After skirmish with "Deadly dust" forgotten beast my lovely fort may now see its end.

I get reports from all across the fortress, dorfs get paralyzed and die from suffocation. Is there anything I can do to survive?

Refer to this article. Do what it says. By the time I finished it, I knew everything I needed to manage the fort

I kinda agree that putting such exercises into game itself would be useful, but it has too many interconnected features to just do it.

Leave earthenware alone, make stone pots. They even hold liquid already. Assuming my game is bugged.

You can always recognize them when placing - Xs are slightly darker shade of green. I think smelter has impassable top-center, and forge has left and right tiles in middle row.

Not sure if they would stop magma crabs.

I've never fought night trolls (or whatever you wanna call them) in Fortress Mode, but I've killed a few in Adventure Mode. They can easily kill off 4-5 recruited soldiers without getting hurt too much, so sending a recruit or two against it will probably result in Fun. Because after it's done pulverizing the unfortunate soldiers, it's likely gonna crawl up from it's lair and eat the rest of your expedition.

I sent 3 soldiers - novice axedwarf with copper axe (trained self from scratch, one of original memebers of standard party), competent swordsdwarf and competent hammerdwarf. All with no armor and silver weapon (Life is hard when all ore you have is galena). Axedwarf ended up dead, swordsdwarf walked away with torn both shoulders, he's fine now. Claimed some armor as a trophy as well as yellow jasper quern (how did this happen?).

Hey, it indicates their mighty intelligence.

His lair is made of soil, though.

I'm really tempted by some stuff he has in his cave. But all I have is a recruit with copper axe and wooden shield.
