[Darvi]

Eh, since there's nobody else left, I'll sign up. No guarantee though that I won't screw this up.

[billybobfred]

Hey, it's my turn.

... I'm gonna have to go back and download .16 to play this, aren't I? Oh well, shouldn't take too long.

Actually, I think it's safe to update to .18. .19 added yarn though, which could well result in impossible moods, so I think we won't be updating past that.

[Graebeard]

Is the save compatible with .25?  Might be nice to take advantage of the speed increases if so.

Technically, I imagine it is, but like I said, yarn might make for impossible moods.

We... could turn artifacts off. This seems like a horrible, completely undwarvenly thing to do... but we could.

I'm definitely bumping it to .18, though.

[Kogut]

Wow. Just wow. This fort inspired me to make a tower-fort. It's going pretty slow, at this rate I'll have have done 50 levels (the height level) in about 25 years.

Also me. But I will do it without volcano and digging. And with FD mod. Posts in facepalm thread are coming!

Someone else on the forums had a yarn mood on a legacy fort. Adding yarn tags to Silk fixed it

[billybobfred]

Really?

Well, in that case, all the way to .25 it is. (i don't actually know which file silk is in or what "yarn tags" it needs though)

BUT. I have a lot of stuff going on today, so if Darvi or one of the many, many people who gave up their turn wants to go right now, they can. Otherwise I'll probably get started tomorrow.

[FearfulJesuit]

I'll take a turn. And after we reach 100, we need to change the layout of the tower so that it can support a magma pump-stack going all the way up to the top. How far down is the magma?

30 z-levels below the surface.

No need to re-design the tower.  Water and magma pump stacks currently make it up to the 55th floor above ground level.

[billybobfred]

All right, I added [YARN] to [MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:SILK_TEMPLATE], so that should save us from any impossible moods.

Didn't seem to crash the game, so I'm getting started now.

Then maybe...

I know this sounds absolutely bonkers, but dwarves can do anything- what if we obsidian casted an exact replica of the tower right next to it?

Complete with pump stacks, clear glass+magma royalty cube, and everything? :o

10th Granite, 1068
It's a marvel of dwarven engineering.

It's also completely incomprehensible.


And why do we have no military?


The king lives here?! and he's not being properly provided for?

Well, that's easy to fix, at least. I order some artifacts that are lying about to be installed in his rooms. A weapon rack, a rope, an animal trap, and a quern.

Hey, he didn't say they had to make sense.

I also get a report from a miner about "dangerous terrain". I have a quick look, and...


... It's an obsidian farm. Fascinating. The current orders are for it to be micromanaged and channeled out one row at a time. I've no idea why.

To be frank, I've no idea what's going on in this fort at all. I'm just going to continue the ribbon and call that my contribution.

12th Granite
In order to properly continue the ribbon, I'll need a set of masonry shops set up to produce nothing but orthoclase blocks. Currently, all the shops are next to "everything but orthoclase" stockpiles. The point being, I suppose, to not waste ribbon-worthy orthoclase on such things as doors and weapon racks.


Here will do.

4th Slate
There's a forgotten beast running around in the caverns, too. Some huge one-eyed swan with a bulging trunk, fluffed feathers, and poisonous gas.

I... think it can't get to us.

18th Slate

I may as well give myself a bedroom overseeing the process, after all, it was my idea. ... The block factory, not the ribbon itself.

6th Felsite
I've finally finished the unconstructed half-layers of the ribbon that the previous overseer left for me and started building it on my own. It's kind of intimidating...

(technically this happened a while ago but I forgot to mention it then)

12th Felsite
A carpenter has been possessed!

17th Felsite
She's started building... whatever it is. She's muttering "Dumurrab Rorashingish" over and over.

21st Felsite

An armor stand, eh?

1st Hematite
Summer has arrived. So far I've added two levels to the ribbon.

[Graebeard]

Sweeeeeeeet.  What kind of fps are you getting?

Sorry about the channeling thing at the obsidian farm.  I had a totally misguided notion of how to get trees and grass to grow up there.  Do whatever you want with it, just be careful: I kept accidentally causing caveins while I played around with the save.

[billybobfred]

I haven't turned on the FPS counter, but it's slow enough that I know it's lagging.
