Apparently one of my dorfs is Chuck Norris.

More like one-kick dwarf.

At least a black belt in Taekwondo, clearly. Especially with the "spiralboots."

Good grief, why didn't I notice that irony sooner...

I've had to stop accepting bards into the fort since I realized they were nearly half of my total population.

I'll take a few early on, and some scholars; but after a while, it' s just too much.

I've had some fun making embark sites on those rare spots where "Tall" mountains meet flatland. You get some really dramatic mountaintops and cliffs.

Of course, these can be hard to find.

Make it a tourist attraction. Seal it in with a ring of windows and build an "o" shaped room around it. Make the room a tavern. Promote the beast to the role of fort mascot.
Bonus points for the tavern name being something appropriate.

There's an idea.

 

Ok I´ve fixed it, it was my mistake. I assumed that my furnace operating dwarves had to be obviously with "furnace operator" job activated. But instead they all were "wood burners" workin at a furnace, not furnace operators per se. So I checked in my dtherapist and then I realized that. I just set some dwarves to furnace operators and voila! problem solved. Me and half a dozen patched up dwarfs thank you all for your help!

Anytime. Glad to be useful.

oh now I´m in doubt. I don´t remember exactly which version I have and I´m on other pc right now. Lets pretend I actually have the latest version, could there be something missing? Or if I should have 42.xx version there would be no chance to miss the tavern option?

Nope, you are right its a version issue. I´ve downloaded mine from here: http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=7622
I hope my saves are still working with the new version

http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Release_information/0.42.06 That info should be here.

You might also miss other game details (I had an issue with libraries, for instance) depending on how far back you've gone. For instance,  musical instruments are created at worldgen, so if you've got a world made in a pre-instrument version, you don't get the ability to manufacture any instruments even if you move the file to the latest version.

I decided to station some marksdwarves nearby and see if I could pincushion it to death.

Stairs were dug, fortifications were carved, marksdwarves got into position and punched it so full of holes it fell into the lake...

And promptly climbed back to tis spot on the spore tree and resumed sitting, even while being fired upon by an entire squad.

That's when I noticed that this particular beast was made of mud.

I figure I'm content to let the thing sit where it is as long as it doesn't leave, which it does not seem inclined to do.
