Any word yet on what the embark will be like?
Post by: Magistrum on March 26, 2018, 06:29:35 pm
No river would be nice, for fps.
But then again, we would need an aquifer, that can be a real bore for the first or second player.
Seconding magma pipe.
Slow edit: Scratch that, Dwarf Therapist has 44.07 version since last sunday.
Slower edit: Congratulations on your first post Psychedelichu, that was a lot of lurking before succumbing to the madness.

Oh, general preferences are also important!
Should we put some stuff we would prefer others not to do?
I am particularly fond of draining and paving the murky pools near the center of the map.
Also take the opportunity to vote for 2x2 or 3x3 embark.

I'm okay with the first turn if we need to breach an aquifer too.
By the way, how are the turns organized? One fort year or maybe a few days per player?

The size matters less to me, as long as you can fit 2-3 different biomes (either more or less seems to work out weirdly) on the embark. 2 should be pretty easily do-able with any embark over 1x1, so that's hopefully not much of a limit. As long as there is a source of water, and there almost always is, we should be good.
I can't think of any embark resources that you can't get from training immigrants or trading with caravans, so just pick whatever you plan on using in the first year. It's pretty much just what you want to have guaranteed (2 miners, a mildly-competent trader, a doctor that doesn't kill patients too often, enough food and drink to survive until farms start producing) and quality of life stuff. I would like to see what you pick, though. How others play is interesting to me.
Post by: Magistrum on March 28, 2018, 11:21:17 am
The aquifer is somewhat booring but If I go first I make a nice ~9x9 hole and we can forget it afterwards, most locations with nice characteristics such as both clay, shallow and deep metals have aquifers, so there's that.

Early Spring 550
Indigomine that's the name of this outpost... Good that we brought some wood along with us, but I probably should start diggin before something kills us.
...
I didn't play anything but I generated a medium sized 550 year old world and found a fun place. I'm going to PM Stoat Tales and gonna move my turn to after him.
Two tips I have are don't waste wood and get inside fast.

Welcome to the brand new amazing simple fort! It's so cool, we're sitting here quietly waiting to start our new life
(https://i.imgur.com/51qz2lS.png)
It's awesome, we've got our friends snow, Iduno and mugmaker, we have sand, lots and lots of sand and we also...
(https://i.imgur.com/lgQIVrA.png)
oh
GET UNDERGROUND!!!!
So we've gotten underground, i've taken an inventory of what we have and to address the undead elephant, we have a lot of wood. like, 60 something logs, as well as the surface trees we have here, we won't be running out for a while. We also have some sweet natural resources, like lemonite, copper, gelena, bitumous coal etc. It almost makes life in a zombie desert worth it.
For now, just to stop us from going to the surface as more then we need to, i've stockpiled all our stuff underground. If anyone feels the need to re-organise it, please do because it's a massive eyesore.
(https://i.imgur.com/6grWVkD.png)
And here's our second floor:
(https://i.imgur.com/BkAaAiv.png)
I also planted some crops with the seemingly hundreds of seeds we had, those should hopefully be a better food source then the potentially zombie animals. We also found some lignite underground, so we can save logs on charcoal.
We got several migrants too, mostly some worthless plebs and most of them married, expect some dwarf babies later down the line, if we survive that long.
For now, i'll leave this report here, i'll finish off the year tomorrow

Welcome back to simple fort, year 550 where somehow, nobody has died yet!
Due to concerns about our food, we butchered a horse, but don't worry, skin and hair are easy to kill now, so we're fine and we can feast on tasty horse meat (ew)
Using the huge amount of coke we have from our coal hole, I've decided to for-go making iron weapons and just head straight to steel, maybe they'll defend us better, we even have some silver for maces so we can use that too.
when the merchants arrived, i ordered the general basics as to what we would need in the future, food, booze, seeds, cloth, leather etc. Didn't bother asking for animals because we have little use for them and no point asking for metal because, well, we have shit tons of the stuff.
We bought a lot of food and stuff from the merchants, i traded some beautiful gem encrusted golden crafts for it, maybe i shouldn't have done that but whats some gold crowns next to a slice of pig cheese right :)
In case anyone in particular is worried about our wood supplies, don't:
(https://i.imgur.com/LXfOOcZ.png)
We also had an artefact made, by our leader Snowdwarf too!
(https://i.imgur.com/RNZ7s0d.png)
I don't know if we'll get much use out of it, but hey, it looks nice
The year however was not without loss, a fisherdwarf was murdered by a zombie ibex outside during a drawbridge opening incident (we have them now, there's a switch in the tavern that controls both doors so we can leave and enter from both. We avenged her but unfortunately, it was too late....
After decking out the hospital, a graveyard, a small military (Fully armoured and equipped but untrained) and some last minute preparations, we're done for the year. Overall, we have a decent foothold in the map now, just be very careful when opening the front doors, Giant Zombie Eagles are just around the corner.
Thanks for putting up with my first succession fort guys :)

EDIT: embark description
Embark seems to be a red, untamed desert. There are camels, giant crows and highwoods around. There are some murky pools which freeze in late autumn. It's also beautiful underground, with ores of iron, gold, copper, lead, silver, tin and whatnot. There is chalk, some magma safe stones and bituminous coal. I'm used to embark in spring, but winter welcomed me moments into the game.
/edit
I've dug essentials: farming area set to produce food & booze, dormitory, stoneworking area, woodworking area and metalworking area.
I used work orders to automate food and booze production. Conditions should keep cancellation spam minimal, but they don't eliminate it. One of the migrants came equipped as a hunter, so I placed work orders to keep some copper bolts around. Giant crows have a lot of meat, you see. :) There is also a bonecarver's shop in the farming area set up to keep using any bones. It produces baubles to be traded for whatever.
Wood and stone working areas are pretty straightforward. Metalworking area is ready to smelt steel, but I haven't made any yet, so there is no steel stockpile so far.
Defense is realized by a raising bridge to keep the baddies outside, if you get dwarfs inside fast enough.
As I started with 7 dwarfs, I had to enable whole lots of labors on them, only few are specialized so far. Two legendary dwarfs came in the last migration wave, a bowyer and a armorsmith. So you can go ahead and make steel clad militia using only masterworks. ;) Dwarfs would also appreciate separate rooms, I guess. I also just slapped Trade depot outside without any thought. Feel free to tear it down and house it somewhere appropriate. I kept option to place it deep inside of the fort open by using large spiraling rampway instead of a stairway.

BTW, there was a dwarf named cheese, could you keep him solely a cheese maker
Last I knew, the dwarf "Cheese" was making cheese. Luckily, migrants brought milkable animals (and also all of the other types of animals). You may have been both milking and making cheese, but I won't know for certain (or be able to change it) until I get home. Also, one of the dwarves somewhere has the mechanics skill/job, and I have no idea who.
On a related-ish note, I remember digging out a big room to use as an indoor pasture, but I don't know if we have caverns. Doesn't that prevent growing indoor grasses?
If it does, I can dig out the roof and use the glass furnace to make infinity glass blocks (instead of pots, because barrels are a thing that exists) to act as a greenhouse. It's like 90 z-levels away, but there are already dwarves wheelbarrowing around rocks everywhere. Semi-necessary greenhouse would be a better use for them, but has the downside of allowing light into our fortress.
Goals left: enough steel armor with wooden shields for the whole 14-member army, get the well project like 70% finished, fail to learn why we have more than 15 squares on the y-axis, set up a hospital, hope a legendary doctor (all 5 skills) and a legendary weaponsmith show up or just turn on those jobs for Urist UcRando and let the next player train them. Learn how to post pictures so you know what the merchants want to trade (spoiler: they're getting piles of bone gems instead) and the status screen from the end of my year. If someone knows a lazy way (I don't need to sign up for anything), let me know.
Things I might do: Maybe I'll also create a garbage dump right over the magma sea to dump garbage from butchering and poor-quality wooden shields. Oh, I just (re-)learned mining skill doesn't affect chance of dropping ore, so I might go dig up some adamantine as well. There is literally no chance that will cause our wealth to skyrocket, bringing in more migrants and monsters than we can handle.

(Unless not one has armor user, in which case emcumbrance will do them in for sure)
Post by: Iduno on April 10, 2018, 05:36:03 pm
Rest of the year:
Cheese was the only cheesemaker I found (other than the one who...volunteered for military service), and now produces only cheese. You will also no longer haul anything but owned items, refuse, or dead bodies. Because 2 of those cause miasma. To make up for the extra labor Cheese has performed, there is now a farm workshop that is usable only by Cheese.
Magistrum is, I am sorry to report, clumsy and weak (as requested). You are a wrestler, until someone gets around to producing weapons.
I'll post the rest when I'm done.

