Thing one. I'm so going to forget to leave notes. Remind me them when it's me their turn for the fortress.

Thing two. Is there a due date to finish our rotation?

Can do, and there no real due date, but it would be nice if you could finish within a few days, but it's not requires. If your on your rotation for a significant time, we will just skip you.

[sentenil5]

First thanks for adding me  ,  Second were will we upload and download the world d.f.f.d. ?

as soon as movie finishes his rotation, we will set up a way to exchange the map. it will probably be through email.

Overseers journal, Spring of 251:

1st of Granite, 251

We have yet to strike the earth, and I can already spot a variety of interesting
stones in the southern hill side, and I can spot numerous veins of bituminous coal, as well as
some brilliant blue cobalite. In all my years I've never encountered cobalite before
and I'm un-sure wether or not it's a rock or a gem. In either case, I hope this stone is as
useful as it is beautiful.

The southern hillside seems like a perfect location to carve our base into, however
I think I may dig a temporary shelter closer to the wagon, in order to keep our goods secure.
I'll have to sleep on this decision, so it looks like it's yet another restless
night of sleeping in the wagon for me.


10th of Granite, 251

We have successfully carved out a temporary cave, and we will soon have room that with serve
as a meeting hall and sleeping quarters, and we will also have a carpenters workshop, as well as a room for
a still. We still don't have any beds set up, so it looks like I'll be
sleeping on the sandy cave floor tonight. At least it's an improvement from
sleeping in the wagon.




15th of Granite, 251

The carpenters workshop has finally been built up, and what's better is
that we have a surplus of freshly caught river salmon. The nearby river is
absolutely teeming with fish, and our fisherdwarf can catch fish and haul
them to our storage cave with suprizing efficiency due to the fact that
the shelter's so close to the river.


25th of Granite, 251

I've instructed my miners to carve out the entrance hall.
I have also included a large room near the entrance, which will hopefully
become the barracks some day, and I have also left room near the entrance
for a trading post.




12th of Slate, 251

I can't believe it's been over a month already, living in this god-forsaken sandbox that
other dwarves call a shelter is really starting to get to me, but at least the carpenter
has finally gotten around to making beds so I'll hopefully be able to get a
good nights sleep soon. On the bright side the, fields for the farm have been flooded,
so we will be able to start growing some delicious plump helmets as soon as the water
evaporates, not that were
going to need it anytime in the forseeable future because we have more than enough
salmon in the storeroom.




14th of Slate, 251

Okay it officially fucking reeks of dead fish in the storeroom. Luckly
the fishery has finally been set up, and we can be able to cook that moutain of
rotting fish lying around in the storeroom. I've also installed a door at the
entrance to the storeroom, and I've bolted the fucking doggy door shut, so that ought to
keep the fucking cats out. I have also noticed that the sheet of water in our farm area
is starting to evaporate, and I'd wager that our farm will be operational within the week.


16th of Slate, 251

I woke up this morning for the first time in a month without any sand in my ass,
nose, eyes, or ears because I actually slept in a genuine bed last night... *sighs*
god I miss the moutainhomes.


20th of Slate, 251

The farm is finally up and running. Seeing this farm "come to life"
has given me a brilliant idea. I have drawn up plans to utilize all of the
small ponds in the area for the purpose of watering our crops, not that I can
concieve of us ever consuming that much food. In anycase, the permanent base
will be just below this existing shelter, which will still be used for farming once
the lower lever is complete. In other news, the entrance to our permanent fort
has been dug out, and that just means that we're one step closer to moving out of this
sandy hell hole. Lastly, I've ordered that the stairs leading to the shelter
be deconstructed and the shelter be connected to the main entrance only. This way,
the main entrance will be the only way in and out of the shelter. I have done
this because the main entrance will be much easier to defend.




23rd of slate, 251

I'm starting to get annoyed at the fact that no one seems to count the amount
of food and drinks we have in our stockpile, so I have promoted one of our dwarves
to bookkeeper but he refuses to work until he gets an office. I can understand why,
but it still frustrates me, none the less.


28th of Slate, 251

We have set up a temporary dormatory now and we have 7 dwarves sharing 9 beds.
In other words, no one has to wake up with an ass full of sand ever again.
This may be my last journal entry for a while, because it looks like everything
is stable right now, and all that remains to be done for now is carve out our
permant base, and make a temporary office for our new book keeper.


20th of Felsite, 251

Holy crap! We are completely out of wood. I asked our carpenter why and
he responded that I told him to stop cutting down trees on the 3rd of Slate. *facepalm*
I cannot believe that all he's been doing for the past few weeks is nothing.
Honestly, if he weren't the only tree cutter we had, I would have had him chopped up
into pieces by the butcher and thrown into the river to be used as chum!

[Movie]

I am almost done with my turn, I should have summer uploaded later this afternoon and fall and winter will be in the same update later tonight.

[KnightMustard]

Wow. This style is really interesting. I don't really think the crutches, splints, and buckets are necessary at embark and just take up points and just training dogs to wardogs is fine in most situations but whatever. By the time it is my rotation it won't affect me.

[Movie]

i agree that the splints and crutches are unnecessary, but i always like to bring at least one bucket with me.

