Love it. Keep at it! Funny thing is though, I always name my dwarves in Roman ways. The first seven of my dwarves are given both a first and last name (Julius Caesar, Mark Antony, Marcus Brutus, etc). And, I like your approach on things. I may adapt something like this.

How do I make soap? I have the workshop, a soapmaker, the materials, but yet the option to actually make soap is painted in red. What do I do?

I have the same issue, and always have, just because the names are too long for the screen. But right, as suggested, it might have to do with your tileset. Maybe your previous one (?) dealt with it. Or maybe you had a few settings that were different in your old .init than your new .init

Could be some technical issue.

You could attempt to flood water into the area, thus turning some of the magma into obsidian, thus sealing the gap.

Ah. So pretty much corner them off in their own little quarantined section? Damn. Oh well. When my fortress grows, I'll probably create factories of sorts with some stockpiles, and plenty of stone, all for the purpose of creating a lot.

Thanks for your answer

At the moment, when setting my Mason to build some thing out of stone, he likes to choose the farthest stone over the nearest. What's the solution to this? It makes building even a single item take much, much longer than it actually should.

So at the moment, my fort is under attack by a bunch of goblins, and I don't exactly have the military to fend them off. So how do I assign all of my people from the outside to run inside? I think it has something to do with burrows, but I can't seem to figure it out, and the wiki is confusing me more than it's helping. Any help would be appreciated.
