This was strange enough to slap it together in paint.

Afterwards he started haunting the food stockpiles.

He had food all around him. I think he was even sitting on some food...

This is easily averted if:
> You've got dwarves who have the labor of giving food/water in health care on, and are not doing ANY OTHER LABOR at the moment.

Poor guy :/

I had a tantrum spiral going on because of that berserk farmer so I guess no dwarf was interested in the miner.

Without a craftsdwarf to engrave a slab the ghost of that miner started battering every dwarf in the corridors, furthering the spiral and driving me insane.

An engraving of a dead dwarf murdered by a beserk woodcutter was called "the sick stunt"

To expand on this, I'm hoping someone can explain to me why my babies appear to be coated in axel grease...

Using a river as one of the 'walls' to my fort...

In a freezing water biome.

All I can think of is when I saw a weapons bin on my Mace dwarfs bed. Red flag anyone?

Nope. I had an issue with items not being put into the main stockpile and just being left wherever. Fixed it by making new ones exclusively for those items.

That's what designations at the stocks screen was for! :D

(Course, that led to other unfortunate consequences worthy of facepalming too....)

i wanted to have the only entrance to my fort be a drawbridge, but the miners didn't get around to removing the last two slopes.
and then a goblin seige showed up, slaughtered my livestock, took out several hunters and wiped out three quarters of my military before retreating. they also killed a baby

also, my civ is called the staff of wood, and the fort is fondleglove. hurray for random generaters

Now all you need is for the local government to be called "the Purveyors of Love"

Trying to expand stagnant pools and use floodgates to fill my moat (besides pumps, all I know how to do. I also don't know how to use pumps), which required channeling out a small area in the middle, which required building a small bridge
Thought the quicker way to get rid of it was to remove the edges, which dropped the floors through the lake, through my ore stockpile, showering the dwarves in the dining hall with boiling magma (wood + water + gravity = magma), hematite, dust and water

Now there's a corpse sitting on a table, I should just stick an apple in it's mouth and call it dinner
