Okay so I chose my embark site because it had a volcano and I could see flux from my site chooser.  I thought I would be making myself easier until I realized there was no water.  That's okay, I thought.  I'll just get an above ground farm running and brew all my drinks.  Now I have an injured dwarf.  It's pretty minor and he should heal up fine....except he needs water to drink.  I didn't think about this 3 years ago. 

Is there any way to get him something to drink, or is he destined to die?

On further inspection, his injury does not appear to be so minor.  He is missing his right upper leg.....I'm guessing he is carrying his lower leg around with him.

In either case, it seems like this might be a great concern as my fort matures if I'm not able to obtain any water for injured dwarves.

For outdoor farming do I have to make the tiles muddy before I can grow?  I though you didn't but I can't seem to plant anything.  I can select the seeds for the seasons but no job shows up under <j> and my farmer is just sitting there doing nothing.

Howdy,

My game is crashing at a certain point in time.  It crashes and nothing is printed to the error log.  I have a save about 30 seconds before the crash luckily but no matter what I do I can't seem to get past it.

I am running 31.03 with genesis mod but I'm thinking it doesn't have anything to do with genesis because in the genesis thread someone reported the same problem and another user said that it occurs in vanilla too. 

What he didn't say, was if there is any way to get past it.

I'm not melting anything which I know causes some errors.  I also think that it *might* have something to do with a trade caravan leaving.  I'm not sure, but it just seems to be about the time that the caravan would be on it's way out. 

Does anyone have any ideas how to get past this?  I really love this fort and would hate to abandon.

I have had an issue for some time now where the game's graphics get very buggy.  It's quite annoying.  It seems somewhat random, but only occurs when I am doing things (entering menus mostly, but also a lot on the create new world/embark screen).  The screen starts blinking really fast.  It's almost like one of the frames in the buffers gets stuck because I am seeing older images. 

At first it was just annoying but now it's so bad I can't even embark because I can't see any of the information of the sites I'm choosing.

Normally a restart of the game fixed it for a time, but now it's happening as soon as I start the game.

Has anyone experienced this and does anyone have any solutions?

I am currently using genesis mod on 31.03 but even with vanilla I was getting the same issue (although perhaps not quite as frequent).

I've ready over the wiki and maybe i'm not quit understanding, or maybe it isn't clear.  Does a screw pump have to be magma safe or fire safe to pump magma.  Furthermore, which parts need to be safe?  All of them or just the block?

I really like where my fortress is right now, is there any way I can start a new embark in the same location if I don't remember where my fortress was.  I want to try doing it again with no traps this time around but I really liked the location because it had plentiful ore, fuel, and flux.  Thanks!

I also don't want to abandon and reclaim the fortress, I would like to start from scratch.

I have plenty of food and booze and a well in my fortress, but my dwarves are constantly complaining of hunger, thirst, and I just had one dye of thirst.

Any ideas?

Playing 31.03.

Last 2 seasons I have attracted no migrants. My first 3 waves were good - 7, 6, then 22.  But now I'm receiving none.  My trade liason visited and we did the agreement thing but the trade caravan still hasn't arrived. 

Any ideas on what is going on? 

Thanks!
