What do I do with all this *Candy*?
« on: November 19, 2011, 09:18:51 am »

Greetings, fellow dwarves, and today I have one simple question to ask.

I have found two viens worth of *Candy* and I have been going about digging them. I have also realized just how much adamantine two viens is, and it hasn't even been a full year since we first embarked in this area, so we don't have much of a population, and hence we only have a single dwarf in the military, which means it won't take much *Candy* to make her armed and armored.

So my question is, what the @#$% do we do with the *Candy*?

From,

....They just refuse to stay down unless butchered, in which case their skins will haunt you until you subdue and tan them. Never has legendary butcher and legendary tanner seemed so valueable as in this release.

good quality furniture is great to increase nobles room levels very quickly. Plus other furniture made from it gives dwarves happy thoughts if placed it high traffic areas

Should you fail to comply, strict !!disciplinary actions!! will be taken. Also, we feel we should remind you that one of the "criminals" on your list is the chief medical dwarf. If he ends up too badly injured to do his job, you will be fired. Out of a magma cannon.
Sincerely,

I would save it, work on getting it processed and into wafers, then wait til you have a legendary +5 armorsmith/weaponsmith and equip an army with masterwork weapons and armor. That's a x2 bonus, if I remember right...

First year? Wait before processing it if you don't want lots of ambushers, and worse things, coming at you. Many attackers are triggered by created wealth, which can be very much boosted by candy. Also, such increased wealth will bring lots of migrants, which depending on your needs might be good or bad.
