Wait, or just throw your hands up in the air and let anyone trade at the depot.

Turn off all the labors though, wait for him to eat, drink, and sleep and then he'll get there...eventually.

It'll probably pass, it's got several political hallmarks.

1.  It's stupid.  A requirement of anything cooked up by the majority of elected officials.

2.  It puts faith in the American corporation as "ethical".  I still fondly remember a long ago psychological analysis of the American corporation as an individual entity.  The findings in a nutshell, well, if they were individuals we'd call them psychopaths.

3.  Terminating any extant contracts will do wonders for the economy.  Those businesses getting those contracts will lose a revenue stream, and they won't need the employees.  Of course, government contracting is typically a waste of money for most things.  It costs more, it's inefficient and to quote an old coworker, "There's just something about managing people who make 3 times what I do that leaves my heart warm."

4.  There's actual language extant to remove elected officials and eliminate their benefits.  I'm rather surprised by that one.  Normally it's the overpaid people at the top who cause the problems.

Unfortunately, have to be able to login to the website to view your link, while not the actual text, there's a nice analysis of the bill from the House Fiscal Agency here.  Got to love the list of groups against this one.

They'd need to have the masonry labor active and stone mined to build a stairway, unless you're making it of wood, then they'd need carpentry active.

Too true.  One will be a break from the other.

Besides, you'll have all that lovely coloured wood for all sorts of creativity.

And now I'm actually got a world and a site, and a cavern collapse to start things off.    Now I'm outta here for a while, time to do some digging and figure out what the heck I want to do with this place.

LOL, more than enough room.  I was remembering where I think you were complaining about a lack of space and plans to cave in the surface a few score of z-levels.

I could see this potentially growing into a secondary and sizable addition to go along with the tower.  <_<

It's right after the volcanism settings and right before the megabeast settings.

Fired up a few more along the way, learned a few nice new pieces of detail.

#1:  Some forms of "crap rock" (I'm looking at you Orthoclase).  Are not counted in the shallow/deep metals even though they're part of the stone minerals raw.  Good to know that.  This may only be true for .21 and not earlier.

#2:  Raw Adamantine is not a deep metal.

At about 6k my shallow/deep metal 2 biome site didn't have any metal in some situations, but it did have Orthoclase.

I unfortunately had to skip 4.5K 24K, and36K since a dwarf civ was genned right on top of it.  They needed to move.  Regenned the worlds 5 times with no luck.






And this one I was hoping would be particularly interesting since it's past the theoretical wrap-around point.  Unfortunately it's not. Most of the map is lit up as shallow/deep metal just like 48000 but my location, I've been recycling over and over is...utter crap.


It'd require more testing to delve further into this, but at least one thing seems to be conclusive now.  Stuff isn't getting flagged as shallow/deep metal in .21 if you can't smelt it.  Which is a general relief compared to the .19 situation where people were reporting cobaltite or something for a metal.

A little more learned and a little fun from it.
