hoo boy. Supplies are a mess, and not really all that much for me to do.

Urist grunted at the sad state of the fortress, "Reckon I need a fishing tool, since there be no bones or shells around, and I ain't likin the look o those supplies with more of us mouths ta feed. I'll be ready if we capture any huntin spoils."

The darker water dwarf stroked his beard for a moment considering, "Might wanna think about gettin some traps set up, snares with the rope reed for rabbits n smaller game. Better than nothin."

So my first action will be to set up an outdoor refuse processing center. Butcher, Tanner, and Craftsdwarf(Bonecrafting specific) set up using a trio of the rocks we have mined out. Near a couple stockpiles seperated for bones, raw hides, and Leather/finished goods(for now).
 

Spoiler: Actions changed in later post, spoiler to read original plan. (click to show/hide)

Day 1-3: Attempt Bookkeeping.
The rest of Day one and the beginning of the week will be spent with me checking stores, and making sure the numbers are correct. Or at least trying to. Water dwarves are supposed to be smart at least, though without any skill or an office, I doubt I will get far.

Day 4-6: IF no fishing tool has been provided by other craftsdwarfs, attempt to make my own pole. (find/cut pole, find/process string, assemble pole with string and hook), ELSE use tool to fish for these three days.
"Any o you carpenters able to get me a fishin pole?"
I assume that a fishing pole would be a carpentery creation, at least the pole part itself.

Day 7: IF Hunter has been successful by now, Process Catch(butcher, tanning if possible would be next week). ELSE Fish (or take extra time working on shoddy pole creation).
Would be great for the dwarves to actually get some success. Seems like this game so far has been an example in failure rather than getting anything at all done.

Arr, who be you? If anything, I be needing some helpeth with this fishing. You can clean the blasted fish as soon as I catch them.

MAH ANCESTORS, HELP MEH DESTROYETH THESE FISHY BASTARDS! (1-7 if he cooperates, 1-4 then 5-7 clean fish if not. Fishing will be done at same spot as previous.)

[Haika]

Augh, I be Urist McMacabe. Bonecrafter n animal processor. Fish ain't really mah thing. Since we don't got any bones or animals ta be butchered, figured I'd try and fish, maybe get lucky. If ye really want I can clean yer catch, but more likely ta destroy perfectly good fishes wit me guttin and de-scalin.

Gonna go with no cleaning here. If I fail while fishing worst we loose the new pole, or I just waste time. If I fail while cleaning, I can destroy what little fish stocks we have currently. I'd rather leave the cleaning to those with better chances. At least until we get better tools/workshops up.

[ansontan2000]

Pah, in that case, you can make some of these fish bones a little sharp.

Haika, I would like to mention that you brought a Toolset. You never decided on which Profession its made for...

Understood...

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

Do we have any bones? If we do you should make bone crafts so we have something to sell when The traders come. On a related note can we use our left over ☼ to buy stuff from the traders?

[ansontan2000]

Erm... you have fishbones, but they're kinda small so you'll have to make do with that.

As stated before the Perch fishbones are of no use... Too weak to be changed into anything else and are mostly destroyed during cleaning...

"Weel, weel, weel! New blood, Ah see! Welcome, one an' all, tae... Er, does onybody remember whit thae nobles decided we would all this place? Onyway, welcome! Nikuz Nanothnunok is mah name, an' Ah'm thae most important dwarrof in thae whole fortress! An' by that, Ah hope ye've guessed, Ah mean, Ah'm thae only brewer, cook, an' farmer this place has. Feel free tae refesh yerselves wi' some river spirits or sewer brew!"

Spoiler: On colour (click to show/hide)

I think that each dwarf, when RP-ing, ought to colour his/her text in the same colour as suits their profession

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

I'll colour my text when rping i guess but  DEAR Sweet merciful god Hubris your accent makes my ears bleed just by reading it. Is it supposed to be scottish or just a general insult to the english language?

[Hubris Incalculable]

It's supposed to be a stereotypical Scottish accent, written as seen in the Scottish comic strips "The Broons" and "Oor Wullie"

[Haika]

Yeah, I assumed that fish bones wouldn't work, as per real Dwarf Fortress.

However, now that I'm thinking about it, how will animal breeding work in this game? Kind of important for my dwarf as the best source materials. Even if only puppies and kittens right now, I'm curious if there is a roll each turn, or each month, or do I need to use an action on animal training/care?

On a side note, brown bears need to breed more, my Military needs it's War Grizzlys in my current game.

Hmmmm... Looks like I don't have a system for Animals yet... As I have always said, this system is Play Tested/Built. Your Input helps it grow...
