You should give him 2 shields, that would be cool.

[BFEL]

lol if I can I will. But first I want to eventually deck him out in adamantine

15th Limestone, 107
I have gotten the fortress into mostly workable condition. However, there are issues that are...causing me DISTRESS. I ordered for the drawbridges and trade depot to be constructed MONTHS ago, but no one sees fit to build it because there are dacite stones in the way. Not only this, but apparently our haulers care more about cleaning EVERY OTHER ROOM IN THE FORT OF THE DAMNABLE THINGS, I have set about crafting them into trinkets to lower their number...but they continue to reproduce...I thought we would be able to proudly hawk our wares to the merchants this year BUT NO, NO ONE WANTS TO MOVE THE DAMN ROCK OUT OF THE WAY SO THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT OBJECTS IN THE FORT WILL BE COMPLETED. I was expecting this to be done, I even ordered the depot entrance smoothed over so we could make a good impression BUT NOW WE DO THINGS THE HARD WAY STONES. YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD TAKE ON BFEL AGKESKAL? WELL I'M THE ROCK DESECRATOR NOW!!!! AHAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

26 LimeSTONE!!!!!, 107
We continue to suffer a shortage of ANYONE DOING ANYTHING PRODUCTIVE. We are almost out of both food AND booze, and yet the butcher who I ordered to slaughter up some tasty meats insists that he has nothing to do...NOTHING TO DO BUT STARVE AND DIE YOU STUPID BASTARD. EVEN WORSE THOSE BLASPHEMOUS *ROCKS* ARE STILL CLOGGING OUR TRADE LANES. WE CANT BUY MORE BOOZE IF WE HAVE NO TRADE DEPOT ARGGGGGGGGG DAMN YOU ROCKS! I WILL KILL YOU AND I WILL KILL YOUR CHILDREN AND WEAR THEM UPON MYSELF HAHAHAHAHA FUCKING ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But seriously WTH? So far all the threats to the well being of the fort were ROCKS and ROCK related...FUCKIN ROCKS MAN...I cant believe ROCKS are kicking my ass...well ROCKS and messed up job priorities....and yes I dorfed myself as the wrong gender too...crap

[Talvieno]

@ What you started with... Yep, definitely newb. And you didn't even show what skills you gave everybody. lol    Oh well. (still, it actually wasn't too bad, in the scheme of things.) Want some pointers for your next fortress?

As to the aquifer, woot! Glad you managed to find a way past it - you're lucky. It's usually not so easy. I didn't realize you had multiple biomes on that map. (That, or you haven't started digging downwards. Which it looks like you haven't.)

Spoiler: Random Help, DO NOT READ if you don't want help (click to show/hide)

If you don't get some food and booze made quick (more especially booze, unless you really drained all the pools on the map), you're going to die... and this'll be a very early end to the fortress. I don't see that you made any underground farms... And you didn't bring any yaks... or anything useful to slaughter (dogs hardly provide any meat)... But you ought to have some plump helmet seeds...

Your "underground pools" are called "murky pools", if you didn't know. They're called so for a reason. Imagine slimy brown water. I can give you more help on that, but I'll hold off for now...

Greatly enjoying this so far. Reminds me of my early days... >.> I wish I could get those back, when the world was young and everything was a learning curve the size of a mountain to the stars...

A Diggeridoo does not simply remove a stone
Btw, are there plants in the outside? Because it seems that's all rocks...

[apiks]

Well I must say, this shall be amusing. I hope I don't destroy the fortress with my ambitions.

[BFEL]

ok question answering time! First off, to Tal, I'm pretty sure that there are multiple biomes...kinda...the only difference seems to be the aquifer is on one side but not on the other. And I have kind of started digging downwards, it started me on pretty much the peak of the volcano/mountain thing and I decided to dig my way into the side instead, for the stone....which hasnt worked out so good XD. I HAVE designated farms, and there was magically a breeding pair of water buffalo or something on the map to begin with so I designated them, as well as any tame donkeys or such that wandered into our territory. Also a bunch of the 10000 puppies that those dogs made already . I know that they dont provide much meat, but I figured with 1 male to 12 females the amount of breeding thats going on will provide quantity over quality. I also took into account that the dogs can be trained as war/hunting animals. The only reason I'm having food/booze problems right now is that ALL THE FOOD WORKERS ARE DOING SOMETHING ELSE...its odd I mean I even turned off all non-butcher jobs on my butcher and such and he STILL isnt slaying all those beasts....its weird...I'll try to get all this in a screenshot soon. Also there are plants on the map...quite alot in fact. I'm trying to think of ways to solve this crazyness with the food and trade depot and stuff....THEN I SHALL TAKE MY REVENGE UPON THE STONE!!!!

[TheKaspa]

What are they doing?

And what about dumping that bloody damned stone?

[BFEL]

well I havent played any more since the last update, figured I should space em out more to give people some reaction time before I update spam. XD most succession forts have issues with infrequent updates, I coulda blown through my turn yesterday...but then I wouldnt get to see everyones comments and suggestions on how to GET THIS ARMOK HATING ROCK OFF MY FUCKIN BRIDGE Also tryed setting it on "dump" but no one cared so apparently apart from making Battledigger open a magma vent to cleanse that area, I have no choice but to wait till EVERY OTHER STONE ON THE MAP IS STOCKPILED...

[Bobnova]

My advice:
Set small (~9 tile) stone stockpiles next to the workshops that need stone. Allow only stone you want (read: magma safe).
All other stone either leave it where it lies or send it to a "garbage dump". That's a single tile that can hold an infinite amount of stuff, search the wiki on it.

[TheKaspa]

Are any buildings under construction? Maybe that rock has been chosen for a workshops, but since you don't have finished the building it is impossible to move it.

[BFEL]

I dont think its either of those....although I may need to check the masons shop... but yeah the real problem isnt stockpiles bob, its that the map had like 200 rocks lying around on the surface, plus I havent even got all of em out of the other areas of the fort....I do think I have one solution though, im gonna prob have to make a temporary trade depot outside so that I can get some booze and food, and trade THESE DAMNED ROCKS out of here

[TheKaspa]

simply stop expanding stockpiles should work

Posting to watch.

are you using wheelbarrows? dwarves carry rocks very slow without them
