I just had a migrant wave in the end of year 1 of 34 dwarfs...20 of them children. I think somehow the mountainholm thought my forts a creche or something. To rub salt into the wound...only 1 of them is close to growing up to be a useful dwarf, all the rest are aged 9 or below. Little buggers!

Teach me to play around with the children limits on LNP to see what happens lol.

[smjjames]

The children limits don't have any affects on migrant waves.

My mechanism stockpile dwindled from ~600 to 120, and the count of used mechanisms has reached 2600. No idea how many of those exactly are in the current project, but it's definitely more than half of them. The bulk linkages should be done, but what remains is the main fiddly stuff. Yay.

Having twelve pressure plates, each of which must be linked to the correct half of 48 hatch covers takes a lot of careful job assignments, and at just under 20 fps the jobs themselves take hours and hours. Mind, those 288 linkage jobs requiring 576 mechanisms were the majority of linkage jobs - in _that_ quarter of the whole contraption...

In other news, the old clothes situation is completely silly by now - 250 dwarfs produce insane amounts of rags. The elves left sometime in early autumn, the dwarfs by the end of Granite, just thanks to the huge bounties of xsocksx they had to pick up. If i had invaders on, i'd be below 10fps.

Having read your posts, I have come to the conclusion that you are in fact the avatar of the Machine Spirit.

Ghost in the Machine.... 2nd Gig.   

Larix is indeed a Machine Spirit... but I haven't played Shadowrun in far too long so I can't remember how to be evil and associate the stats.

It has been so long since I've had this much trouble in the caverns. Trogs, then GCS.... an orphan just died trying to recover her father's corpse....

Two Siblings remain...
Scratch that

One is left, gobblo got the older brother.

Went back to a very old fort filled with levers and a half-way competent military.

I forgot what all the levers did. I triggered one and my grand dinning hall flooded with lava. I save-scummed and wondered why I would design something like that.

[WoobMonkey]

Because magma?

Yeah this is basically DF.

I'm leaving most grown-up children as peasants (a.k.a. haulerdwarfs) because actually making new stuff other than clothes would make the fps situation completely unbearable. I sent the humans off with 250k worth of garbage, the dwarf caravan's currently busy picking up their haul of 700k (decided to dump half of my prepared meals). With both human and dwarven caravan on the map, fps oscillated between 14 and 15, with the humans gone it's up to 18ish.

Count of mechanisms in use is up to 3000, stocks have recovered to 330. I'm yet another bit closer to finishing the project, although i'm not sure how much closer ("400 mechanisms closer", obviously, but there's no saying what kind of bugs will surface in the tests which are due soon). I have enough stuff installed that switching everything on would grind my 4300 water power to a halt.

I just was messing around in an 'old' fort I  had no intention of actually playing seriously again and had a migrant wave that contained 3 legendary dwarfs. One was a miner, another a woodchopper and the final a weaponsmith. I'm happy and all..but I never knew that could happen. Also side note, the world is sitting at year 1,104 so that could be the reason, but still...free legendary skill dwarfs are cool I guess.

[WoobMonkey]

Egotistical dwarf is egotistical.  Pretentious, as a true artiste ought to be.

[flabort]

Something made of iron, and a good place for soldiers (or gobbos) to stick weapons?
Yeah, it's egotistical, but it's also poking fun at himself if you consider the pincushion aspect of that.

Either that, or you must put him through some supersoldier training and arm him with 8 or so steel picks.

Wait until you get the Legendary Crutchwalker. Those are terribly useful...

Addendum:

What is going on in my fort? I am exporting low-quality WMD to everyone who comes to trade.

Elaborate...

In the greatest detail, of course.
