The save probably.

I heard adamantine sucks for hammers, because it's so light. Make adamantine picks for the miners to use. And perhaps adamantine axes for everyone else (and give them all woodcutter job, so they pick up axes) so they have some chance if they end up in a fight, though without armor, this could get really messy in case of tantrums.

[Darvi]

That's exactly why I wanted to make an adamantine hammer. For the hammerer. Which we don't have. So that he doesn't kill people with it.

Anyways, feel free to use my image as a guideline to mine away the adamantine without having to buy tickets.

What won't show up?

The save. I unzip the RAR, put it in the save folder and it doesn't show up when I launch the game.

[Graebeard]

Are you using .25?

The save. I unzip the RAR, put it in the save folder and it doesn't show up when I launch the game.

make sure it's not in a folder save\skyscrapes\skyscrapes, because if you go "extract to folder" with winRar, this is how it ended up for me.

BTW i had a quick peek at the save file, and a goddamn FB got in! I saved it with him inside, then reloaded the original, trying to see where he got in, but he wouldn't path in a second time

Well then I'll be able to post on Monday. Sorry. But that's how the cookie crumbles.

[Darvi]

As long as you build everything from 81 on out of gold and put a balcony there :3

Right, downloading now...

OK, it's hovering at about 30-40 fps and I'm damned if I know what the hell is going on.

Oh, it's late autumn! So the caravan arrived.

I'm currently just kind of looking around the fort. And holy fuck that's a lot of coffins. What is it with those pumps on level 4?

AND WHY THE FUCKING HELL ARE THERE 37 DEAD CHILDREN? WHAT IS IT WITH THIS PLACE?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Damn metalsmith. Well, she won't be missed after she removes the floor she's standing on, as she has no friends and her husband is dead. I place more coffins to handle her and the random skeleton down on ground level.

I'll dorf a furnace operator- dhokarena56, Born Cubic and the Wisest Dwarf. He receives an all-gold bedroom with a clear glass cabinet, 2 rose gold armor stands AND an artifact oak armor stand, 2 rose gold bins and 2 all-emerald gem windows, as well as an all-gold tomb with a platinum sarcophagus and 2 platinum statues, and an all-gold dining room with a platinum chair, a platinum table, and 2 platinum statues. The tomb and dining room also have artifact querns in them.

Also I really think we should move eating arrangements to a higher level than currently.

So here's what I really think we should do. We should create a system in which, at the pull of a lever, the entire damn thing just collapses. Alternatively, we could make a multi-level dwarfputer.

Enjoy! Who's up next?

Well that was an underwhelming update.
Why would you want to make a dwarfputer anyway? Same thing with the selfdestruct lever; when there's a lever, someone will inevitably come around and pull it. It doesn't even have to be unlabeled - its effects can be thoroughly documented, it could have platinum exclamation mark-shaped walls all around it and you could still be sure that eventually, someone, somehow would pull that lever.

Yes. Yes, they would do that. I think you're forgetting the whole point of Dwarf Fortress.

To pointlessly and instantly ruin 80 levels' worth of other people's work? That's just fail, no fun to be had there.

4. The levels of the tower can be designed in any way you desire, as long as it won't easily collapse (e.g. with the pull of a lever). Be sure to roof over any sections of the tower you want to be considered "inside", as there might not be a floor directly above it.

Levers that destroy the whole fort--

... yeah, that.
