note-to-self: always use a magma-proof floodgate when making a moat LOL!

Try not to double post, mate. It spams the thread and irritates the other members.

When building an emergency fortress flooding device, build the floodgates that keep the water contained until the right time, the all clear drainage system, and the bridges used to seal your emergency shelter before completing the pumping system that floods the fortress.

Arg... I've been trying to place a trap for a while now... but for some reason there is this single sock sitting there... can't build the trap with that sock the way... nope.  I try dumping the sock, but it sits there mocking me. I hate you sock.

Is the sock outside? I always have problems dumping things that are outside.

One of your dwarves owns it. If s/he's alive, you can try giving all your dwarves cabinets in their bedrooms, and s/he MIGHT eventually come for it. But probably not.

Best way is to channel out the tile and let the problem drop a level. You can build a floor on the hole and then build your trap on the floor.

Urist McDwarf has been unhappy lately. He lost a sock to tragedy recently.

...This is exactly what the problem is. A dwarf claims he owns the darn thing. Well... at least I know why. Thanks.

Never looked at any tutorials until I was fed up at the annoying gameplay. I tried building a early wall from rocksalt. Oh yeah, you can build a wall out of something like that. Perfect sense. I was digging a moat and suddenly I discover a cavern! You know whats in the cavern? A forgotten beast. Which for whatever reason was magma proof because magma started flooding into my moat. Oh did I mention that the forgotten beast could breathe fire, fly, do critical hits on every attack, AND know where all my dwarves are?

... On another note it would be nice if somebody explained to me how I'm supposed to change my view up/down a z layer.

I finally opened the caverns ... at level -50. Turns out I dug one stone square next to it for about twenty levels while trying to find it. Ugh. Well at least I have cavern floor at level -50 and I can now search for water ... I hope I won't find the magma sea before that !

Farming lots of Dimple Cups, because for some reason I thought they could be used for wood.
