When you say 'revealed itself', you mean you can see everything across every layer?

That is indeed very peculiar. Are you aware of what dwells in the dark places of the world? If you are not, I would strongly recommend abandoning this Fortress so you don't spoil it for yourself. Maybe post the save so others can examine it.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Brand new iron mail shirts suddenly tattered?
« on: November 29, 2015, 02:35:27 pm »I've disabled all refuse on my stockpile, but there's still the issue of the shirts.Anything which can be sold to a Caravan, can be done so regardless of condition. One of the running jokes in DF is that ☼xxClothingxx☼ can be sold for a tidy profit. Essentially the merchants will pay a small fortune for Dwarven rags, b/c masterwork cloth, lol. As for melting; since only a portion of the item counts, you need to keep track of which Smelter is dedicated to melting jobs, in order to accumulate the new bars. Unless iron is super-rare, you're better off just selling the shirts.
Should I just melt them down for iron, or can I still sell them to caravans in the condition they're in?

Cut gems are different from raw gems. Since the problem seems to be not using existing materials, see if there are any nearby veins you can quickly mine out.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Are Dorfs naturally sadistic, or does the game just bring it out?

Interesting points all around. Answer me this; Minecraft. I can mod the zombies to look like Elves. I can install a 128x texture pack with dynamic shadows and full anti-aliasing effects. The game looks genuinely gorgeous. Then I can build a bridge atop a magma pit, controlled by a lever, and watch from my balcony as the 'Elves' attempt to attack me and are plunged to a fiery doom. Why don't I gain anywhere near the amount of satisfaction as I would from the same actions in DF?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Can Minotaurs Become Werebeasts?
« on: November 28, 2015, 09:42:57 am »Anyone have any idea whether a minotaur bitten by a werebeast can become a werebeast itself? If no-one knows, I will have to find out the fun way. I wonder what a half-bull, quarter dwarf, quarter tortoise would look like.
Spoiler: it is terrifying (click to show/hide)

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Dormitory vs. Individual bedrooms?
« on: November 28, 2015, 09:36:00 am »
As Orange Wizard said, the shared room thoughts can be easily counteracted. I use Dorms simply for efficiency; creating 2 or 3 throughout the Fortress, typically on a different Z Level from the industry it is built for, to ensure the Dwarves aren't woken by noise. However, all of my skilled & military Dwarves get their own bedroom.
I highly recommend you look into a program called QuickFort. It allows you to lay out blueprints in Excel & import the digging/building designations directly to DF. It makes starting a new Fortress or building a Mega Dining Hall just so incredibly easy.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Are Dorfs naturally sadistic, or does the game just bring it out?
« on: November 24, 2015, 10:23:33 pm »
Amidst all of the !SCIENCE! & Engineering, I never stopped to think about why I grin when reading such accounts. I am curious if you all have ever pondered the philosophical implications of what we do here. Does simply having the tools turn otherwise ordinary gamers towards pursuits like Shotguns & Child Care? Or is sado-creativity inherent in the gamer, who is thus drawn to the freedom offered by Dwarf Fortress?
Rather a 'chicken or egg' conundrum I realize, but still one for which I am now quite curious to hear the thoughts of other Dorfs.
