Odd, I've had migrants hang out outside my glacier fort for months, they died of thirst not cold.  I think temperature was on.  Still, depending on world-gen I imagine a place could get *very* cold.

Try turning temperature off, that may allow you to get the dwarves inside, then you can turn it on again if you like.  Dwarves indoors don't suffer from cold that I know of.

Way I understood him, his dwarves froze despite getting indoors. Regardless, turning temperature off is probably the only thing he can do, as you've said.

no that's it

They WERE UNDERGROUND.

I even had them moving the stuff UNDERGOUND really fast. (literally, waves. collect 8 stacks of food, come back, wait for a while, go back, get more, etc.etc.

refuse RIGHT outside. It was impossible for anybody to be outside for longer than a few moments. And they survived for a GOOD LONG time (they just never seemed to warm up I guess >_>;)

does this rule even apply if you dig INTO the ice?

How can I muddy up some floor for an underground farm in this version? Does it have to be as complicated as opening up the ceiling above it, dumping water on it as a pond, and then flooring it back up?

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Military dwarves can teach other military dwarves military skills now.

Once you have a squad created you hit 's' then issue orders as specified.  When they're not active they revert to their civilian roles.

Does anyone know how I assign things to the hospital? I can hit the Capital H button when in the hospital zone but I have no idea what it means. I know its not the 'assign resources' screen, because I do NOT have most of those resources.

They seem to gather the resources automatically and store them in any chests or whatever you've built in the hospital zone.
