For the main one, were you flipping the lever labeled "Main Entrance Control" or somesuch? Because it worked when I set it up.

No, I was flipping the one labeled "bridge lock."  Sounds like the one Sizik set up.  I tried it a bunch of times before I redid everything.

The only issue I can see is designing a new path to the outside to collect sand.

The second level below ground is all yellow sand, so no worries there.

It the pool of water in the magmaworks for using the "water covering" bug to melt creatures?

I didn't have any functionality in mind when I designed it.  I just wanted something that would lend itself to a cool story and be visually pleasing.  I think I may have stolen the idea of a hot tub from one or other of the forts Ive run across.

If the water covering bug does affect creatures in the hot tub, then I think someone should designate a pit in the level above it and have some fun...

How long did you wait between lever pulls? And was the power generator empty?

The power supply was running fine (there was over 2k power to the water pump stack), and I don't remember exactly how long I waited, but I think it was several days.

Is it alright If I take turn 20?
I can't Wait for my turn.
My plans involve windmills, water, pumps, gears, and axles.
Also, I'll start trying to whip our military into shape. Every soldier will get a war dog, If I get my way!
Also, I'll take some worthless camels, and have them explore all of the caves. all of them.

[IronVanguard]

And I'd like the turn after that, if I can.

You're already in line. Also, I skipped ShadowRHK, it's your turn now.

[Sizik]

Unless, by

Is it alright If I take turn 20?

you mean you want to skip your turn and go later.

[JoshBrickstien]

Alright. I'll start when I get back later tonight.

I mean set up another turn.

You get that after you finish your current one.

Call me stupid, but I can't find the save. I downloaded it, but the file just isn't there! I've never loaded another person's save before...

You're stupid.

Nah, I keed.

It will have downloaded to wherever your default download folder is (For Windows XP, that is in the documents > downloads folder) You have to move it into your save folder. (Dwarf Fortress\data\save, move the entire downloaded folder into the save folder.)

Alternatively, if the save (I haven't dled the save to see what it looks like) is the entire game folder, just open the folder (Again, in whatever default downloads folder you have) and start the .exe file. That will run a copy of the game (You cant access your own personal saves unless you move/copy the saves from your normal DF folder into the downloaded one) with the downloaded save.

Any other questions?

[Sizik]

Make sure it's in <DF folder>/data/save, and that it's not inside another folder (i.e. data/save/Skyscrapes should have various files in it along with the two raw folders).

Can I get a spot in here?  Bugs keep frustrating me and keeping me from running one of my own forts for longer than two years...

But now helping out with something this awesome for only one year?  I could manage that!

Ultimate Carl, about your avatar...

Why?

[Ultimate Carl]

Why?

Why not?  Commander Keen is awesome, and that's an actual easter egg from Keen 4. :P

I think it fits DF well, especially now that we have Ass Demons!
