also I'm the one making weapons, don't mess with me too much or you'll wake up dead.  Just kidding, though as a soldier you won't get very good gear if I don't like you... not kidding.

[bowdown2q]

worry about what things are made of once we aren't worrying about being ALIVE.

[kilakan]

I only have the bauxite at the moment, and I need it to KEEP us alive... they don't need mechanisms to keep us alive

[Shadowfury333]

So, should I just make tables and chairs out of the stone I find in the ground? Oh wait, it's all clay.

[FuzzyZergling]

We'll have stone next week, or the week later if something goes wrong.
I suggest giving surface industries priority with what we have, until we get more raw materials.

[Sneevil]

Well i could sacrifice some of my hunting time to chop some wood if we are stuck without stone for a week then we'll have beds and wooden furniture to ease the madness

[monk12]

Welp, I'm in a bit of a rush so I'm not going to pretty this up much:

Crutch: 3
Bucket: 1
Cave Spider Silk Thread: 3
Lye: 5
Splint: 4
Dwarven Wine: 40 (across 4 barrel)
Bauxite: 11
Assorted Cheap Meat: 20 (across 20 barrel)
Plump Helmet Spawn
Copper Crossbow
Copper Bolts: 10
Dwarven Ale: 20 (across 2 barrels)
Cave Fish: 35
Fungiwood: 3
Cow's Milk: 23 (across 3 barrel)
Plump Helmets: 15 (across 3 barrel)
Dwarven Beer: 20 (across 2 barrel)
Rock Nuts: 20
Pig Tail Seeds: 20
Cave Wheat Seeds: 22
Copper Nuggets: 10
Cassiterite: 10
Saquaro Rib Wood: 6
Galena: 1
Dwarven Rum: 40 (across 4 barrel)
Dog Sweetbread: 10 (across 1 barrel)

After the first week inaccuracy will set in, as nobody remembers who brought what and where they put it and who used it. Which is apparently already happening.

Notably, you have 11 bauxite, 6 saquaro rib wood, 3 fungiwood, and another 3 fungiwood that is in the wagon to use as building materials. Kilakan AND Frelock brought bauxite with them.

In the future, if there is an item that 2 people want to use then the person with the highest agility gets to it first. Additionally, if materials are being produced by somebody else during the week you can use them, but you will do less in the course of your week. For example, if there had been no stone and Shadow spent his entire week digging for it, then your actions would execute in agility order as stone was procured. This would slow Bowdown2Q the least as he only builds a butchers shop, and Kilikan the most as the wait significantly cuts into his shop building time, the net effect being that he smelts fewer things.

But yeah, you've got building materials kick'n around. Its helpful to me if you bold your official actions for when I skim the thread for them later, but I'm not gonna be a bitch about it. And having stirred the pot, I'm off!

God I love this game.

[Frelock]

I just realized the whole "two people brought bauxite" thing.  You can keep your five, kilakan, and I'll keep my six.  I'm sure we're going to run into other magma-safe stones, I just like bauxite for its blood-red color and high aluminum content, not to mention its nostalgic appeal.

[kilakan]

well that whole arguement was fail.. 

[monk12]

Yeah, I was laughing my ass off when I realized what had happened.

Also, if not otherwise specified I'll assume that your map has North at the top. I forgot that these forums come with that capability- if I get ambitious I'll make some more accurate maps that way.

Don't forget you have alt-numpad for many symbols and the wiki for workshop tiles, and stone tiles if you really want to, but colours don't work in code mode.

I'm on a laptop with no numpad, but hopefully I'll figure it out. Incidentally, as it stands you will dig out everything except the 8x4 barracks area. I'll be plopping the farm in the hallway, which won't effect either the movement of creatures through that space nor the yield of the crop.

[Shadowfury333]

I'm on a laptop with no numpad, but hopefully I'll figure it out. Incidentally, as it stands you will dig out everything except the 8x4 barracks area.

Okay. Also, for laptops, usually the numlock function changes some letters to a numpad. It does have to be turned on only when necessary, but it should do the trick. The fn key will also do it temporarily, but fn+alt+numpad can be cumbersome to type and it didn't seem reliable when I tried it.

EDIT: It looks like teletype mode ([ tt ][ /tt ]) works quite well. I can get foreground colour, and maybe there is a way to do background. Tables may work for that, I don't know. Here's an example map from where I should be by next week. The colour options aren't great, though. Still, it's an option you might find useful.

Alternately, use the wiki's Rawtile template and take a screenshot.

That is damn sexy, Shadow. I shall invest some time in experimenting with that.

But for now, update. I'm writing things up now, go ahead and pop back in in half an hour or so and I'll have the update done.

Ok, so its a work in progress. Undergrotto wasn't built in a day.

COMPLICATION: New wildlife has moved into the vicinity of Cloisteredtombs.

To the east, a pack of 7 wolves is wandering out of The Future Jungles.
To the north, a group of 4 hoary marmots is descending The Dutiful Barb.
To the south, the Sea of Eels is distressingly quiet.

JOBS: Build Butcher shop, Tannery

BAM. One Bauxite Butchers shop, One Bauxite Tannery. Man you are good. You then make various and sundry threats to the cats, who disdain to acknowledge you. Traitorous bastards.

Modul "Tweak" Mostsilver, Mechanic

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

JOBS: Build Mechanics shop, Help Farm

With your help, the farm is quickly irrigated and set. You can build a Mechanics shop where you want as soon as its dug, and still help Fuzz get the Fortress Farm off to a smashing start. Rumor has it that Kib wants to build a Carpentry shop where you want the Mechanics shop though, the stupid git.

Tulon Lensstream, Hunter

JOBS: Build Craftdwarfs Shop, Hunt

Ta durr! One Fungiwood Craftdwarfs shop, neat as can be. That done, you grab your crossbow and bolts and begin searching for something to hunt. Heading uphill, you see the Hoary Marmots and begin sneaking up on the group. [1]+2  Unfortunately, you are spotted well outside crossbow range and the Marmots scatter to your left and right. THE CHASE BEGINS.

Fuzz Oiledsparce, Farmer

JOB: Build Farm Plot, Plant Field

Fuzz, with the help of Modul, is able to quickly irrigate and create a farm plot. With Modul to help with hauling, Fuzz expects to have the entire plot filled with rock nuts by the end of the week!

Khan Blacklight, Metalsmith

JOBS: Build Smelter, Build Metalsmiths Forge, Build Wood Burner, Burn Wood, Smelt Bronze Bars (use ore), Forge Bronze Battleaxe

You spring into action, and soon a veritable industry springs into being around the entrance of the fort. Unfortunately, the travel time builds up quickly: You anticipate being able to get everything done except the bronze battleaxe, which you can forge early next week.

Vismil Blackhoof, Hammerdwarf

NPC JOB: Haul Shit

You help Khan throw up the many buildings he made over the last three days. You can supply another action for the rest of the week, or if NPC'd you will continue helping him haul shit.

Kib Koganobul, Miner

JOBS: Dig

Dig dig dig. Nothing to see here, just some dirt. But hey, XP get!

I'll do up a proper Status of Cloisteredtombs bit tomorrow. You can change your action if you would like; unless otherwise specified, you'll continue with your original plan.

[FuzzyZergling]

Keep up with the farmwork!

[Frelock]

Continue the essential task of getting the farm up and running.  Mechanic's shop when space is dug out.
