They aren't forbidden are they? And is your dwarf assigned to a burrow that does not include the gem stockpile?
Also it says rough gems so the ones you have available aren't cut, right?

I am experiencing this same bug.
I have a save game where I am under a goblin siege, I stationed my military behind the gate and when the squad of trolls broke through the gate they started attacking my dwarves but my military just stands around letting the trolls kill them, the only thing they do is block and dodge. I even saved and reloaded the game while it was happening and nothing changed. Anyone got a fix for it?

I got a save mid siege if anyone wants to look at it. Just tell me if you want me to post it.

I checked the save.
All of your wood is marked as (D)ump which will make the dwarves ignore it.

Yes under the orders menu it is best to always forbid other/your death items and corpses, that way your dwarves wont rush out to collect things as already described by Larix.
You can always unforbid those things later if you want them.

For some reason in the new version(s) once you do stockpiles you have to use the give/take links to give workshops access to the raw materials.

That's not true, I don't have any stockpiles or workshops linked up and they work fine.

The wood is not forbidden by any chance is it?
Also your dwarves are not restricted to a burrow are they?

I'll take a look at your save soon if no one answers this before then.

Has anyone done any science regarding FPS on large embarks?
I always play on 4x4 or 5x5 and on the 5th year the game usually slows down to 20 FPS (200 dwarves, no intricate fluid systems, no mods)
Has anyone played on 6x6 or larger and noticed much of a difference in FPS? I turned the temperature off a few days ago for a minute and didn't notice any change in FPS so temp shouldn't be an issue.

I'd love to play on larger embarks since 4x4 feels so cramped but I don't want to retire my fort in the 3rd year due to FPS.
I searched the forums if there was a similar topic but couldn't find one.

Yes, once I have more than 80 dwarves it sort of becomes a necessity for me.
I always bulk order food, clothes, cloth, booze and some other things.
Also sometimes when your dwarves are carrying your bins around constantly with items needed for workshop orders, jobs will get cancelled and the manager will make sure the job gets reassigned as long as it hasn't been completed.

Yeah, attacking other sites, I have been waiting for that since 2009
Who knows maybe it'll be there in a year or two.
