Over the course of spending Christmas with the fambly, I have discovered the joy of serrated green glass disks and am now importing sand bags by the bale along with flux and steel. I keep finding little red splotches and piles of goblinite around the fort entrances where a stealthed thief or snatcher got gibbed.

I am also trying to get a handle on my out-of-control food production. Phase 0 is to export as many cooked meals as possible. Phase 1 is to create a list of plants I want to keep growing and using, and cooking the rest into extinction along with their seeds. Phase 2 is to create a list of livestock I want to keep breeding and using, and butchering the rest. Right now there are NINE ACTIVE KITCHENS all running Lavish Meal/R jobs.

Lastly, I have found that my magma tube is in Cavern 2 and not Cavern 3 as I thought. I found this out by breaching Cavern 3. Bloodthorns, bloodthorns everywhere. I've also found another exposed addy vein, which I suspect is the one the Clown Car resides beneath.

I am thinking I will pasture a critter there surrounded by masterwork statues, wall around it and roof it in, fill the area with repeating silver spike traps, and send a disposable miner to hew through the blue. The critter will be kept safe by the statues which the demons will be attempting to destroy as they are spiked to death. In the event of an emergency, militia will be burrowed to the area around the Demon Disposal and civilians will be burrowed to a secure "safety" burrow.

Ohhh, no. Oh no. Oh, shit, oh shit, oh shit shit shit...

My Armor-smith has gone into a secretive mood. I've immediately ordered a Forge built, but the only metal I have available is Copper. I have a very, very, very, very, very bad feeling that she's gonna go insane... I pray to Armok and God alike that I have what my Armor-smith wants.

As an FYI: Alot of the HFS has Trapavoid, or so I hear tell. I still haven't gotten around to digging that deep yet. I keep getting bogged down by horrible monsters. Not to mention all the stuff outside my fortress.

They ALL have trap avoid.

I thought lever-operated spikes worked around trapavoid and trapimmune?

Yup.

Alot is from Hyperbole And A Half

A lot of the HFS has Trapavoid, or so I hear tell.

Fixed that for you.

But on-topic, by repeating spikes I meant that they would be remote-operated by a repeating lever, which allows spikes to hit Trapavoid and Trapimmune things. No worries!

[Loud Whispers]

That picture was so horrifically fitting.

I released a female rabbit into the caverns once. They quickly took over, not even the resident ogres or GCS could cull enough of them :|

What? Don't question a dorf's sexual tastes.


Anyway, I've genned up a new world. Haven't given up on dragonward, it's jsut somewhat boring at the moment, and I thought of an interesting thing to try:

I'm going to build this in a cold world with only one dwarven civ, starting at year five, with 1000 or so megabeasts and 3000 or so semi-megabeasts, and 1000 titans. The total dwarven population after civ creation? 95 dwarves. I will then try to run it as long as possible and double the dwarven population. The catch? Well, that's it. Fucked from the beginning.

Craftsdwarf gets a strange mood. Builds a gypsum amulet. Hanging rings of blah, encircled with bands of blah, menaces with spikes of blah, etc. etc.

On the item is an image of a diamond in birch. On the item is an image of a birch in yellow diamond.

I found two dwarves and a goose starving to death trapped on the roof of a building that does not now and has never had roof access. I'm trying to figure out how the hell they got up there.

Maybe they got caught on a drawbridge being retracted? That's been known to fling creatures around a bit.
