I don't even know what the Waterworks are for. At first I thought to build a hospital, but then I realized we already had one. Then I thought I could use the water for some kind of moat in the Vault, but I never got that started. I guess you could use it for Obsidian farming, or setting up some Aussie Hell Checkers.

Say, next person should really finish the Fortifications around the perimeter wall. Don't want our precious few marksdwarves getting shot, after all. And our masons work fast. We have billions of tons of Microcline and Limestone for any construction, and there's almost as much Granite.

As I recall...

One of the original ideas about the building of Silvery sects stemmed from it being in the middle of a desert.
The idea was that, since it is the Dwarfish way to take an frozen Glacier and turn it into a tropical paradise...
SO too it was to turn a barren desert and turn it into a lush water logged jungle. I remember that one of the ideas was to have a small waterfall flowing over the main entrance to the city with grates and a drain, so Dwarves would be both cleaned, and get a happy thought as they entered or exited.

Pretty sure the water works was the start of getting huge amounts of water up onto the surface.

EDIT: Oh...

A while back someone said that we had been voted into the hall of Legends?
Not seen it in there unless I missed it...

The Waterworks is a bit far down to supply water to the surface, unless you build another pump stack.

Well that might have been it.
Either way whoever takes over next needs to get started on Watering up the desert barrens!

It has been added. My vote pushed it over the threshold on the 5th of July...

It's in the Active section of the Succession game section of the Hall of Legends.

What's the waiting list look like? First post shows only Orky and Reudh to go, not sure if anyone else signed up...

Anyways, I would like to put my name down for a turn, whenever it gets around to me. I've got an idea for how to write, since my dwarf was the voice of Noface this past year.

Just talked to Reudh and hes going to take over the next turn.
That means Orky is next then I go as "wrap up" of the original seven.

After that we will start going through the other players who have wanted a year in the current fort.

Having trouble getting it to work. I think it's the same issue as last time.

Do what I did..

Just download the newest version of DF and make a whole separate folder for it just for playing the game.

Just grab the latest version of the LNP so you can use Dwarf Therapist, too.
