I seem to recall a certain very long lived 2D era fortress having moss... also algae, or maybe it was just the algae.

Oh, and now there's algae too?!

Don't think of it as being besieged by thralls/husks, think of it as having your own personal moat of life hating mutilated menaces

Now wall yourself in quickly

Before you know it, we'll be hearing about lichen and mold.

I'm pretty sure I found some yeast by products in one of my forts, maybe you should keep your eyes open for that too.

Would be nice if instead of abandoning you could set your fort to 'automagic' mode and have it become a new dorfen stronghold.

But only if you've survived at least two years' sieges, created 5 artifacts, and have a ruling noble who is happy. (That last one will be hard).

I wouldn't actually mind if it had some requirements, i just wish i didn't have to abandon all my hard work, especially if my fort is the new Mountainholm (on the middle of a desert plain with no mountain in sight, but whatever.).

Moss, totally rad.  Never even seen or heard of this before.  Nice find.

Maybe it's because I always play in cold bio domes?

I just found this while browsing the current development area of the site, under the bloats that are considered for future versions of DF :

Quote from: bay12games
# Bloat318, VARIOUS GRASSES, (Future): Specific grass types associated by midmap square, rather than just 'grass'. Moss could also afford to occur in places other than old sites.

So this seems to confirm that it can currently only occur on old fortresses and ruins. It also suggest that in the future, it could be all over the place.

Wow... I've never noticed that... Then again my fortresses usually don't last more than two years.
mine are lucky if they last two months
