Indeed. I've also been spending a lot of time on science-fiction focused discord servers, so the climate here is an interesting change of pace.

I captured a full-up Guild terror ship when it landed in my territory, without taking a casualty.

Hot damn, it's been a long time since I've done anything here. Feels like an old friend.

The new stress system definitely seems problematic, but not necessarily entirely unrealistic. It seems reasonable that dwarves who work hard all the time, and then are forced to loot the corpses of an army slaughtered by their friends, will break down under the stress, even if their rooms are fancy. I feel like what's needed are more ways to handle stress beyond chugging alcohol and looking at finely decorated beds, not necessarily less trauma.

This stuff is what you need to centrifuge. It looks as though all you really need in addition to the flourine and some basic shit is nitric acid, which you're already producing, but it's central to gunpowder production. As such, if you start mass producing uranium hexaflouride, you'll slow down ammunition, unless we up our total chemical production first.

The attempt at production of the chemical using a raw mixture of elemental flourine and crushed pitchblende results in a vicious fire and the injury of several workers.

{Nice update, Gwolfski.}

{If you dismantle the tablet, you can probably get the idea of its design, but you lose access to its stored data, and you can't really produce nanometer scale transistor blocks, even your magic isn't that good yet. However, what you already know in addition to the data on the tablet should allow you to produce all sorts of electronics or computer systems at the sorts of scales you actually have the ability to produce. If you want crude, large-scale microchip-type capabilities, you can definitely accomplish that. Eight bit microcomputing and so on will require more iteration of your manufacturing technology to accomplish.}

{Keep in mind, the timed badness threshold will not end your research and development opportunities, you'll just need to be fighting an active conflict alongside development.}

{Yep. Not that there's a lot of water aboveground to irradiate.}
