You have rivers and probably a fishing industry.

Is that blood or is the game just happy to see you?

Well, things aren't coming along quite as quickly as I'd hoped.  One more picture for today, and hopefully things'll pick up.



A bath meant to clean your dwarves and/or teach them swimming.

Also microcline.

BZZZZZT!  Incorrect!  Well, not the microcline part; that's true.  Keep guessing!

You have water power systems [...] It's possible you've got a waterfall or two.

Yes, both of these statements are true, but I doubt you drew those conclusions for the right reasons.  Neither is related to the images I've shown so far.

Your hospital is more well-stocked than either your number if patients it the industriousness of your doctors require. It,s also adjacent to a dormitory.

Picture #3:

The water supply for what's going on in picture #2. It is paved to prevent plant growth. There's a pressure break over to the left, and the yellow lever is attached to a floodgate or door in the unpaved area just before the other door. You may have marksdwarves shooting things in the river.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

Possibly it's a farmland-maker or a minecart water shotgun.

This one should be interesting.



Also, a question to prompt a bit of discussion:  How old is my fortress?

I'd say about 5 years in or you just rob all the traders.

I say 3 years, if I had to venture a guess you're almost into Year 4? I've never had this much wealth honestly lol

Judging from the wealth and my fortress experience, it's 10ish give or take two years old, possibly five years if it's worked hard, give or take a year. There're a lot of furnishings so that hints at well-stocked dining room and bedroom complex possibly. Or just a lot of bag industry! Not much architecture wealth, so you've not been making much road/bridges nor other designed building, such as forge, smeltery and such.

Weapons wealth hints that your military's around 10-20 dwarves, and armor/garbs relative to weapons says that your fortress' decently invested into the military but still possibly roughly 150 to 200 dwarves by regular dressing. Or that you have a lot of traps and your dwarves have dyed clothings with armor/garb wealth.

I'm estimating relative to my experience with 50 dwarves cap and lack of metalworking :D

You write extremely well, Goomba :)


mmmmm yes.  I dare say Goombas words there (all 851 of them) are worth far more than 85.1% of almost any picture!

You export objects under the title of "Other Objects" (as most players do)

You also like a centrelized fortress. You prefer to centrelize and/or organize rooms passed on function.

Your fortress is in a sedimentary layer.

Your fortress is quite large, at least 100. ( as evidenced by the size of hospital facilites and the fact that you have a dedicated team of engravers.)

You are using the water as part of a magma piston.

Wild educated guess, above the hospital are bedrooms, residential dinning rooms, or residential studies.

Well, img.ie's giving me issues, so no picture for now.  Instead, I'll respond to some more guesses.

You are using the water as part of a magma piston.

Nope.

I say 3 years, if I had to venture a guess you're almost into Year 4? I've never had this much wealth honestly lol

Close, but you're a bit short.  Your guess is low, as well.  :P

Ok, how about the other guesses?

Water is being used as part of an irrigation project. The area you embarked on did not have sufficent soil areas for tree farms, and you are making your own.

The big water pool is a cistern, also used to clean people and train their swimming skill.
