Whenever a transaction occurs, monkeys are spawned equal to the value exchanged.

I'll have to check if caged dragons are available for purchase the next time the caravan shows up.

I had a very strong crying spell this morning. I was looking at RWBY content on Tumblr and I had a very sudden wave of overwhelming longing to go back in time 3 years. I wanted to see Monty Oum alive and well again. I wanted to see his version of RWBY so badly. I started crying for him. Crying for the man who has occupied my every thought since he died.

I still need closure, but I don't think I will ever find it.

The grieving process is a complicated thing. It's different for everyone on every level.

When Monty Oum passed away two and a half years ago, I wanted to vehemently deny that he was actually gone. For months after the announcement, I could barely scavenge enough energy to do anything else other than video games. Whenever my attention strayed from them, my thoughts always cycled back to him. He has been in my thoughts literally every day since.

The odd thing is that I've only recently started having dreams where he's still alive and well. I would be amazed and indescribably happy, because I end up passing all of my checks for dreaming (which admittedly aren't many, but still). Every morning following these dreams were nightmares.

As much as Monty's death hurts me every day, I have been very slowly learning to channel that pain into action. I have been writing a story dedicated to him for the past six months. Infrequently, but it's far better than nothing at all.

The pain will loosen its hold, given enough time, but it will never vanish. Acceptance is more than simply dealing with the pain; it is learning how to use it as motivation and will power.

Urist McPerpetuallyDistracted has discovered the use of models and templates in engineering.

Okay. What does this mean?

Also, the world managed to progress into the Age of Myth from The Age of the Roc because I decided to spawn and breed Dragons.

Also also, I would really like to know what the hell is happening in my world, but the open-legends command in DFhack isn't giving me many historical events. The last two ages have a grand total of 0 discovered events. And I even have the Dwarves active twice a year (Spring and Autumn). The Outpost Liaison keeps telling me the world is the same as ever.

For context, this current date is 25th of Slate, Year 9. The Fortress of Siegeanvil was founded in Year 2.

Can't lose a bet if your bank account ceases to exist.

Not certain how to do with createitem

But, you can create an unit that yields shell (i.e. spawnunit GIANT_SNAPPING_TURTLE MALE) and then call exterminate him

And then have dwarf bucher him

=)

Alternatively, you could alternate forbidding other items each month if your caravans can bring shell-bearing creatures.

Thanks for the commands, but I already made a workaround by filling in a hole with water and having a fisherdwarf catch mountains of pond turtles.

I think the dwarf ended up making a candy grate. Useful for when I open up the circus.

Making a fishing spot with DFhack? Or is that too crazy to work?

Probably the only thing that will, for better or worse.

I've also had a dwarf drink him/her-self to death (suffocated in a pile of vomit). Their mood prior to death was full of "annoyed that they couldn't do this or that recently". Odd, since their stress was at the absolute minimum or close to it.
