Shells for artifacts
« on: March 29, 2009, 02:03:29 pm »
My miner wants some rock, cut gems and shells. The first two are no problem, but I can't find any turtles or lobsters. What should I do?

There's something to be said about a game where people are having a straight-faced discussion about smelting fish and the logistical problems that come with that.

Pray you get a caravan for shells.
Or set every dwarf to fishing duty, hope they find a turtle, and butcher that turtle as quickly as possible!

He's my favourite miner, too. Not  to mention legendary, a founder and named after me.
Fortunately, I've discovered a pond which I didn't know I had, and have set it as a fishing zone.

Turtles are EVERYWHERE, you can melt a 1x1 pool inside a glacier and the pool will magically spawn turtles.

Just make sure that your dwarves eat the turtles so that you have some shells

It's a funny idea, that when dwarves put turtle in a meal, it goes in shell and all...

"Zon Ironstomach has been quite content lately. He had a truly decadent drink lately. He had a legendary meal lately. He has been forced to digest shell lately. He has suffered severe internal injuries lately. He has admired a wonderful coffin lately."
