There are clothes on the ground all around the fort...what.

Dwarves try to replace their old, rotten clothing with new clothing. But instead of just going to the stockpile to pick it up, they drop their rotten clothing on the ground when the job starts and run (potentially naked) to the stockpile to pick up the new clothes.

Several sections of my palisade are paved with socks, while the new Well carries the unique flavor of ☼Pig Tail Robe☼.

They will be cleaned up eventually if your dwarves have a place to put them.  A good incentive to make cabinets.

currently my marksdwarf is stuck in a fungi wood tree. in a underground lake. he cant swim so naturaly he jumps in the water and starts drowning, crawls back on the tree, and repeats

Last night I couldn't find my best miner.  I hadn't seen him since the forgotten minotaur attacked.  But he wasn't dead.

I found him in a tree.  I don't know how he got up there.  Perhaps he was fleeing from the minotaur, which had been slain just to the left of him.  And he was trapped in the tree, and couldn't get down.  He just kept wandering around in the branches.  I had to build stairs up to him so that he could escape.

He might learn to swim doing that for long enough. Send some more guys down there to learn.

My communist kolkhoz chilling is getting out of hands,

The forges are cold, been that way since they were moved. Before that they just produced a couple of picks to mine with.

It's been more than a couple of years that the living standards have been poor except for being constantly drunk and overproducing excellent meals. That's mostly because 90% of the dwarves just gather fruit from the savannah trees to survive and pass time.

And what is the architecture used for? Mountain goats. Horse pastures. A hospital that still doesn't have a traction bench because no one cares.

At least the legendary military trainers know their job. They trained on the red square on a cliff hanging above a carp river. But the common dorfis are so dumb they don't learn. They just pick up fruit from the ground.

I found GOLD under my fortress!

[NJW2000]

I've always found iron harder to get ahold of. Silver is more useful, but gold is amazing for crafts... unless you have platinum of aluminium... both of which I used up recently

Reminds me of the descriptions in the Odyssey, where they talk about his magnificent hoards of gold... but far, far more valuable horde of iron weapons and armor. Really an odd comparison from a modern perspective. I tend to save platinum and aluminum for noble's chambers or decorations for my own fort, they're so absurdly rare that it seems like a violation of dwarven values to let them leave in anyone's hands.

An odd thing I noticed with some of those super steep peaks I've been finding was the mineral distribution.

Then I found the even steeper one to the southwest was full of magnetite, weeee!

Just had a wereantalope pay my fledgling fort a nice surprise visit. it got inside before I could get the drawbridge lever pulled. Then I had a stroke of both good and bad luck. On the one hand, my legendary miner happened to be topside for whoever knows what reason, and proceeded to brain it with her pickaxe. On the other, said legendary miner's head is now split open and her legs are in rough so who knows if she will survive. She didnt even get a title out of the whole mess. No other casualties, so I guess I got off relatively easy.

Edit: Addendum; her entire right foot got lopped off and landed on the open roof of the fortress. If she survives (which I hope she does, she's my favorite) then I guess she will have to get used to life with a crutch. 

Edit: Addendum 2: She managed to survive until my medical dwarves got her patched up. She's up and roaming with some massive scars and a nice crutch.

[Button]

Did she get bit?

[ThePeanut]

Did she get bit?

I don't think so, she hasn't transformed yet and I didn't see any bites in the combat report. I suppose it's possible that I overlooked it and I just havn't had the game unpaused long enough to find out the hard way.

Edit: I must have missed something; she just transformed while digging the moat underneath my drawbridge. Luckily she's trapped a few levels down with  no way out while I scramble to figure out a solution. I might just wait until she turns back and seal her in a room as my new bookkeeper and have her update stocks until she starves to death. Or I could scramble the military for Fun times.

Well, that's it for Sparktower. The first caravan appeared right under a wicked vapor cloud which instantly huskified every single merchant and pack animal. The husks surprisingly started fighting each other until only one water buffalo husk was left. The last husk exited the map without killing anyone else and I even started to feel a glimmer of hope...

...for about five seconds until a merchant horse corpse reanimated. The zombie horse charged right towards my poorly protected entrance and managed to get in when I tried to get a tardy wood hauler inside safely. The undead creature simply massacred the few dwarves that had survived vapor husks and showers of face-melting water.

Game over. That was a surprising amount of FUN packed into just first few months.

Finally found some platinum to upgrade the Dwarven Cyclotron Centrifuge.

"This new upgrade will produce 50% more goblinite!."

After years of peace, shit gets real when water melts and everybody thought the retracting bridges would stop it.
