Does anyone else have any rituals they must do whenever they play?

I must have every wall/floor smoothed and the same colour, I ever go as far as digging out any rock that isn't the same colour and replacing it with walls and building then deconstructing floors so the tile underneath becomes the correct colour, I'd say I spend 70% of my playing time doing this.

When I first saw this thread, I went like this:

But yes...  any structures built must be of uniformly colored material, and ideally, so is any furniture in those structures.

The title was designed to catch your attention.

build a small shrine to raccoons with food and glass to stop them walking through all my weapon traps :<

I try to make my workshops out of as many different colors as possible, to the point where I will almost cause everything to die of thirst just to make my stills look different from the fisheries.

Do adventure mode analities count?

Sure

Well, every time I start a new adventurer, I designate a mead hall "home". I then steal barrels and place them in my "home". I then bring "home" all the heads I take and shove them in the barrels, in alphabetical order based on species. (It's easy to tell Elves from Humans from Dwarves from Goblins by their names alone, so it's a lot less difficult than it sounds.)

Every fortress I build starts out as the same cross-based layout and grows into something else from there.

I always build my food stock piles south of my farms, with a dining hall inbetween. The dwarves fill the stockpile from the north, so it's a few less steps from field to storage, and storage to table. Probably a trivial optimization, but I've just got to do it.

Name the most badass dwarf after myself and give him rooms worthy of a king & a tomb of the same calibre, then train him in the art of war, and give him all my best equipment.

I always build my farm under my food storage/brewer/kitchen for the same reason... even though after the first 2-3 years I give up on farming for a few years because I have too much food and I never build a dining hall..

I have to give every dwarf a new name that has to do with their profession (or the profession I want them to have).  Sometimes this makes me really stretch my vocabulary.   My husband thinks I'm crazy to do it that way, but there is a method to the madness.

Also, I restart the game whenever a child dies.  Might be why I never get very far... o_O

I'm sure there's other things, but I can't remember them right now; it's 3:24 am for me.


Oooo, I just thought of another one.  I only chop down a tree if there's another tree touching it.

Lady, you are messed up.
Why didn't I meet you before you got married?

I jest, I jest!

Heh.  At least you acknowledged that I could be a lady and not just a man, since we all know there are no women on the internet.
