DF General Discussion / Re: The Nature of Olm, and an odd cave formed...

« on: November 09, 2007, 03:15:00 am »

I thought so too, but that's Diorite and Dolomite actually. I'll dig under it to check, but if it is, then this is the PERFECT fortress... Rock, wood, a brook down the bottom, and magma? ho ha, I ain't a never leavin if that's the case!.

Edit: Nope. unless it's waaay down. I haven't dug that deep yet.

DF General Discussion / The Nature of Olm, and an odd cave formed...

« on: November 09, 2007, 02:34:00 am »

This is a fairly decent spot I've chosen, however I hadn't counted on this little odd site bit;
28k png below

In this circular... hole cut into the mountain (I honestly thought it was a meteor strike or something but it's one level tall, no roof damage) There are two tiny pools, with two giant Olm, and about 6 Olmmen. Sending two farmers wielding a steel spear and axe, I took them out with no injuries (aside of the Muskox one chewed a couple chunks out of), and then realized where the webs came from; several teeny tiny olm, wandering about, apprently shat the webbing out at odd intervals( you can see one just below the blue rock in the circle, and yes, that's not a spider). Now Giant Web Shoes are worth two to an anvil, so I'd like to keep this area untouched (plus it's neat to look at) save to harvest webs, but currently, have anyone seen olm(the little ones) grow into an olmman, or even into a giant olm? Is this a lifecycle thing ten years down the road, or ever?

Also, anyone know why I got the neat circle carved out of the cave? I'm just curious. And anyone got some neat caves formed?

Oh and the area itself is kinda neat. http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/8064/necrolancesfullrf6.png
for a full slice.

DF General Discussion / Seeds of Rejection

« on: November 03, 2007, 11:37:00 pm »

There's plenty of good seeds people are finding hither and yon, but what of the most timeless (and time consuming) of them all? The Seeds of Many Rejection.

This is my first one to crack a hundred, 105 to be exact, of a dozen creations. A testament of Toady's work no doubt.

So how about it? What's the Longest you've had to wait? 50? A hundred like mine? More?

1669188960 has three or four, but See the thread on Seed rejection on why you may wish to avoid it.
