Time and interest. That includes the creator's interest as well. Sometimes you just get bored with what has turned out to be a rather boring idea.

Eh, I'm not any more "good" than anyone else here. The assumption that everyone plays that same exact way kind of bugs me, but that's not important. I'm being too serious. I take my complaint back.

Anyways, people drop elves in magma because they can. Because the game is such that you can play any damn way you please. There are very few limits, and it's fun to test those limits, and that's fine.

For a serious answer, not all of us do those things. In fact, [humorless prude]I sometimes find the whole "ha ha you should kill the elves and atom smash migrants" thing to be kind of annoying.[/humorless prude]

I do slaughter puppies and kittens by the truckload, but that's not a bad thing! It's good clean fun.

Well, this is just depressing. I'm officially a resident of Calumet, in Michigan's copper country. Is it finally time to secede, and declare ourselves the independent state of Superior? Even if it would mean re-opening the mines and tying ourselves to Canada, I would probably be for it.

Aww... Sitsu is the cutest demonic pink slug ever to slither into a fort. At least, that's the impression I'm getting so far. Nice.

I like that one, Buttery_Mess. He's one intense looking speardwarf. The battered and scarred shield is a nice touch too.

I'd think that dwarves would ignore shuttles altogether. They'd go the space elevator route. Now that's a megaproject.

GrizzleBridges, that is tremendously magnificent. Almost looks like something from Ralph Steadman. I was going to try one of my mspaint scribbles, but no. Not here.

I'm very sorry, due to some disasters in my personal life, I'm not going to be able to do this. Very frustrating.

Ducks, ducks, everywhere ducks. Endless waves of ducks!

Ducks and rhesus macaques are teaming up to destroy my new fortress. Who needs goblins when you've got hordes of goddamn ducks zeroing in on you, bent on destruction. Ready yourselves... The quack of doom approaches.

Sweet honking baboons. Not the ducks, OH GOD NOT THE DUCKS!!

Don't you have dogs? Or at least a small amount of marksdwarves? Traps are pretty easy to make, too. That, or a door.

I killed the ducks using sheer dwarfpower. Now, if only I could do something about all these dwarves who are so miserable and tantrumy. All just because their best friend drowned in a pond, after dodging the deadly beak of a dastardly deranged duck.

It seems pretty good, I guess?

Honestly, while I've been playing dwarf fortress for quite some time, I've never done (or at least, finished) one of these succession forts. I've never played another persons fort. The fortress design here is so completely different from my usual habits that it's taking some getting used to. But, yeah! It looks pretty ok. The living quarters are far more spacious than mine usually are.

More to come later, as I adjust to these mods I've never used before. This is a learning experience!

If you find a way to make reproducing megabeasts, I swear I will shake your hand/punch you in the face, at the same time.

That said, do any eggs laid in fortress mode produce viable offspring? Or is there some sort of limit?
