You really have all the industries running and have that many idlers? How big is your military? How many haulers do you have? Just curious, as I've always wanted to get all the major industries going at the same time. Usually I just get food and steel going.

[Armv]

I do have all the industries running! ...save for soap making. I am sitting on several hundred nuggets of mined iron ores, with most of the others. Enough to keep enough smelters going to keep my legendary smiths busy (Strange mood weapon, two armor, and a trained up crafter). The food stock pile has enough to keep the cook and the brewer going at maximum -- and the three legendary bone carvers are set on repeat for bolts. They aren't making a dent in those stock piles (First line of defenses is a single platform that goes for 20 tiles, and each side has a forty Z level drop. This is over looked by my marksdwarves -- so plenty of bones). And yeah. Glass. Leather crafting. My military is thirty strong -- 10 archers, 10 hammer dwarves, and 10 axe dwarves. Danger rooms might have been used. ...anyways.

It's concluded! Operation: Liberate HFS is in affect. First step is to produce enough steel to fully armor those idlers, the addy will be used to arm them. Second step will be to carve out something fun for the HFS to wander through. I might use repeating spikes for this. Maybe. Finally? It'd be time to dig deep.

So...you're not going to build a massive, shining monument to me?

That sounds like quite a fortress. Nice work, and I hope you enjoy your utter demise Fun.

Idlers you say? Smooth the fortress. Smooth the mines. dig more rooms and mines to smooth. Then engrave it. all of it. Use your 5-6 highest skilled engravers to do this part. When your done? DO IT AGAIN!

^^ Make sure every natural stone is smoothed and engraved. Also : organise your stockpiles into material / type as per the stockpile options. Dump all your waste into an atom smasher.

And make enought soap to build a bathouse out of... and then make a bathhouse out of soap.

And fill the water with pollutants so the Dwarves are in a perpetual state of washing.

[FearfulJesuit]

That's an idea for an Unfortunate Accident machine. Are dwarves' priorities screwed up in such a way that you could build a contaminated bathhouse, with soap everywhere, with access to a food stockpile, but built in such a way that a dwarf will choose to be in an endless cleaning cycle rather than ever go get something to eat or drink?

Should be. If all else fails you could always make a vomit machine above your Dwarves

As for accident machines...

Someone once made a machine that slowly harvested all of the Dwarves that tried to take a sock...