[zomara0292]

Care to dwarf me as the first hunter or ranger immigrant you get? Male, preferred jobs are hunter, animal training, and trapper. Preffered name is Athra. if its not too much to ask.

Overseers journal, Summer of 251:


1st of Hematite, 251

Its the first day of summer and we have erected a still. When I gave the order
to the dwarf he litterally dropped what he was currently doing and bolted to
the work site. I have never seen a building go up so quickly.


5th of Hematite, 251

Dammit all! I just found out that we have no empty food containters in which to store ale, so
the still we just built is useless until we construct more barrels.
Luckily we aren't short of drink so it shouldn't be a problem yet


7th of Hematite, 251

I fear we may have been over fishing this last spring, as the fish still haven't come back
this season. In light of this situation, I have ordered the dwarves to construct a
butchers shop and designated the water buffalo to be slaughtered.
So, it looks like our dwarves don't need to survive solely on a diet of plump helmet spawns,
or at least for now.


11th of Hematite, 251

The puppy we brought along with us is now a full grown dog,
but there's not much else in terms of news today.


19th of Hematite, 251

We can finally start building our permanent fortress. I have spent a good portion
of the day drawing up plans useing the awesome power of MS paint. I know I won't
have enough time to finish digging all of this out.
In order to build a proper home, I have ordered the miners to strike the earth!


2nd of Malachite, 251

A migrant couple has arrived; we have enough food, drink, and beds to sustain two
more dwarves so I welcome Bembul Oltarstettad, and his wife Inod to Flagfire with open arms.
My only concern is that they make it across the river safely.
In other news, the book keeper's office went up today, so Flagfire now has an
offical book keeper!


3rd of Malachite, 251

After talking to Bembul and Inod, I discoved that Bembul boasts to be a talented
mason and engraver, and his wife is an animal caretaker/trainer. I'm glad to know
that i can use these immigrants for a purpose other than having them move stone out
of the fortress all day.


6th of Malachite, 251

Apparently, a kitten has been trapped in the butchers shop, and whats worse is that our
butcher isnt exactly clean when working, and that kitten has been breathing miasma for
quite a while now... poor little thing.


11th of Malachite, 251

We're completely out of empty barrels... again.
What's even more horrible is that
the donkey we brought with us starved to death today. It's been hanging around
the dining area forever and no one has bothered to feed it. That's two animals that
have been horribly neglected within a week.


20th of Malachite, 251

Apparently theres loads of bituminous coal in the fortress, and it makes me somewhat uneasy knowing
that we will be living in a coal mine.
In other news, there are flies everywhere in the shelter and it's really pissing me off.


8th of Galena, 251

The flies are really starting to become a problem. They are buzzing around the meat
in the store room and theres no barrels to put the meat in so the flies don't get to
it. If we don't store the meat or cook it soon, it will be rotting and festering with
maggots. I have instructed our carpenter to make more barrels, but we are low on
wood and we can only make a few, so I dont know if we will have enough to store all
the meat.


16th of Galena, 251

The meat is still lying around in piles on the storeroom floor and the flies are
stuck to it like stink on shit. If this problem presists, I will have to dump the
meat to prevent disease.
On the bright sidem the fortress is coming along nicely and we have about 8 bedrooms and
part of the workshop area has been finished.


18th of Galena, 251

Holy shit, these dwarves are insane. One of the dwarves picked up a raw drum stick
swarming with flies, and probally maggots, and ate it raw!


21st of Galena, 251

Hallelujah, the flies are gone! and the majority of the meat has been put into barrels.
Whats better is that the meat is still usable the maggot content is well under acceptable limits, well for dwarves that is.
If a weak stomached human were to ingest this meat he would probably contract botulism and die from it.


27th of Galena, 251

Our cat has given birth to kittens. It seems like all the cats do in this fort, aside from
kill roaches is eat, sleep, fuck, and give birth to inordinate amounts of kittens.
I'm going to do my part to help control the pet population by butchering some of the
cats in the fort. Specfically the mother and father cats, those kittens will have to
grow up as orphans. MUAHAHAHAHA!

*Note i do infact have screen shots, but i'm short on time so i will upload them as an edit to this post later

Use rock to make Pots in a craftsdwarf's workshop. They can be used to hold food and booze.
Animals will starve unless you set up a pasture on the grass outside for them to hang out in.
You might want to make a garbage dump zone on the surface near your entrance to dump rotten stuff in, and stones you want to clear out of rooms. Make a refuse stockpile for all the rats your cats kill if you haven't done so already.

so that's why my animals were dying, lol
And thanks for the suggestion i never knew pots could be used for food storage, and i alredy have a garbage dump and a refuse pile thanks though 

[MantisMan]

Great. Honestly, I kind of want to use the surface garbage zone as a quantum stockpile for a certain above-ground project I have in mind.

Out of curiosity, how do you have the labour divided to the dwarves?

I dwarfed you, your a marksdwarf and the militia commander.

it varies i constantly change up the labors with dwarf therapist, but for the most part if a dwarf has no skills i can use i give them stone hauling duties.

[melkor]

so hows the fort doing i am agitated to start my turn
