Move ALL of those gems and ores into the storage rooms on z -2. If there's any room left, stuff it with obsidian.

Wow, I was all set to order up some smelting operations and Jamini beat me to it.  Cool, saves me some time playing with code tags!  However, let's get the well dug out first, as having just an "okay" by our drink supplies makes me nervous.

Very well, if Rosa wants to bail out fortresses in trouble, so be it!  New standing order:

-If drinks run out in a different fortress, and we have at least 3 barrels of drinks, send one over to the thirsty dwarves in the other fortress.

"There," thought Cobbles as he signed the new standing order.  "That ought to keep Rosa happy, and hopefully we won't dehydrate ourselves before the well is set up.  Sometimes I swear, that woman will be the death of me."

(Sorry I don't post longer story-stuff, all my creative energy has been going into Tale of a Sensible Dwarf lately.)

Ok, good news that the drinks are back up to par.

Send those goods to the surface! (bins take priority)
Trade them for wood to make bins, beds, and barrels with! yar!

Tomorrow(today?) is going to be a busy day. My wife wants me with her and it'll be a day of a million errands, so I don't expect to do an update.

Jamani, you may not cross over to where the magma ducts are. The only thing you can do to gain the magma is to dig/carve fortifications/channel/ramp in the 1 space where there is a wall around the magma ducts in the 12/11/13 zone. You cannot build any structures in that area, and it cannot be considered part of your fortress. Your 12 long hallway goes 4 too far, since your "workable" area only goes out 8, with 9 only being possible if it is designed in some way to bring magma into your fortress.

To do your design, that hallway would only be allowed to go east 5. It would end up looking something like this:

code:

   L11           L12          L13
     O+O     ++O
     O+O     ++O
OOO  O+O     ++O    OOO        OOO
O>O  O+O     ++O   OO<OO>OO
O+OOOO+O     ++O  OOVVVO     OOPPPO
O<O>PPPO
OOO+OO+O     +++++++VVVO     OOPPPO
  O++++O     +++++++SSSO     OOPPPO
  O+OO+O     ++OOOO<S_SO>PPPO
  OOOO+O     ++O  OOSSSO     OOPPPO
     O+O     OOO   OOOOO      OOOOO

Just tell me to do it and it will be done, with the up/down in the upper portion done as cobbles sleeps and turning into only an up by the time he wakes.

(Edit 1: I have to go to baby classes today and tomorrow, so no real update until monday, just this question for Jamani.)

Hey im one of those forum dwellers that read everyday but rarly post but Damn, im so very impressed with this endevour. Ive just spent a couple of hours reading through all of this. Kogan im so impressed, not only with the effort you putting in, but the sheer genius of the idea!All you fortress Administrators too, you guys are doing fantasticly.

That Said, i would like to be mini-oinioned!

Working either for a fortress or as a member of the trade union defence force. a typical dwarf in many respects, what with his respect for finly crafted metal works or finely remove goblin scalps, umli can find no reason why the dwarven way is the best (only) way. Also a distinctive tract in this dwarf is his inability to be happy when things are fine, he needs struggle, life is his trial. more than once unli waits before calling for back up or deliberatly sides with the underdog.

[Jamini]

I misunderstood how that worked. That alteration of the plan is fine for me.

[Kogan Loloklam]

I know I haven't been posting updates, but my wife keeps saying "Oh, by the way, we have (insert class here) to attend today at 11 am to 5 pm.

Which just happens to be my dwarf fortress playing time!

By Friday the classes should finally end.

[Istrian]

Don't count on it finishing so soon. It is only the beginning

Good luck, you'll need it.  

[Istrian]

*bump*

Is this really dead ?

[Jamini]

I fear it may be. Sadly enough.

Now Rosa will never get her re... present done.
