Nevertaxed
Duty Free Baby!

In the year 198 an ambitious tax cheat struck out with a team of six settlers to create an above ground dwarven settlement in a savage subarctic shrubland with a few handfuls of ratweed a few barrels of ale and a dream of creating the new Mountainhome. This is the story of how they all died horribly.

You are expected to have read these rules, if you violate the rules on your turn your turn will be skipped over and the save reverted.

Spoiler: Rules of Dwarf Village: (click to show/hide)

FIGHT LIKE A DWARF! No exploits. Danger Rooms, Trap Spam, and anything else deemed by the group to be cheap is strictly prohibited.

WE AREN'T MOLES! Every tile that is used by the fortress MUST be "above ground" unless it's a basement or a mine.A basement is a dug out area whose perimeter is the same as the base of the building it's under. A basement only costs a z level if it is designated as a bedroom dining room office etc. A mine shaft is a tunnel dug for the purpose of extracting ore and stone.

KNOW YOUR PLACE! Every Nevertaxed dwarf gets 25 tiles to build on assigned by the overseer but the village is run by notables and notables get privileges. There are two ways to become notable: 1. The Dwarf is a noble AND dwarfed 2. The Dwarf is legendary in at least one skill AND dwarfed. Multiple titles of nobility do not stack.
Notables can own one industry and are awarded 10 tiles and 1 z level for every tier of nobility they have. Any dwarf ,notable or not, can have a 25 tile 1z house but an expedition leader or any other starting noble can have a 35 tile 2z house a mayor or guard captain can have a 45 tile 3z house. Multiple titles of nobility do not stack. Building above 1z does not cost tiles but no structure can have a floor that is wider or longer than it's base.

FOUNDER'S KEEPERS! The original 7 founders (and any dwarves who inherit their powers in the event of their deaths) are special notables. They receive a 50 tile estate instead of the standard 25 and can select where their tiles are located. Founders automatically have as many Zs as the highest noble. No overseer may alter or make use of a Founder's land except by specific request. Locking doors, raising drawbridges, etc are expected to be done reasonably. 

A founder may choose to "rent" up to 25 of their tiles to a non-notable to allow them to have an industry. Any dwarf can use the rental property but only one can function as the renter. If the renter becomes legendary through the use of the rented property they buy the property from the landlord. The landlord earns back all tiles invested plus one tile for every skill level the renter had to go up to reach legendary. A rented property is designated by adding a custom profession indicating the industry and retner status as well as a label.

NO WEEKEND WARRIORS! A militia commander can only own the barracks. You can't have a standing militia without a barracks. In the event of an emergency you can rally a temporary defense force but you must delete the squad as soon as you stop giving them orders. Militia captains can own property but only when their squad is full.

NO COMMUNITY PROPERTY! This means no defensive walls, buildings cannot touch, and nothing may exist unless a dwarf "owns it."Every industry, every building, and every stockpile is “Owned” by a dwarf. Ownership is clarified by custom professions. A dwarf doesn't necessarily need to use or even have skills associated with an industry in order to own it. A woodcutter could own the glassmaking industry without ever using the furnace himself.


Most people who get confused get confused here so here are some examples of what is and is not "owned."


This is a pointless cluster with no clear ownership, don't build this.


This is kiln on a dwarf's roof. This is totally acceptable because the owner is clearly established.


This is a kiln behind a dwarf's house with it's own stockpile. This is also completely fine because the owner of the workshop is clear.

yo.  INterested.

[Pencil_Art]

Hurro. So can there be something like a quarry where ores will be mined for the metalsmithing industry? If so, how would it work?
Would random people work in it, or would the owner be the only one allowed to mine?

Sounds like an interesting idea.

Like a query.  An open air mine that follows the rules of the game.

Anybody would be able to mine. Working in an industry is the equivalent of working for the notable who runs it. I was imagining a no mining fort but I'm not really committed to it if the consensus is that it would be more fun.

[Pencil_Art]

Right

[wierd]

Metal industry does not "explicitly" need mining.  Metals can be obtained 2 other ways.

Goblinite (More dwarfy, especially with THESE rules)

Trade (but somebody would have to own the depot, to stay in agreement with the rules-- Sadly, "Merchandising" isn't one of the listed ownership industries!)

Will the site have surface access to magma, or will all industries require wood?

No magma just coal. Previous forts in this style were done to simulate paralyzing metal scarcity and completely dependent on trade.

I'll update Warehouse to include trading post.

edit: Also added Hospital (duh) and turned clay to Stone which includes all hard rock workshops and pottery.

[Timeless Bob]

He meant Quarry.

Be sure to add the [PERMITTED REACTION:DISPLAY_CASE] to your dwarf entity or the custom building won't work.

I'm an avid user but for anyone observing it's [PERMITTED_BUILDING:DISPLAY_CASE] that allows it to be built.

[zubb2]

Dwarf meh.

[Baffler]

Yeah me too. I'll grab any dwarf from the first or second migrant waves. preferably a jeweler, but if that isn't an option then any ol' craftsdwarf will do.

[Lord_lemonpie]

Lovely idea! I'd like to get dwarfed as an animal trainer or ranger :3
