Dear Urist McSettlers,

I am lead to understand that your group, "The Guild of Artifice", have had some trouble with your start-up.  It appears that you somehow ran your wagon half-way into the river.  That none of your group or its animals died is a mercy of Armok.  He will not be so forgiving in the future.  Therefor, you should strive to do better and achieve excellence in future endeavors. 

Your comments about the incredibly high [12 z levels) waterfall intrigue us.  We wish to learn more at a future date, especially if the cliffside's veins of magnetite are as large as you claim they are.  Please keep us updated in your usual timely manner.

Signed,

OH MY GOD! An actual female DF player! I must be dreaming! This is new. Like, really new. Also, if you have find some candy, dont trust the community if they tell you to be careful. There is only a small chance that they will have clowns.

[Roraborialisforealis]

What RAW should I look at to see what civilizations have what to trade, and what metals to use as materials?

For example, I'm not sure if Kobolds have any metals, so if not, I was going to give them copper, tin, brass, bronze, silver, gold, etc-- basically, anything less than iron.  Similar to how Dwarves tend to have more steel items, while humans have more iron or lesser items, and elves have only wooden ones.

In .40 d they used exclusively copper/ In the current game they are gliched to not have any default metals, so they instead use steel (so its best to just give them access to copper, and maybe tin,) and starve within the first 3 years of history. They need [NO_FOOD] and [NO_DRINK] to possibly survive very far.

As for no_eat or no_drink... the mod removed their carnivore-only status.

I (hope I) gave them access to  copper, brass, bronze, electrum, billon, pewter, nickel, tin, silver, gold, etc-- basically non-steel metals.

But I'm not sure if I did it right or put it in the right place.

I would say that they should get iron or the precious metals.

[antymattar]

Dude. Chill.

ok.

@ Melissa: They just need [NO_FOOD] and [NO_DRINK] and nothing else. There is a bug where they will create weapons and junk from jewels but you could consider it a feature because some jewels have a greater strength and density than most metals.

For Orosmlo...

My mayor mandated a tin item.  I made a statue and put it in her room, and she's just gonna have to deal with it if she likes tin so much. 

If my mayor makes any truly annoying mandates, I'm so going to send her off to meet some clowns.

Its easy to accidentally satisfy mandates sometimes...... Especially If you have 1/10th of your bronze production use tin instead of casserite!

Amusingly, the elves don't seem that pissed off that I repeatedly cut down all trees on the map.

As long as you added in the edits from the first post in this thread (Different from the Human Diplomat, as well as the "Wood Cartel Rep," which is a 'made up' position that just copies the dialogue from the Human Diplomat position) to your raws before worldgen, they should show up eventually (EDIT: and totally berate you) once you advance to a barony.   In my fort that took around 3 years or so. 

Also, I'm not sure whether or not they consider cavern wood as 'trees,' seeing at they're mushrooms and all...

No, it's not.  Like, really not.

Let's just ignore that outburst of his... don't need to keep bringing it up.  I'd rather talk about magma.  And I will after class.

[Melissia]

I'm not allowed to export gauntlets apparently.

I don't have any to export.  Any extras I melted down.  Heh. 

Anyway, pictures of the route I'm going to take to get magma up to near my main workshops soon to follow.

[Melissia]

Okay, here's the image, and an explanation:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Following the white arrows:

First few rooms are dug out.  However, then I found out taht the third cavern was deeper than I thought it was, and struck damp stone.  Therefor I will have to make one of my reservoirs go further in than it otherwise would, to move the pump stack.  This segment of pumps will therefor be Pump Stack A, and have already begun construction (as you can see) though nothing is powered yet.  Initial magma comes through the orthoclase (gold colored) grate on the top left.  I am using the 1x3 design (obviously), and because my miners kept getting caught, I simply decided to ramp down from above where the opening would be anyway, hopefully that won't cause any problems.

Then after that, I continue in that open area-- and there's my opening into the third level of caves (the 1x2 bridge is lowered so I can grab some nethercap).  Thankfully that same closer-to-the stairs location will also get me past the second cavern, shown after the entry to the third (that's not my entrance obviously).    But then I hit another snag on the first cavern, and have to move the stack north.  From cavern three to one, therefor, is Pump Stack B. 

And from there to a few levels below the surface will be Pump Stack C.  All of this will have 1x2 bridges made of magma-proof material at each of the stairwell before I start the first pump.  If it leaks, I will pull the lever (the dwarf pump operator exiting would be a nice bonus, but not necessary), and all of them will close, shutting off the pump stack entirely.

ALL of my pumps are made of iron in their entirety.  Beleive me, I have more than enough from the utterly massive magnetite veins.
