Or enlarge the first, making it even MORE self-sufficient! XD

XD  I suppose I could build a farm in there.  I already have people burrowed in there.  I tunneled under the river brook to the volcano and built up.  It's actually how my metalworkers get to magma.  I'll work on getting a farm going along with improving the seal in the tunnel.   A nice lever that obsidianizes the 'escape tunnel' would be nice.

Fix'd. You need to channel it before it becomes a minor river.

Would it be possible to get the Worldgen for this? I tried generating it from the save (using the LazyNewb pack), but it was unable to place rainfall, deserts, swamps, or <something else> (at which point I gave up).

Edit: Nevermind, it appears that Oslanzim isn't overly compatible with the LazyNewb/Phoebus Graphics package, which explains why I can't get an embarkable world out of the parameters.

[Grimlocke]

Graphics realy shouldnt influence the games mechanics at all, its just graphic after all. Try replacing your default raws with the ones from this save. And, what would you mean by a world being unembarkable?

On another subject, would it be ok to use a utility to clean up the blood thats spreading everywhere? Its slowly starting to paint my whole fort red and im getting a bit tired of all the ~s everywhere.

If so would anyone know which tool does this? Tried runesmith but that didnt work out.

I use LazyNewb/Phoebus package. When the warning comes up just hit p to accept them. The world will finish generating.

I assume you are copy/pasting the contents of the gen_param file to the end of the \data\init\world_gen.txt

there is no way to clean up blood in game that I know of

DF Hack does it

[Grimlocke]

Aha, didnt know DFhack came with its own set of tools. Very nice, finaly no more endless spreading of goblin blood.

Also, finished the bunker of updated the log.

[Scaraban]

I use LazyNewb, and it works just fine.

I'll have to try DFHack for the blood. Not so much for goblin blood as the spatter from dwarf wounds spread around after cleaning themselves. Indoors cleaning seems to have been improved a bit since 31.01, because what gets tracked inside has gotten cleaned up, but my well is never cleaned so the problem never just goes away. (It's roofed over, but outdoors, and 'inside' doesn't always mean 'inside' for job purposes. I could take the roof off and wait for rain...)

Finished my bunker, I'll update my log in the next day or so.

Updated and wish fulfilled.  I also have this to report:

[breadbocks]

Gratz. What's the trigger?

[SethCreiyd]

Thanks It's a bit strange, I never got a baron.  The diplomat left unhappy the year before my first siege since my mayor suffered an untimely death during the visit, but sometime during the next year I saw the "Becoming the Capital" tab on my nobles screen.  Then I just offered everything I had to the next caravan.  The Queen came in Slate the year after with her consort and thirty migrants.

Still have no other "royal" nobles.  No generals, champions, landholders, tax collectors, hammerers or dungeon masters have appeared.

To everyone who disputed my comments about LazyNewb incompatibility, thanks, I'll try again.

What I meant by "Unembarkable World" was that I gave up on generation after ignoring the 4th or 5th set of warnings & 2400 rejects, but I'll try again & go further this time.

By incompatible with LazyNewb, I suppose I should really have said I have no idea how to change the characterset in the save to Phoebus,  & if I don't, many words have strange characters in them and I have an icon set I don't recognise.

[Ledi]

Jafanz - as far as the world gen goes, tell it to ignore all warnings and make the world anyway. XD It should spit at you at the 500 mark, and that's the world that Oslanzim came from. It was the only way to get so many volcanoes near rivers.

Oh dear, Seth, the Queen is a Dabbling Kicker?  I'd make sure to be well away from that one should a mandate go unfulfilled.

I have no problems with using DFhack for blood cleanup. One day I'll have to play with that myself, but I've been too busy updating logs to play with my fort much, so nothing has bled yet. XD

[JAFANZ]

That worked, Thank you.

Restarting my Log...
Oh and HEY My queen is the same as your queen (well in name wise) Seth...
I have noticed a few differences with the damn things, like I had a King once before I lost my SECOND attempt to a Saving Error...
(Save Fort...... Oh this is taking a while...... "DF Has crashed due to an Error, would you like to report this".... FUCK!!!!)

Spoiler: Introduction (click to show/hide)

Who am I you ask… I am no one, a watcher and guide to the people, Shaman Warriors we are call though, those that fight and protect the people through the medium that is between the world and us. A place where the Gods wonder and amuse themselves, with their own needs and desires. But they ignore us, like the pebbles beneath our brethrens’ feet, only one pays us any mind and joins us in our watching and duties. Taking on a form of a Black Cat, who’s eyes are coloured to the point where they seem no existent and who’s fur appears like the tar and coal at the same time, fluid yet solid. This God goes by the name we all know, praise and fear above all other gods…

Armok…

When the First Shaman Warrior stepped foot into this realm Armok was there waiting, as if knowing his arrival was due, the Great God presented us with a Gift, the ability to guide our people and see them completely and wholly in the world we lived in. This “GIFT”, and I use the term loosely, is a weird tool that Armok has given us. Though he says that it was not of his creation, but that of a Godly One Toad. None the less it allows us as I have stated before to guide the construction of our forts through means of inspiration and also allows us to know of events and important means that have occurred in our outposts, like Artifacts of importance and the life and death of the people there, a useful tool but one wort with danger, many a Shaman have been driven mad with it, none the less I will prevail and guide these people to their goals. Or that of the Queen….