It's a good way to learn how to use jobs, or go insane because new jobs will show up. We don't have caverns, and I'm hoping the shields get replaced with adamantine (or I guess whatever the heaviest metal we can make shields with) before any non-training combat. I may not have changed the uniforms, so the armor/shields aren't getting used yet. I also haven't actually built the well, so I met my goal of getting that almost finished. New entrance is at the east edge of the map. Also, be careful what you type. Everytime I started talking about a new project, it became necessary.

Well is done, It's a two reservoir system, a wide one layer resorvoir for stagnant water and two pumps moved by dwarf power move it to a two level deep smaller clean water reservoir.
The microline lever did control the floodgate. I installed some (useless) floor gates and left an annotation there.
We got ~4 dwarves with infections, wich is pretty bad for the number of wounded.
Does it ever rain here? It has been drained for a whole season already! Or maybe I'm too used to my rain forests.
Soap is in and I forbid some tallow from cooking, I think I'll set up automated soap production soon.
I tried to chain the orders instead, but it was my first try trying to set up stuff like Order B starts after Order A is completed for repeating orders and it looks like I got it wrong, sorry!Didn't mess with that yet, just added some conditions to the food production and removed shields because I can't specify wooden shields for product condition, and we got way more than twenty shields.
Am digging some exploratory corridors on the marble layer for cassiterite and malachite, because I noticed I'm using tetahedrite for bronze, which can make some people get mad at me.
Am using bronze for the reserves armor, 40 gauntlets, high boots, greaves, mailshirts and breastplates, shields and helms are iron (were made before the first siege)
8 of each native weapon out of iron, 40 total.
Using bronze because steel is moving by very slowly, professional squads just now got fully equiped, bolts are bronze for now too... 6 Magma Smelters going right now, might need more and Food+Beds near workshop to keep some hands nearby.
Four reserve squads, five units each. Please be aware that only those on duty are uniformed, their rotation is:
Spring - 1st Reserve
Summer - 2nd Reserve
Autumn - 3rd Reserve
Winter - 4th Reserve
So in summer the 2nd Reserve can answer imediatelly, but calling the 1st Reserve might slow response, or worse, answer fast and naked.
Keeping them uniformed when out of duty allows us to use them as haulers, since they have very little armor user skill and drag themselves when in armor.
The plan is moving the most skilled to the professional squads when the reserves squad get full.
The Garrison is now fully staffed, I'll try to set up a tower near where the last siege came up, and move new marksdwarves to a crossbow squad with armor to move around with the other professional soldiers.
Someone got his foot absolutely destroyed by the cyclips, but he is one the Garrison, so if he gets a crutch he will become lightning fast just from all the running he will have to do.
Now that the Livestock is safe inside, should we disable hunting and gathering, to avoid dwarves outside?
Also, I think a walled outside area in the middle of the map would be best for picking fruit, if we absolutely will mantain it.
Xenir is a dwarf miner, and is trying his best.
Will make a post with picks tomorrow and probably finish my turn.
Before sleep edit: I switched our fallen comrade with a dwarf invader and had his corpse dumped, wich led to roting without burial, wich led to Snow cancels mining, Shaken.
He was friends with him apparently. There is a small room with coffins on the big corridor that links the two side by side staircases.

Another round of migrants! Six courageous workers!
Some didn't have any relevant skills so they were moved to the reserves:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Kosoth Rôberubbul is a Great Metalsmith, but we already have two legendary ones... It isn't a important skill, but is a costly to train one, so he escapes going to the reserves for now, at least.
Melbil Bufutsåkzul is more skilled than our current glassmaker, replacing her who is now part of the 1st Reserve.
Migrant Bëmbul Lâvenolin,hunter, and resident Oddom Edosbesmar, hunter, have been moved to the Garrison;
The following dwarves have then been assigned to the brand new marksdwarves squad:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I didn't give them an Archery Target yet, since training and fighting bolts are bugged and I want to neither send them to fight with bone bolts nor have them train with bronze bolts.
Also came the liason and the caravan!
I ordered whatever is made out of steel, so we should have something nice next year.
Good news, large gems will be paying around 200% next year, exactly what our bone carver is doing right now.
I bought whatever I could find out of metal, all wood, leather bins(we still lack backpacks), and all booze. Winter is coming soon anyway and we will drown in plump helmets, so I didn't buy any vegetables or fruits.
Our only blacksmith, Bëmbul Zimgoden, has sacrificed herself for the greater good: informing me that we are using a hole for dumping, which is very dangerous.
Bëmbul got hit in the neck by a Llama partial skeleton and her neck became unrecognizable mess. She will suffocate shortly.
I turned the hole in a refuse stockpile and made the actual dump zone inside the hole, on the lower level.
I also stopped some dwarves on their way to throw teeth and a cow corpse inside hole while a planter recovered soon to be missed Bëmbul.
Pics of cistern:

There is now a lovely weapon/armor stockpile on the barracks, it's our little armory:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
It also has ammo on, just so the hunters stop going down to the forges to get bolts. The towers' stockpile should take from here.
I bought some dimple cup spawn to set up the dyeing process, should be cool.
By the way, we can now smelt electrum from bars, have two legendary metalcrafters, and scepters will be at a nice bonus, so let's not be broke come next autumn.
Our pasture has grown enough, and our animals will now only be killed by us:

Am digging this granite layer for cassiterite, it is igneous intrusive, so we should also find some bismuthine and galena soon, along with gold. I have designated the marble layer searching for malachite too.
Once we get done with this we wall off the layer for pathfinding purposes.
Edit: Strange mood! Oh, it's our carpenter. Ah, he is already legendary. And he made a wooden bin. Alright.
Post by: Magistrum on April 23, 2018, 10:26:44 pm
We got a troglodite in the cage traps, using the unoccupied rooms by the mason's workshop to store caged wildlife.
Our animal trainers are very dedicated:

The well is officially dry. And the murky pools froze. I'll take the opportunity to dig a corridor between each of them, plan being that when they thaw on spring the rains fill both the pools and the corridors, and gives us a nice buffer. For the next player, the pools freeze mid-timber. It would be ideal to make the pools stay at about 3/7 2/7 during the freezing, which would give us more water once it thawed.
The Northwest tower is up and staffed. I thought the dwarves would all staff one tower, go train and then ignore the other, but the orders worked fine, three at East Tower, three at Northwest Tower, and four training.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Set up automated dyeing, working fine right now, but made it to work in increments of five to diminish spam.
Set it to dye cloth and not thread, since there is hair thread that is used for sutures only, and removed condition of up until ten dye products (so that dimple cups keep getting milled and spawn can be planted multiple times per season).
I set the dye order to be general, so you can buy dye from caravans and they will use it immediately.
Set up automated tooth decoration, because the gems are already a pain to haul and the teeth are irregular supply either way. Increments of five too.
Made the Reserves uniform call for iron helms, weapons, shields, and bronze greaves, high boots, gauntlets, mailshirts and breastplates. Made it exact matches and replace clothing, so don't worry to much about nudists during season change. (The partial matches made they snatch steel pieces and cause nudism and equipment pickup cascades.)
Currently dry on ammo, but don't want to waste iron on it.

removed condition of up until ten dye products (so that dimple cups keep getting milled and spawn can be planted multiple times per season).
I think that there should be a limit on milled dyes. Otherwise we'll be swimming in dimple cups and all the extra dyes will be tying bags needlessly.
Post by: Magistrum on April 24, 2018, 10:22:46 am
Edit: Yep, stacks, not individual number (We have 19 units of dimple cup dye, but only 7 stacks, and it passed.)
Added condition for "Amount of unrotten dye items available is at most 10", which should give us ten bags of dye, whatever the color.
Mood edit: One of the hunters has a fey mood... Don't do it Stukos, don't do it! Craftsdwarf shop, hope it's not something useless.
Editier: A bone mask... We should give it to a distinguished soldier, since helms don't protect nose and other facial features.
Since everyone was unfocused due to not being able to pray, I threw two statues down a hole and set up the very appropriately named "The Cathedral of Tightness":

I find that a single steel spiked ball in a weapon trap works just as well for nobles.
Worst case, you get a noble well trained in dodge. Probably less extravagant than a cistern, pump, floor drain, and an airlock system. Especially with our current lack of water.
Any luck finding the lowest cavern, which usually contains a lake? It's a pain to haul it all, but we should have enough dwarves to allow some to haul.
Mask is probably the best artifact I've seen in a long time. Nobody makes artifact weapons or armor anymore.

