# 345: Lava is not a fluid. Lava is a gas. You cannot dig a diafram between you and the lava like you do with a river. You have to channel and hope that the miner won't fell in the gap.

And so I lost an iron pick too. If I can avoid the tantrum, I'll get over it.

[TheDarkStar]

#346: Do not attempt to mine large candy deposits without a cave-in for safety (and a good military), or it goes badly.
#347: Do not make your entire fort haul things from near the bottom of the world all the way up, or any FBs/clowns/random DF monsters will kill your entire fort. Even worse if combined with #346.

[Orange Wizard]

#347b: Unless that was your goal originally.

[locustgate]

#348: A giant wolverine can wipe out my entire (animal) textile, milk, and meat industry with in the space of 1 notice.
#348b: A giant wolverine would make a great war beast.

349: digging straight to cavern #3 for pretty red and blue trees in year one, may result in a easily accessible candy cane
mining and processing the candy at this point can cause the nearby GOBLINS to say "ooh candy" and send 10x goblin master lasher's, on cave dragons... in year 3 of your fort

350: the area 2x tiles from the magma forges, and 2x z-levels down, is a no dig zone
any violation of this rule may result in unexpected !!FUN!!

edit:
351: any animals, especially cats and dogs, are a nightmare in a reanimation biome
8x zombie cats are deadly to your dwarves, especially before they even start digging
351a: war dogs dont help with zombie cats, that will soon be a group of zombie cats, with zombie dogs
351b: in a reanimation biome, any fisherdwarf will soon become a zombie fisherdwarf

[BFEL]

352: While Titans composed of water are indeed easy to kill, Water Titans with webs can still destroy your entire military before you know why everyone is dead.

[enizer]

353: when engraving en masse, consider potential future corridors ahead of time, and DONT engrave those tiles
a lot of people get inconvenienced when the whole engravers guild throws a tantrum at the same time due to new corridor/masterwork art collisions

[Iceflame]

354: Evil Biome + Meat industry equals Fun

[Knick]

355:  No matter how many coffins you make, or how big your catacombs, you will never put the ghosts of previous inhabitant to rest if you don't categorize, mass unforbid/claim, and collect their remains.

[Silverlock]

356: Fluids are fully capable of killing your entire fortress.  They also intent upon it, and they never, ever sleep.
357: Keas and kea men are powered by the spirit of Loki and must all die.

[Naryar]

357 : I seemingly need to be reminded that webs make a forgotten beast an absolute god of war in melee.

[Splint]

358. Forgetting to make sure a lump of ice you marked for digging doesn't have more ice on top of it makes for a bunch of dead miners fairly quickly.

[Klitri]

359. Not looking where you are embarking can cause a lot of issues for an above ground city, especially when you embarked beside a necromancer tower.

[flabort]

360. When reclaiming in an evil biome, or partially evil map, keep in mind that all objects get scattered to all sections of the map. That includes 80+ bodyparts into the evil rains.
360a. When preparing a millitarized reclaim crew, be sure to remember to prepare the items and not just skills. 5 hammer dwarves, 3 picks, 1 axe. Yeah....

361: whenever somebody tells you water is useful, THEY LIE.