The Queen requested a unit of Dwarves to travel to this place, a place which most likely be their graves if one foot steps poorly. I will try my hardest to not allow that to happen to these dwarves. Though I am not with them I am in Sprit, the Black Cat that Armok had chosen to be his Avatar now sits on my lap in their Ethereal plane…

It is disturbing, but nonetheless I am able to guide this men and women in their attempts to please The Queen in her mad requests. I can’t help but eye here Advisor with a questioning look, he seems to hold something back when he watches the work unfold. There is a Feeling on the back of my spine, as if there are more Shaman Dwarves watching over their own charges in a parallel world or place. I feel that things may get mixed up if we are not careful…

The selections of goods seem wise though it is a little risky on what is needed, none the less they will be ready for the times ahead if they can make it all work, their was a small cart left there by the Prospectors, holding an Anvil and two Picks so the Dwarves felt that they could make their own equipment when needed, though they only worried about smelting the bars over making the best weapons and armour they could, I believe that this is a wise method, any fool can make a pick and axe to cut down the rock and wood before them, it will be ages before true weapons would be needed in the fort, taking large quantities of Coal, Cassiterite and Copper nuggets to make Bronze on their arrival, Dogs and Cattle they took aswell, these animals will be serving as the guards and meals of the future peoples, so perhaps this will do some good.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

Year 52, Granite 1st, Spring…
They arrived in the valley between these great mountainsides, finding the cart with anvil and picks still there, blessed luck. Though I could not see it, I ‘felt” Armok smile from this position taking pleasure with the site of the area these dwarves will build their homes at. Already their carpenter was taking down the carts and the others lugging all their goods to the small open area on the stone, two of the four miners grabbed the picks and began to carve ramps into the hills, making them more solid in their design and more defendable. The Smelter set to work by grabbing on of the stonepiles left behind from the work and began to build his workshop, no doubt he would be in there a long time. Only to come out when there were some gems to cut for the promised trade caravan coming near the end of autumn…

A Quick build Forge was built by one of the minersbefore he began to make the simple picks and axe he and the others would need from the Bronze his fellow dwarf was smelting. The Farmer on the other hand began to gather plants from the aboveground shrubs and fields to begin the process at starting simple farms here on the surface, it would take time to reach the underground that they sort…

Year 52, Hematite 1st, Summer…
Plans were made and designs were changed, I watched as parts of the fortplans were added and removed constantly with each passing day, there was an agreement and the miners began their work, I could hear the slight chuckle from Armok in my lap. I wish he would go bother some other Shaman Warrior, but no he has taken interest in this fort and its inhabitants…

It looked to be a Dome that covered the exterior of the Western Mountain Face that was to be built, meaning that the East part before the brook was to be carved down to ground level, what was once a great mountain side is now a Cliff face above a Brook, none the less I don’t see anyone coming down that anytime soon. The Miners carved away quickly and before we knew it the mountain was gone. Dwarven Miners are deadlier then ants and termites when it comes to soil and stone…

At the start of the last third of summer, the Miners had nearly finished their work on reshaping the Westernmountain, I saw from a distance a group of Migrants approaching the Outpost. But it was only until one of the Miners spotted them that it was known that they would have more hands shortly…

4 sets or hands approached the centre of the small encampment, the small tents that had been set in the area grew as those that had just arrived added their own, each showed signs of disappointment that there was no defined sleeping quarters for them yet, but they were quickly reminded that things were going to be different here…

It looked like things were moving on smoothly in the Outpost, a Hunter was preparing for his work, two worked on producing bricks for the wall that was to be built, the miners nearing completion on carving down the mountain sides and soon the planned Spiral Ramps to the Caverns would be started, and with the extra pick, things might move a little quicker…

Year 52, Limestone 1st, Autumn…

It has come to it, the Miners finished carving the Western mountainface to suit the plans, already it looked stronger and yet no construction of the planned dome had even started. The Miners began looking towards the rockfront and picked their places well and began digging their Ramps…

The size of the Militia swell to two Crossbowmen, the current commander steps down for the new blood who not only is skilled with the Crossbow but the blade as well, It seems that the Militia will be carrying Swords for their defence aswell now…

Near the end of the Season the first Spiral broke into the Caverns. The second is being planned now, soon they shall begin to live down there as they build the dome over their entrance. The Farmer seems like he is ready to plant though he lacks the seeds due to foresight saying that they would be a waste to bring, none the less some parts for a Corkscrew Pump are going to be built, and when the Dwarven Caravan arrives, seeds will be bought from them…

Year 52, Moonstone 1st, Winter…

The Caravan came and I saw Gems moved to the Depot, seeds and bags, cloth and leather, meats and fish. These were bought with a nice profit for the merchant, perhaps then he would arrive earlier for these dwarves next time…

The second Spiral had been started, and the last floor ready to be shaped to the right path, I believe that next year the Dwarves will be moving into the Caverns and claiming them as their own. The Masons work to build the wall but are slowed the construction to prepare the materials. While the Two Dwarf Militia work at their melee skills, trying to get them to a good standard before moving back to their archery work…

The year comes to the end, the Miners approach the final parts of the second spiral, soon it will be finished and the Dwarves are ready to shift they resources down into the Cavern and the walls were to be built and finished. The Booze was falling to a all time low and the Farmer was reminded that he was spos to be covering the duties of supplying the Fort with drink, none the less he is working on it now…

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

With the turning of Years End and the Beginning of New Year coming and going I take notice that the time for my annual report is due, perhaps the Queen will be happy with the work so far and not challenge these Dwarves too soon with here ridiculous desires. Armok chuckled as I began writing out my final report and I heard him murmur something, though it was not directed to me, more like to the dwarves he had been watching, I will add it for I feel that it is important…

“With each year that passes, I will expect more from you and your kind, while most think I am crazed and lust for blood and destruction, though right, I also see to watch for the amusement and events that unfold. Entertain me well and I think that will quench my thirst and not raise my hunger….”

I fear that Armok might be taking a Little TOO much notice of this small fort. Perhaps I should try and advise them to build their defensive wall and begin their militia soon…
