first time the dwarves seen elves. They chased off and killed some livestock then left. I looked in the civilization menu and its just us dwarves. Are there roving bands of things just looking to gently caress things up now?

I feel like boogeymen should only exist in evil biomes. That makes the most sense to me.

Also I settled near goblins and never saw them do anything against me. I got bored cuz it seemed nothing was trying to kill me.

There should be a tumbling skill so you can survive some falls.

I can just imagine that being legendary in tumbling, a dwarf jumps off a tower and slams into the ground like the hulk, completely unharmed.

Yeah I've was dealing with outside planting the other day. I made a farm outside where there were no plants growing naturally and it didn't give me seeds to plant. So then I moved it to where trees and gatherable plants grew and it gave me the seeds to plant. If there's grass but no trees then you cant plant there.

So after some more wereRhinos attacked we abandoned the fort. But the fort was to precious to leave alone, what with the materials to make steel. We came back and after another Rhino attack and then a goblin ambush we were down to 3 guys. The top priority was to put a lever and drawbridge and just hole up until help arrived.I think it took 3 years for migrants to become stupid enough to attempt the journey. Migrants came and the one dwarf who was training nonstop finally had recruits. We fended off a seige and now the fortress is flourishing. Let Trotttrumpet be a testament to dwarf persistence everywhere.

If my Neighbors screen doesn't show any goblin civs, does that mean they simply don't exist or that I just haven't been contacted (invaded) by them yet? Its been a few years and no sign of them so far. It seems like in older versions I was constantly fending off snatchers and ambushes.
Is it on the embark screen or in game?

It might take awhile, it relies on the worth of your fortress. So if some guy makes a legendary artifact you might soon be invaded. Unless you are secluded on an island or far out there.
That said its still kinda janky, I once got invaded a couple of times and then I never got invaded again. Which is sad because after those attacks I trained some legendary dwarf fighters.

Killing bad beasties should give you either a good feeling (other than enjoyed slaughter) or raise the moral of nearby soldiers.

.personally the Phoebus tileset is my favorite.

But seriously, try a tileset. its like upgrading from Nintendo to super Nintendo. They are cool and good.

I can play without tilesets just fine but it just makes the game so pretty that i need it now.

Couldn't you just make a sculpture garden in the sunlit part? Dwarfs should hang out and throw lots of parties there, and since it's in the light, they'll lose their cave adaptation as they do. Bonus points for the happiness bonus from the garden itself.

The Scare Ball is a horrible thing why would you put a dwarven sculpture garden underneath such a thing.

Put some doors in front of the the draw bridge, you can lock those instantly and they will buy you some time to close a drawbridge.

Hospitals are Zones. Press i (i think) and designate a room a hospital. Then put beds and a chest or coffer in.dwarves will rest and surgery in the bed and The chest will hold any medical supplies that are needed.

No one understands military. you are right to call it obtuse.
