It's capped at something like...47z for terminal velocity, I think. Past that point, it's no use. And I've had a dwarf survive 19z drop onto slade floor in .03, so...Plan for them possibly surviving.

That said, might be a moot point; if the water washes them into a hole, then that hole is a drowning chamber.

It is when anything that is not a hand-hend weapon, armor or cloth breaks

Source? I've only seen trap components mentioned on the bug tracker, so if broken earrings crash, that's news to me, and likely news to Toady as well.

That's new. Has anyone had this before?

Edit: I'm suddenly also getting a metric fuckton of visitors.

Most of those goblins & elves are probably apprenticed to the humans (or goblins most definitely apprenticed to the elves) hence why there's so many in the troupe. Bringing their ex-students along for the ride.

Seriously this one guy, despite a civilian alert and the doors to the tavern being locked decided to waltz on down for some socializing. 

Check your burrow. If there is one tile outside the fort then he might have tried to path to that tile. I had a mob of migrants running in during a civ alert then later found 2 of them huddled outside of a side gate because of this. Lucky guys too, the thralled water buffalo was busy with some undead giant magpies

The bunker in question was a mined out microcline deposit 10z underground. The tavern is on the surface

You might have to make arranged marriages. Take the best lady beard you can, and have her marry the smartest and fittest dwarf you can. If you have two married couples, you can have a dwarf supply that can last a long time, like Archcrystal.

Huh! I thought at least three married couples were necessary, for when their grandchildren grow up enough to pair off. Something about how if there are only two lineages, the children will only chose partners from the other lineage, and then the grandchildren won't marry their same-age aunts/uncles or their first cousins.

Doesn't matter anyway, I got a migrantsplosion after the elven caravan of 202. Guess the civ is only dying, not dead.

No liason suggests that the dwarves are currently entirely refugees because all the 'Market' provinces have been destroyed, while no caravans & no liasons will suggest that ALL the hillocks and fortresses in range of your own  player fortress have been destroyed but there is probably still a hermit and/or group of refugees out there somewhere keeping the flame of dwarven independence & civilisation alive.

Aaaaaah. Thanks for the clarification!

Steelteacher is now 31 beards strong! And being invaded by gray langurs again, ugh. Go awayyyy you obnoxious monkeys stop trying to steal all our stuff

My own testing with minecart drop training. Details mentioned starting here in trivial findings thread and continuing on next page.

The king of Steelteacher likes llamas. Now we have 48 statues, all of llamas, all in his various rooms. I hope he likes that 16 of them stare at him while he sleeps. (Another 10 watch over his throne room. The rest guard his future tomb.)

Maybe I should've made them all blood gnats, that'd be more amusingly suitable.

The Happy Fun Death Pit was completed in 203, and it got its first test run when a group of gray langurs tried to make a run for my stuff. I have no idea how one of them managed to survive the 30-z drop with only a mangled left front leg, but it's not going anywhere right now.

Steelteacher also welcomed its first native-born dwarf shortly before the turn of the year. In order to encourage fraternization among the ranks and love and marriage and baby carriages and such, I'm doing the 1-tile meeting zone trick.

Also, elves. None of my prepared meals are in large pots, alas, so I'm going to have to steal all their shit again. Oh noes.

Still just trying to find anything better for weapons and arm other than copper... So far that's all, though. Guess my military will be decked out in lots of leather stuff with copper shields, mail shirts, and helms, with silver hammers. If I can find some cassiterite lower down I'll be set though. The gems offered by the mountainhome aren't that great, not a single top tier gem and no sapphires, but I'll be able to ship in any metal I want slowly, as well as their ores. Going to get someone to master at least in weapon smithing and armour smithing before we touch the steel I manufacture, so the elite dwarves get the best.

The dog who fell into the waterfall on day one is still sitting their, covered in scars, and surrounded by dead hippoes, otters, and alligators. What a beast.

Only one person has died in a tree so far, and he was just a fisher, so it doesn't matter. Already brought in all the fish we'll need.

My clothier just started a fey mood, this is great. Was hoping to have good clothing for everyone, and just imported a ton of GCS Silk.

Ancientvault's seemingly turning out a lot better than Openbodies, where everyone just died of dehydration. Accursed desert!

Why, oh why, oh why do dwarves gain friendship so slowly in 43.03? I had to turn off the temple and make a 1-tile meeting area for them to even start talking to each other, and it's been months now and I haven't gotten a single romance out of it. UGH.

Also a bloody woodcrafter got bloody possessed. What a useful profession to waste a mood on.

I recommend two-person marriage suites - put in a compatible pair and check in on them with compatible pair.

First time hearing of somebody using 1-tile meeting zone for conversations, I'd assume the relationship points would get all spread out.

The 1-tile trick's worked for me in the past. I have heard it's much harder to get dwarves to make friends in 43.03, though, and I think I last played seriously on 34.xx or 40.xx. -shrug- I'll try marriage suites next.

[Fleeting Frames]

And, err, I realize I brainfarted in last post. Check in on them in two seasons, not with another pair
