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

[Captain Crazy]

The dead potter who was slain in the dining room is now a half-skeletonized corpse on the same tile he was a year ago. I've built him a coffin, but the dwarves seem to prefer the miasma to hauling a rotting dwarf into a casket. How do I take care of the corpse?

Edit: Even the game realizes that the potter is dead and the casket belongs to him. Is there something I need to do or are my dwarves just lazy?

Yeah, I have a corpse/refuse stockpile. The dwarves are perfectly capable of corpse hauling according to the "Set Orders" screen. I want him to have a proper burial before they have a bare skeleton.

[Captain Crazy]

Awhoops! Forgot to claim his body under the "look around" menu. Rest in peace, Kubuk Shistekkud.

I found some other continents on my world in adventure mode, but I have no way of getting to them.

[Captain Crazy]

For forgets sake, one of my miners is possessed. Does that mean he's gonna get his brain punched out too?


EDIT: looks like I don't need to make a coffin. I found him a few smoky quartz and he's going to town with them.

EDIT2: He made a door. might be good for the dining room or nobility's quarters.

[Doomonkey]

Lol, making a new character and one of the random last names was 'Cutnuts', he probably wasn't very manly.

I have a few questions.

How do you attack with your squads?

My dwarf is in a fey mood, what happens if i don't give him what he wants?

Dwarves in fey moods who don't get what they want go insane.

[Frontrox]

Okay, how do you dedicate dwarfs to the military?

He's at the mason workshop demanding yarn.
