So, there aren't any aquifers or plants/trees on the map. Any desert survival tips?

[MaximumZero]

Dig to the caverns! Quickly. There you will find both replenishing wood and probably lots of water.

[Gatleos]

Alright, hopefully I won't get mauled by a gelatinous zebra like my last fort did...

[MaximumZero]

You could always claim a bit of land and water, wall off all the edges and staunchly protect the water from weird creatures. Or, if any show up, Runesmith 'em dead. I love that program. ^_^

[Gatleos]

The plan for now:

Start a small farm on the surface, wall it off and hide inside. Buy above-ground seeds from the first caravan. Cut down trees in the cavern, make food and booze. Bide my time until I can move to the summit and begin construction of the main fort.

[MaximumZero]

Sounds good. Gonna do a journal? I imagine that it would be extremely interesting.

[Gatleos]

Assuming we're not brutally slaughtered by goblin sieges and cave swallow men, I'll continue on here. Dying within a year of embark wouldn't be a very good story, after all. But assuming I do survive, this will be the site of the great glass magmafort in the clouds!

[MaximumZero]

Do you have Stonesense? If/when you get it completed, you should post marvelous pictures.

[breadbocks]

How about a turtle, with elephants on its back, with magmafalls, and the magmacastle on top of the elephants, with the kangaroo on top?

Okay, now I'm just being silly. I need to stop that. </silly> There, that should work.

That won't work. You need to bracket it like so:

As for the project, you'll need be underground. Dig down to the first cavern. Wall and roof off a 20x20 area. Make a 5x5 farm. Have a 1x1 staircase going up to the surface where you have your wall'd off, with a moat, with one 3x3 drawbridge connecting you to the outside world. Roof over that too. That will keep you largely safe. You will need to be under ground for easy access to the trees, for ash, and dig up as much coal and lignite as you can, or find magma for the kiln and furnace.

[Gatleos]

So you see, I was tunneling for magma when...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Yeah, I guess that's about it for this embark. The glass magma castle WILL survive, however.

Wait. Is that a Clown Car? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu....................................

[Snook]

Whats going on in that screen?

[Urist Imiknorris]

And then Gatleos was demons.

[Toast024]

What the carp is going on with that screen?

[breadbocks]

Again, is that a clown car?
