Interesting things that I noticed in previous tests:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Came across an abandoned formic fortress with the Everqueen inside the tower.


I was attacked by the body part of a formic that I killed. Is this normal?

Congrats! These are apparently angelic beings in thongs? A flying adventurer is a nice thing to have for variety.

I'm pretty sure that last thing's not normal by the way. Would actually be interesting to know what caused it. Something that reanimates without LOS?
Edit - from screenshot above that it seems to be partially in an evil region and that's probably it

Wherever those are from, that part is copied word for word from vanilla. We do not have materials that go by those tokens.

Well, I've resolved the sight and breathing issue, but my creature still cannot grasp, fly, or stand. I have added both a brain and the [NO_THOUGHT_CENTRAL_FOR_MOVEMENT] tag, but neither seem to be helping.

Using NO_THOUGHT_CENTER_FOR_MOVEMENT should not be used as a permanent workaround for not having a functional brain though, because that makes the creature immune to having its brain smashed in - unless that's your intended result. In the long run, we will end up with a world that behaves very strangely under any nonstandard conditions (ie. the average df game) if we just care about making it work for a testing instance and not enough about making it work correctly.

If it works with that token, have correctly identified it's a brain issue. Make sure the brain is connected to something, is made of nervous tissue and has [THOUGHT] and try removing the token again.

Another question is how many dwarves you are trying to supply.  Going with some very rough calculations with 40 hives you would produce around 250 mead per year (200 mead per harvest 1 harvest every 9 months).  If ever dwarf requires ~ 16 drinks per year you could supply around 16 dwarves. That should be enough in theory to support the first year's migrants.  Even if you only managed to get one harvest a year (far more likely all things considered) you should still have enough to supply 12 dwarves in relative comfort.

Under no circumstances does a dwarf require 16 drinks/year, k. see posts just before you.

If they don't exist in the arena or even as errors in the log, your file header is incorrect.

To know for sure...

We'll need to see your raws

You're so keen on fermenting milk when it's not known if it's necessary yet.

Theory:

Considering this: http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/User_talk:SethCreiyd
and the fact that vampire slow does not appear to come very fast (I admit to not having any statistics) -- You should be able to avoid the worst effects of alcohol withdrawal if you can import and brew in mead either 2x or minimally 1x your population number units of alcohol every year. Open the doors to the wine cellar for one month of summer and optionally for christmas only.

Also, children and babies don't need alcohol - they do nothing useful anyway. Lower class citizens like fish dissectors probably don't need as much either, so station them elsewhere when you have limited booze and are about to let dwarves drink. So if you assume one third of your fort is children, one third is second class citizens that get half booze rations, and one third is useful dwarves you want to keep in the vicinity of optimum condition... we're looking at approximately 100-200 units of drink per year? If you get those 6+7+4 booze barrels from caravans that's already 85 units. And you'll probably get more from the dwarves if all you order is booze.

You don't need exact reliability because dwarves don't die from not getting their alcohol or having to wait a while. Brewing must of course happen behind an airlock so as to avoid any unnecessary mobs of thirsty dwarves invading the still.

We need ali we can get (all the content you can give), and we need all the things we can't get to too. One reason for insect abundance is how productive StL's turn was - purely a good thing. There should be tons of dragons now too.
