Playing in adventure mode while testing out an adventurer reactions mod.  I get ambushed my a grass assassin, a large modded preying mantis like critter.

I fight the beast and finally kill it.  Then on the last strike I realized why it was taking so long to kill.  I wasn't using my sword, I was using a +schist carving knife+.

Facepalm

Designating a corridor be dug and not paying any attention. (luckily) my legendary miner got to it first and I found that one of my adamantine strands is solid for at least 9 z levels.

Where can I find this graphics set?

I think that's just with TrueType turned on.

Can't be. The tiles in the border don't exist in the default tiles.

I recently lost 8 dwarves to thirst. It was the middle of winter and the lakes were frozen. I couldn't make any booze because all of the barrels were filled with food.

Every time I made one the idiots would immediately grab it and fill it with food.

I had to dig down to the caverns to get them water.

A Goblin ambush just arrived, minutes after a previous one. Most of my surviving military is in hospital, so I decided I'd just have to lock the doors and wait it out, sacrificing the lives of the dwarves still outside, if need be. I managed to lock one, but, to my sheer amazement, A dwarf then opened the other and just... stood there. He wanted to see the goblins apparently, and he got his wish. Now the door is jammed with his corpse and the goblins are flooding in.

Round two of my water provision adventures. I had made an exploratory shaft to see how many layers of sand before I got to rock, then started digging out a basic room. Then remembered that I wanted a channel across my entrance and in so I could put my well there.

Placed my channel designation OVER the down stair.

I now have a large room full of water. Praise the miners!

However, my non DF playing little sister suggested a aquatic rehab, so hey! Not a complete loss. Just have to get my beds made and gather food so I can work on pumps and stuff.

Oh, crap. FP part two. That save got trashed when I was fixing my busted raws.

and accidentally breaking into an ocean through the bottem of my fort thinking i could handle the insane water pressure, 54 dwarfs, drowned almost instantly, and another 20 starved to death from being locked in they're rooms because the water was outside their door.

For future reference: create a separate stockpile just for booze, and set the level of "barrels permitted" in the other food stockpiles to zero.

Everytime I try to customize stockpiles, the dwarves won't put anything into them.

I embarked on a map which I assumed must be frozen all year round. I based this assumption on basically nothing. Then I began digging into the frozen underground river to harvest ice blocks. You all know what happened next. That fort didn't last long.

I dug into the ocean and forgot to seal it off. My fort encountered lots of Fun!

And that is why you should have two or even three lines of doors at regular intervals.

My best soilder just decided to fight the goblins while standing on the only bridge over the water. By now I would actually have been surprised if he did not. As normal he soon dodged into the water. For once I decided to actually try a rescue since there was only 5 soil tiles between my storage area and the soilder. The miners for some reason decided to priorities the rescue and the dwarf got out of the river with just a scare. all is good so far.

but now all my dwarves rush in to the slowly flooding storage area to put the booze the water is pushing around back into the storage area. *facepalm*
and the dwarf building the wall insist on working from the left side where he walls himself in if he succed (*facepalm*), but its never bellow 3/7 so he is always pushed away and I can't do the suspend trick *facepalm*

If that kid reaches adulthood, train him into a supersoldier. He's got potential. Too much potential to be lost in a flooding accident.
