i meant the coming winter.

i meant the coming winter.

Okay then.

Rigoth the mason got fey mood and locked at the workshop. He has two jet boulders and turtle shell, and he mumbles about "rough color" - I guess he means rough gems, we have plenty of them, but he refuses. Maybe raw glass wiil suffice? I'll make a glass furnace

Morul the berserk farmer died from thrist.

Yes, a glob of green glass was that Rigoth was looking for. He began his construction.

Human caravan came, and we bought a lot of food from them. They had nothing else.
A group of kobolds tried to sneka in, but were cut by caravan guards.

So, how's my dwarf doing? What about the environmental decimation (tree cutting)?

[Splint]

We're good for wood for now, unless peregarrett went furniture happy. Did cut quite a few down though.

[peregarrett]

So, how's my dwarf doing? What about the environmental decimation (tree cutting)?

I expanded wood stockpile and cut some more, behind the river. Also our marksdwarves shot a few grounhogs, and scared away group of wolves. We need more wood for beds for all those migrants and for charcoal production.

Last time I saw him, he was designing a bridge over the chasm.

[Splint]

Actually there was a bridge. Just gotta find the lever.

[peregarrett]

Actually there was a bridge. Just gotta find the lever.

Shit. That why I couldn't build a bridge straight at the exit, had to dig around.

Who and why made the lever that is in the small cave far south from entrance? And another cave far north?

[Splint]

That lever to the south is to the chasm bridge. No idea about the cave.

Rigoth made his artifact. A piece of art!


We discovered magma!

Now we're ready to burn the whole world!!!
And don't bother for charcoal.

... Uh.. where am I? What happened?

Wow. That's Morul the berserk, I think.

While I was 'out', some events happened. First, our woodcutters were scared away by wolves, so soldiers were moved out. A marksdwarf shot all of his bolts, entered martial trance and rushed melee. Killed three wolves and one groundhog who happened on his way.

And a dwarven caravan arrived. We sold them all of bone crafts and some masterwork mechanisms, taking everything in exchange.

Hooray! We've struck gold and iron ores! Now the magma forge is just one step closer - we need steel for making smelters and forges. Also we've struck coal.

[Aseaheru]

woo!

[Splint]

Glad to see my architectual mishap has been immortalized on an artifact

[jesternario]

This sounds like a train wreck waiting to happen

(goes and gets a large tub of popcorn, a small soda, and a lawnchair)

Pages of Peregarrett's diary, random and incomplete

It's late autumn, and Kulet the carpenter got secretive mood. He claimed bowyer shop ( an artifact crossbow? would be nice!). Then he took a log and waits for something, picturing sketch of ore mine. We have a lot of metals here!
Oh, he wanted platinum. Greedy bastard!
Now he wants a rough gem, but those that are lying everywhere don't suffice. Green glass doesn't also. Maybe crystal? or clear glass?

We made some steel bars and are digging some space around magma flow for smelters. First design failed because sudenly we don;t know how to install smelter into magma-filled channel. Uh oh.

A swarm of rhesus macaques rushed into fortress. Guards chopped them into pieces. I think I should make some more bolts - our archers shot them all!

[SanDiego]

Magma smelter must be built over the "Magma river", not over the channel.

[Quietust]

Now he wants a rough gem, but those that are lying everywhere don't suffice. Green glass doesn't also. Maybe crystal? or clear glass?

Certainly possible - dwarves didn't start asking for glass by name until after this version. If you're uncertain, you could try using the DFHack "showmood" command (if you're not willing to use DFHack-23a, I can upload my "showmood" tool, upon which the DFHack plugin was based) to figure out exactly what he wants.

During my time playing 23a, I ran into several dwarves who demanded rough gems but wouldn't take anything, and "showmood" said they wanted rough gems of any material. I haven't had the opportunity to examine a mood that successfully gathered gems, though...
