They coul send real food, but you know they are living underground.  Can't let them start to enjoy it

[RedKing]

Jose is ecstatic. He had a fine meal recently. He had to sleep on the ground recently. He admired a makeshift shelter recently.

Jose, Miner cancels task: Cannot find path to surface.

[DJ]

I just hope they get them out before the inevitable tantrum spiral.

[Dakk]

I surprised none of you guys ever heard of The Case of the Speluncean Explorers, its the single most dwarfy book I ever read for lawschool.

Anyways, do they have lights, or are they in complete darkness? Being in the dark with no awareness of day and night gotta be pretty darn disturbing.

[Jopax]

Just saw this on the TV, it seems that they have a legendary miner amongst them who probably responsible for their survival, also they are down there for almost a month, that's insane, considering they will spend another four there, i can only imagine what they will look like once they come out, dirty, smelly and heavily bearded, true dwarwes

have used electricity from a truck engine to rig up lighting

The hole is eight centimeters across. A harness will not work here.

A bonesaw might though. If you're not too picky about the condition of the extracted miners.

[Creamcorn]

The only two other things that would make this story even greater would be one, they get out alive and two if someone mods in a Chilean civilization into DF.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Another thread already showed that DF will gen regions with the proper elevation, climate, and geographic values to be almost the same as its real counterpart, so recreating Chile is fully plausable.

Once persistent multi-site stuff gets coded in better, somebody should do this. And then build the Nazca lines.

Wait, those are in Peru. Ah hell, do them anyways.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Please, once multi-site stuff gets coded better, we'll probably do somthing crazy. Like gening an accurate Earth and building an ultrahighway in a straight line around the whole thing. Including oceans.

[RedKing]

Made of nothing but microcline blocks.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

And because the tech level won't leave the 14th century, we will then cover the rest of the planet in pitchblend to force-create a radioactive wasteland (Assuming Toady allows radioactive elements to act radioactive at some point.)

[Trekkin]

Anyways, the Chilean gov't is sending down shit for them to drink and eat and stuff.

I take it they're already making stone crafts to trade for them?

In all seriousness though, hope they make it out okay.

[JoshuaFH]

How the heck are they gonna get food down an 8-centimeter hole? Is it just gonna be, like, a tube dripping down a nutrient-rich sludge or something?

What about ventilation? That's gotta be a serious concern.