Are the water in the ponds suppose to flow in the tunnels when they tawn? I think there is not enough water in that system to prevent evaporation.
We should make the pump stack of magma-safe materials right? In case someone latter on decides to pump magma up.
I see there is a magma glass furnace near the magma, making glass pipes and corkscrews should be easy. A hole to trow sand bags down there would speed things. Although there would be a hole piercing the fort, what you guys think about it?
Also, great turn. I will be wating for scott.

At least I didn't experience evaporation in this map above 1/7, but maybe I didn't pay enough attention.

tempting, it might actually work if i restrict a row of stairs or remove it and rebuilt later, although there is no stair straight to the magma level.

Scot was suppose to be the overseer, but he went missing a long time ago. So its upon me to guide the fortress.
Lets start doing something I seldom do: planing
I have in mind pumping water from the caverns to a surface cistern. I also want to make the pump stack magma safe and usable later on.
The bottom right corner of the map seens to be the perfect spot. It misses the caves, dont hit the water directly, so we can control the water acess to the pump and the only place we escavated the will be hit is the exploratory mines.
We will need to power the pumps to. I remember reading a codex that said tho higher the wind mill more power it will generate. Is it true? If so i am thinking in building it on top of a large and tall reservatoir. I will be conducting some tests. A water motion sorcery also could work. it even could be installed temporaly on the ducts that will need to be carved.
This is a mockup of the digging blue print. The marked digging square indicates the soft part of the pump, it is also a up ramp to connect the energy. The solid part of the pump will pump in a small chamber to keep the stone warm (preventing temp recalculations)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
There is some time since I last designed a pump stack, so i have to remember some basics.
Since the area surrounding the pump stack seems so unimportant, it may be useful to make a small chamber surrounding it. It will have plenty of space for a minecart elevator if it is ever needed.
something like this:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
It will have plenty of space for tracks, I think there plenty of space for a double helix track. One
helix track going up and one going down. Overkill? What is it? Can you eat it? Time to figure the next layer and set up macros.
layer2:

Maybe move the circle a bit up

Macro time:

I tested the macro and it need some adjustments, but I think it will work
edit: seems like the game is simply not reading some parts of the macro. I dont know why, here is the macro btw

edit 2: turns out i had extra espace on the end of some commands, after i tried to remove it i forgot to update the macro ingame before testing once again
(https://i.imgur.com/0ggzC1p.gif)
IT WORKS
edit 3:
A screw pump consumes energy 10 urists, a wind mill procudes 40 urists max, a water well produces 90 urists. We dont have a river, so we will need 8 to 16 windmills, to have some extra energy
I need 27 screw pumps to pump water some levels above surface
I mandate the construction of the 30 gabros block, green glass tubes and enormous screws for the first part of the stack. Also the pump site is designated. 4 glass furnaces were constructed for glass gathering, the magma glass furnace will focus on the production of tubes and screws. Green glass blocks production is temporaly suspended.
And we have a siege.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The alerts warned the civilians to hide. We have a dwarf in the enemy forces. The marksdwarf in tower shoot the globins, but they runned out of ammo before they could do serious damage to then.
The siege force is 32 heads strong, including 2 dwarfs and no animals. The ponds tawned and some globins entered the water ducts, despite not having access to the fortress that way, and the brigdes being open.
The dwarfs keep shooting the stationed invaders that waits in the boder of the map
They brought globonite :D
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The evil force is scaterd, only few globins made near the entrance and second tower. Some soldiers will ask wat they want
The alert was lifted to allow the wounded to be recovered.
We lost:
kogan regbekar, reservist
Datan Mebzuthral, Marksdwarf
Rimtar Momuzmedtob, Dwarven baby
Onol Solonavuz, Reservist
Edzul Nosimaban, a westreles aparentely
Athel Taronalath, Speardwarf
Tun Gimoslan, Westreler
And more people that were lost in the announcement page. I recorded most of the battle and will upload latter to youtube, I addmit that the globins hit harder than I expected and i quite new to invasions.
Our population is 99 now.

Its 16th, granite, 555
The siege ended and i saw a minnor flaw in my design. There is one single place that will be chanelled in the various z levels, I need to dig it first so the miners can dig after it, and only then it is to be chanelled. Easy to fix.
Bronze now will be made if there is less than 10 bars left, no more cancelation spamm for the lack of bronze.
Good news: a kid has grown up to be a peasant, he will be a engraver for now.
Since we can make steel and bronze, the iron and copper stuff that the globins brought will be melted.

Some important workers will not haul anymore
18 slate: The pump materials are ready
Good news, the windmills produce 40 power,
26 slate, we have another baby
I made a huge corpse pile to prevent the corpses in the ponds to be lost when the pond freezes, some dwarfs are experiencing emotional shock. I will allow then to rest a bit

17 felisite, another kid turned into a peasant, i wil send him to engraving since its the neck point of the pump stack. The shaft must be petry

Post by: onciblu on May 03, 2018, 06:52:11 am
As for the markings, Its because I wanted to hurry the stack, the chamber that surrounds it can be dug later. I dont know to whetter to do next after finishing the water stack:
1- expand the stack to the magma level, prob wont finish in my turn
2- make a surface reservoir, may be not so usefull right now and i fell like i am neglecting the military that I wounded.
3- Carve the surround chambers, smooth it and start carving the tracks, witch is not much usefull now that the stacks is only 24 levels high, although it would be better to run test the tracks now to fix the design in the lower levels.

The flaw in the design is that the pump doesn't pump from the block that the pump bellow pumped, but rather a tile further. So the liquid has to travel 1 tile before being pumped, making the stack very inefficient. Welp, living and learning.

Yeah, and I had a bad time flicking that lever on and off not seeing the brigde being raised(blind me).
>Why are you dumping in the magma sea? I may have left the Atom Smasher garbage dump inactive, and a quantum dump stockpile, but that was because I didn't realize you could just use a minecart on a track stop for quantum. Re-activate the garbage dump, and definitely get all the corpses underground if we have necromancers in this world.
Oh, that was wat that role was? I never messed with quantum stockpiles, and did atom smashing once. Also, I guess throwing stuff into magma is cooler (although they need to go all the way down, but who needs efficiency?).

Despite posting the cliffhanger (I hate cliffhangers), I couldn't contain myself and continued playing straight away. All maing squads were sent just outside the fort entrance and waited the cyclop, who came rather fast. Dastot gave the final and was called cyclop slayer after that. Magistrum also fought and took quite a bit of fat from the beast

The marksdwarfs and the garrison were sent to deal with the flys. Peharps we could catch and tame one or two, but I don't fell like setting up cage traps now. Instead some common cave creatures will be tamed

3rd Opal, Inod tagzùzrovod, also known as "Inod Leaparches" became Axe Lord.

a hammerdwarf and a spearman have been found dead. I don't know whether they were a monster hunter or a regular soldier, probably the former. Aparentely a giant bat bited their head and shacked as if there was no tomorrow. The main squads were sent to kill the bat so the body could be recuperated. The marksdwarf Astesh Rulducim got the kill. No one else seems to be seriously hurt.
Ten days remaining for my turn to end and the booze stock is dangerously low, new stills are being built to speed up booze production. Despite we having 420 plump helmets, brewing are being canceled for the lack of leafs, it wont be cooked anymore to prevent the cook from grabing it. The brewers wont do mundane tasks anymore
21th Opal New puppys are born, I am worried about a puppy explosion, so some will be gelded
1th(?) Granite, Spring has came and my turns is finally over
Things to consider, the booze stock is quite low, despite a automated order running all the year. Maybe now that the brewer is focused on brewing booze will go back at the normal. New brewers could be usefull too. I having been using the big mined layer to miscellaneous things as animal training; sand gathering glass furnaces; placement of coffins and so on. It is meant to a temporary thing, not permanent. The corpse stockpile is empty/ almost empty. But many dwarfs have seens lots of corpses recently. I dont know how this will behave on the 44.10 version. Lamas are having babies, some gelding may be necessary, I didn't much to control animal pop, I just gelded some puppy's, not all of then. There is 400 power connected to the stack and 400 unconnected, do as you wish to handle the power distribution. The levers that operate the stack are near it (you can see it in the lever inauguration gif). If anyone ever want to use the macro, just ask and I will send the file, it needs more tweaking, but is better than do from zero. It may need a redesign to fix issues previously mentioned.
I am still to upload the goblin siege footage to youtube, but this won't happen this week. And its mostly me having no idea of wat to do.

