I started a new fortress and about 30 minutes later I had to go somewhere, so I saved it and quit, when I got back and booted up DF the world was gone, only option was "create new world" looking in my files and the region is still there, help

note: yes I reported this to the tracker

I've had loads of crashes when playing adventure mode, not sure of cause, last time happened when I entered a lair intending to slay a wicked hag consort
ideas on cause?

I've started a new fortress and I've hit a few obsidian layers. I know you can make obsidian from magma and water but does finding layers of it premade mean there's magma under?

tv tropes, a few months ago I tried, got frustrated with it, deleted, about a month ago I picked it up again and now can't put it down

To: nobles of "onslaughgranite"
subject: demands

It has come to my attention that the noble population has been making more and more impossible demands, while demands and mandates are perfectly acceptable among the nobles, the frequency of mandates and demands as well as the demands themselves have worn my patience severely, my masons, smiths and carpenters have had much of there precious time making your absurd demands. My limit, however, was reached when a "Thob Rawcrystals" baron of this fortress mandated the construction of a slade bed. this, of course is impossible. In response I have constructed multiply cages that have been scattered around the map, in the event that a similar absurd demand or mandate is made, the offender will be hauled to the nearest cage out there, walled up, and promptly forgotten has they slowly starve to death. you have been warned.

buzzards have never ever bothered me. ever, they just fly around and cause spam cancellations for me

and I mean EVERYTHING, stuff like lions, alligator and giant animals I understand, but in the summer, I get bombarded with "urist mcsomething cancels haul, interrupted by buzzard or some other thing" it gets to the point where I have to lock the doors and keep them inside, the thing is, these buzzards or whatever else is interrupting my dwarves, are like 10 z layers above them flying lazily about

the only animals at the time were barn owls, and the only "remains" would a few drops of goblin blood

EDIT: after relooking, I saw there were also 4 giant flies, so that might be why. also, in the unit screen, the wagon is listed as "missing"
