Totally off-topic... but hey, it's MY thread... this particular Fort has both Pitchblende deposits (an ore of Uranium) AND several different Berylium-based gems, such as Aquamarine, Honey Beryl and Red Beryl. Berylium is a neutron-reflector.

Now all I need is a decent moderator... at a pinch, I suppose I could use Charcoal, or just flood the reactor-room with water; but I'd prefer to use Graphite if possible.

Anyone know which rock-type should be explored for Graphite deposits?

Got any lead? You might need it.

Lol, now if there was a word for radiation or radiactive in Dwarven.....

That was completely uncalled for.

Ok, ok, I editted. it.  Go click on it again.

"Engraved on the wall is a exceptionally designed image of dwarves and Pitchblende. The dwarves are vomiting. The Pitchblende is striking down the dwarves."

[Arachu]

A god of lust called Nolthag. His title is "Nightmarevoid the Carnal Sacks".

The god of treachery is "Azmol the Invisible Knots".

Dwarven rulers entitled "Dikecudgel", "Tooloaks", and "Testpaddles".

There's an Elven civilzation called "The Hairy Beans" with a ruler/parent of 10 called "Wildpacked". Another Elven leader is called "Beastgears".

Then there's the Goblins of "The Nasty Wraith" with their leader "Fataldevils the Seduction of Witches".

But I think the best are the humans inhabiting "The Taut Kingdoms", with their gods "Rislu Spikeflew", "Rosha Hoofwaxed" and "Wur Boldkey".

Did I mention the Dwarven civ of "The Confusing Door"? How about the land of "The Realm of Salves" and their god "Ata Leadknighted"?

All in the same world. Halfway down the list.

Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, dunnit?

EDIT: The world is "The Planets of Vision". It's like the Dwarves just discovered the Internet...

Yes, I know, 'twas my mistake.

I tried to name one of my forts "The Altar of Whoring," but the word "Whoring" did not appear when I did a search for it, even with my friend's custom word pack. The only related words were "whore" and "whores" so it must've been "whores."

...the words wife, husband, marriage, engage, fiance, and wedding don't appear in the game's dictionary, but WHORING does?  Aw, bloody hell.

If only my dream of making a fort to propose was instead of me making a fort to start my pimping career.  Then that would actually be helpful.

It's not in Vanilla DF.  The Lord Dakoth's friend modded it into his copy, he said.

Edit: Actually, I'm wrong.  It is in Vanilla DF.  At least, "whore" is.

I do indeed have Lead Ore (Galena). I assume that the best way to build a wall out of Lead is to refine the Ore and then cast the Lead into blocks, followed by constructing the wall out of Lead blocks.

the worst I've seen was one time on the embark screen there was a civ called the sack of hair.

It was altar that doesn't appear in the standard game.

And there's a legitimate need to have some negative words for evil place names and such. There's even an "untoward" symbol group, which aside from whore, contains such gems as: Anus, Bitch, Crotch, Incest, Nude, Piss, Rape, Slut And Buttock.

Whore is also in the broader "negative" symbol group featuring less naughty content such as: Anger, Blind, Chill, Dank, Famine, Pain, Ruin, Sickness.

Plus it's handy if you want to insult people in dwarvish behind their back.

You don't need to make the blocks; you can just build the walls out of the lead bars directly.

(For stones, blocks are twice as valuable.  For metals, there seems to be no difference.)

The dwarves also tend to like to sell animals in lead cages, if you need another supply.  Melting down a cage will give you one bar.

[Kalphoenix]

I never get far enough for engravings and artifacts, but one of the forts I genned had the name Illrod (I think?) which means "Joy Tunnel," which, while I found very dwarfy, could also be interpreted as perverted, I suppose.

I now like to name my fortresses "Joy Tunnel" and giggle.

Only if it menaces with spikes of green glass.

Had a perverted dwarf once, some urist towerdrill or something like that. He probably though himself quite the pornographic artist as to my mistake, he had decorated over half of my dining room with many horrible things. Urist really liked donkeys, he only engraved donkeys and dwarves. (mostly himself) With said donkeys.

The only place where metal blocks are required instead of bars is for building metal wells or roads, to my knowledge. Everything else can be built from either.

Roads do not require blocks - bars work just fine (even for paved roads).
