11th timber
more migrants are pop is up to 53!
so far our low wealth has kept away more dangerous enimies then the theivs, but with our industries starting up this is soon to change

19th Timber

11th moonstone
our larders are now well stocked. with over 500 units of drink and 1600 total food, i beleive the hard times of earlier this year are over. the military is well established and the defensises are up, i have even begun building a bunker over the drawbridge for marksdwarves. after 2 dwarves were injured by wildlife i have decideced to build a hospital to help prevent further injuries, however i will not have time to produce soap this year.

26th moonstone

3rd of opal

3rd of obsideon
my time as oversear has nearly ended and i can honestly say i have made the fort a better place because of it. we now have enough food and drink, and nobody is depreased, we havent had someone go beserk and try to kill everybody in months. We are now safe not only behind walls and traps but a strong army. i have decided to retire to the newest part of my legacy the hospital and become cheif medical dwarf and prehaps baron oneday...
my goals have been mostly sucsesful however living conditions are yet to improve.

here is the save dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=7215

[jesternario]

none of the deaths are due to accidents all of them a dwarfs going insane and having to be put down or die of thirst.  il try and figure out how to get a map of the fort up

I believe that there's a site called dfatlas or something like that.

Also, fun fact: You can smooth stone belonging to an aquifer, which keeps it from causing floods. A good way to build through it. At least that's what I've heard.

[shali8]

Yes, if you smooth it or build over it, it stops producing water. My design flaw was I dug some channels before smoothing all of the walls, and cut off my access.

[sackhead]

i just went round it

[MinethatCrackers]

i just went round it

I told you the biome in the lower left has no aquifer!

Journal of the Overseer Artimaus: Tragic Autumn

     I fear my attempt at draining the aquifer has failed. I have hit a dead end. An endless circle of draining refilling and drowning. A flaw in my design prevents anyone from fixing it without shutting down the pumps. I did not realize what was happening until after four stoneworkers had drowned. Tantrums have ensued. Someone's dog also drowned. I could have done this the easy way and tried to find an end to the aquifer, but no I had to plunge straight through it.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

     I have succeeded in shutting down the second level pumps. Hopefully, this will give the workers a chance to fix my error. Hmm... it seems EVERYONE that had any skill in masonry is dead. I will issue an order that the newest (most stable) migrant wave will have scheduled masonry shifts.

     Oh, Armok we are all doomed; a farmer has gone berserk. In the Meeting Area! A raging dwarf in an enclosed space with little room is a recipe for DEATH and DESTRUCTION.

I AM GOING TO DIE!!!!!







I have decided to leave the fort. A small group of dwarves- who's sanity remains intact- are going with me. We shall camp on the surface until all of the insane dwarves have died. I have locked them in a room with no food. We shall have to fend for ourselves under the open sky. I do not know whether I am glad or disappointed that Minethatcrackers is one of the few who is still sane.


EDIT: OOC every dwarf in the fortress is Miserable or Insane. 

I say go back to the previous save, and say it was a dream or something.

Anyway, if you want me to upload the save I will but otherwise...

It all fell apart so quickly

I never doubted you about the end to the aquifer.

It was just information recieved too late.

[Fear The Amish]

Would like a dwarf and a turn if able

BUMP ATTACK!!!!!!

[jesternario]

Okay, so what's the current state of the fortress again? miserable, insane? How many good mood items are in the fort to counter this? How far is it to the end of your turn currently?

[shali8]

my turn ended awhile ago

[jesternario]

So... It's the next guy's turn? have we talked to him about that?

[Fear The Amish]

its up to Jvier or Cracker now

[javierpwn]

I'll get to it soon, as it is my birthday, ill be into the festivities
And play with the dying fort for a while

Just a question, did you Pierce the aquifer yet? I'm terrible at that

[MinethatCrackers]

Sorry about the absence, had midterms for a while. Javier, take it away!
