DeathPit - A difficult start
So far so good.
But when I look at this...
... Well, I have the feeling that things could go very wrong very fast.
What are our supplies ? Not much : we have 0 food. 44 drinks. 1 anvil. 7 Picks and 3 wood logs.
Hoo, and we have a cow and a horse. Both female. So that's good I guess.
Let's do this !!
My long term goal is to get outside. But the road is long to go there.
- The immediate urge is to get the fools into safety. We need a safe place to establish a base.
- Then, will come the problem of food.
- After that, drinks will become problematic, so we'll need to figure this out.
- After we have a secured base with infinite food and drinks, I'll start reclaiming the layers. But one thing at a time.
First ! Into safety !!!
This...
...is all we have.
And it is just barely enough to reach...
...this lovely candy spire !
Once the 3 stairs are in place, I can dig into the spire. And TADA !!
Achievement get !
It must be some world record or something to reach adamantine after less than a week of play ! =D
These dorfs are maybe less useless than I though..
I ordered the miners to dig a hidy hole inside the spire.
This will do nicely ! All this free
candy stone available !
Unabling raw to be built (not something you do every morning
)
And, let's build !
OK.
The dorfs are out of Hell.
I built candy walls to block the demons. They won't get into our base.
I kept a way in Hell... Just in case. I can lower the candy bridge if I need to.
We established inside the SMR. We have candy floor. Very shiny. But not a lot of room.
The stocks are now all inside. Everything we need is here. In these 46 tiles. Miles below Earth.
We floored the open spaces. So there is no way for the demons in.... And no way for us out.
But we're alive.
And lucky to be alive too.
I can hear prehistorical demons roaming near our Hell entrance.
They are back. To remind us we're screwed.
We are trapped.
It's time for expansion ! Digging more rooms and discovering magma sea.
The dwarves are in trouble that is for sure. Surrendered by magma and demons.
Magma sea. Done !
Shiny stuff won't be a problem.
We have 5z layers like this one at least, FTM.
We a quite some economy now.
Stocks are assessed. They are not good.
It's been more than a month now. We need food !
React ! We must react ! First, let's dig a magma room !
Ok, then some smelting !
Now, some bucket action.
We have two female animals. We can't waste the 10 potential cheese they can give.
This cheese will buy us time.
But with the cows starving, I can't not butcher them.
So let's do it !
Sure enough, some annoyance occur with the butchering.
But my magma dump gets rid of the body parts quickly.
That's the food problem sorted out.
For now.
We are not out of trouble yet.
We will have to move up.
That was a tough Spring.