Don't remember if the bug where lacking [grasp] body parts generated a cancellation span when trying to bathe, guess we will know soon.
Maybe set profession of those dismissed "Retiree" or "Disabled", they already have only inconsequential labor enabled anyway, what little they can do should keep them mentally healthy.
Everyone be careful sending the Garrison around, since they have no armor. Consider sending the marksdwarves instead, who have a better chance of being alive long enough for help to arrive in case of siege or the like. (Also so that the towers stay staffed)
Since you mention a small abundance of dogs, let's try to chaining them around the towers to detect ambushes, since we don't have the C&OLEWS in the surface anymore, and solve two problems at once.

You may have missed the previous turns, the four reserve squads train three months of the year and work as civilians for the rest. Only the small weapon specific squads train all year.
Or you want them to train all time, then go ahead.
By the way, The Garrison will have some soldiers training and others guarding the two towers all year long, and they do not have armor. The Marksdwarves have armor and are to train all year long, but not guard the towers. The reserves squads are assigned bronze armor, but I'm not sure there are 40 sets of armor for all of them right now.
There may or may not be less than forty, buy you may or may not have made that enough.

So quite quickly, a goblin siege happened, and since I didn't actually know where the levers were (I guess I wasn't really paying attention to the thread, even though I DID read it, I think? I didn't remember any of it) I had to use the military to fight, and learned that this could happen (https://i.imgur.com/3WmScWp.png) and that you can be grabbed by a bolt (https://i.imgur.com/LMjYlrm.png)
This was the aftermath (https://i.imgur.com/Qrt427o.png)
and here's what was left of the military (https://i.imgur.com/wl7U5xI.png) (https://i.imgur.com/kRl4ZRx.png) I destroyed the reserves to put them into the normal squads...
This cannot happen again, I must do something.... I have an idea.... *Scourge begins cackling insanely*
Oh, the elves are here... give them weapons I found in the siege, some worn out clohtes, and some gems.....
(https://i.imgur.com/unNH3h5.png) Guys, how do the elves have this, aren't they supposed to be unable to use stone and such?
Other than that though, I bought some clothes, some barrels, some cages, aaaand (https://i.imgur.com/bp5iDDF.png) sadly though, only the bushtit is female among the birds.
(https://i.imgur.com/jXflMGN.png) This happened
Just as an FYI, this is what I've been dealing with after the battle where this dwarf lost their limbs (https://i.imgur.com/LJYBiYD.png)
(https://i.imgur.com/3mbGtE9.png) Sweet, although other than a few animal trainers, a glassworker and a mechanic, most of the dwarves went into the squads.
(https://i.imgur.com/iMTFHhJ.png) That can't be good... Also, at some point I built a wall around the corpse stockpile, so that the corpses wouldn't be as visible
(https://i.imgur.com/uODnba3.png) So after this happened, I closed the drawbridge, locking some dwarves out, and in trying to get them out carved a path back into the fortress and sent the axedwarves out after the beast, 3 or four of them died but so did the beast (and like several other things, I forgot to get screenshots.
And then this happened (https://i.imgur.com/DSBnNjT.png) Luckily the only casualties were a puppy and a marksdwarf, and even more luckily no one was bitten.
Just gonna put this here (https://i.imgur.com/LMvRVB1.png)
(https://i.imgur.com/k1zEBxl.png) It begins....
(https://i.imgur.com/dgQvW6b.png) It continues....

Well we're getting them back boyz! Kinda. Sometimes it's just a depression spiral instead, but yeah. Kinda being a mix of the spirals. Tantrum, Depression, and Oblivion Spirals. A glorious, tasty swirly cone of a triple threat.

The squads (including I think atleast one of the weapon squads) weren't set to active/training and as far as I can tell, had pretty much no training whatsoever, and yes, I DID kinda miss the last few turns
Oh, ya, I think I hadn't put the marksdwarves to train yet and the reserves had their own alert called "Reserve Rotation" while the Garrison uses "Garrison Rotation", i think.

Last I checked, it was about 130 something dwarves, so not hundredsOf course, he will go on to torture other, unhapier, dwarves afterwards.
So... It flips over to Stoat tales then... I'll PM him, let's see.

Everyone is depressed and life sucks :'(
Right off the bat, we have a huge issue:
(https://i.imgur.com/E6czMEB.png)
Nobody has been keeping up with our justice system, there's literal criminals skulking the fortress and there's no witnesses. Which means everyone in the fortress is a criminal and everyone has each others backs! A shameful display! I need to fix this ASAP.
We also have several thousand unclaimed puppies running around, we are literally drowning in puppies. This is another issue i can fix easily, I call it "HAPPY PUPPY SLAUGHTER DAY" which should fix everything :)
It umm... didn't...
A wrestler called "puppysl4yer9000" went a bit too far with the puppy killing and accidently killed Iduno. We all agree it was an accident though :/
(https://i.imgur.com/zTAJrvI.png)
I guess cyclops slayer is now dwarf slayer too :(
I'm getting started building a jail area to incinerate our heathens, hopefully they can get to it some point this century. Thankfully our dwarves are starting to recover from their crippling depression:)
Also:
(https://i.imgur.com/fcyxizX.jpg)

It is now Mid-autumn, i'll continue the fort soon... Until then :)

I'm very depressed :(
I've just noticed we captured some elk birds deep underground. I've decided to take it upon myself to train them and have some tasty elk bird omlettes for our dwarves. Hopefully it can convince our population to stop being so sad.
A few mecenaries have joined our fortress to make up our population after loosing several in bar fight related incidents. This is good and all, but our biggest problem besides our temper tantrums is this:
(https://i.imgur.com/xtEElTa.jpg)
We are running very low on drinks. The problem isn't finding veggies to make the booze with, it's that we have a drought on barrels and pots. I've set our non depressed dwarves to start mass producing rock pots but a lack of booze will capsize this very fragile ship we are sailing on.
(https://i.imgur.com/T0FTScl.jpg)
This artifact was made, not too shabby. Although we do have nicer stone to make a ring out of then microline...
Time to keep myself busy:
(https://i.imgur.com/hyKOaSs.jpg)
And maybe just a little something for myself:
(https://i.imgur.com/krvNfW1.png)
Unfortunatly, while all this was going on, ur militia leader Kivish went on a murdering spree, killing 6 dwarves including our cyclops slayer:

Things have really gone to the shitter here, I am currently writing this journal from inside the hospital where, as you can see, thing's aren't going much better.
(https://i.imgur.com/zgxDkeC.png)
whilst our drinking situation has been mostly fixed, we have a lot of injured dwarves and regular fights have killed and hurt many dwarves, including our beloved Magistrum. Coffins are being prepared but with the corpses of the dead lying, rotting on the floor, even more of our people are going insane. I don't see an end to this...
The most recent hoodlum is a certain dwarf named "cheese", who we've

In order to combat
this problem we have with crime, I've elevated a hauler to be our captain of the guard, equipping him with some iron gauntlets to smash the teeth of anyone who breaks our sacred dwarvern law. His name, obviously is "Daredevil". And it was going great until:
(https://i.imgur.com/bJiLQbR.png)
We are so screwed...
Puppysl4yer9000 has been dragged in as a replacement law enforcer, knowing full well she was the one who killed iduno, but she's the only one I trust to defend herself again our rogue militia. Now she's been stricken with melancholy...
Oh god no... everything is lost...
*Stoat has been stricken with Melancholy*
Ok fam, we have 2 options regarding this fort. The year is almost up but it is almost unplayable and the tantrum spirals are stopping pretty much anything else. It's just a matter of time until the fort dies and it's not as exciting as it sounds.so here are our options:
1) someone else takes the fort and attempts to pull it back together, i don't think it's possible but they're free to try. If the lack of any and all progress won't get on your nerves, the lag will.
2) We re-start the fortress, i think is the best option simply because it will be playable.
I'll leave you lot to vote on the next course of action, i'll upload the save when everyone comes to an answer. Until then, Peace out dwarflings, i'm going deep deep down to dwarf heaven.
Oh yeah, and we did eventually finish this:

I am worried by what you define as a "funtidbit". Don't give snowdwarf ideas, he is evil enough.
1) Magma is dwarfier than fire.
2) I keep running out of goblins after a few years. Do they breed so their numbers increase at some point?
3) Maybe it balances out because I turn off werecreatures (set them to zero types in the world gen options). They're massively difficult early game when you don't need the added difficulty (you need to have full armor, or a large number of wardogs, or a good early-warning system, and even with one of those will probably get an infection), and too easy later on when you do. Goblins at least have weapons, sometimes iron.

