"I was told to stand in this child's bedroom and protect the citizens of the fortress. There is currently a vampire murdering the child. I'll ignore bureaucratic procedure and kill the vampire before it can harm the child further," said none of my elite marksdwarves ever.

"This vampire killed a child. Locking them up for half an hour is not the correct thing to do in this situation," said none of my captains of the guard ever.

A seven-year-old girl just walked near my fort and immediately became possessed.

So I just started a fortress. It's the third day of the first month. The fisherdwarf jumps into the river to attack an eel and instantly dies.

The dwarf reg timnärilral died in year 2015 (cause: struck_down), killed by the sea lamprey nakuththak.
And here I thought this Calm embark location would be remotely safe.

Will we ever see toryridbadydi'u (lojban for "Dwarf Fortress") or any other non-English Dwarf Fortress? Putting UI strings into editable files would go a long way towards this.

I've cleared out two towers as a psionic now and couldn't find any books or slabs in either of them.

Also: there are several non-liquids that look like water. Some plants have letters for their icon, and some animals (notably halflings) have symbols for their icon.

I just found a night creature and it was offended when I called it a night creature.

Dirigible Antelope has to be the best/worst idea for a creature ever.

Restricted please...

The 16 versions of each of 14 dragons(16x14 dragons) spamming the list is bad enough.
It'd be okay if the names weren't all identical.

I've yet to see them melt...
Hmm...
They did melt once when killed I think...
They're made of ether (material_template_ztg.txt), which has a boiling point of -9966°F.

They dont melt in the arena

Check your temperature.

They melt in the arena in adventure-like mode, just not in fortress-like mode.

So it's 3am, I'm really tired and maybe even a tiny bit drunk. I decide to install an automated garbage disposal system in my fort. So I set up an atom smasher, link it to a very basic water based repeater, then channel out a hole directly above it and designate it as a dump zone. See the problem yet? Well if not let me explain. In my obviously less than 100% mental state, it simply slipped my mind: "wait, what happens if they dump all those non-masterwork beds, cabinets, coffers, mechanism, etc and the atom smasher is in the lowered state?" Well, I found out fast enough. With the very first mass dump ordered, I had pretty much the entire fort standing right next to that hole as several hundred pieces of stone furniture came flying back out at extreme velocities.

In a single messy instant, about 70% of my fort was turned into chunky salsa.

Dwarf Fortress: like kerbal space program, but with a higher chance of failure due to tiny details.

wandering spirits are gases at room temperature, so they melt instantly.

Dwarf Fortress has 2000+ words. DFScratch has 170. I should try adding more words so I can say I contributed.

Maybe you were in a cold location.
I doubt it. The civ was on the warmer half of the map, and water wasn't frozen.

Did you try heating your food up?
How would I do that?

I remember having a waterskin full of ice on vanilla DF and trying to heat it over a campfire, but I couldn't figure out the command for it.
