[Dame de la Licorne]

I've never managed to get high quantity of mead in any fortress, and as far as I can tell, beekeeping levels up *very* slowly.

Yes it does, but there is the satisfaction in managing to satisfy one of the more difficult yet possible wants.

At least bees are pretty common, biome-wise. Not like those plants that have only chance to grow in their biome :p

Still, given beekeeping's effort and features compared to other food industries or even getting adamantine it seems like a modding pack bait.

Well, if I can remember the production chain off the top of my head,

It's hives, 1/3rd for split, 2/3rd for production -> press + jug -> make mead job -> profit. I can make both the hives and jugs from fire clay which helps a lot, and then get production going. Might be worth going now, it takes a LOT of time to get enough bees to get a good amount of honey going. I dunno if I'll be playing later today

Perhaps, but if it is just for a single dwarf child for over a decade, they can appropriately make their own mead, in their own beekeeping quarters near the hospital. Then, if they die, there is no longer need to make mead too.

(For a single hive, 2 drinks per season, 3 seasons to get mead, 5 drink per brew...Eh, it's close, especially when given meadskin.)

These lamds now comtain life.
Life, is hope.
Hope, will keep us alive.
FOR THE DWARVES!!!

I thought about some stuff, and mead's the best drink for the little baby ones is mead. Two hives and a bit of jugs should do, I think. We won't need too much of it, as few as we are. Heh.

Oh.

[NCommander]

Oh.

It's community, though you'll get a dwarf and can RP if you like.

Right now, I think I broke the game. I'm getting a forgotten beast a season. Cavern II has become Beastopia, and I've got a rather scary three webbers down there right now. A giant mole killed off another one, so I've got four FB on the map entotal.

Um.  Did we get the entire world mad at us somehow?  What did our ancestors DO?

Edit: Did you generate a pocket/smaller size world, or play with the megabeast/cavern settings during world generation?

The game is very determined to make sure I don't get another single log. I've got my to-be-marksmen training as hammerdwarfs right now in an attempt to build up their discipline, and I'm probably going to cave and give them iron or bronze armor.

Here's the save: http://dffd.bay12games.com/submit.php?action=message&fid=12204

I decided to see what was going on and ran reveal to check the caverns. In addition to the bad year blimps in the caverns, I've got hostile animal people down there *with blowguns*. I've never seen a blowgun in game but I vaguely remember they're distributing lethal when I tried them in the object testing arena ...

It's a medium sized world, but I genned it with the highest beasts/savagery. I still don't usually get a picket line of evil in the depths though ...

[NCommander]

Oh screw me, the newest webber that showed up CAN FLY. The caverns are sealed, but that's a fortress ending threat right now.

The last time I ran into those...you're probably going to want the best anti-blunt armor you can make.  Just saying.  Unless they've been adjusted/fixed since (I haven't run into them since the shift to the 42.xx series so I may quite a bit out of date).

Uh.  Oh.  This...is going to be !!FUN!!.
