I've had lord/lady consorts visiting before, but I just had the King Consort visit.

I feel honored.

I don't know what to say about this...

Equipped shields can withstand dragonfire, because Dwarven courage burns even hotter.

You mind me putting this in my signature?

Never, in over five years on this forum, have I ever seen anyone be offended by a sigging. Quite the opposite actually. Most people love it.

And this is the first time I've actually seen someone request to sig something.
I've seen sig requests lots of times in old threads, but never in the present time.

I like to use N to label each lever, so if I cannot remember I can just read the label.
Cavern bridge
Other cavern bridge
Cavern door (that is actually a bridge)
Trap out (now was the the part facing toward the surface or the fortress?)
North cavern block (that's south of the other three cavern doors above)
South cavern block (that's in cavern 3 whereas everything else is in cavern 1)

Using N is a great idea. Just make sure to actually label things half-decently...

Instead of labeling bridges, I like to make a rock mechanism at the same time as the bridge, and out of the same material, then make the lever from that mechanism.

Then they're color coded.  The rutile lever opens the rutile bridge, the granite lever opens the granite bridge, etc.  If I try to get fancier I always forget what my dumb labeling scheme means when I have to use it.

Axelords are popping up.

I also got the Planepacked fruit salad bug, 60 prepared meals worth about 80,000.

Well, it is a very small and uncomfortable bed.

So, found one of my older dwarffort saves in my google drive, decided to load it up. I must I was surprised at how much dog blood surounded the enterance of my fort,, that was until I checked the notes for it and found the minecart shot gun was being loaded only with dogs, bits of dog, and dog blood.

I am left questioning my past self's sanity.

This is new to me. Has anyone ever seen this before?

No, but if it is modded, that would explain it. Didn't know that could happen in fortress mode though. Did either party get a happy thought because of this?

No mods, and no thoughts. They're listed as having a master/apprentice relation rather than a teacher/student relation (I guess it's the same thing though).

The Professor is now regularly teaching topics to his new apprentice, and he gets proud thoughts for doing so. It doesn't seem that the student gets any thoughts for being taught new topics, however.

The professor actually has several apprentices in other locations, and one former apprentice. I've seen that happen before, I've just never seen two dwarves forming a master/apprentice relationship in fortress mode.


Edit: On another note, does anyone know how to recover items in a river? The river doesn't freeze as it's in a hot biome.

I saw it often in one of my old forts where half the fort was scholars in the four seperate libraries.

At the end of Bastiongate I had not one but three artifact gneiss beds. There was a lot of gneiss in that fortress.
