is this a reclaim fortress by any chance? If there was booze laying around in an abandoned fort, a reclaim will find the booze spilled on the ground near where it was stored.

hmm, let me try...

The dwarves they embarked on a mountain
but discovered that they must abstain,
from a hoard of trees,
just littered like leaves,
because the elves said "no," the stains. (just pronounce mountain such that the rhyme works ^^;;)

In a desert, the sun so hot,
lived some dwarves who'd rather not,
'twixt the scorpion bite,
the buzzards with flight,
and not enough booze to allot.

It's likely you don't have the right cloth. If it's close to when a caravan should show up, pray that they have the type she needs. In the meantime, wall off the workshop and place a door as the only way in or out. If she goes berserk, lock the door on her.

which is why you either a) set up jails (restraints or cages turned into a room) or b) don't have a fortress guard (preventing any punishment from being doled out).

mandate wasn't met, hunter had relevant labor on and was chosen for punishment. you don't have jails set up, so a fortress guard went and beat him with whatever weapon he has equipped.

I think WAR means that you're actively in conflict while ---- just means you're hostile to each other.

So just so I have this down correctly, when I'm ready to fight:

Iron Bolts (100)
Bone Bolts (200) CT
Wooden Bolts (200) CT

Becomes:

Iron Bolts (100) CT
Bone Bolts (200) CT
Wooden Bolts (200) CT
?

you don't need the T on the iron bolts, just the C.

ah, misread that. I think that items made from magma-proof material is preserved when someone gets obsidionized.

Cave spider silk rope is 7 points each if I recall, so you spend 14 + cost of dogs for your basic defense.

I always have some points left over anyway, so I don't see the problem with spending a bit to get the rope.

well, magma mist happens when something collapses into magma. If the top of that design is cast obsidian than it will create magma mist, otherwise it won't. Reversing the order of it (magma on bottom, water on top) may work better.

This is just my speculation though, if you have it built find a good time to test it and report back to us.

There's no such thing. If there isn't any soil or water, you'd need to trade to get wood, which opens up a vulnerable point in your design.

Yea, you need to have a soil layer under the spot you want to grow on, which is why you need multiple soil layers unless you want to flood a large area for mud. I can personally attest to having trees and shrubs grow on Red Sand floors.
