Once Ms. Potato's Bridge is erected, enable me for mechanics and build creature trigger able pressure plates, 3 of them at the north end of the bridge.  Then link them to the bridge.

All creatures set off the pressure plate, citizens do not.

in the ini file, you can find the lines that say this
[STORE_DIST_ITEM_DECREASE:20]
[STORE_DIST_SEED_COMBINE:1000]
[STORE_DIST_BUCKET_COMBINE:1000]
[STORE_DIST_BARREL_COMBINE:1000]
[STORE_DIST_BIN_COMBINE:1000]

which basically means that say you have a barrel with seeds in it, it will seem 1000 tiles closer to the dwarf. this i believe is the root of the problem, the dwarf wants to put something in a barrel, but it cant path to it. if you set these numbers very low(like say 2 for the top one and 4 for the other ones, it seems to help. i still got spamed because the dwarfs that were spamming it had no barrels, but i do believe that it helped the dwarfs that did have barrels.

you can name my dwarf Thor. at first he should set up a small underground cave home near the magma sea, with a small field of plump helmets. once he has a stable food supply, he/she should dig out a small cavern on the magma sea and build his metal fortress there.

Can I get a miner/metal industry, preferably male, named Bob either way.

And can s/he take over the area previously known as 'communism' + the piece of mountain cut by the brook?

[derekiv]

  I dug down to rock for some rooms for you and Captain, and I struck gold. Should I still build the rooms in the tunnel?

No, gold rooms are good!  Thanks!

Clarification: One room has two tiles of gold wall; I'll dig the tunnel to Gaxkang, and if I hit gold, I'll build the rooms there. Else, I'll dig out the vein and put the rooms there.

~help~

Thanks for the help, I'll dwarf you asap.

Check, will be dwarfed asap.

Is that a euphemism? If not, I'll get to work on it. :p

Cool, actually have some plans for that piece of mountain. But first, some orders for him/her.

1. collect some wood, either stealing, or chopping by self.
2. remove most of the ramps around that piece of mountain.
3. expand living area and try and start a farm on top of the piece of mountain (really need a better name for that...)
4. learn to make mechanisms, pumps, and waterwheels.

Can you make POI with the different burrows? I don't know which is mine.

[techno65535]

There's already POI of them.

[Sheb]

Okay, I somehow manage to skip that the last time.

[Sir Broccoli]

I'm also stealing that gold which is north of Broccoli's fortress.  Just ten of it.

Nooo! My gold!
Eh, it's not like I had any metalsmithing or whatever...

Anyway, the fort's looking good! I can't help but notice I'm in the middle of a microcline cluster. Order my dwarf to pave the floor on the other side of the river with it and decorate my entrance with microcline statues.
I appear to be one of those silly people who actually like microcline...

[derekiv]

Oh god, this got hard. Now that I have the 8 burrows there is so much cancellation spam that I spend half the time slapping the dwarves over the head to get them to drop what they're trying to carry. The updates won't be as frequent, and I can't accept any new players for now, but I will try to continue this fortress.

[melkorp]

Yeah, this sounded hard, but it's a great idea

[64-bit]

the worst part about that spam is, that once they realize they cant get somewhere, a few frames later they try and path again, which eats up your frame rate. i had one dwarf doing this, and it brought my fps down to about 40. with 16 dwarfs. on a relativity fast computer. i think i am going to do some science with burros, to figure out the silly qwerks and stuff.

[techno65535]

If the spam is for barrels/bins, why not give each burrow a 'pet' dwarf, who does nothing but take care of getting the things into the burrow/made that is causing the cancel spam?

[Stik]

If possible can i have a swords dwarf with anything  other then wood or bronze sword, il wait as long as needed, and i will join under anyone who accepts me.

I could use a trained sword.
