(I just hope that this dwarf doesn't go fey mood on me and demand any of this mythical substance.)

Huh, so if we want our dwarves to convert buildings with useful floorplans (looms for large open pathing space, or bowyer workshops for their vertical walls), we should make our entire fortress path through them?

(So possessed dwarves converting workshops isn't intentional? Hmm.)

There is a farmer dwarf going to build a bridge. If everything is left alone for about half a minute or so, the announcements get spammed with a "building cancelled due to pathfinding" sort of message. Once these start, select the bridge with "t" and then cancel its construction with "x"; this will cause the game to crash instantly.

I'm going to go ahead and do some more testing (whether cancelling before the spam doesn't cause the crash, for example) to try to help narrow down the cause, but would you like me to send you the save file, and if so how would you prefer I send it?

Thanks for all your hard work!

Toady's mentioning of the game Life makes me think of an idea: You could try to set up OTHER waves to disrupt the perpetual wave agents...

Or maybe you could try connecting the channels up to the chasm?

I have a game in which the caravan did not come in either the first or the second year. It is a wasteland environment (Temperate/None/None). The metalsmith did appear in the summer, but aside from that the only creatures to show up have been a naked mole dog and some ratmen. (The naked mole dog came at a great time; I had expected to trade for food so everyone was hungry.)

My first guess was that the world location wasn't linked to a Dwarf civilization, but I imagine that the game would cull out starting locations like that. My only other guess is that no NPCs are spawning outside (in my experience there has usually at least been a Jaguar or so on such maps; nothing in two years, here.)

The world was generated with the newest version. My save is currently at the second winter. If you want, I can e-mail you the save.

Thanks again for creating such a great game, and for doing such an amazing job of maintaining it!
