Do you have a dumping area zoned? If there's nowhere to dump stuff, they won't do anything with dump designated items.

Question: Do the decorations on the item have to be magma proof also?

Just wondering.

Say rather that large gems are already cut. When you order your jeweler to cut gems, sometimes he'll come up with a large one instead of a small one. They count as a finished good rather than a gem, and so are encrustable.

Well, since the last four mole dogs died in cages, inside my fortress, in a non-exposed area, I'm pretty sure it wasn't that. My brook wasn't even freezing on this map, either.

With the 40d9 version, I had to convert the art files to bmp from the png format it came in. Not sure what that was about. Runs fine, though. About 100-200 fps faster on a seven dwarf 6x6 flat embark.

My bottomless pit started out inhabited by seven or eight naked mole dogs. Now there's only one, and I don't know why.

Half of them just dropped dead in the chasm, so I decided it was crucial to capture the remaining animals for conservation purposes. I managed to herd the four living mole-dogs into a set of cage traps. I thought this would be good enough to last me until my dungeon master arrived and set up a captive breeding program. But one of the remaining four died in a cage and was butchered. I decided to pit the remaining three in an enclosure in an attempt to make them breed, and instituted a genetic engineering project to increase longevity (read: edited their maxage tag in the raws). Alas, it was all for naught. The last male has died, and only a single naked mole dog remains. I fear the species is doomed to extinction...

So, anybody know what's causing this? They're just dropping dead. No visible cause, no purple death message in the announcements.

Monkeys make everything better. It's a scientifically proven fact.
