Today, we learned that the Japanese concept of "lasagna" involves mashed potatoes, and that vofdcoke doesn't really work well with custard eclairs. A very, very "meh" combo. No synergy at all.
Well, let's look around while getting drunk enough to start. First thing I notice is fortifications. Second thing is...
"Still going strong." Those famosu last words embody this fortress, I should think.
Ugh. FOrtifications are going to slow tdown the magma pillar project. No, it needs a new name... Lemme djut take a swig while I think one up.
Opsidian Pillar Project. Nah, too tame.
the initials OP could be goin' somewhere...
OP MLG... Obsidian Pillar Magma Lava Gate. Sure.
Project OPMLG.
I swear some of these empty graves had people in them before. Or at lest they were claimed. Crpepy.
Whatevs, I reassigned them to get used.
HEY THAT ROOM ISN'T ON FIRE! Co cool.
but someone spilled "water" in one of the next room.s. In a line. With a dry spot. Either someone had a Collette moment, or someone was peeing water in the bone stockpile.
holy damn, we have a lot of seeds. Plenty of drink, but not a lot of food. Hmm...
Well, not drunk yet, guess I need to pass the time while getting drunkedr somehow. *watches the Teen Titans reboot*
Well, that was weird. As expected. I like how Starfire's idea of making clothing involes baking milk and stapling turkeys and it still works.
On the other hand, I'm plastered enough that reaching the friedge to reclaim my coke is an ordeal (which took two tries), so I guess I'm good to start. Time to look at... the bowels of hell.
The adamantine pillar reached all the way up to the caverns? Which happen to contain a lake? Wow, that's pretty evil. Still, the mark of a genius is to be able to turn a ... bad thing into an opportunity. I'm sorry, my ability to awax philosphical wanes a bit when I'm drunk.
RRRRgh... we have too many people who are not mining things.
NNNNNNgh! I want to just say screw the fortifications and the walls but I don't know if that will leave us open ito invasion or something. Plus someone probably spent like ... uh, 4 minutes? Designating all those fortifications. Ah, fuck it. Screw the fortifications, screw the walls, I have big dreams.
of course everyone who was constructing buildings is now still not mining. Fuck.
Okay, mental note: the little tiles of bloody mist outside the fortess are just falling leaves. Nice touch, toady. SCARY AS FUCK THOUGH
Maybe when we're done placing stuff in tombs we can go dig.
It's winter! Maybe I'll go until... I dunno, summer? get a migrant wave maybe? I really want to get this magma water dump pillar thing set up, but with so few dorfs that might not be practical. Booooo.
Huh, our food industry seems to be doing okay on its own. I guess it was Scruffy that set that up>? FIIK
Go whoever. Good job.
HOLY SHIT THERE'S DORF TRADRS! And they're actually staying in the... depot...
did you trap them in there? Actually I think I remember reading that... Well, cool. Free stuff.
zinc pipe sections. Make 'em. THey're important cuz reasons.
What do you mean you need 3 zinc bars. We have lots. Theyr'e right there. I can see them. Fuck.
stocks says we have 42! godddaaaaaaaamn
Naryar is currently trying ato attend a meeting with Lord Tacos, who is stumpbling around obliousviously very fast. It's funny to watch but Ialso I wish they would hurry up and do things.
Now Tacos is conducting a meeting with nobody because Naryar is alspeep. The very image of middle management, these two are.
Mr. Tacos, why would you go clean instead of mining my improtatnt things.
Wait, all you people "storing item in stockpile" ARE CARRYING ROCKS?!? WHO EVEN MAKES ROCK STOCKPILES THEYRE ARE ROCKS EVERY DGOODAMMN PLACE ANYWAY FUCK
disable all the haul rock labours! By hand! Fuck!
SHUT THE HELL UP NARYAR YOUR TANTRUM IS NOT NEARLY AS... FUCK! AS PALPABLE AS MINE
(did I spell palbaple right? whoa)
I kinda understand mr tacos frustration and tantrums. I'd be pretty weirded out by having three corpses in my bedroom too.
the rest of you have no excuse
Gah. =*ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL*=
=- SHORUKE THE VODCOKER YOU ARE NOW A MINER AND ONLY A MINER*=
I did it! I made somebody start mining!
It took three tries to make myself mine things inside instead of that trnech outside, but still
apparently there's a spot just north of my ass-office that we haven't explored yet. Whoa.
I had to cancel so many mining projects it's not even funny. There was one to go grab srcuffy's legendary corpse from the caverns, one to tdig to the water tunnel(?), and some stuff that might be a grave in the fortress, and some extra... i dunno staircases or whatever. And now my only miner is on break. Well, he isn't the only miner, he's just the only guy that mines.
wot
I specifically remember seeing you in one of the other posts. Weren't you put to rest already
Oh wiat, I get it, we sent him to hell and then opened it back up again. BURRRRN
(I'm sorry, just jokes)
holy shit, we have a military? EVERYONE GET THEAT KEA HE STOLE A SHIELD
do Keas seriously just fly straight through teh front door, scare everyone away and steal shit? Lame.
They're birds! (quick google search)
okay admittedly those are some scary-lookin' beaks
but I figure I could beat one in a fight
What the... I thought Dwarven Children would just fuck around foreevr, but this one is helping load stone dtraps and haul shit. Bug? Glitch? Awesome child-raising? Whatever, I'll take it.
Fun fact: the tielset fuckery has made prickle berries look exactly like puke.
