Happens to the best of us.  I just hate having 4 legendary bonecarvers.

your lucky you don't have my good fort, like 16 legendary woodcrafters, stonecrafters, and bone carvers, AND I STILL HAVE TOO MUCH BONE!

Embarked on freezing biome. The glacier never thawed naturally, so I set up a system to melt the ice with magma and direct the melted ice to the well, via waterfall.

Except I crossed the magma lines and the melt lines. And didn't use magma-safe materials on what should have been the water side of the line. And put all the levers to the magma supply in a little closet behind the well room, which is now full of magma.

Also: Mass construction?!?

TBH, I think that all dwarf fortress problem solving falls either on the "Rube Goldberg" method, or the "pharaonic" one.

A peasant was hauling a cage with maybe 70 or so cats and kittens with a odd other animal in it, when he decided to throw a tantrum and break the closest thing - which happend to be the cage instatly releasing all the cats and kittens that adopted passing dwarves  >:(

Should have tossed the cage down the nearest chasm, or better yet, feed them to the carp. Also, lol! :)

i guess everyone has very fancy beds then, eh?

my biggest facepalm moment was when i tunneled beneath an aquifer by digging near a magma tube, and build my fort beneath the safty of the ground.  long story short, i later tried to expand my enterence by using the cave-in method to create a larger opening in the aquifer.  miscalculated.  sealed my entire fort beneath the water table.

oops.

honestly they were self sustaining and i COULD have dug around the problem through another part of the obsidian/magma tube, but it was definitly a forehead slapping moment.

Carpenters make beds

Woodcrafters make wood crafts.

And cups.

And wood arrows.

And that's it.

ah, elves.  i miss the named trees from the forrest retreats in the old version.  i hope they are back in a new version.  i liked lighting them on fire.

it would be fun to embark on a forrest retreat and make everyone's bed out of a named tree.  make some nice idols out of them to trade back to the elves.  or maybe just some spikes.

Forest retreats still have named trees, I think.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.
