Why. Are. They. Bringing drunken children into the hospital?

[Fleeting Frames]

One time I embarked and I thought I had a really good start and then I realized I didn't load up any farmers.

Heh. I never bring any, myself.

One time I embarked and I thought I had a really good start and then I realized I didn't load up any farmers.

I never bring any, I just set a random dwarf to herbalist and he makes enough food to sustain my fort until I have a fulltime farmer.

I offered to the dwarven caravan a pile of cloth and goblets worth 2.5 million (approximated from created wealth) . Then I looked at exported wealth after the caravan left.

It did not count the 2.5 million in offerings, just the 12k I used to buy stuff with.


At least my fps will benefit.

I offered wooden bin to elves along with my bronze sceptres, thus forcing me to seize their black bear cage. At least I killed their diplomat.

And your way ahead of the game on that aspect of attracting the monarch.

       -Meanwhile, in the mountain homes-
Dwarf Noble: Your majesty, the tributes from the city of Earthrule have arrived. 
Dwarf Queen: Ah good, where are they? Show them to me.
    -10 dwarves walk in, each carrying a masterwork golden goblet-
Dwarf Queen: By Armok, look at these beautiful treasures. These goblets will be the centerpieces of my dinning room.
Dwarf Noble: These ones? They're just the first few they carried in.
Dwarf Queen: What? there's more? Take me to them.
   -They walk outside, and her jaw drops at seeing the massive pile of uncountable treasures-
Dwarf Queen: Sweet Armok!
Dwarf Noble: The merchants said they lost three dwarves to exhaustion trying to carry all of them. They were all loose for some reason.
Dwarf Queen: How many master metalworkers must have labored to make all these in within three years.
Dwarf Noble: Well, the records say these were all made by a 13 year old girl in around one year.
Dwarf Queen:...........

Setting up an automatic train route in factorio.

Got everything working just so.

Flipped the switch to automatic so I could ride the train and check to make sure everything works.

Forgot to get in train first. Was standing in front of train at time of activation of said train.

Choo choo

The first migration wave reached my fortress: the 9 dwarves entered the map... 2 squares away from a pack of wolves.

Only 3 migrants reached the entrance, while 2 more escaped, but couldn't make it: they are on the ground outside of the fortress, gravely wounded. I don't have any kind of hospital yet.

Signing up for this forum. And not playing the game. #thuglife
JK the hashtag, not the game thing though

Traders come to above ground trade outpost

Traders dump their leader, and leave

doesnt say they left tho

Look around in animals, they left behind a caged animal?

They left nearly everything behind..

[Thisfox]

I had traders freak out when a whole lot of kea men and women decided to fly very high over the trade depot, even though my dwarves always ignore them. Absolute carnage as they shot the kea men and women, and the flying people attacked.... and then my animals were scattered, and the traders eventually left. I'm moving the trade depot underground. Damn troublecausers.

[Ironfang]

I had a
Fun time of that happening with giant Keas. It ended with a herbalist getting caught in a kea's wings and getting choked to death. The keas didn't even steal anything, not even any of the herbalists gear or the nice free arrows the humans gave out.

The keas were just bloodthirsty. Greed is understandable, but this bird just wanted to see my dwarf die slowly.

[94dima94]

Man... those Giant Keas are bringing my fortress down, and they haven't done anything yet!

There is this flock that apparently enjoys showing up, flying above my fortress just low enough to scare every living thing outside, then leave.

My depot is there, so I sometimes have to wait for hours as the animals run away before trading.

My grazing animals are there, so I will sometimes have to stop all progress so my dwarves can gather everyone back.

It took me 4 times longer than usual to build a wall around the entrance, not to mention the INSANE delays in the construction of my tavern.

All for those damn keas.

Urist McBroker got his ass stuck on the other side of the river while the bridge was still under construction
