I did, but I should get respect anyways.  xD  I recorded doing one row, moved down, played macro.  Though I did manage to fuck it all up by starting my macro one tile too low, and had to start all over on the middle.

On the winter, Valrandir shall continue his mighty mining operation of doom.

"I shall keep digging, always, more, digging, all winter!"
"The project must be done!"

These are Ramps or Stairs?
If there are Ramps, then so shall it be.
It does not affect my plans.

[squeakyReaper]

Stairs.  It matches your specs exactly.

[Valrandir]

I love you ♥

[EvilFuzzy9]

Fuzzy can keep doin' what he's doin'.

By the way, I find it hilariously appropriate that there (god, I'm tired. I actually put 'their' there at first . Yes, shocking, I know.) is a dwarven civ with a totem as their symbol.

Not many orders, so this will probably be a low content update.  We'll see.

Billybob's Memoirs
1st Moonstone

There is a dire lack of plants around here; a problem I must fix.  I grabbed the nearest Laborer and elevated her to status of Farmhand.  This has not been one of my best moves; she is very opposed to my beliefs.  Argh.  Apparently she is recently married, so unlike every other person's apprentice (which seems to be a pattern around here) there will be none of that strange romance going on.

I was also a little put off by the lack of goblins, so I double checked.



They do in fact exist, they just haven't hassled us yet.  Huh, how did we find out about them if they haven't attacked yet though..?

Therleth's Log

Crossbow Marmot is doing quite well.  I'm going to reassign him to military duties so that he can train for the impending threat.  Something just does not feel right...


Babylon Quarterly
28th Opal

Valrandir and his mad housing project march on.  I must respect the idea that he will do it himself, instead of relying on the labor of others, and that it is for the common man.  This place may be shit, but at least he makes it bearable.  That is, until he starts telling me to smooth his project.



Kipi jumped to it like the overactive try-hard that she is.  I'm reluctant to let a novice do the work of an expert satirist like myself.  I haven't gotten to engraving yet, but I suppose I will cross that hurdle soon enough.

At this point, Valrandir is a Talented Miner.

Proficient Pump Operator.

14th Obsidian



We all knew this day was coming.  Now to prove just how ready we are for it.  Charge!



Nigel and his Apprentice's cage trap line caught a goblin, and I believe it will snare a few more.  Our four squads, The Awe-Inspiring Diamonds (myself), The Geared Greennesses (Nergal), The Faint Shields (Miss) and The Tin Decency (Crossbow Marmot) head out to intercept.



Before engaging, I already caught site of not one, but four captured goblins in our cage traps.  The last objective is clear.  Fight the remainders!



...we now have four goblin prisoners.


Scruffy's Autobiography
27th Obsidian

My dear fellows, I seem to be sober.  How strange.  This is due to a chain of reaction in our processing lines, pinpointed to one source.



Our dedicated brewer has been strucken with some strange convulsions!  This is absolutely ruffling!  Woe befall this fort--

At this time, someone informed Scruffy of the reserve booze

Slobber and scribbling is wiped across the rest of the page


-- END OF WINTER 102 --



Woo, we're two years old!  And...  probably down one Brewer!  He's requesting Plant Cloth, which due to Fuzzy's dyetheworldandmakeitintomasterpiecesocks campaign, we are out of!  Pig Tail doesn't even grow in spring!  So...  uhh...  Gotta hope he holds out for a season until the Elves get here, and take some cloth from them.  Woo..  It's a Mason mood, by the by.  So, what will your dwarves do for the next season?

[plisskin]

Any of those goblins drop an iron knife? If so, equip it to Therleth post-haste. I could settle for a copper knife if it's of any quality. Not like gobbos are capable of quality goods. No knife for her.  Yet.

First off, Therleth will dig a pit in a place passing dwarves won't accidentally go near. It'll be five Z-levels deep and she'll enlist a couple Urists to help if we have the spare picks. Construct like so:

X = wall
. = open
> = ramp
B = bridge anchor when raised
+ = floor

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
X . . . . . . . . . . . . . X
X . . . . . . . . . . . . . X
X . . . . . . . . . . . . . X
X . . . . . . . . . . . . . X

X>>> . . . . . . . . .  X
X+++ . . . . . . . . .  X
XB B B . . . . . . . . . X
X++++++++++++X
X++++++++++++X

So when the bridge is deployed access may be granted to the pit by connecting to the top of the ramps. In the pit itself, at the bottom, build a dividing wall that separates the bottom of the ramp from the area where prisoners will be thrown. Add a door to the wall that can be forbidden, or a floodgate with switch whichever seems better. This pit can later have magma/water systems attached to it but for now is just a hole for gobbos.

After this is completed, assuming it takes less than a season, set a garbage dump by the pit, build the prisoners' cages next to the pit and harvest dat goblinite. Toss them all in.

Any remaining time left will be spent pumping.

[squeakyReaper]

Alright uhh question.  How do I move the Goblins without taking them out of their cages, or without killing the haulers?  I just want to make sure I don't mess that up.

Valrandir is still doing his mining thing, though.  Unless he doesn't mind postponing it, or Kipi tearing through it, that will have to wait for a bit.  Or we could build it above ground?  Also, they were all Hammer Goblins.

[plisskin]

EDIT: disregard this

[squeakyReaper]

We have about five picks, and can make more.  The problem is Valrandir wants to make the thing by himself, and I can't tell a miner to "only go here", and another miner to "only go here" without complex burrows.

Actually, that might work.  Burrows it is.  xD

Oh yeah! Just connect his mining job, all three Zs of it, to the food/drink area and his room by one burrow and assign him to it. Assign Therleth to a burrow that covers the pit zone, her room and the food zone. Badda-bing.

[billybobfred]

Look through the stocks for any rope reeds, vine whips, or seeds thereof. If we don't have any, get an Urist to gather every plant on the map until we find some. Moods are to be respected.

Even above electrum, Armok forbid we ever have to make that choice.

[squeakyReaper]

Oh hey, Herbalism.  Sure.  I haven't touched above ground farming at all (I haven't been told to yet, and I don't do many things out of my own initiative in this community fort), but I can do that.  That just might save our Brewer, nice thinking.
