I'm pretty sure that's what happens when a child is taken, but the goblin hasn't left the map yet, but I can't tell you for sure.

Sounds just like the floating/flying creature bug, but you haven't mentioned the child on a light blue background. Is that what is on the square?

I checked all the levels above the square, but nothing. it was just reguler felsite ground.

I'm pretty sure that's what happens when a child is taken, but the goblin hasn't left the map yet, but I can't tell you for sure.

i'm going to check real fast if i have any goblin thieves in a cage. however, when i zoom to the child, its very far away from the entrance to the fort.

EDIT: I have two thiefs, but there inside my fortress, waiting to have all there stuff removed for live training for military. I also checked the bags they're caring, nothing in them

Then this should go on the bug tracker with a save.

In my experience this is what happens with every snatched child.  I've always assumed that the empty square is simply the last known location of the child before he or she was stolen.

Perhaps. It should be put on the bug tracker either way, since that will allow people to look it up and ascertain if it is the expected behavior.

Couldn't hurt.  At the least there should eventually be some indication as to what actually happened in the user interface.

I've made a personal bedroom for every dwarf but they still sleep in free rooms. Why is that? (I want to keep free bedroom for migrants)

Dwarfs work themselves too hard now, and then collapse in the nearest bed.

I deconstructed my trade depot just before the Elves were leaving, and it made them leave without bringing any of their stuff. I'm not sure whether or not they think I took it all or if they're just oblivious to them leaving their collective wealth at my front door. Is this a bug or simply morally justified?

It's a bug that you can make them lose their stuff by deconstructing. They probably won't siege, but they'll get really mad and try to sell you a bunch of animals and seeds next time they come. Obscenely expensive cloth is only for their good customers.

There is a caravan arrived. And all the goods I have are in bins, so I can only trade the whole bin. How do I put things out of a bin?

oops already managed with it

will digging into the magma sea or a pool "discover" it? I'm trying to find the top of this thing, and it's getting annoying what with the cavern around my area.  I'm considering just digging into the bottom so I can see the whole thing and then walling it off.

I need to know what colour the blood/ichor of a fire demon is. It's for an illustration I'm doing. Thanks!