Someone please tell me why a Dwarf would go all the way to a rock stockpile to reload a rock trap which has a rock on it.
*relaziation: because dorfs are drunk and stupid*
I don't know how to make a short gif while drunk, but If I could I'd make a gif of yoink haunting this tree. It's hilariously appropriate.
HOW DOES SOMEONE WHO HAS NO HAULING OFR FARMING LABOURS ACTIVE
DECIDE TO NOT MINE THE NEXT TILE
BUT INSTEAD GO HARVEST PLANTS
HOW
JUST HOW
fuuuuuuck. Well, I dug out THREE FUCKING TILES, so that's something.
It's spring! Total numbers of tiles dug: about 10. I'm working on it.
Ohwait, there were all those digging projects I partly-cancelled. SO more like 20.
Argh! Foiled.
BUT I SHALL NOT GIVE UP
...Grr.
Well, there is that other candy spire.. I'll just dig across to that :3
Okay, so>. I went to go dig out some walls or whatever. Got close enough to the second candy spire to see the candy spire, the part theat we hadn't rediscovered yet. Went all like, "oh look, candy! Time to go cancel my dig job and harvest plants." WHYYYYYY
"a elven"
Cmon toady, even I sometimes have better spelling than that and i"m drunk
I wonder if that elf is staying at the edge of the map because he can't find the one accessible tdepot... or because he knows I'm going to rob him blind
Mental note: disabling all hauling jobs does not prevent dorfs from hauling. My avatar has hauled rocks, mechanisms, and now prickle berries since I've shut off all his jobs other than mining, health care, lever operation, and pump operation.
Elf "caravan" is still just standing there. Dunno what the fuck.
Gah. The logistics here are super hard. The one path where I can see into hell is flooded and unusable. I can see three other spires, I guess, but I don't know how well I'll be able to use them to access hell without dying, or how to link them up so that the magma and water get dumped in the same place.
oh wait, I know, I'll just pump some magam up so I can solidify the water...
I seem to have a drinking problem. I'm so drunk that I choke when I try to drink. That's a problem.
NOOOOOOO
I needed those slaves
I should probably make a equipment stockpile or something. Keas keep stealing the metal gear. shields and stuff. fuckers.
WHY WOULD A 1-FOOT TALL BIRD WANT A SHIELD ANYWAY
The Dorfs suck at following mining instructions, but at least they can make coffins when I tell 'em to. Go figgur.
Who desided to make a zinc road when all our zinc bars are way at the bottom of the world? Sheesh.
It's summer. So after... uhhh.. 7 months I'd probably be justified ending my turn right?
TOO BAD I HAVE A GOAL
So help me ceiling cat, I will make SOME progress towards this awesome obsidian spire.
These dorfs in the depot are taking an awful long time to go insane. I wonder why.
You d not matter. Go away.
No migrants. Again. FFFFFFFFFFFFF~
FUCK.*sigh*
Well, I dug out some 50 tiles that might help make it easier to flood hell with magma someday, I brought up all the zinc for that stupid road, and I got a pipe down to where the dorfs should eventually put the screw pump. I got *something* done.44
btw a while ago at the start of my turn I told the dorfs to dump a bunch of corpses into a garbage dump i put in a side room. Nobody is doing that. So everyone is too busy being horrified to get things done. Garrrrrr.
HEY CHECK IT OUT someone finished up that screwy pump. Finally, a single shred of progress. It only took ...uh. 12 -3 -1... 8 months, but I made a single shred of progress towards my goal! Yesss!
Whoa, how much vodka did I put in that plast fodcoke? I'm onto my fifth one btw. Or sixth. I lost count. again.
and each of them are triples or something. Not that I really measure.
I am so unnecessarily proud of myself right now. I reclaimed the chute to hell.
OKAY NEOW WE JUST NEED TO... uhm
1) set up a safe way to contrl the water into the chute
2) set up a safe way to control magma cgoing into the chute
3) carefully label all the levers so that nobody fucks it up when we alternate dumping magma and water into hell
can't be too hard
Oh also, stopping the water flow caused a FPS increase. Yay.
Hmph. I sure wish that, when you get a small window to fivew hell from, you could see up at the rock. Then I would know where to dig to...
Okay, so... maybe there's a rock-only path down to hell that I can use. And if I can control the flow of magma and water to the chokepoint, then I can do the project... right?
Also I'm gonna need some magma-safe stuff. floodates and mechanisms. Hmm. I guess I could make them out of candy since we have no magma safe rocks.
which means I need to go over to one
th of the other matgam pillar.s I mean candy pillars.
Well it's not hard to get to #2...
No migrants. Third dtime in a row. Fuck.
ALL OF MY "FUCK".
HEY SINCE WHEN IS IT AUTUMN
moreover since when is it mid-autumn
Ugh. Tunnelling around the molten rock is fruitless. I guess the adamant chutes are the only way. I wonder If I can link them up on the last z-level before hell... But I'm going to run out of time first.
So I sealed up that breach into hell. Might give us a chenace to build a... thingy to put magma and water and stuff in almost the same place alnd alternate dumping shcemes.
I'll finish up this month (late autumn), and pass off the save for the satra START of winter. My only regret is that the ountain home didn't send us the lemming dorfs I wanted.
I got done what I could with what I had, and it counts as progress.
P.S. did someone change how dumping items works? Because nobody is dumping the corpses.
Okay it's winter. Still got 13 dorfs or something. SOme of them are even productive!
