Same as normal. Usually [d],[z] , or if you have built the stair yourself then [d],[n]

[59spore]

how do you remove and add skills? say for example youre building a trade depot but you cant because you dont have a dwarf with architecture. how do you make the dwarf learn architecture? help

[captnduck]

@59spore Or just watch video 07...........

[boobmikesmith]

Umm... Problem: When i try to place down the smooth designation it doesn't do anything even though i have a dwarf with the Stone Detailing skill. Any help?

[captnduck]

May that dwarf is doing something else? I think a dwarf will do the job he has the most skill in first. Try limiting his work to stone detailing only, or make more dwarves with the skill. My miners were all engravers for when they weren't digging something (not often)

[gnomishvideodevice]

I had a dwarf enter a strange mood, but he went insane and refused to claim a workshop....any idea why?

[captnduck]

You probably didnt have the workshop of the kind that he wanted. Probably something like clothier

As i was watching this video, my expedition leader (carpenter) went possessed and kept muttering Othesulleng, so i was like " WTF does he wants?" In your video, you said if he didnt get the items he wanted, he'd go nuts, so i though i was screwed. Finally, i understood he had gotten what he wanted and that he was working on it. I was really happy and i was expecting a extraordinary item, but turns out he mad a ashen barell.. ..:/

[Xtranormalstudio263]

@Xtranormalstudio263 ; After that, both my mason and my bone carver went possessed. My mason build a legendary...coffin, and my bone carver wanted blocks and shells. I didnt have shells and the eleven merchents had just left, so he went nuts and killed himself, so i burried him in the legendary coffin. Moral 1: having possessed dwarves is neither good nor bad. Moral 2: Shit happens. :/

[EnchantedKiller]

I have a possessed dwarf. How do i know wich workshop he wants? pls help cuz the last mad guy killed some dwarf D:

[Goombario37]

He named one of the soldiers Bomberman!? subscribed.

[thebigJ1er]

Man, I wish my game ran as fast as this. Even right at embark, I'm usually at around 45-50, and it drops from there.

@qaudforce

designate the stairs for remove construction: d -> n

[Ademys]

My mason/miner went insane because I did not have metal materials for him to build something. Not too bad I thought until I realised that he was wielding a iron pick that I had just bought from a caravan. He killed my militia commander, some farmers and a dog until he was shot to death by my archers. Before he died I checked him out. His back was broken from two parts and his legs were cut open but he still kept at his killing spree. Damn those insane guys are tough!

[l0rf]

I got a problem with my Expedition leader going into a posessed mood and I can't seem to make the dyes he demands or the animal skins any time soon. Lots of fun, but I would really not want to lose this guy.

[qaudforce]

i still don't know how to get rid of stairs in the latest DF

[woot835]

Question:

WTF to i do with the insane dwarfves?

they keep killing evrything that is small D:

[Shadowmov3r]

@boobmikesmith Oh, that's pretty common, most of the time the wrong thing is that you smooth the wrong material, remember, only stones and rocks can be smoothed, clay, sand etc. can't be smoothed out.
