[Lord Shonus]

Your dwarf is still alive.

Journal of Zon Uveliden, Armorer
2 Moonstone
With the previous overseer abandoning his post, I have taken over. My first order is for the restoration of the sabotaged stockpiles. Sadly, I was too late to save the dwarven liason who went insane and attacked several dwarves, being killed in the struggle.

Sweet Tea may be insane enough to think he’s a kobold, but he’s by far the greatest stonecrafter we have. Therefore, the fact that he was forbidden to do stone crafts is a mystery to me. I rescinded that order and ordered him to build his own workshop.

The time has come to break this siege. I’ve ordered the miners to dig out a bunker in the mountainside. Once complete, a squad of marksdwarves will fire upon the invaders.

Hey, I'm here!  Sorry I'm late, I didn't realize the drop time was 6:30 EST.  Ready to play it now.  Sounds like Shonus has the save, so I'm waiting for that upload.

Chances are good I'll be finishing up early tomorrow, I've got an errand to run right around this time.

[Lord Shonus]

Cool. Just let me upload the save.

Obviously knowing their time had come, the enemy has quit the field.

Capital! A vamari caravan has arrived. I’ve ordered the junk armor to be brought to the depot.

Here’s the frost giants, right on schedule

18 Moonstone
We’ve caught a pair of bugbear snatchers

The giants are gone. Labrek killed a few, along with many horses


I just got a supply of pearlash, so I started mining rock crystal and cobaltite. Make raw crystal glass, temper it into bars at the forg, then you make night crystal bars with the crystal bars and the cobaltite.

*:Find water is a top priority, but you can't just concentrate on that, just find the aquifer, take the first stone layer and do tunnel across the map.

How does that help?  I thought aquifers were only in certain sedimentary layers.  The first rocky layer sounds like we would end up digging under the aquifer, which isn't an immediate problem but doesn't help us locate (for some reason dwarves can't look up... I think their necks are too broad) and possibly causes problems should someone channel into an aquifer tile to make it leak into the halls underneath.

Hope you don't mind, but I have an idea for defense I'm going to try.  I'll keep it simple, and hopefully modular enough that someone could still use your plan.

[Lord Shonus]

Here's the save.

Awesome, starting now.

[sir labreck]

I don't mind, if you plan to use something else than basic trap that sound good to me, also mine is enough modular.

For aquifer, in fact, it's somewhere between the rock layer and sedimentary layer(probably in what we can could a sedimentary layer, but i hear about smoothing rock wall who hold back aquifer, you know where I direct that ^^). I have see the map, we have the first sedimentary layer (and the only) at least free of aquifer, so I estimate where it should be. See by yourself.

Great, I kill enemy :p We are on the good track.

[The Architect]

I suggest examining biomes in order to find the aquifer. From what everyone is posting it sounds like a partial.

[KenboCalrissian]

Odd... Why can't I forge a billon bucket?  It's the most abundant metal we have and I keep getting job-spammed about the lack of buckets, but no matter how many blacksmiths I assign no one will bother to make it, even if they have no job.

[Lord Shonus]

Check the forge profile. I set it so that only the legendary armorer could use it. Don't bother making buckets, though, unless you've struck water somewhere.

Edit: I've reclaimed the site with a buch of miners. I'm going to stip each layer until I find the aqufer.

[KenboCalrissian]

You should definitely point me to it if you find it first.  I'm looking in a few places myself, including up inside that mountain.  I mean, there's black sand there, so aquifer should be a possibility, right?

[Lord Shonus]

Just checked the biomes, and that should be the one place the aquifer is NOT.

[Lord Shonus]

Will Reveal show aquifers?

[darkflagrance]

Will Reveal show aquifers?

Yes

[Lord Shonus]

Then we don't have one.
