Year 126, Week 6 (Midpring, The Oak)
Oku Ura is waxing
Aveanaye is empty

Oh come on! Why'd your miner have to go on break just now?! And the dwarves are going to eat before the dining room is completed, it seems. Some are feeding the animals, at least.

Your mason produces five granite tables, and your carpenter five hollow birch chairs. The smith refines two more units of coal. The farmer gets 3 more garlicnut and crow berries.

The military stands guard against the scarborn wolf, which gets some company.

Hm, you wonder if you can get some alcohol to freeze and use that for construction? Can't see anything in the help about that idea...

Predominant thought: Complained about the lack of tables and chairs recently.

"Civilian dwarves will infrequently go on breaks to sort out their own matters. While you can order them back to work, doing so can leave them angry, unmotivated, and/or unhappy in otherwise, depending on their personality."

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Install chairs and tables in a temporary location.
Build 5 more chairs and 5 more tables.
Wait for miner to get off of his break, continue dining room construction.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Skim through help to see if/how we'll get more dwarves.

[10ebbor10]

Do we have nesting animals? If yes, make some nesting boxes for them.

We seem to have a dining room already, why can't we put them there. Even if it's only half dug out, it should suffice.

If the mason/carpenter have at any point nothing to do, they shall make cabinets and other things for the dwarves to put their stuff in. Also some doors, which shall be placed 4-5 tiles inside the entrance.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Nest boxes, furniture, digging deeper, watching out for scarborn wolves, and looking how we get more dwarves... sound good?

Getting more Dwarves

Your main source of new dwarves will be immigrants that will come to your fortress after hearing about it from caravans that trade with you. Occasionally, depending on the world, members of other races, like humans or elves may also migrate to your fortress after hearing from their caravans. Sometimes, random travelers may also find your settlement by chance - you can send dwarves to meet wanderers much like you can send them against approaching armies or doing work offsite.

Depending on the inclinations of the migrants or wanderers, they will either settle as hill dwarves or directly in your fortress. You may be able to ask certain hill dwarves to join your settlement directly, but they won't necessarily follow that invitation.

When a caravan from your homeland is trading with you, you can usually mention a lack of certain professions in your settlement, and they will try to find dwarves willing to migrate to you, but they will ask for a compensation for that service. Some of the guards accompanying caravans may also be willing to be bought out of their contract to stay at the fortress, but bodyguards of diplomats and nobles are more likely to stay in their line of duty.

Finally, lovers and married couples will have children as their relationship continues. Babies will be very much helpless without their parents or nurses caring for them, and will grow up to be children at their first birthday. Children do as they please for the most part - you have very limited control on what they do where. They are considered fully adult as of their 12th birthday.

What type of hammer is Onol Paintposts, Male Hammerdwarf wielding? Because I see we have silver. Silver ore => silver hammer.

Your miner digs farther downwards through the marble, getting 6 marble, 3 granite and 3 rough cat's eye gems. Your smith refines more coal. You create 5 more chairs and tables, and queue up more furniture for all sorts of purposes - nest boxes, cabinets, and doors. The remaining dwarves build the tables and chairs in your dining room, then go off to drink.

A quick check shows that Onol Paintposts uses an iron warhammer.

Predominant thought: Had to drink directly from a barrel recently.

"Dwarves dislike drinking from barrels directly. Whenever possible, they will try to fill mugs that they then bring to a dining room, or fill up waterskins in order to have drinks during long stints of work."

[My Name is Immaterial]

Que up a few mugs. Then smelt the silver down into bars, and hope that silver still makes the best hammers. Also, what weapon does our sublieutenant carry?

[10ebbor10]

Pretty sure it won't. A metal reinforced warhammer with a silver core might be a good thing.

Also, examine our current defenses. Are our soldiers mainly left or right handed. That determines the directions our stairwells should turn in. ((Righthanded should be clockwise, if the enemy is coming from above. Counterclockwise if from below.))

Let's make the inquiry be 'what equipment does our military use?', so we do not have to wait a multitude of turns to learn the loadouts of our military.
