I have an unmarried dwarf mom who's got no father listed for her son, and indeed no husband at all, living or dead.

Should I be on the lookout for a kid walking across the stream like it's nothing?
Maybe he is destined to bring the balance to the force

Frankly I'd loose my mind too if I found a river like that.

Technically, they are known as brooks.

Weasel corpse = instant legendary fighting skills. (Tried to reclaim a failed embark in evil biome, reclaim party got into fight with weasel corpse that did not finish for a month or more. When DF crashed, some dwarves had already reached legendary fighter and high master weapon skill.)

I've found out that the goblins arent using some of the weapons they could be, like giant axes, due to a bug.  I reduced the minsize of several 2h weapons from 62500 to 60000, the size of gobbos.  They are doing much better now . . .  Even keeping parity with their elven oppressors.

Seriously, for better goblins, give them the ability to use the very weapons they can make!

---

A side benefit is giving dwarves who are large enough the ability to use those weapons as well.

Apparently, Diagnostician trains insanely fast. I enabled the labor on my talented wound dresser/surgeon, and the guy went from no skill whatsoever to adept in one diagnosis operation.

And apparently, he's not done diagnosing the poor schmuck.

...It appeared to be a river which flowed down at both ends... With no source of all that water.

Brooks have a solid surface.
I don't know if this is a bug, but indeed you can walk over them without wetting your feet.

It wasn't a brook, it was a "sourceless" river that drained on embark but refilled in the two weeks+ between embarks/adventures. That river murdered everyone that tried to cross it because they got the bright idea to wade through the flow and off the waterfalls instead of crossing the bridge I had constructed the second "real" try. The idiots got themselves washed off the edge every time I tried to embark on it before I gave up. They certainly got their feet wet, in any case.

That's what I thought: Two waterfalls, no river source. Insanity causing.

That's a bug. A serious one. One that clutters up the medical history list like nothing else can. It basically causes some dwarves to never lose the "Diagnosis request" flag and they will be diagnosed for eternity. This does indeed train diagnosticians incredibly fast though.

The best way to demonstrate it to him is take a save of 40 year old fortress with 150 dwarves in it on a good sized embark with a volcano that just breached the circus and install it on his gaming rig and watch it bring his rig to its knees.

Its *yet another* bug with the healthcare, where the patient gets stuck in the diagnosis phase and will never get treated

So... apparently dumping vermin is now possible, somehow.

I designated goblin captives to be stripped with the usual d-b-d and then undumped the containing cages. Moments later I saw one dwarf carry a dot representing a vermin to the garbage dump; I looked and yes, there was aa {flying squirrel} in the dump tile. It's still running around with the {}-squigglies marking it as "forbidden" somehow.

I can't repeat whatever just happened but interesting nevertheless.
