Genning a world in the 34.02 for the first time. I have plans. Wonderful, zombitastic plans....
This should be interesting.
With DT up and running, I start my first serious 34.02 fort. Got mountains and swamp on the square with a stream for fresh water. Wanted swamp to cultivate swamp plants on my farms. Nearly the whole damn map is flat. I hate flat maps. The stream is loaded with carp. And I wonder how long it will be before some badgers come by, I don't think I played a single 31.25 fort that did not generate a badger storm at some point. Well at least the embark screen didn't say
Aquifer, and it's supposed to have multiple metals. Dug a 1x3 ramp slit into the earth and got tunnelling.
So I dig down and hit diorite. Shit.
Another map with igneous rock, everything I've been playing lately is igneous. But I found copper when I started digging out the dining hall, so that's ok for a start. Dug a bit deeper and hit...galena. Dammit. Dug down further to hit cavern, I want some moss for my sheep to eat. Well, there was cassiterite and gold down there. Looks like another fort with metal crafts. Cassiterite and native copper means I have at least bronze for weaponry with isn't too shabby. I can smelt the galena with the gold to get some electrum for crafts, and use lead leftovers for bins and cages. After I finish digging out the main living area and workshops, I'm going to go magma prospecting.
