Description
I built an excellent fortress in a Sinister region. I wanted something tougher. Unfortunately, my world didn't have a Terrifying region, so I had to create a new one.

Created it, embarked.

The dwarves are just standing there doing nothing; the wagon is missing. They are ignoring work and ignoring commands (I even tried grouping them into a squad). They ended up dying of thirst.

After the reclaim, the next embark behaved the same way.

Decided to report a bug.

Visited tread "The New Bug Tracker": https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/1skgi7k/the_new_bug_tracker/
I went to kitfoxgames' comment to check the instructions on where to submit a report: https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/1skgi7k/comment/ofzcpne/

Followed the link in the comment: https://www.notion.so/kitfoxgames/How-to-Report-Bugs-in-Dwarf-Fortress-Updated-Nov-2023-b5e2ca19dabe408897d1c2669599b7a2

I got the "Your browser is not compatible with Notion" message. A very useful site; I hope it ceases to exist as soon as possible ?

So, I’ll describe the bug in this post: after embarking, the dwarves just stand there doing nothing, and the wagon is missing. They ignore work and ignore commands (I even tried organizing them into a squad). They ended up dying of thirst.

After the Reclaim, the next embark behaved the same way. I am attaching the save file.

P.S. Stop collaborating with Notion and fix your bug reporting system.
