Embarked without an axe...
« on: June 13, 2012, 05:25:49 pm »

Sooooo... it's been a while... had an urge and loaded up 0.31.25 cause that was the version I had on computer and got started. On the embark screen there was an error but assumed it was just general profile loading problems. Realising I had loads of points left, I dumped them into food and drink then embarked. Seemingly after cutting down 3 logs my wood cutter refused to cut down anymore trees... After an hour of planning designations for the design of my fort (before I even hit "unpause" XD) I realised I had forgot to get an axe... -.- Is there /anything/ I can do? Cause without wood, it's highly unlikely I am going to make it to even the first caravan...

Seriously, the game is trying to kill me hard enough without my own stupidity adding to problems... XD

Destroy three wooden buildings/wagon. Make a capenter shop, make a wooden axe.

This is a surprisingly common problem. Check your stocks first ("z"), maybe someone has an axe somewhere, sometimes migrants bring one. Then check whether you got a single wood left somewhere and make a wooden training axe. It works as well as a metal one. You can dismantle your wagon for 3 wood.
Getting 0.34.11 is recommended, it got tons of improvements (and new bugs). :)

Edit: Making it to the first caravan without wood is possible, you just miss out on some beds, but the dwarves happily sleep on the floor for a while.

They don't "happily" sleep without beds, but they make due. ;)

Kay, thanks for the help ;D I know I should really update but I'm just so used to this version (I say "used to", more like "less fumbling around in the dark than I would in the newer version" XD)
