Dwarf Fortress Megathread! - Necro'd enough to count as a vampire

[?]

The goblin swordmaster was stabbing people and running from me, i threw a lot of crap but it disappeared for some reason, when the swordmaster stopped to try and kill a person that gave into pain, one of my soldiers tried to hit him, he got cut up a bit, but then I came behind the swordmaster and cut his right arm off, he dropped his precious sword and I stabbed him through the brain.

When you miss, it doesn't say anything and you stuff lands on the ground.

I got TONS of masterwork clothing that I promptly put on.
I also got a cool sword + shield

What's better, a masterwork iron sword or a normal silver sword?

Yes.

How do I get my blocks into bins as opposed to cluttering the mason's workshop? The bins get placed in the furniture stockpile, and I don't think anything is in them, but the workshop is still cluttered.

Triple Edit: I needed a Bar/Block pile... ha

Why are my animals starving to death? Do they eat separate types of food?

[Jacob/Lee]

Yes.

Silver is pretty heavy, it makes good warhammers.

I only use spears and axes. And occasionally rocks.

I only use swords in adventure mode, mostly swords with some spears and hammers mixed in for those tough bastards in fort mode.

Platinum makes godly warhammers, too bad you can only get them from artifacts.
