I'm about set up to start my obsidian farm, the pumps are built and the water chamber is completely wired up. The only thing remaining is to get some bauxite mechanisms for the drawbridge in the magma and start training up my haulers as pump operators. Soon I'll actually begin my megaproject.
I finally engaged the orcs after hiding from three sieges. Four orc squads, two of which were all or mostly bow-orcs. I now have 60-ish corpses sitting in my refuse stockpile, rotting away. I think that's a good enough apology from my first two squads of hammerdwarves, who managed to inflict spinal wounds on all but one of the third squad - the survivor and the one who reached elite before getting wounded are now marksdwarves. At least I now have a good source of bone for training, and some steel for properly armoring new recruits.
My farmer just made one of the lamest artifacts ever. It's an artifact olivine coffin, made from a single chunk of olivine. Worth 2.4k. On the bright side, it's name is pretty badass - Dimmedmurder. Think I'll give it to the baron when he arrives, as a warning. He might accidentally get "stuck" in the obsidian tunnels if he makes too many demands.
Trying to pierce my first aquifer without using magma (even thought I have it on the map)
so...... many........ suspension notifications
Urgh, tried to do that once. It wasn't pretty, was a feat worth of Boatmurdered except it wasn't nearly as entertaining.
