edit : fixed typo

I'm having a new problem since i'm playing with the new version of DF :

I tend to get a whole lot of messages that my carpenters' (and only theirs) masterworks have been lost.

I have no thieves stealing them, i have no tantruming dwarf destroying anything, i'm wondering if this is just a bug or if i'm missing something...

For a while now, my carpenters have been making nothing but bins and barrels,so the only possible explanation i see is : when they make a masterwork bin, and some dwarf takes it to a stockpile to stuff it with stone crafts or whatever, the game considers it has been lost....

Any idea on what's going on here is highly appreciated

Thanks

Simple question :

The wiki says Sand Bags go into Furniture Stockpiles, so i forbid "boxes and bags" from one Furniture Stockpile (lets name it SP1) and allowed nothing but "boxes and bags" in another Furniture Stockpile (SP2), closer to the Glass Furnaces

Turns out the empty bags do indeed go to SP2, but the bags full of sand still go into SP1 (SP1 is allowed to contain a whole lot of other crap, leather, cloth, finished goods, other furniture, etc..)

Can anyone help me fix this?

Thanks in advance

I started tonite a whole new fortress (my old one didnt have any flux   ) and when reading the "Your first fortress" article in the wiki, there was this advise to dump the initial anvil cause the first dwarven caravan would bring one anyway.. so i did

Since i had so many points to spend, i thought "Hey lets bring a whole army of dogs for fun", so i embarked with 12 dogs and one of my miners also set to "Proficient Animal Trainer"...

After a month or two, i trained the 12 doggies into War Dogs, who took out a bunch of kobold thieves in the blink of an eye, life was bright...

But now, i realise that the damn doggies follow their trainer everywhere, no matter what he's doing (usually, mining), and so do their 20 or so puppies... So i got this guy followed by about 30 dogs anywhere he goes, and it causes much slowing down of the computer...

I was wondering how i could maybe station those dogs, or at least the war dogs, to a position (a zone? a stockpile?), so they would quit harrassing the poor miner...

Thanks for help

She didnt care that her bedroom wasnt ready yet, i'm sure she could've waited longer.. Even when her Supremely Royal Bedroom/Dining Room/Throne Room/Mausoleum was completed, with all the Platinum/Aluminum/Gold furniture, she still kept throwing tantrums >.<

She was getting upset because my Mayor and my Dungeon Master both also had "Royal" rooms, and the Queen wasn't able to accept that! I moved my Mayor and Dungeon Master to a less fancy room, and then the Queen's quickly moved from "very unhappy" to "ecstatic"

The two others didn't seem to mind the downgrade of their rooms, by the way

So now, everything's well in "CrazeGirders"  

My soldiers are sparring like crazy in the barracks, and their skills are really high, they're all champions, with Legendary Wrestler, Shield User, WhateverWeapon User, and they all tend to suck in Armor User...

I never made them spar without an armour, by the way, they already had the whole set (plate + helm + greaves + 2 boots + 2 gauntlets + shield) when the barracks was designated

So it seems that armor user trains a lot slowlier than other military skills..

Any idea on how to speed the process would be highly appreciated  

Thanks in advance
