Okay so my first fortress is pretty much done in I'm just wondering the exact method of starting over? Is there an abandond fortress option or do I just start a new world and the game will take care of the rest?

Hit space to pause, then escape to get the options menu. On it will be an option to abandon the fortress. It will take a bit to offload stuff, but then it will take you to the beginning menu, and you'll be able to start a new fortress.

strange thing.. the fortress is climbing out of teh mess it made for itself... lol population went from 19 - 6 - 11 - 17

Bizarre... I'm waiting for the end to come I just dont want to abandon the little guys.. I'll be with them to the end!

[HaunterV]

Damnit well now then it has finally happened.  I messed up with the floodgate and it flooded the whole thing.... The entire region... oh me.

It happens.  Be paranoid about dealing with water, or the whole world could be drowned.

[HaunterV]

yeah.. The map flooded so I aboandoned and after 4 attempts all of which ended in the game freezing I gave up the idea of trying to retake the fortress. (I hoped it dried out) Alas I have to move on. Now I'm on my second fort and I hope I worked out something funcional..

code:

##### #
#LL # #
#L  # # 
##F## ########
#            #
F            #
#            #
##############

F=Floodgate
L=Lever

its a rough approximation of what the chamber looks like Its basically an experiment in plumbing.

Use [code] tags to make sure the size of spaces are maintained.

:p  thanks.

Hopefully your picture is an over-simplified version of what you're really planning, because I think you're going to have issues trying to to mechanize the floodgate that blocks the way into the lever room.

Once the floodgate is put in, you can't get to the lever to connect it to the floodgate to open the open floodgate to connect it to the lever to open the floodgate... ad nauseum...

Are you trying to do farming ot keeping pesky invaders out?

[HaunterV]

ive yet to be invaded im on my third fort now.  

You were right I couldnt mechanize  so i built doors.... Sadly one of them was wooden and as I said i am now on my third fort lol.

[Soulwynd]

Don't waste your wood in anything you can build out of... anything else... Wood is precious =p

This is the easiest setting for farming, I think, not that it will do much else.

Keep the door to the lever locked until you need to use the lever (gremlins, tantrum, whatever) and lock the door to the farmplot before pulling the lever. I usually build a seed storage nearby and, well, my farms are a lot bigger than that.

Thank you that is most informative.
