DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Aw <bleep>

So I was bored and decided to I'd try the minimalist challenge off the wiki. Should be pretty simple, right?
The only site in the entire world I could find with volcano, infinite water source, clay, and sand happened to be very mountainous. So naturally, DF decided it would be funny to NOT generate a wagon. The challenge kind of requires wood from the wagon. I found my anvil laying on the ground near the dwarves starting location and stocks says my copper nuggets were somewhere, but I never found them. No trace of a wagon, though.
I was pretty much screwed at this point. I didn't have enough material to build a depot even though I could easily survive until it arrived.
Another idea I had was to waltz over the the volcano and use one of the copper nuggets to build a smelter, smelt the other ore for copper, tear down the smelter, use the ore to build a forge and forge a pick...brilliant, right? The volcano is sitting at the bottom of a 30 or 50 z-level hole...
Salvage thoughts? Your own horror stories of how glitched mechanics screwed you over?