Post by: onciblu on July 06, 2018, 02:13:41 pm
So you want to bury the dead with respect,instead of pitting all the bodies in a hole and writing slabs as they rise uplike a reasonable overseer...
Do we have water handy? Maybe the constant fights are making the dwarves get hurt andget forbidden from drinking by the Chief Medical Dwarfrefuse alcoholic beverages, contributing to more bad thoughts about dehydration and a higher chance of dying between drinks.
We have a well with full resevoir right next to hospital, which is empty right now. To pit the corpse we would need the corpse handlers to enter the corpse storage and bring it to another hole, then make as slab then engrave it, then built it. I just tought putting the corpses straight into a coffin to be easier. Its not that bad, remember when stoat died? He is already buried... Much of that stockpile is goblins and trolls bit, wich will be trown into the lava onc

We have 2 more holdings. And I just figured how to make messagers to ask for workers, which will be good once the gore is cleaned.

This does not work, because levers send <OPEN> or <CLOSE> signal at once.
That sort of toggling behaviour is possible with minecarts that pass over a pressure plate in a single step (due, say, there being a track ramp just before the plate). You can then link a lever so it makes minecart move that; open allows it to fall below a hatch, close allows it to move over a hatch it'd have gone through.
(Though in the first place, you could use said minecart to release 2/7 water every x frames instead of leaving a lever on repeat that I'm thinking you're thinking of.)

I think you will find the need to call more workers from outside, I did get 2 migrants waves despite the danger, but deaths, including of "important" dwarfs is a common occurrence. I will ask for the statue, maybe even put it in his tomb, he went starking mad and I dont recall a cure for that.
There was too much food on the kitchens, some of it were rotting. There was stockpiles avaliable but not enough dwarfs, I ended up destroying that kitchen, I suspect there is another one somewhere else. Right now we have 2,6k of prepared food and 0,9k of drink.
*likes engraved letters*yeah, there is several doors on the walls but those can be forbid, and even give time to dwarfs to wall in. A bigger issue is that part of the thing doesn't even have a ceiling

Sanera didnt listen the orders to back up, he runned straight away for the group of goblins south of him, against the rain of arrows the goblins sent. While the others squads scrambelled to find its way outside, Sanera found a troll, and with a cirurgical poke made the troll tetraplegic. Not happy with it, he continuasly beat the troll while blocking bolts with his shield. The globins came closing in.

I stopped the majority of orders and put things to productions as it came necessary. Mainly coffins. Booze never stopped being produced I think. At least a wood stockpile was deleted to prevent too many hauling jobs. Even the military was inactive the most part of my turn.
The objective was to let then relax, let then pray and ponder and talk and stuff. The tantrums are a bad tought multiplier: guy gets punch and receive a bad tought, puncher get punished and receives a bad thought, beater beats puncher and receive a bad thought. This not mentioning the people that dies in the tantrums, and the people that dies in depression, they have a family, you know. So I didn't want to push the dwarfs to work on superfluous things as making crafts for trading. I did have a big project in mind, which was to make a double track, as in a double helix, around the pump stack, to bring magma up using minecarts while the pump isn't expanded. But just building a few z levels of pump to make the waterfall took forever.
the doors were to prevent dwarves from having to walk the entire length of the tunnel to get to the other side, and the roof was I hadn't actually finished it....
The doors were usefull, the manouve abilitie came handy during the siege. As for the ceiling, I think we are good unless a dragon comes.

What a problem (quoting for emphasis).
Instead of deleting stockpiles you can set them to take from links only or turn off wood hauling in orders as well.
And nice manouvering - though hatches in the center of 1x1 staircases(so they can't be walked up to) might be better.

(https://i.imgur.com/htEzjoP.png) Whoever made a direct stairway from the third caverns into the living area of the fort, I blame you for this. Luckily it sucked and (https://i.imgur.com/d6X8R3X.png) happened by the hands of mostly children, but also some peasants and threshers and two marksdwarves who decided to be there instead of where I stationed them, of course I think all those dwarves died, but still I killed it with minimal loses besides several military dwarves. I then took care of some justice related things, and then decided to trade with the elves for various things, where I bought all the clothes, cages, food, barrels, two red winged blackbirds, a giant chinchilla, a kea, a kestrel and a male swan ( I really need to get better at taking screenshots of things.) I also found this. (https://i.imgur.com/wdkXLio.png) Which I bought because why not. Afterwards I got this notification (https://i.imgur.com/Te7pI9Q.png). And at the same time (https://i.imgur.com/sCeIY7H.png) so we have a new chief medical dwarf, two filled squads of soldiers, two mostly filled ones, and I moved the last reservist's and the squad with a normal name's dwarfs in order to fill the squads more. I did find a "Monster Slayer" (https://i.imgur.com/OC08yL3.png) who I still put into the military because why not. I did assign a cheese maker who had a tiny bit of strand extraction skill somehow to start work on the adamantine, and then some dwarves started tantruming again and this happened (https://i.imgur.com/HD4wd5d.png) (https://i.imgur.com/9QjxzCX.png) but on the interesting side (https://i.imgur.com/zaAGyaJ.png) also a bunch of corpses are rotting now so we have miasma in the fort, which is probably not good, and I started a few other projects which if I remember I will post some screenshots of them as close to finished as I get them.

If you want a tip, never stop producing and placing coffinsOh, that's right... The influenza...
Careful with grouping the reserve dwarves, the reserves only train a season of the year (reserve 1 - 4 ; spring - winter), so you might run a few hands short during construction. All dwarves with quality-less jobs were designated to a reserve, unless I missed something on the way. The garrison squad rotates their soldiers between guarding the towers and training all year long. Check the schedules for details, I guess.
How good of guard does a giant chinchilla make?

Is there a benefit to doing that instead of a squad of 10 training 2 at a time (or whatever)? I know it says minimum, but I've never seen more than the minimum training.

They're as good at spotting as anyone, I guess. Keeps kobolds and werebeasts from being a problem.
I'm just trying to prevent us from getting brutally murdered by goblins or forgotten beasts that can enter our living area and I can't do much about it because it's a bunch of stairs down into the third cavern level...
Can you wall off a section of the caverns near the stairs? I mean, it's better to not need to, but it happens.

I know it says minimum, but I've never seen more than the minimum training.
The squads are set to be unequipped when out of duty, so that they can haul properly and not drag themselves forever(since they have next to zero armor user skill). When you need a few extra hands you can call them, and there comes the difference:
If you call the squad active for that season the are all armored and armed, and all together near the entrance where they train, leaving you with a squad on the ready while the three other squads run around picking up their equipment (Which I tried to keep in the barracks so that they group when equipping, but there's always a straggler that remembers there's a shinier gauntlet down the forges.
On the other hand, if all squads are training simultaneously but only a few dwarves at a time, you have to station all the squads in a same place to wait for their out of sync colleagues, slowing response, and the dwarves spend the whole month putting and removing armor due to the way the game changes their current job when eating/drinking/sleeping/whateving.

I think the problem might be that the bookkeeper died at some point...I'm not sure the bookkeeper affects this kind of thing. A skilled bookkeeper can maintain his stocks update even after death.
Unless you mean the manager, since when he dies the workshop profiles stay locked until a new one is appointed, so maybe there is some weird activity restriction in place? Have you tried dumping the existing slabs next to the workshop and reclaiming them?

(https://i.imgur.com/I63lP2W.png) So this happened, so now we got a bunch of these, so that's pretty cool
(https://i.imgur.com/RSvZMot.png) Why does this kind of thing keep happening to me...
(https://i.imgur.com/czFXRmt.png) Also this kind of thing
(https://i.imgur.com/JHbMhd2.png) Oh yeah the humans, I traded them some junk clothes and some gems (I also created gem stockpiles on the surface for trading, only for those to be filled with rough gems instead...) mostly bought bags to stop the sand collection spam
(https://i.imgur.com/kjROFh7.png) Oh yay, so this won't be useful at all

(https://i.imgur.com/FpmPSCw.png) I honestly don't know how this one and it's buddy (who died of I have no idea) got up here, the whole thing had an overhang so they couldn't climb up, there are some stairs onto that wall, that lets you get into the fort, but it doesn't seem interested in going to them, and no one else has gotten up there. It was around this point I realized that there was a big thing of goblins near the corner of the map that I hadn't noticed, I had thought most of the siege was just in the water for some reason
(https://i.imgur.com/4aNs5Dn.png)Another dead child... it was inevitable
(https://i.imgur.com/fasl1Jx.png) The trader died because he was one of the ones locked between bridges I think, and I have literally no idea how the goblin died.

