It surprises me that all of you aren't mentioning (not) starting a textile industry.

Who the hell uses the textile industry anyway.

Edit: Wait....

-Used magma in any way whatsoever.
-Used magma in any way whatsoever.
-Used magma in any way whatsoever.

This actually offends me.

[gtaguy]

I've never made my dwarves drink booze. Dwarven rehab bitches.

How do you get anything done??

Have shit tones of dwarves.

[Scruiser]

I've never defended a large scale siege with fairly trained dwarfs (but I have defended large sieges with danger room trained dwarf and/or draw bridges and I have fended off small ambushes with regularly trained dwarves)
I've never developed a large scale cloth industry (but I have made clothes in small quantities to have replacements for my dwarfs)
I've never breach the aquifer with pumps (although I have breached it with cave ins, even a two layer aquifer once with a two largge sequential cave-ins nested in each other)
I've never made a real mega project (I've made 6 pump mister systems and some decent sized tower, but nothing really big)
I've never made a large scale, fully functional minecart system (I have made small scale systemt to try it out)
I've never sustained a 200 population fortress for extended periods of time (fps+boredom, I only make it that far walling off the caverns and restricting outside access so it gets boring, and then I breach HFS or I open up and a real siege gets inside)
I've never tamed any really cool animal populations (tamed and breed a large number of ravens once to learn the mechanic, but nothing useful or monstrous or cool)
I've never maxed out an adventurer's stats (I will occasionally grind when I want to get some traits up, but never got an all around powerful adventure, I get sloppy once they start to get strong...)
I've never used magma in a trap (I use it for forges, and I've used large scale traps before, like double bridge based 5-z level drops before (just enough to stun and critically wound, but leaves the goblins alive for soldier to kill for practice)

So yeah, I've tried everything at least once, but I don't tend to excel at anything really dwarfy.  I think I am going to try a wood based surface fort with this new update for variety.

[ArmokGoB]

Built a well that hasn't turned my fort into Dwarven Atlantis.

I've actually done this once. For what unfathomable reason I do not remember, although I have a feeling it involved full midnight blue, GCS silk clothing for all my soldiers.

Anyway, I've never...

• Built an actual minecart transportation system
• Had the king arrive beyond one case a long time ago
• Breached an aquifer layer
• Tamed a GCS

[mnjiman]

I have never built a mega fortress worth showing off.
Once this version is stable enough where saves are not ruined every release, Ill start working on it.


Really though... I have done an insane amount of stuff -_-

[Oblique]

1) Never made a mine cart. I'm not entirely sure why, it's just one of those things I continuously neglect trying.
2) Never made soap. Because, like, dwarves.

[mnjiman]

Soap helps with cleaning wounds and preventing infections. If you want to actually clean your dwarves, have them walk through a very light stream of water, hovering from 1/7-2/7 water. They will get a happy thought from having a bath recently.

[neblime]

I have never done anything with bees.  ever.
also not anything with minecarts

[Chernish]

I've never...
- gotten the clue on how to make a working military force;
- created a working minecarts system. Not for a lack of trying, though;
- created a pump stack;
- colonized a cave. When I breach it I close the breach and continue to dig down to the magma sea elsewhere. The seeds grow in any underground soil I have, I don't have to cope with the monsters with my non-existent military force, the Megabeasts that spawn there are harmless to me... why should I colonize a cave?;
- had anything to do with potions or salves;
- intentionally offended the traders;
- built anything out of candy. I got the candy but put the industry to later, then disaster/FPS/boredom stroke;
- successfully weaponized magma;
- raised a population of tamed wild animals, even with the help of the tree-huggers;
- played in adventure mode more than a few moments;
- given anything more than a cursory glance at the legendary mode;

I do! I always have a textile industry in my forts.

I... I'm serious. I do. I swear!

Do I get the Award of Shame, then?

[klefenz]

I never
-tamed a GCS
-used magma as a weapon
-built a pump stack
-learn the SoL&D
-made a full candy clad military
-succesfully embarked in an evil area
-dyed anything black
-played Masterwork seriously
-had more than 3 or 4 adventurer companions
-defeat the clowns
-use a necromacer for something on fortress mode (I did capture one once)
-fought a giant sponge

[XArgon]

I'll just list the easy ones.
I've never:
- Butchered cats
- Built a training Danger Room
- Mistreated migrants Nope. Once tried a hermit fort in a terrifying biome. He-he. For a very short time.
- Built a pump stack
- Even tried to get into using minecarts
- Had a dwarf with a fell mood
- Had an elven invasion
- Ordered to sew an image in leather. Wut...

[WaffleEggnog]

What forum am I on, Dwarf Fortress or Baby Fortress?

[SmileyMan]

Built a trap in Fortress mode. I just don't like the idea of them.

On the other hand, I quite often get a textile industry up, if only for making pig tail ropes.
