Thing that always pisses me off is when civilian dwarves encounter some enemy and then they start running randomly around the map instead of towards the entrance to the fort  where the military and all the traps are. A lot of dwarves die like this needlessly when they could just have gone  to the entrance that's only one screen away.

I'm doing this for my current fortress. My nobles are locked away in a vault underground, isolated from the rest of the fortress. They have a well, a farm, and their own tiny but lavish bedroom and dining rooms. I've used dwarf manager so that they will farm their own crops. As punishment for being nobles they don't get booze, only water from the well. They also are only allowed to ever eat the same food. I hope they like strawberries!

I can just see it
Urist McJunior: What we avin fo dinnah mum?
Urist Mcmum: Strawberries..
Urist McJunior: Awwww a'gain?
Mcmum: Wait and for dessert e'll have a DEAD RAT!
Mcjunior: Heck yes.

Does any body think the sight will crash on release day?

Maybe, but I have binoculars.

What?

It's the joke!

That dog is mildly disturbing.

The easiest solution against having clothes laying around is to give them individual rooms, then the pants Urist Mcpervert ripped off that pretty number will get stored in a cabinet.

God dammit, in real life the loss of a pet is something we all have to face eventually. In dwarf fortress it causes the  collapse of a civilization. The miner threw a rock and angered someone else, now they're mad and throwing crap at other dwarves , all over some god damn dead cat!

Ah yeah...! My block stock piles aren't far from my magma forges+furnaces, it's probable that snakes are crawling into it. Ive begun producing nickel bins instead I think that should stop the bin loss.

Is it normal to get mega beasts in general so often? I get one nearly every year now (playing dig deeper). Also I have a stupid noble who requests items made out of dragon hide and I only have one bar that's worth an insane amount! What method should I use to get rid of him?

My  fortress thats going into its 5th year actually has had 2 black dragon encounters. The first time the dragon flew over my wall into some marksdwarves who I expected would be killed, a bolt  struck the dragon's heart and it died almost instantly. Second time around the dragon instead went through the front entrance and was captured, shortly after it was tamed and then placed at my Fortifications to spew fire at invaders.
