Hi guys,

I've come back to the game now that the big adventure update has finally been released, still trying to figure everything out. Mainly, how do I equip my loot? For example, I (dwarven axe lord) found 2 superior quality large pig leather shoe, I unequip the shoes I'm wearing and put them in my bag, then I try to [w]ear the pig leather shoes that I looted but it says that I have nothing left to wear? I also tried removing my socks but that didn't work though...

As for trading, I must have sold all my loot about 3 times for a few high quality weapons to a shopkeeper, only to find that I can't find the weapons anywhere. The bastard pretty much robbed me of my items and if I seize some other weapon then that would be counted as stealing.

Thanks in advance.

I'm quite new to the game, I did about 7 forts to get the hang of the controls and the engine a while back but I kind of gave up on the game after I encountered a few bugs that somehow disabled designations for me. I got back into the game a week ago and I finally got a decent fort going. Now for my problem:

Litast Nourishrag is my designated doctor/miner, when the fortress started she and Dastot Rampartpunch (fisherdwarf/grower) became fond of eachother. They fell in love and in order to fulfill her love for the fisherdwarf she went into a strange mood and claimed on of the local Mason workshops. This was my first strange mood mind you and I had no clue how to handle the situation, she grabbed a bunch of Bitumnious Coals and I figured I should just let her do whatever the hell she wants to. This didn't work out however, as she is now running around butt naked through the entire fortress with all the gents looking at her and all the ladies turning away in shame.

The Fisherdwarf is rather popular in the fort as he has about 6 friends already, so I'm afraid if Listat dies now then he will become miserable and throw the entire fort in a tantrum spiral. I have never dealt with any of this before so this is why I turn to the community for help.

Is there anything I can do to help Listat get out of the mood? I already tried putting her lover in one bedroom with her so they can talk it out but she just ran away doing flip flops... Having the entire fortress undress and join the tantrum spiral does sound pretty fun but I've kind of grown attached to this fort so I don't think I'd like to go with that option.

Hey everyone,

I'm having a bit of a problem with my current fort (I'm somewhat of a noob and I sort of spend the entire first year on getting basic workshops going, cutting gems and starting a farming industry. I think I made the latter too large but thats not what this is about atm...), I have put multiple "cut trees" designations down but they don't show up as jobs on the job list and none of my dwarfs are cutting wood. Just when I finally get some wooden crossbows this happens -_-.
