I have begun hooking up the future bedrooms with a flood gate that will will allow magma into a single room with each lever. Need to work on draining it though...

I made a mistake by building traps around the gate. As a result, no wagons this year...

I've learned that little caveat the hard way as well back when wagons were first brought back in.

I retired again and reclaimed the old fort...
One of the reason was the lag. The pre-generated fort was much much larger than any of my own forts...the fps reading seemed OK, but there were pauses now and then, quite unnerving to play.

Is there any way to collect fruit yet? My fort is starving to death and I just noticed that the entrance to the fort is covered in Finger Limes and Rambutans.

Take an herbalsit dorf. If the fruits are ripe they can be harvested, if not then not.

This is the submerged basement of Anvilfaints. The word was written using stockpiles.

sign lookin bit like this: % but with dots not cirlces = definitely ripe. Leaf signs (Bit like spade card sign) are generally fairy ripe. Designate a plant-gathering zone over them, and all the ripe ones willl be picked

Two babies means a greater sense of permanence to Torish this winter. A kobold also runs afoul of Commander Olin, who gains the title... The Naughty Mesh of Tools... Uh.... Hrmm. Not really a fitting name for the only one in the military with any real kills besides water buffalos.

Furnishing the apartments is nearly done, and the catacombs are partly finished, and a fancy earring is produced by a fey mood where it is quickly stuffed in the vault to never see the light of day again, and some fresh ore has been smelted, mainly to produce extra mail for the troops. Boredom grips the militia, which now has some of the citizens manning siege crossbows, if only to give them something constructive to do.

Torish is bored but stands mighty still.

50 z-levels of magma pump stack are done. The stack isn't even complete, but I stopped below the caverns to put in a magma cistern and reroute for pump stack to the surface. Now I have to power the thing. With zombies and evil rain outside, I decided to tap my brook from below to make an aquaduct and waterwheel that. I'm going to need a lot of waterwheels....


Meanwhile I'm breeding anything I can capture or buy from caravans. I've got GCS spider hatchlings now, and I can't wait until I have a big set of them. I wish I could get some Cave Dragons or Jabberers though....

I'm attempting the same thing with a pump stack right now too. I don't know what you are going to use magma for, but I'm using it to hook every bedroom up to it. Each room will have its own flood gate to let the magma in and burn the dwarf inside.

The second cavern has over 250  undead in it and it is climbing quickly. My solution: get the FB in the first cavern down to the second cavern so it can pulp each one of the monsters down there. I do not know how it occurred though.

I was going to use the magma for forges, but it was faster just to have dwarves haul it up with minecarts for the few magma forges I needed.

This magma... this magma is going to turn all the goblin ambushes and undead sieges outside my fort into rapidly dissolving puddles.