(https://i.imgur.com/cY8OU94.png) One of the tantruming dwarves (mine actually) killed this one.

Luckily this FB is suicidal
Notes for the next overseer, 1. I think something wrong with the pathing in this save 2. Don't open any of the bridges, the siege can't get in, and neither can the forgotten beast. 3. Speaking of the forgotten beast, he's probably gonna kill himself, that report was from his habit of flinging himself off of ledges and falling, he also exploded one of his feet from that, he just wanders a small section of the caverns, occasionally leaping multiple tiles, you know that blue background things get when falling/ being propeled by great force, he does that, and goes flying to the side for a bit, I don't know WHY, only that he does. 3. I also don't know why all the goblins and dwarves are having a pool party in the pointless water features with a dead camel corpse, but they are, there's also another camel corpse in a different section with last I checked two enemies. 4. When I tried to make a tavern on an area filled with invaders, so that guests would come and fight, they moved, every time I tried that they moved again. 5. I made a little pump area for training willpower. 6. I made a lot of bridges. 7. I apparently somehow managed to fix the spot that let the last FB in, and I don't remember when I did this or where it was. 8. I got the space for the "Stone Piling Catapult System 9001" in place, but we don't have any logs I guess, so the SPCS can't actually be built atm. 10. We also somehow have no non-economic hard stone according to the dwarves. 11. We also don't have any bags for sand. 12. We also don't have any cages. 13. I repeat, do not open the bridges. 14. We manged to get no migrants, and not even a "Your fortress has attracted no migrants this season" message, so apparently sieges block migrants. 15. I made two levers, one opens all the bridges I built, and is named "All the Bridges" and has a note on it, the other does nothing and has no info on it, it was supposed to be used to slowly lower the bridges that weren't needed, but they decided there was no path to the one you can get to from the entrance ramp to the fort. 16. The second fort is fine. Save is here http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=13934

Hahaha, I can almost take it as personal opinion of the job.
Catapults, these oldfangled qsp systems.
...I didn't know ghosts did that. Or were psychopaths!
Jeez a ridiculous mess. Did a ghost kill the croc or did tantrumer?
----------------
Ghostly Corpse handler. Wish they kept handlng corpses like with animal training and fishing, that'd be neat (I read once that this needs them being killed on job without being interrupted, i.e. by being atomsmashed). They'd probably still go insane though?
I'm not sure what you complain about, but there's a lot of blood in the walls.
The goblins love the pools. They're using an old strategy, called the carp - highly effective on non-freezing maps.
Tho srsly, it seems invaders are picking up visitor pathing strats there.
I spy some trees near those "how did those get up there" corpses. I think that answers your question?
Why keep bridges closed if the siege won't come in?
Post by: scourge728 on July 31, 2018, 10:53:48 am
2.They don't come in BECAUSE the bridges are closed, so they can't get in that way, and they seem to have no interest in going up to the stairways, also I think something in the entryway broke because the dwarves won't use those ramps that lead into the tunnel thing

I've ordered a lot of animals to be slaughtered, we don't need 50 baby crocodiles, 4 will do. We also don't need
I've had to add to the graveyard too, turns out we have many dead that have not yet been buried. And afterplacing about 15, turns out we still have many more dead to bury.

I don't blame her
I've also shifted our priorities from making armour from metal we don't have to making weapons from metal we do have, like admantite, we have plenty of that. With a bit of luck we'll have one finished by the end of the season. We also got some migrants, only 4 and a donkey but hopefully they'll be enough to rebuild our strength as a fortress.

Where our fort is a mess and I can't find anything
The worst part about the fortress being in winter is the lack of any and all water supplies, meaning cleaning our many wounded is very difficult, I've started digging out a passage underground to find an spring or a lake, hopefully the fresh water will be worth having naked mole dogs and elk birds running around everywhere, but then again, we already have that.
(https://i.imgur.com/xuVx3SM.jpg)
We're very good at animals, but that doesn't mean we like them, i elected a smelter to be made but a crocodile hatchling walked over it and suspended the job, WHAT AN ASSHOLE! Our guys can't murder them all soon enough.
(https://i.imgur.com/pj6W3rJ.jpg)
Dammit kid, not that one, thats the wrong doggo!
We have started to forge more weapons for our wardorfs but the constant cancelations make it increasingly difficult I hope our guys can recover their mental trauma soon. Other then that, our fortress is slowly starting to heal, with a bit of luck and more quiet months we should be able to rise to some of our former glory.

We've also had a lot of mercaneries and dancers travel to our fortress, not many have elected to stay but anyone who can fight or improve our morale is welcome to stay.
Speaking of staying, we lso got some migrants useful ones too! Don't count us out of the game yet fam, we're slowly recovering :)

I'll take a look around to find out what needs to be accomplished and why we have wounded. Who needs dwarfin'?
Post by: Iduno on September 26, 2018, 08:30:26 am
Let's see, this is a lot. 102 dwarves, several of which are wounded, and more are too insane to work. The last overseer "got too busy" (hope everything works out, Snow), so the fort is now in my hands. I was chosen as the most reasonable, sane, and useful dwarf in the fortress. Etur 'Iduno' Orangebolt: Fisher, soldier, overseer, visionary.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
First order of business, checking out the overseers keyring. Key f7 now gets us to the upper exploratory mines, and key f8 gets us to the forges. F1 is still the entrance and a pile of corpses, f2 is some kind of stockpile and a lot of dead/wounded, f3 is for the workshops, f4 are our bedrooms, f5 is the forges...cemetery, and f6 is the caverns I guess.
I also added the most important animal training skill to all of our animal trainers: butchery. I'll also hire up some cooks so we can get some decent meals around this place, quit making extra mechanisms, then improve the temple. That'll improve morale around here. And, uh, we're down to 2 coffins, so we'll need a lot more of those as well. I said PARTIES, not coffins. We need more PARTIES. (Someone tell me when people are listening, I can't have them knowing we're all doomed.)
Once some of these orders get through, I'll have them produce more reasonable numbers on a schedule instead of bulk orders. That'll keep everyone busy without overburdening us with 300 pots (changing frequency, and adding product and reagent limiters).
Also, a child is depressed, and out chief medical dwarf is about to lose it, so we've got a new chief medic. Then a bard slipped into depression, a half-dozen dwarves stumbled around obliviously, and our administrator went stark raving mad. If only there were some way to relocate the sanitarium to a room next to a nice, warm, bauxite floodgate with built-in pump system so we
The queen is upset her room isn't good enough, and same with the baron and the mayor. If I can't find their rooms, I'll build them new ones below the forges. We really need some bauxite floodgates.
Did you know our coffins also contain the following: a sow, an ewe, not a stoat, rabbit, turkey, gander, lamb, and a cyclops? Remember the old dwarven saying about burials: When you think tragedies, think bp.
Felsite Update: a planter is also depressed, and we need cages (about 20 times per day) to fill our cage traps. Or the 3 copper bars (each) to make ten copper crutches. So I ordered 5 cages built, and our crutches will be wood now. Also, 5 wheelbarrows to speed up hauling. I hope we have some sane carpenters. 'Red Velvet' is oblivious, ABBA our armorer is also depressed, as is our queen (she never got the rings she asked for). Things are going great. Oops, a screw pump was just destroyed by our soap maker during a tantrum, which may have been cage-trap-related. Whatever, I had our miners begin exploratory mining near the forges to find more metal near enough to the forges that it will get used.
I'm noticing that a large portion of our workforce is currently operating pumps. Also, there is nothing being pumped. I...I'm sure there's a reason. That explanation also applies to "why is our trade depot outside, not near the gates (which are also just a hole with no gates or defenses), and currently fed by a hole in the wall leading directly to the middle of the fortress? We have kennels near our main entrance, which I could turn into a trade depot, and close the hole. At least we'd only have one area to defend during an attack that I know of, and 2 ropes are added near the gates for war dogs.
The wall to the outdoor trade depot is finished, and now I learn that it is the only way to get outside? Has nobody installed a stairway yet? We have several ramps that might go somewhere, but I'll get a real stairway. And another child is depressed, possibly because we need cages for the cage traps.
13th of Felsite: a forgotten beast. The bad news is: We don't really have any way of keeping it from killing everyone. The good news is: I don't know. Hopefully it's killable or can't get to us.
We can't get outside through the front entrance, I guess. I had someone pull the lever nearby, but the bridge didn't move. Hopefully it's blocking anyone from getting in, and hopefully the lever didn't open the floodgates full of goblins. Our mechanic is throwing a tantrum, so it's unlikely the bridge will get fixed. I put the hole back in near the outdoor trade depot, then
Now we're out of coal for making steel. I added orders to several smelters, which will hopefully fix that. I won't hold my breath though, as I was just told we're still trying to make copper crutches after I cancelled the order. Also, we need an empty cage or 3, I know.
An insane farmer has been found dead of dehydration near the graveyard, so at least that's convenient. Also, the forgotten beast doesn't seem to be able to get to us, so our deaths will all have to wait until next month's horrible doom. Also, we don't have enough cages. You don't care, and neither do I, but we're still both going to hear about it. I added more carpenters, and the cages have been ordered. And a spinner is depressed.
Hematite Update: goblins, because we've been doing too well at getting rid of the...six hundred-ish? dead (I disposed of about 200 bodies using the dump command and the 8 coffins I got built). Great. Even better? They entered near the crossbow tower, which is currently unstaffed. I guess that means I'll need to shore up our defenses. I hear good things about cage traps. Mid-battle, a bard petitioned to drink our booze and eat our food in exchange for nothing. Maybe I shouldn't have turned them away; we'll need entertainment after hauling 1/4-1/3 of our fortress to the
At this point, a woodcrafter was taken by a mood, and our mining corps were adding to the job spam with magma-related issues while digging near the magma forges, so I told them repeatedly to keep digging. 80 of us yet remain. I guess Ameli Thitievane came to visit us, and might be some sort of liason? All 79 of us rushed to fill the trade depot with any damaged goblinite within 20 paces and cut gems between complaints of needing more cages. The humans meanwhile managed to kill off the remaining zero goblins and run over our wounded with their wagons. Hey, nice timing, jerks.
Ok, you know how sometimes you're getting too many complaints at once about cages traps, scary goblin corpses, warm stone near the magma, soldiers changing jobs, animals begin slaughtered, and people too depressed or busy throwing a fit to keep working? Our exploratory mining operation "may have" found adamantine, and the notice may have gotten lost in the sea of other messages, and SOMEONE may have told them "I don't care, just keep digging." The 3 flying demons who attacked were going to be more than a match for our remaining soldiers (nearly 10 in all), so all 76 of us (except children) have decided to join the military and make a final stand.
The punchline is our Woodcrafter just made an artifact:

