edit: nevermind, how do I delete the post

[Conan]

Don't need to, its fine.

Lmao, i was really hoping for at least 1z levels underground before we hit aquifer, this will just make punching through even more FUN!

EDIT: just saw you were at -2 z's below ground, that changes everything.

If I try breaching the aquifer, I'll savescum since its the first time I tried breaching an aquifer. Please don't let it be 11 layers...

i'm pretty sure that aquifers have a maximum depth of 3 z levels.

Have you read Soaplanterns? 11 FREAKING Z-LEVELS

and no i haven't read it, though now i'm going to, just to see how they did it.

[Conan]

But part of it is also at one z, so you have limited space to work with. I'll mine out as much as I can on the second z since I'm reserving the first z for arms, etc.

[nanomagnetic]

Ha! You're kidding. I don't think I've ever seen an aquifer right under the surface like that before. I'd hoped with "aquifer" third on the list we would have had more room to settle in.

Still, I guess it's come to this. Be careful, try not to make dorfcicles out of our first seven!

Oh, that's good. We still have one z of starting space. At least that gives us room to farm and sleep inside and attack the aquifer.

[Conan]

Actually, it still exists only one z under the surface. We basically only have a limited space to work with, which is the space we have on the second z.

So in reality, that's all we have.

good thing i brought that rock with me 

[Farmerbob]

I see we are in a valley - and I see a 3x3 down-stair.  Did you run an exploratory shaft into the walls of the valleys to see if there's room there?

There may even be rock available. if the peaks on either size extend high enough - based on the map I can see, the sides of the map could easily have a whole LOT of room above the aquifier.

Aquifiers can be funny and weird around elevation changes though, so no guarantee of easiness.

[ImBocaire]

Ohgod. Um.

Remind me to express interest once the aquifer is breached.

[Isn't a big deal, but Conan, could you add my name to the list on the first page?]

[Conan]

Sure, I forgot.

Nope, all dirt. But yeah, there's some space, but near there are some roaming beasts...

I'll leave that for the next update

Hey, Hey! I'm thirding my dwarf request! Sheriff with sharp knife, any other skills are optional.

A bit late. I'll post the next immiwave when it arrives to let people pick and choose.

Also, when you mean sharp knife, can I just make you a swordsdorf? I might not be able to get foreign weapons.

[Conan]

Big update coming tomorrow!
