Yet another quick update since I wasn't able to play much




From the journal of Deathsword, Over-Mechanist

One of our soldiers has just bled to death, or so the others tell me. He was covered in the beast’s extract. This can’t be good.

I am preparing myself to activate the magma purge if it comes to that. I’ll be moving to New Ardendikes, just to be sure.

A mechanic just died... and a miller has touched his corpse. Oh shit. Shit shit shit shit.

Half of our military is infected, I think. They still have to show symptoms.

A runner says Mayor Duck has banned the export of steel items. He sure loves steel doesn’t he?

That lever… it calls to me… I must order it pulled…



One of our gem setter has been possessed by a ghost, or so he claims. He threw a tantrum while at it.

I pulled the lever and… nothing. Oh well. Oh and the caravan has arrived.

Hmmm it's too late to suggest this but maybe it's a good idea to seperate the fort proper from the outside world and have a small sub area for the military, use airlocks and dump holes to supply food, or maybe some off duty military doing farming/brewing?

[da_nang]

Another magma purge, you say? Well if history serves me correctly... What about all the doors I madly put back in place? I still have payments on them!

[Teneb]

The military dorfs haven't died yet, aside from the initial 2. I guess that while their armor is infected they haven't touched the extract yet. So no changing equipment on them

[Urist McDwarfFortress]

You could try putting up a little trench somewhere and fill it with 2 or 3 units of water, then have the soldiers with infected armor walk through it to wash it off.  Be sure to floor over it or obsidian cast it or something when you're done!

[Teneb]

Things are going slow. It's still early winter.

New entrance nearly complete. New Fun Lever installed. Small portion of fortress flooded (with water) by accident.

EDIT: Oh, and now another small part of the fortress was flooded by magma while I tried to re-connect the brook.

[MarcAFK]

If someone wearing infected armour takes it off to dump it does he get the goo on himself? Or will it just stay on the gauntlets?

Yet another small update


From the journal of Deathsword, Over-Mechanist


For reasons unknown, I’ve placed a lever that will deploy a surprise to the next overseer.



There was an... accident while digging a cleaning pit. Our best masons are trying to contain the resulting flood.

Well, they weren’t able to reach the site in time, so I’ve locked them doors that lead to the area. Hopefully, no one will even notice.



Winter has arrived. About bloody time.



A dwarf has bled to death while on the surface. I have no idea why, since he had no traces of the infection on him.



The soldiers have been cleaned, however a dog and a cat walked into the now-infected cleaning trench. Fuck. The cat died soon after.


Oh look, it’s snowing. The brook should be reconnected now… or it would be, were it not frozen.

[Daetrin]

Not having much luck lately are we?
Still it's good to see a succession fort still going after such a long time, can i sign up to the bottom of the list?
I haven't even read half of this game so far so it should be rather interesting

You're on the list.

Updates

Is the magma purge still actually working?
Good thing we didn't need it, though.

No, the windmill at the top was missing for some reason and I can't see a water reactor. The game won't let me build a windmill claiming that I have no logs, wich is untrue, of course.

Let's just say that it's possible that theoretically it could potentially have been removed by one insane dwarf with a magma-fetish. Hypothetically speaking, of course.

[MarcAFK]

Maybe your logs or the windmill are inaccessable?

[Teneb]

Neither are. I've even tried to build a windmill a few tiles away from the newly-harvested logs, and it keeps giving me that message.


EDIT: just turned on fps counter, game running at about 13 fps, probably due to the ever-burning artifacts. I guess I should be proud my machine can even run it.


EDIT: BREAKING NEWS! One of the burning things on the magma moat has finally turned to ash.

Is katana and his assistant still in their in my iron fort?

They are still alive, but only the assistant is in the fort.
