Bumping for update

Year 3 in laboredlash.






Not alot has changed... started on a bridge, z-1 is dug out.. how do I pop open the ground there will be a pit?

[TolyK]

well it seems that you're using ... staircases for the moat? actually, a very good idea! then channel them out (left to right to prevent minoers getting caught and/or escape paths)

I don't suggest filling with water, that'll let spooky goblins riding cave crocodiles get in your fort by swimming.

have fun!

im not sure if you understand check out the second pic, to the south, it's not made of one row... I need i good way to knock out the floor above...

[twilightdusk]

You don't actually need a moat under the bridge you're making. Their existence makes retracting bridges useful, but you probably want a drawbridge anyway. Retracting bridges can be built anywhere as long as the entirety of one side is accessible to your dwarves for building. For drawbridges, the side it's going to open from needs to be on solid land, and will become a wall when raised up, sealing the entrance to your fort.

the problem is atomsmashing

[Kc_spot]

ah HA so when they  come in front of my fort... *squish* that goes for elves too. I get it 

[TolyK]

which is why you need two.

that or a moat with a ballista accross

Trying above ground farming.... set the farm as a zone (pond), have water source, I get this:



what am i doing wrong here?

[FuzzyZergling]

I'm pretty sure pond zones have to be filled from above.
Also, as long it you put the plot on soil, you can grow above ground crops without mud, no irrigation required.

[Kc_spot]

so what? do i have to encase the area with walls? i have an idea so that my farmer dorf doesn't get stuck but really... up ramps and walls?

I saw that too late but my plan looks similar



ramps on both sides of a wall going up and down. enemies won't make it in because my Depot has a ceiling now...
Also:



Above ground floor building time!!! workshops will go here... above that will be nobles bedrooms, then the common bedrooms.

Tl;dr: KC learns proper building planning.

EDIT: migrants, 22 of em....    I yelled from the top of my lungs WHAT THE FRACK? when I saw this...

EDIT2: Wrong image

Is that magma in the top right corner of that screenshot? 0.o
And year 3 and you dont have a bridge or any traps ._.
Seriously build a bridge at least or set up a shed load of weapon and cave traps.
Personally i prefer pumping magma up to form a moat of buring hot magma or make trap corridors that just pump tiles with magma once a switch is pulled.

[Kc_spot]

might try that but im trying to get my producers up first...

my plan backfired, for the farm... same message...
