@Damdern, a squad won't equip their uniform, until they are activated for the first time.  Do an s, press letter for the squad you want to activate (a,b,c,etc..), and then t, to activate a squad.  Or use Toady's gawd awful military menu, but that thing, the military menu(alerts), can get freaking confusing.

The dwarves are active and training, I've used them to hold a few ambushes, as well as shoot whatever I can trap and toss into my arena, still doesn't work, only 2 or 3 of them put gloves, boots and a helm on.

First time playing 0.34.11, why won't any of my military dwarves put their gauntlets, high boots and helmets on?

They don't want to take off their cloth boots/mittens/caps/whatever and put the armor on, even when I individually assign them uniforms instead of just hitting the 'Metal Armor' preset. Even when I tell them to replace their current clothes with the armor instead of putting it on over top. The only way I can get them to put armor on is if their clothes wear out.

Halberd. Takes limbs off like a battleaxe, stabs through chitinous exoskeleton like a spear.

NOPE

Retire

Negative, as long as I can still throw, I am still a deadly dwarf.

I have a battle axe and a small carving knife in my inventory and I can't butcher anything, it claims I don't have a weapon to do it with, but I appear to have found a workaround. If I throw a weapon at them and get it lodged in them, I can butcher the animal.

I can still throw perfectly fine despite neither of my hands working, and I'm a master thrower/archer, so my adventure continues!

Well, due to a bad encounter with a wolf, I lost the ability to grasp in 1 hand, and while running from boogeymen I lost the ability to grasp with the other hand. I also ended up dropping most of my food to get my speed back up while I ran. Will nerve damage ever heal so I can butcher animals? or will I have to live off of berries I steal from peoples huts from now on?

I was fighting someone and they dodged my attack and ended up standing on top of a statue, I continued to fight them, and somehow they ended up in possession of my «≡Iron Halberd≡», and he bled out on the statue, and I have no idea how to move on top of the statue to get my weapon back.

No, I copied and pasted the worldgen stuff from the OP, didn't change a thing.

I know it says "[END_YEAR:1050]", but my worldgen stops at year 50. What is going on?

How do I strip caged prisoners of only their weapons?

I thought it was an all or nothing type deal.

Yes. And you are lucky that you are in the current version, as before that migrants would just be considered "missing" for the rest of eternity until their ghost rose, meaning you couldn't engrave slabs for them until then.

Ok, thanks. Setting a population cap never actually works for me, and I'm not that great at dwarf fortress, so I'm sitting here at 150 dwarves, completely overwhelmed, with extremely low FPS. Time to crush some migrants.

If I use an atom smasher to rid myself of migrants, will I have to engrave memorial slabs for them?

Ah, thanks. This is my first time playing with magma forges, forgot I would still need to introduce charcoal into the equation.

DF Gameplay Questions / Can't make Pig Iron or Steel

I have flux (or so the wiki tells me), I have Iron, I have magma forges, but I can't make pig iron or steel. This is with the latest version of Lazy Newb Pack ([0.34.07] [V12]) and phoebus tileset.

Is my game bugged? I googled the problem and found 2 error reports of people encountering this same problem, but there were no solutions, but I'm not sure if I'm just missing a step or something.

Do traction benches need to be placed near beds like tables do? or am I free to place them in a separate area of the hospital?
