Maybe you could upload your world, and we could all make unique forts and show how Soaplantern has affected the rest of the world or something. Maybe the Mountainhomes have declared that soapmaking is now the highest profession, and must be established in all forts?

I like this Idea. Maybe like an intermission detailing the lives of the soapmakers inspired by Soaplanterns' success to go out and found their own fortresses.

Unfortunately the fort hasn't earned a name for it's self because of it's soap. People might know the history of it being founded by soap makers. But the majority of stories that leave the fortress right now would be about the military and the goblins. Rumors of a room made of soap might be starting to get around, and soap makers would be hearing of job opportunities at the fort. However, nothing has really happened to make people world wide to see the greatness of soap. That likely won't happen until one of two things start happening.

1) soap as primary export.
2) visitors seeing grand soap structures/operations.

I agree about waiting until Zephyr Hound can continue the fort. It's his baby, and it just wouldn't be the same if someone else took over. If people want a succession fort, they can start a different one up any time.

Have them killed. Nothing solves a problem quite as effectively as simply having it killed.

Maybe any succession games would be counted as alternate histories?

Also, count me in as a vote for waiting for zephyr rather than trying to turn it into a succession game. I'd rather see it stay consistant.
+1 for the idea (Meaning: I agree with it), -1 for the spelling of consistent (Meaning: I am not serious and am in fact trying to make a joke).

Zephyr, when you finally get your laptop working and are able to access the raws where you keep your custom animals and plants, would you mind posting them? I would like to see them.

It is a world built on pillars that descend into hell itself, yet there is no heaven above to look to. A world where pain and death await all, with little to no salvation from the horrors of the world. There is no true peace, no true saviour. Dwarf fortress is a game about an eternal struggle that you can never, ever win.

Also, valkyries are cooler then angels...

Oh no. I hope it all works out. Definitely make sure you are keeping that thing cool. I lost a laptop at one point just out of stupidity of overheating it.

On that note, add another vote for not making a succession fort. If you want to make your own soap fort then feel free but, this is Zeph's fort, end of story.

The RAM has been toppled by Summer Heat.
The computer has gone stark raving mad!
Dwarf Fortress demands upgrade of zephyr's computer!

Hope everything will be fixed and we'll get more soap and foul blendecs!

If you don't have the save elsewhere, you could get a USB cable to connect another computer to your broken one, and use that to get your stuff off the HDD. I suppose they're fairly cheap, although I rarely mess with hardware unless I need to, so I wouldn't know too much about that...

A USB cable between computers won't work if you can't boot both computers.

Notice z_h mentioned he was borrowing a mac lappy; assuming the first one is also a mac, firewire target disk mode that shit, rescue your college + DF files manually, wipe your first machine's HD and reinstall Mac OS altogether, then put the files back.
