That's another thing, what about all the gear they dropped, should I stay clear? Or does it just count us unowned?

That's yours now but consider it on credit as they'll count it in the profit/loss calculations.

Cool, looks like it was just all tower cap logs anyway, so not too much to pay back. Thanks for the help.

A cart from the dwarven caravan got stuck on it's way into my fortress just as a 40 goblin siege army decided to rear it's ugly head. The cart was annihilated of course, and now the I'm being told there are no merchants trading right now, even though the rest of the caravan is still there. I can deal without a trade for this year, but is this going to cause problems from here on out? Will I still be able to trade with them in future? Will they start attacks on my fortress for the death of their compatriots? I'd rather have some idea now so I can revert to my last save, instead of playing another year only to get attacked.

Huh, wiki says otherwise.

Short of killing the dwarf in question? No.

However, I believe if they have a room and a cabinet they will store their spare clothing there, so that might help. Dunno if they'll gather their discarded underwear though.

Recently, I've noticed that even dead dwarves retain ownership of their items, preventing me from getting rid of the XXpig tail sandalsXX that litter my fort. Your only solution may be magma cleansing or atom smashing. Setting them on fire via dragon breath might also work.

Attempting atom smashing but most of the time the dwarves building the bridge move the clothing out of the way before it's completion.

Use 't' to actually look -inside- the building.

A building can "contain" items. And if you don't have enough hauling to both a food stockpile and a refuse stockpile...

Ah! I was wondering why it wasn't possible to see items craftsdwarves were working with as well. Yep, the place is a mess apparently, thanks very much 

Have you tried marking the objects as forbidden? I'm having the opposite trouble, loads of owned clothing lying around my fortress that my dwarves just won't pick up, the place is getting messy.

Those are pretty minor wounds actually. Check the wiki-- http://dwarf.lendemaindeveille.com/index.php/Damage

if bedrest doesn't work, I suggest water therapy.

He's already rested up and is walking around, this isn't something showing up as a wound on a regular body part that he would rest for, it's added to the end of the list whereas everyone else doesn't have 'lower spine' on there. I don't think it's showing the same colour as a moderate wound, that's more like a dark yellow according to the wiki.

Unfortunately, coverings don't work that way, last I heard. Instead of having a blood- and vomit-covered cat, you'll have a blood-, vomit-, and water-covered cat.

Next version, you'll be able to actually clean things, with soap. Imagine that.

I can't wait til the next version dammit 

On a possible related note the little bastards (along with every other animal in my fort) are now blocking up the corridor leading to my well, are they trying to get to the water or something? Wth? I've got soldiers in there who are supposed to be on duty who can't get out.