OOC: I thought things were going well, up until the goblins showed up. I know the tower had been getting used, because I saw dwarves there earlier. I was interested in playing a lying dwarf who was spiraling into madness, but didn't get enough time for that. I was getting so much red text that I had to continually go through the announcements pages (so many pages) to see what was happening. Also, it looks like all dwarves need to be craftsdwarves now to keep from being angry at not being creative, and also need large breaks, and also need to see family. The emotions thing might be pretty cool after it has been tweaked, but right now anyone going to a butcher shop will be scarred for life. There's no hope for anyone who has seen a dwarven battlefield. Sorry about all of the demons. That was unexpected.
I can't get the save to upload, but I'll try again later if anyone wants it.

The new emotions sound really rough. I may hold off on getting back into DF for a bit until the dorfs get more stable.
FWIW, pausing the game frequently and manually checking all dig orders helps a lot when a lot of red spam is happening. And hey, at least you got demons! I or the overseer after me - we never quite sorted out who - managed to accidentally remove a whole back wall once and the fort got swarmed by a kobold horde. That was embarrassing.

Still, with the system as-is, I don't think we ever went over 10% refusing to work at any time during my turn (sample size of 1, and for ~2 months in-game, grain of salt, etc.).
It is interesting to see how the weird half-finished projects and work-arounds and lack of knowledge being passed on compounds in community games. Just the results of people having different methods of doing things leading to confusion (usually "lost" workshops, because people put them either where they will be needed or where the resources come from, with some percentage being put wherever there is space) is interesting. It's the first time I've ever seen demons in the game as well. Also, the first time in ages I've played without a graphics pack (I still don't know if it's expected with this fort, but it fits the theme of "simple"). Just because the turn was terrible for the dwarves doesn't mean it was at all bad for me.

You weaklings, crying defeat already!
The surviving dwarves deserve the chance to die violently as their peers!
The main stairway has been sealed. We lost access to the caves and the forges.
The White Demon the has risen up the stairs has either become immobile from all the punches or lost interest, so it is just sitting by the coffins while killing the eventual brave elf bard.
The access through the pump stack is being sealed right now, between tantrums and cage trap cancels (mechanics will be disable right now and for a long time, probably.)

On the other hand, we should have enough low-quality meals to dwarf ratio that we can survive a year or two of doing nothing but making slabs and finding a way to get rid of all of the corpses, if that's what someone's into. If we continue, someone please find out more about Adil Umamkel, the captain who (I think single-handedly) cut the demon's torso off. That was pretty awesome. Actually, thanks to the military training regimen we had going, the suicide charge at the end was nearly successful.
Also, I don't understand ramps at all. As far as I can tell, our fortress should not have been accessible between something like the 3rd and 4th floors, so I added stairs. I also managed, in another game, to get dwarves stuck at the bottom of the ramp they were digging before I learned wheelbarrows can go up/down stairs. Sorry again for unleashing literal hell on this place.

Ramps can get you stuck if you dig like this (side view:

alternating. To ascend a ramp, there must be adjacent wall or fortification with walkable floor above.
Note that for the purposes of building destroyers, on ramp isn't considered same floor. But you can dig the tiles above while standing on one.
It's also possible to hide passages under buildings. Tried following a dwarf around from 3rd to 4th floor?

Reading through I also loved how many of us were determined that it was totally possible to save the fort or that they had succeeded in turning things around. I think the successive nature of rulership is part of what killed the fort as well. Any one of us might have fixed it but we gave the fort away just as it started to pull up leaving the next person to be confused and need a year to fix what problems they noticed.
Really a fascinating read, even if not quite as epic as some of the old disaster forts.

Unless you shrug, seal off the areas with bodies, and let them rot, there isn't much to be done to prevent them from seeing bodies. I mean, nobody cares that there's a bunch of dead bodies in your basement, as long as you didn't know them or put them there. Uh...for the dwarves.

Work got the better of me and I just couldn't play for very long.
I also came down with pneumonia. I am mostly better.
That made me schedule a proper doctor visit.
Then I discovered I have a mild tumor growing on my forehead.
Guess I should have noticed that back when my friends kept me asking if I had hit my head.
But now I am (mostly) on my usual schedule, so on with Simple Fort!
The plan is simple. Savotral, our lovely being of the underworld and resident corpse retriever, is quite busy destroying coffers. Very busy. In fact, he spends about two weeks in the exact same spot punching a coffer at a time. Then he moves one step to destroy the next. Unless there is another in range, which makes being sedentary so much more of a problem for him.
But it is very convenient. Our four surviving psychopaths have little chance of hurting the thing in combat. But since he spends so much time standing in place, we can just drop a piece of rock on his head. Very technical, very precise, as you can see in the, modesty apart, masterfully designed ☼Plan☼.
Spoiler: ☼PLAN☼ (click to show/hide)
Without ever getting line of sight, clear level under, channel surroundings on upper level, upper floor hits lower floor, collapses it, hits lowerer floor, boom! Demon sandwich.
How hard could it be?
Spoiler: A small problem tough... (click to show/hide)
Some idiot bard thought it was a bright idea to go near the demon, and probably took the time to call it's mom ugly too... Better yet, instead of dying fighting nobly and pointlessly, he then ran around with the beast on his tail, brought it to the main hall and then died.
Savotral, Serpent Brute and very emotional livestock, proceeded to kill some guys and roam around, killing more guys.
Result: Every sane man has died.
However!
There are still a number of visitors and someone we chained up in the surface. Which means our strength isn't broken. It is, in fact, stronger! Because demons and whatnot. If I could only point them towards something.
He them decided he liked his previous position as grave digger and went back to destroying bauxite coffers after breaking a few doors and skulls.

Also, I think it's a dog tied up outside? It might have gotten named if it killed a goblin or something. Or we may have just decided to tie up a dwarf.
It was two prisoners, Dumat Kelvúsh, now dead because there was no one to feed him, and a very thin 'Red Velvet', Stonecrafter.
Ten new migrants have come!
Savotral must have heard them, because he immediately went up to the kitchen and killed four of them, then got bored and went back to kicking headstones.
The plan also failed. The new migrants didn't include a single miner, so they took too long to carve the cave-in floor. By the time they were done, so was Savotral, and he moved to destroy another row of slabs.
Spoiler: But the plan worked! (click to show/hide)
They were only able to do it because of all the murderous ghosts rooting for them!

