Breadbowl
King Sibrek Logemtad has eaten one plump helmet roast too many and decided that the dwarven kingdom needs better food. His highness, being both merciful
and pragmatic, summoned 7 dwarfs whose skills were of minimal use to a fully equipped mountain home. He then justly sentenced them to hammering for being useless and cluttering up the palace with their bodies.
However, in a truly magnamonous display of kindness, he granted these unrepentant layabouts a reprieve on the condition that they embark to a fertile location and start growing, gathering and farming every type of food imaginable. Understandably, being fond of their natural head shape, the 7 agreed.
As they left, the king confided in them that should they succeed, and the king find his larders stocked with much delicious rare food, they would not find him ungrateful...
This started out as a simple 2-week 1-year succession fort with a goal: export as much quantity and variety of food and drink as possible.
It has since become the ongoing saga of a peaceful (by dwarven standards) farming settlement, thriving unexpectedly on the surface in a world beset by war, beasts and tragedy. But nothing lasts forever, and Breadbowl has more enemies than most...
Rules *
Trade all your food and drink to every caravan. The elves and humans are considered couriers delivering to the Mountainhome. After every trade, you should have no prepared food or drink left.
-
(Obvious exception: you can't trade wooden barrels to elves)*
No buying food from the caravan. You'll need to produce your food, not buy it.
*
Underground crops are not allowed. -
Enclosed crops (aboveground crops underneath some sort of roof) are allowed, on one condition: the roof must be made of clear glass. This is likely to be a worthwhile investment despite the cost of clear glass, as it's quite possible an ill-timed siege could starve you out.*
Report how much food you trade each time. I'll keep a running tally in this post.
- For plot purposes, our goal is to feed every dwarf of The Old Nets, consisting of ~3570 dwarves.
- Per the wiki, each dwarf consumes 2 food, 4 drink per season. Therefore our Ultimate Production Goal is a bit shy of 30,000 food, 60,000 drink per year. (values subject to revision if The Old Nets population changes)The trading processAfter some 'sperimentation, this is the easiest way I've found to trade everything required and get an accurate count on how much you exported:
First off, move everything to the depot before you even attempt to trade. This includes:
* Everything in the drinks page. Say goodbye to your boozepile.
* There is no food page, so do a search for both "roast", and "prepared food", and trade everything under both searches. I've you make any biscuits or meals, trade those too.
Once everything is moved, visit the stocks screen to calculate your output. It will be as follows:
This definately worked for my original trade (I double checked against the main stocks screen for drink and the numbers in the trade depot for food), but if any future trades prove it in error, I'll update this methodology.
Finally, perform the trade itself. Trade everything in one hit. Don't worry about getting a good price: you won't need it. Stacks of roasts are very expensive anyway, and with the sheer number we'll be trading they'll give us anything we ask for and still leave suffering paroxysms of ecstasy.
Don't get too greedy though, lest the game suffer fps death from all the useless stuff they bring us.
More general rulesTurns
- Duration: 1 year or 2 weeks, whichever comes first.
- Turns will be skipped if you fail to respond or stop updating.
- Extensions past the 2-week point will be granted if you put a lot of work into high-quality updates.
Graphics
- You can use graphics sets, but for convenience's sake the save should always be converted back to ASCII when passing turns.
Exploits
- You can use your own judgement on what is and is not an exploit, but stay away from obvious hacks like danger rooms. Maintain the suspension of disbelief!
Editing the RAWs/Using DFHack
- Using utilities to simplify the game or recover FPS is fine. Anything the LazyNewbPack does by default is fine.
- Check with me if there's any doubt. I'll sign off on making creatures war-trainable or increasing merchant animals carrying capacity.
- Anything that involves changing dwarf stats or killing specific targets is cheating and thus completely unacceptable. Same goes for fastdwarf, reveal-all, etc.
Savescumming
- Savescumming is more acceptable here than in many forts, since Breadbowl doesn't run on chaos and mismanagement the way other forts do. But don't overuse it: from a narrative standpoint, the occasional massacre or accidental drowning is a good thing.
* feed every dwarf of The Old Nets.
* farms for every type of above-ground crop.
* separate pastures for every type of animal we have (more than one of) on the site
- (Exception: we can have a 'misc' pasture for animals we only have one of, but try not to mix the giant predator's with the adorable grazers)* breeding programs for as many different types of meats as possible, with special emphasis on rare, non-domestic varieties. Do good by the elves: you'll want them to bring as many animals as possible.
* cover as much surface area as possible with farms, pastures, roads and buildings.
For dorfing or a turn, ask and ye shall recieve.
