Wait, does that make it my turn?

[WoobMonkey]

Looks like.  BlackMuffin, care to update the OP?

[4maskwolf]

Sigh.  I literally just finished Chamberdrums.  Looks like I'm going to learn my lesson about signing up for too many games.  Alright, time to download the save.

[KingBacon]

Mask, I took a tour of this fort and some massive reforms are in order.

[4maskwolf]

Oh yeah. Any ideas?

[KingBacon]

Picks, Shields and Arms. There are currently 5 picks for 80 residents, plenty of wood and no shields, and 5 weapons for the whole military. This will not do. Stockpiles are inefficient, women are making rock mugs which are of little value and will not aid in the defense of the fort.

Also if you can obsidianize the magma problem that might help FPS later on, though I'll probably do it myself if I have time.

[WoobMonkey]

How are stockpiles inefficient?  Double-check what links to what, before you get too drastic with the changes, there.  I micro'd the hell out of a few of them, especially the minecart piles.

[KingBacon]

If you are using wheelbarrows, having multiple smaller stockpiles rather than one big one winds up with haulers moving stuff faster. I think the same is true even without wheelbarrows. That and I QSP everything, so I'm a tad biased.

[WoobMonkey]

Everything is QSP'd, that's my point.  Where you see wheelbarrows are piles that are picking up either stone, or ore, feeding a minecart, and dumping into a QSP.  Check the routes information.  Like I said, I micro'd the hell out of all of them.

The only piles that aren't Quantum are the trade goods pile (by the depot; accepts only tradeable items, fed from workshop OUT QSP line), the food piles (separated by type), and maybe a couple that I haven't gotten to separating yet.

Basically, all raw materials are either going into the Wood/Stone QSP line on the workshop level, or the Ore/Economic/Clay/Sandbag QSP in the foundry.  All outputs from all workshops in an area are feeding into their respective QSP lines (except food processing, of course), which are then feeding disparate parts of the fortress.

Remember, we have 5 picks to 40, not 80, workers.  And each one of those workers needs to be busy elswhere, rather than ineffectually chipping at rock.  A pair of legendary miners oughtta be enough for now, IMHO.  What we really need is to get the clothing industry started, before everybody's everything rots off.

But, hey, neither of us is overseer anyways.  It's 4maskwolf's game now.

[BlackMuffin]

oh god all these replies
I can't
I'm just
*urk*

[ShadowHammer]

Ye cowards! You used WALLS!?!? What is this BLASPHEMY?!?!

Otherwise, good turn. I agree with king bacon, we really do need more weapons, and shields all around.

[4maskwolf]

Yeah, umm... there's no bars.  Like, none none.

[4maskwolf]

Do we kill elves?

[KingBacon]

Do we kill elves?

Do we NOT kill elves?

[4maskwolf]

Point taken.
