I think Kivash might want ANIMAL cloth. Use the wool gotten from the dead alpaca and weave it. Go to the loom and queue "Spin Wool" or something.
I read this comment after writing the next month's update.
Also, I attempted to do that, but apparently I did not have enough wool, and I think we had some Animal wool left from the elves.
Also Kivish went melancholy in the next update...
First of Galena, Summer, Year 8I am sitting and watching Kivish, he seems as if he'll go insane any minute now due to lack of materials, yet he has brought this fate upon himself by not gathering the materials we have made for him.
Work on engraving Komra's Office began today, hopefully it'll be quick and easy, as all the previous engraving jobs have been.
Second of Galena, Summer, Year 8Squid still doesn think his dining room/office is fit for a mayor, so I organized a few statues to be placed.
Later, I also designated a statue garden to be made. Hopefully more dwarves will throw parties once it is finished, as it is certainyl a time for revelery!
Third of Galena, Summer. Year 8I have decided to make the main hallway of the fortress longer, to accomodate more rooms if needed. The miners have already started on the project and are making quite a bit of progress.
Fourth of Galena Summer, Year 8Since so much is being renovated currently, I have decided to tear down some of the walls in the cavern in favor of a gatehouse, so our woodcutters will actually have something to do!
I checked the stock papers, and we have everything require, except for 3 floodgates. The final Gatehouse will have floodgates, with stonefall traps on either side of the gates. The gatehouse will have a lever connected to the floodgates inside, as well as a remote lever, located inside of the fortress.
Sixth of Galena, Summer, Year 8The two pairs of adamantine greaves for Conan and I were finished today! Unfortunately, I have not had the time to pick the greaves up, and when I do, the armorsmiths keep telling me that there's been some sort of "Equipment Mismatch" and won't let me have the greaves. So one of the pairs is sitting in the stockpile, and the other at the forge.
Seventh of Galena, Summer, Year 8Project: Cavern gatehouse has run into a snag.
Aquifier.
I order the aquifier in question to be mine out before any accidents occur.
Eighth of Galena, Summer, Year 8The Statue garden is almost fully mined out!
The hallway in front of the garden has been completed, but a few more urists of natural walls are still blocking the way...
Nineth of Galena, Summer, Year 8A brave miner, Jeffery, mined away the aquifier today, without any trouble. The only aftermath is that a few urists of the walled in cavern is now covered in water that is about one seventh of a urist high.
Tenth of Galena, Summer, Year 8Squid still doesn't think that his office and dining room is good enough, so I ordered a few more statues to be moved into the room.
Eleventh of Galena, Summer, Year 8Kivish was stricken by Melancholy today because we wasn't able to find materials for his great reation that were sitting right in front of him.
Twelth of Galena, Summer, Year 8I don't think the urist of stone that was mined out earlier was actually the aquifier. I think I got the right area this time.
Thirteenth of Galena, Summer, Year 8I chose Conan to replace Kivish as our broker, since he is beter then all of the other dwarves at appraising things.
Also, Squid STILL doesn't think his Dining Room/Office is up to par.
Fourteenth of Galena, Summer, Year 8One of the recruits thought it would be funny to track the blood of those elf merchants into the aquifier.
Har har.
Fifteenth of Galena, Summer, Year 8The Statue garden is mined out, now the statues just need to be placed, along with some doors, and soon our fortress will have a REAL place to party.
Sixteenth of Galena, Summer, Year 8I told the miners to dig a pit to collect the quifier water, but they just came running back saying that they had run into damp stone...
Amidst of all the reports of damp stone being hit that I got from the miners, I suddenly got a notice that a human caravan had arrived! I immediatly sent notice to our new broker, and made sure certain goods were hauled to the depot.
I ended up marking all of our non-crown stone crafts, some cloth bins we took from the elves, some stone blocks that were intended for Kivish, and five boulders of raw adamantine, since the humans were paying 750 dwarfbucks worth of goods for them.
Nineteenth of Galena, Summer, Year 8The Humans finally got to the depot today, and the miners finally got thoruhg all the damp stone, and are digging another water collection pit right now.
Twentieth of Galena, Summer, Year 8An adamantine breastplate was completed today, naturally I was the lucky dwarf it went to. After I got it, I went to pick up a pair of adamantine gauntlets that were finished, too. Then I went to help bring stuff up to the depot. I took a peek at the humans good's and saw nothing too interesting, besides some bins of leather and tons of wood.
Twenty First of Galena, Summer, Year 8Today someone told me that a stray goat had starved to death. But then, squid told me that on the way to the depot, he saw a doe rabbit give birth, so I guess the two events kind of balance each other out. The sculpture garden is coming along nicely, too!
Twenty Second of Galena, Summer, Year 8I told Conan to do part of the trading with the humans today, then do the rest when all of the trading items were brought up to the depot. We managed to buy out a good half of the stock witht he items we had already brought up, and that didn't include the raw adamantine boulders!
Twenty Third of Galena, Summer, Year 8I ordered the miners to dig some more water collection trenches, so naturally, they had to send in a report of every urist of damp stone they run into.
Twenty Fourth of Galena, Summer, Year 8A snow storm started today, naturally, the humans had dressed for a snow storm, so they complained for the duration of it. Also, squid still doesn't think his room is good enough, so I put a weapon rack in there.
Twenty Sixth of Galena, Summer, Year 8The new trenches are complete, and the statue garden is almost complete. I saw farmerbob check out the statue garden during his break.
(Seriously. Farmer bob just walked in the statue garden, then walked out. The entire time he was listed as "On Break")
Today we also did the last of the training. All the humans left with that they came with was some arrows and a couple of berries.
Hopefully later we will have a legendary metalcrafter, and we'll be able to make masterwork adamantine crafts studded with adamantine. The humans are foolish enough to trade their entire supply for one of the things! Can you imagine them coming home, with their wagons and packmules, just carrying a ring?
Twenty Eighth of Galena, Summer, Year 8Though we have 177 boulders of raw adamantine, I feel like we may need to dig another layer deeper. The boulders are so valuable that a caravan will typically trade their entire stock for just 15 boulders of the stuff.
EDIT: Wow, I can't believe I screwed up like that. I must've loaded the .txt file for the wrong update.
