''Dwarf Fortress'' is a constant work-in-progress, and is thus full of '''bugs'''. An official compilation of all bugs, and their development status, can be found on the [https://dwarffortressbugtracker.com Dwarf Fortress Bug Tracker Bug Tracker]. The search results in the bug tracker sometimes have an unintuitive sort order, so make sure to scroll to the bottom of the first page of results when searching for bugs. To comment on any bug, you can "Login anonymously" and add a note.

== Reporting new bugs ==
Please do '''not''' report new bugs here; to report a new bug, follow the [https://kitfoxgames.notion.site/How-to-Report-Bugs-in-Dwarf-Fortress-b5e2ca19dabe408897d1c2669599b7a2 How to Report Bugs in Dwarf Fortress] instructions. For any other discussion of new or existing bugs, visit the <code>#bug-discussion</code> channel on the [https://discord.com/invite/kitfoxgames Official Kitfox Discord].

When reporting a bug:
* Make a note of any mods you're using.  If you made the mod yourself, include the raws for any relevant objects.
* If the game is crashing or refusing to open, include any error message that appears, along with your computer specifications and operating system.
* If you have a save that reliably reproduces the bug, it may be helpful to upload the save to the [https://dffd.bay12games.com/category.php?id=20 DF File Depot - Bugged Saves] or another file hosting site.

== Major bugs with workarounds ==
{{catbox|Bugs}} This is a list of major bugs with workarounds that would be useful for most players to know. Bugs added to this list should: 1) impact most players in a significant way in the current version, and 2) have some workaround that is useful to share. Please link the source of any posted workarounds.

* {{bugl|0012008}} Currently, the only way to assign ammunition to a squad is to select the default "Archer" uniform when creating the squad.
* {{bugl|11985}} ('''Healthcare labors bug''')<span id="healthcare-labors-bug"/>: Dwarves assigned to doctoring occupations not performing doctor labors.
**Workaround: Make any change on the work details page, such as adding and removing a dwarf from a work detail. This will cause labors to be properly updated based on occupations. ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79J3X8ulER0&t=1765s source])
* {{bugl|349}}: [[Animal care]] labor does nothing.
**Workaround: Use DFHack's [https://docs.dfhack.org/en/0.47.04-r2/docs/Plugins.html#dwarfvet dwarfvet plugin]].
* {{bugl|1451}}: The equipment required for [[miner]]s, [[hunter]]s, and [[woodcutter]]s to do their job conflicts with military uniforms.
**Workaround: never assign these three labors to military dwarves.
* {{bugl|9653}}: Tavern keeper/performers repeatedly serve alcohol until patrons drink themselves to death
**Workaround: do not assign tavern keepers or performers, or do not place any alcohol within the tavern zone
* {{bugl|9004}}: Items in containers are "unavailable" while a dwarf is hauling another item to store in the container
** Workaround: new STORE_DIST_* settings in [[d_init.txt]] can tweak the behavior.
** Workaround: clever [[stockpile design]]s can reduce the impact
** Workaround: avoid using containers (use [[exploit|quantum stockpiles]], [[minecart]] stockpiles, or no stockpiles instead)
* : Game always starts in Graphics Mode.
** Workaround: change PRINT_MODE to 2D or SOFTWARE in [[init.txt]].
