Are we still on the first year?

[Impending Doom]

Yup. Early winter of 51. Now, it's not telling me my fortress is a deathtrap, just that it attracted no migrants this season. My only guess is that we haven't produced enough wealth to attract anyone.

[LegoLord]

Nope.  It's just that you've only had one caravan so far.  Migrants never come in the first year because there hasn't been a dwarven caravan yet.

Nope. You can get immigrants in first year, earliest for me was autumn.

[LegoLord]

After caravan or before?

It's possible to get them as early as the first summer.

But have to do some seriously epic stuff to do that. Or lucky.

I think I fix'd your quote, MM.

And I can easily get immigrants in autumn. Just mass-produced stone crafts, mined whatever I can (one piece of dug magnetite is quite worthy, mind you), gems dug and cut too, plenty of food and booze thanks to planter... and voila! 6-10 immigrants happily wander to my fortress before the winter.

[Keita]

I guess I'm still quite new at this then =\

[Impending Doom]

Okay, first year's over, with nothing particularly interesting happening.

I'm having an issue with the DF map compressor. The readme says that if I select one of the exported maps, the program will find and compile all other maps from that fortress taken on that date. But when I select a map to compress, it only compresses the one I selected. I tried shift+clicking and ctrl+clicking the maps, but neither works. Any ideas?

[Malrin]

Hello, I'd like to join the voyage.

Make me a Metalworker (Could set labours to all the metal-labours, or specialize in weapons or armor, doesn't matter) I'd like to help construct the Alcohol reactor/engine.

Also it'd be really cool if we could have another succession game when the next version is released, where our starship has crashed on the new planet, and we could keep a ship log to write down our discoveries on the new world. (Though it'd be another huge hassle to construct the crashed ship.)

um if its not too much i was going to suggest 2 Frigates to escort it just semi smaller ones that only fit two people. try not to get mad at me for the suggestion but i thought it out. because you never know what might be out there *wink*

[scuba]

!!! i wants a miner. named scuubs. male.

on the magma cannon idea make it so that a pressure plate activates a hatch that opens up in 1 or multiple areas acting as a shower of bombs shower of death

A vile force of darkness has warped in from sector 7D!

"Sir! Goblin vessel at 3'o clock! They're launching fighters!"

"Fire all magma cannons!"

*fantasizes*

[scuba]

that little play reminded me of a book. Warrior Brood. an attack vessel with a huge nose mounted cannon firing a red projectile that made the other ship completely explode.... and the other ships were all organic monsters bent on taking over the universe consuming all organic materials.
