The point is to establish the truth, irrespective of personal habits, future changes, etc.

.

It's one thing to say "I think X" whether with or without evidence, it's another to unequivocally declare "X" then proceed to become angry when someone contradicts you, and offers evidence to back it up, then asks (quite reasonably) if you have any evidence to the contrary.

Well said.

If NullForceOmega and/or Loci were to consider spending the time to create a 43.05 test embark and find out... everyone reading the post would benefit.

Dwarf Fortress.. the only game that makes me consider, "Is the enviroment so Scorching that natural brush fires or spontaneous combustion might have occurred?".

In your vid it looks like there is a trap downward and to the left blocking the route. The path needs to be three wide, orthogonally.

Then the wiki is wrong and needs to be updated.
I have moved the traps and indeed, it looks like the caravan cannot move diagonally through 3 wide space.

The wiki says, "Caravans need 3-wide corridors, but that corridor does not need to be straight." This probably is intended to mean that the wagon can be forced to move one west, one north, one west, one north, one west, one north, and so on... But the wagons do need to move orthogonally, unlike dwarfs.
EDIT: I actually looked at the wiki example... Yes, that first example will not work. The center path would need to be several squares wider so that wagon could move properly.

You might want to channel an inlet close to your fort, cover it with floorgrates, and place a zone there for fishing (also set 'o' 'z' 'f' to zone-only). Then make sure you do not have "raw fish" enabled in your regular food  stockpiles.

This ensures your fishery workers have shorter distances to haul the raw fish, and prevents the fisherdwarf from being startled by wildlife and falling in the ocean.

Is that woodcutter in a squad? Was his squad given any order (move/patrol/kill, or a barracks set to 't'raining for that squad). If yes, that is the problem.

Miners, woodcutters, and hunters have problems with the civilian job uniform conflicting with military uniforms and if they are in a squad and get squad orders (Move/Kill) or have a barracks with their squad set to train, they will drop their civilian labor tool, equip their military uniform (even if they have 'no uniform', it still goes into effect). and then no longer respond to the civilian labor.

I put miners, hunters, and woodcutters in a squad with no uniforms, but I do not give them squad orders or a barracks to train at.

To fix it, get him out of the squad. Disabled the woodcutter labor then enable it.

EDIT: Another thing to check, is that axe forbidden? Also, there is no known way to get a dwarf to use the same axe for both a military uniform and a woodcutter uniform.

If the block was not counted when you try to build walls or floors, then it was already assigned for another task. Probably not a hauling task since that would have happened quickly, but something like a bridge or workshop construction that required a certain labor, and all the guys with that labor were busy, so the job took a while.

I remember being able to easily trade food when merchants came but now I cant ever seem to find food barrels in the trade menu when they arrive. I have loads of flour and no use for it myself yet I cant trade it away.

You have "loads of flour"... That needs to be baked in a kitchen before it is a prepared food. But if it was baked and you still cannot see it when searching for "prepared", then does toggling "Culling on mandates" show the food?