Ps: if ending with a channel, it might be better to channel last thing diagonally so that the miner doesn't get knocked out by dust.Thanks for the tip, I went ahead and ignored it because of panic mining, but I will do it right the next time.
The demons had already began repopulating though, so there's that.

We have no mayor, so I can't appoint anyone to anything, nor can I check workshop profiles, since no manager... I'll have to find out why no one picked up a single "make slab" job for three days already.
Luckly, our record keeper was so amazing that he could see our records in the future, so I still have full access to the z screen items even tough no bookkeeper.
That, or that is his ghost roaming around the office making sure everything is neat. Thought it was just a rando.
Now that I got rid of Savotral, we are all set!
Except for all the bodies.
And all the murderous ghosts.
And the psychotic dwarves.
And the lack of nobles.

I feel the rising murderous ghosts might be more dangerous than the literal demons from hell freely walking the halls unopposed. Then again, they've yet to kill anyone, unlike demons from hell.

It does not go well, Savotral was good at destroying coffins but he liked to leave the bodies for display on the floor.
Everyone is miserable, except for Èzum, who is suspiciously chill about the whole thing...
A visiting performer freaked out and put the doc on the hospital, through the wrong door.
The Animal Trainer killed a man, bringing us down to five working dwarves.
The performer then started some other fights and threw some stuff around.
3 went to the hospital, few cuts and bruises, one broken bone...
They sutured the wounds with adamantine clothing, of course.
Forbid all adamantine strands.
Some ghosts rise up and we memorialize them whenever they show up.
A bit hard since they have the habit of spooking the dwarf engraving their epithet.

We use cloth to dress wounds, right? Or clothing, but I think that would be another kind of dressing then.
Might as well keep suturing with the strands they used, I think they might be useless for regular smithing now.If I remember correctly, they just disappear once the patient heals. A shame, really.
Only three? I expected lot more than that.
Well, there were doors that could ve forbidden, and the west bridge is still working, so those were easier. One was a open wall on the above ground jail, one was a literal hole on the ceiling of the above ground jail,really funny, the gobbos didn't jump in, I discovered when a visitor went "pick up equipment" and got a arrow the the foot. And one on the pumpstack for the mist generator.
I hope everyone stays sane until the goblins lose interest and scamper. If they overstay their welcome I'll send everyone to the towers and pelt them with bolts until they get convinced they need to bring trolls to break the doors.

Yep treehole. Also, there was one over the pen, but I didn't have means(or will) to close it, so they spent some time shooting arrows at the bulls. Surprisingly effective. Still have too many bulls tough.
Right in the money, whenever someone starts getting depressed I burrow him on the booze stockpile level. There are no bodies there, a communal bedroom, I put some tables there and designated the whole area as dining room.

Just in time for a caravan and more migrants!
Seven migrants have come, ready to die. Which is very nice, because their friends had to spend a extended stay at the booze stockpile, so there was no one actually hauling the corpses.
With Kikrost, that makes it 12 brave dwarves. Really nice, the body hauling should pick up pace fast, a bit more and we can start dumping the above-ground bodies too. After that we will move on to the scattered body parts.

I saw our sudden population increase and took the time took refill our cistern.
Spoiler: It was down to a single z-level (click to show/hide)
Oh, I also fixed the dismantled roof on the Northwest Tower. How did that happen?

The Goblins are at it again! The above ground bodies were being recovered, but everyone got inside safely before the g's rallied.
Spoiler: I think they are mocking me, still no building destroyers... (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Also, this loser came along. (click to show/hide)
All indoor bodies have been dumped, and most teeth and heads have been dumped, meaning we can finally enable cleaning for everyone! We can finally discover what is the color of the floor! Here's a tip: Not red! Not anymore, anyway.
Spoiler: Also, ghost are a regular occurrence. (click to show/hide)
Everyone is either 'haggard and drawn" or "under a great deal of stress", except for Atîs, the butcher, whose life is a veritable nightmare, and I designated to engrave the slabs, since that involves a whole lot less of dragging bodies. She'll get better, I'm sure.
There is also Deduk and Èzum, who are fine. I find it suspicious.
The situation is so bad that even the goblins think our fortress sucks.
Spoiler: Oh,come on, quit being such a baby. (click to show/hide)
Why are there so many caged war dogs?
I'll enable general hauling soon, and then we can rebuild properly. I will send some dwarves to the towers to "incentivize" them to go away if they don't leave till Obsidian.
Since only the surface bodies remain, I want to know who is next, spring is coming, and the dwarves are finally calming down from the month without body hauling.
Edit: The first squad to be reinstated is the Marksdwarves squad! No one can aim straight, but that shouldn't be a problem from behind the fortifications.
It's Spring! I think it is Onciblu's turn now, I'll PM him as soon as I finish uploading the save.
Editier: The save is here (http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=14091).

In retrospect, not, I'm sure he is having fun playing Roblox right now.
I guess that's scourge728 then! I PM'd him.
If you are scourge, then here (http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=14091) is the file. It is the file if you are not scourge too.

EDIT: Our militia commander is kind of broken appointing someone just resets it back to nothing after I leave the screen , so no new squads for us I guess, I also managed to get a dwarf listed twice in the same squad
EDIT: I guess I just can't appoint someone who's already in a squad?
EDIT3: I was gonna remove everyone due to the fact that If I'm right the dwarf HAS to lead a squad or it unappoints them, but the dwarf listed twice can't be removed on either spot, and the dwarf leading the marks dwarf squad can't be removed because of them.... so Idek

They sutured the wounds with adamantine clothing, of course.lol
Forbid all adamantine strands.

I've got the save, and will play asapSorry for taking so long to check the thread, it is just some weirdness with the militia commander and squads. There needs to be a militia commander to appoint any dwarves to military service, and the militia commander is the first dwarf of the first squad. I appointed Èzum for militia commander(because he is very chill about dead bodies) and then I went down to the marksdwarves squad and made him put himself on the marksdwarves squad along with his friends, as if he were only a militia commander, but then, because he is not the first dwarf of the first squad anymore, the is no militia commander to appoint other militia captains. (All of this is meaningless speculation, I'll reproduce this and show Toady on mantis once I get some free time.)

You need to remove everyone from under him or replace militia commander in the nobles screen.

Second, I kinda figured that out, but for some reason it let me appoint other dwarves from migrant waves even without a militia commander and appointed one of them as militia commander

No idea what's up with double slots on Zun.
I think you lost more fps from demon breeding than you gained from starving and dehydration. Also, going by Sealer's movement, I think they've gotten lost.
Does the pool the goblins are in freeze?

*Lots of screaming"I think he went mad with the fortress...
It was at that moment, or some time later, that inspiration struck, a genius plan, so when you pierce the adamantine, the demons all fly upwards as far as they can, but since we didn't pierce it from the top, only a few demons got into the fort, who are all dead as far as I can tell, so I could just dooooo this and lock them all back in.... And this is our greatest dwarven hero, the noblest of dwarves who sealed the demons back into hell and brought us back to relative safety, as long as no future overseer mines into that tube ever again..... I gave this mighty warrior the profession of Sealer, so that his/her deeds may never be forgotten, but I was an idiot and didn't screenshot it.Wait, what? How did you even do it? There are three white demons in the caves, along with two forgotten beasts! The stairs are open to the caves! I thought of airlocking the access to the lower half and only sending a team of soldiers after we got back to 50 dwarves!
WHO KILLED MY CAVE CROCODILES!? DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO GET A BREEDING PAIR OF THEM!? VERY!!! WE COULD HAVE HAD A MUCH MORE RENEWABLE SOURCE OF GOBLIN FODDER THAN DWARVES BUT NOOOO, YOU ALL WANTED CAVE CROCODILE BISCUITS THAT NO ONE WILL EVEN MAKE!!!!!!!!!!The hatchlings died very bravely, roaming around, luring Savotral away from the coffins and running towards the dwarves, so that the demon could notice there was more to smash than just caskets.

I sealed the stairs because of those three demons.
If I remember correctly it was a big corridor towards a cave wall in the middle of the staircase.

Everything is fine, nobody (certainly not me) did anything terrible. All of the dwarves just went to the store to get smokes. Ignore those horrible rumors.

Whichever of you is reading this, here is the save. (http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=14102) Have fun!
If they are not able to show up for a week it should go to Gpeter, my fellow hu3lander.
