What? We don't know what you're talking about. Adamantine is a valuable asset for forts, and one can never have too much of it. Dorfs gotta dig it all out!

Yeah, adamantine. Sorry, I'm too used to calling it candy. Don't sell any of it. I know it makes for uber expensive serrated discs that fetch tons of money from the caravan, but there's a very limited supply of the stuff, and it takes quite a bit just to fully armor and equip a single dwarf. I usually don't manage to armor any more than one or two full squads.

...?  ??? Huh? We're just helping him out.

As to mods, I generally steer clear of the larger ones (irony: I'm making a larger one right now, on and off), but I've played a lot of smaller mods that people came out with. If you want some that are real game-changers, I'm afraid I haven't played any like that. If you want an epic challenge, you might try Mr Frog's seqiv. They're guaranteed to make you paranoid.

I wouldn't say to mine all of it. It's quite impractical to have the magma sea flood your mines, after all.

Bah, what's a few goblins? I personally mod in my own races just to make sieges more interesting.
    Still, gotta love gobbos on war grizzlies. Great Fun to be had there.

Hey hey hey. Everyone knows that when you dig all the candy, you just hit semi-molten rock. Thats not dagerous at all, just undiggable.

But yes, candy is really the games only limited mineral. Well, that and Flux. Everything else you can order from the cavern.

There's only one way to find out what will happen and you may have some "FUN" along the way.

Thanks guys for the tips.  I have dug out quite a bit of adamatine, I just haven't used any of it.

As for mods, I want the gameplay yo stay the same, because I love it, but I was just wondering it I should get some that add content or abilities and stuff.  I like the idea of my dwarves having magic, or my adventurer to be able to craft items.

I probably will poke around on the wiki and the draws and attempt to add an item or ore or something tonight just to start learning how to mod.

I turn off rust and attribute decay (the wiki also has them improving super fast, but I reset that back to the default value.)

I use Modest Mod too.  Very minor changes (I haven't tried 2.1 yet, I suspect he didn't suddenly decide to make Starcraft Fortress though)

Okay, I know this is a stupid question, but where can I see the name of my Fort?

Oh yeah, Smelting candy is a bit difficult, you have to extract raw strands at craftsdwarves shops, which take a long time for untrained dwarves. Then you have to smelt wafers FAST, before your idiot dwarves use them as thread. Then though, you can use candy for anything.

BTW, It helps to dig candy all the way down right off, the focus on extracting it. Also having alot of craftsshops for this purpose.
