Found out a dwarf throwing a tantrum can dismantle a bridge...

Thought I was being smart, making glass menacing spikes under a bridge (so if I was attacked), masterwork ones nonetheless, and was in the process of linking all of them to a pressure plate on a commonly traversed hallway. I guess DFHack autolabor decided to choose the one kobold with children to go set these up, mind you they didn't get set off until the last one was about to be attached.

Huh. Thought the mother would be very mad, instead, she is ecstatic ???. Must love that personal bedroom or something :-X

It was lowered at the time, but I didn't think a dwarf throwing a tantrum would have the patience to destroy my bridge...

So I had managed to get my first ever proper fort started up, with food and drink being produced, cloth being made and dyed, and metals being processed. I had managed t set up a half decent defence system (more than I have ever managed before, hah) and a quick use of prospect revealed 30k units of coal and ~60k units of iron producing ore, as well as 100k units of marble. Nice.

That is, until my computer decides that right now would be a perfect time to restart to install updates and, of course, I hadn't saved. Poof goes the fort :C

Ouch. Fucking ouch.

You do know there's a setting for autosaves, right?

This was in adventurer mode, but . . . the second time you give into starvation because you jumped off a cliff and landed in a tree. Why is there no way to jump down from trees?

I have no clue what I am doing here.


I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

Should be fixed with the next release.

She was on her way to the booze stockpile for a drink and got interrupted by the wyvern. It is not wise to stand between a grumpy senior and her booze.

Should be able to fast travel to get out of trees, unless there's enemies about.

Had not one, but two cavern collapses while carving out my entrance. In the first one, my Ingotlady broke both her arms. Stoneking got up without a scratch. In the second, Stoneking still suffered no harm. Ingotlady was still in the small hole I dug out as an emergency room. On the bright side, I got a talented swordsdwarf with one-hundred and thirty-three kills under his belt in my first migrant wave, along with four mostly-useless professions, three of which were competent in a weapon ability.

I've made a world where dwarves are extinct, humans are scattered, and elves just fine... May have added too many Beast, and Titans to that world...

But if the dwarves existed at one point, then it's still possible to embark... ACCEPT CHALLENGE?
