I don't know what they are, all I know is that when a dwarf walks through a certain area, they either lay down and crawl past the points or go around.

That's... odd.

Can't you use {k} to see what they are?

A floating creature (subject to the broken projectile bug) will be the creature's symbol on a light blue background. Anything like that? There must be something in the tile if dwarves are lying down, right? Does it always display a plain floor tile?

, . ; or somesuch?

Here is a picture of the invisible creature:

Hes next to the pillar in the vomit.

I tried building a wall on it:



I don't how it works. It's just like a ghost is there.

I didn't even read the thread, but considering the epicness of the previous Sparkgears I can say only one thing.
23'th is mine. And for the love of Armok, try and not leave me with smoking ruins and one dwarf. Make it regular ruins, two dwarfs, and some booze.

We don't take date, we just wait for the release, so take the save when it's upload ;) We don't have ruin, but we have magma flooded map :)

For the invisible creature, could you just ignore it?

sir labreck, how you manage to mangle English so much yet still manage to keep your posts comprehensible is beyond me. Well done.

So it's sweet, delicious anarchy then? Fits Sparkgear perfectly, but I'm not sitting here for the next 48 hours waiting for the save.

...or maybe I am. Time to make some coffee.

Progress Update:
Deaths: 3, it two separate magma related instances. No named dwarves, but I believe two were off duty military

Area's Lost to Magma: A portion of the magma viewing gallery.
Area's Taken from Magma: The forges. We know have steel bars again. And a lot of nickel ones.

Redesigning Pump-stack to use less power. It didn't work when I got it.

Death trap in progress. The next person to get the save must defuse it or suffer a magma flood.

Sky fort in progress. Our children shall live in the stars.

Large bridge to plateau is almost finished.

Old burial ground and farm area in the process of being drained and evaporated.


Separating the forges from the main magma flow was difficult. It involved a cave-in and a partial flooding of a storage area. Only a few masterwork pieces of clothing lost.


Masterwork engravings defaced by magma: >100

Cave-In did not kill the ghost.

I'll release the save in ~6 hours. I can't believe how much fun it is to play a Sparkgear.

JUst go ahead and grab the save and tell us you've started playing, since it seems that lordslowpoke is offline.

Right. I'll do what I can tonight. Let's see if we can't make some sense of this place.

Well. It's surprisingly... under control. Not too much is on fire and there's only that invisible siege. I think I've worked out the layout of the place, but nothing seems overly pressing...

I opened a bit wider of a route to the farms by accident, but hey. Nothing says Sparkgear like absurd, pointless tunnels.

Also, which is the Skytower? Is it the glass tower in the middle or is it the outcropping on the mountain? Should I be working on it?
