Magic shops definately, and I usually try to invest in all of them first. That way as I'm running errands between the towns I can shop at each of them and by the time I complete the loop the shop in the first town has restocked. The next thing I invest in is the blackmarket vendors in derphy and port kapul, since they seem to have a higher chance of stocking artifacts for sale than the normal blacksmiths.

Yeah, well mainly portraits. Simple as a google image search and then cropping and resizing the pic as needed. Sprite work is a bit tougher.

Here is a pic of my main char and her little girl. I've got a quite a few very nice artifacts accumulated over the course of my time playing that have been inherited down through my chars. Needless to say, I'm reasonably well decked out. I can post some more screenies of the other stat pages or various artifacts I have if wanted.

Maybe they're being saved for an expansion. Was kind of surprised that they weren't in yet either, as well as Shikieiki not being in yet. And honestly more than a bit surprised that Koishi made it in ahead of them, really wasn't expecting any of the SA chars to be in it, except as bg chars.

Wasn't expecting Nitori in there, but she could be fun to play.

Anyways, it'd be nice to see yall in the steam room. Would love to get a few matches in.

You have unexplored sections of the caverns with webs in it. Your dwarves are trying to task one of those, but can't find a path. I usually solve this by forbiding all webs in my stocks menu then going back and unforbiding a couple near the caverns entrance. Also the webs that appeared in your fort proper, will disapear if a dwarf/pet walks over them.

Hmm, only runnin 1.17 here. Perhaps I should finally update too.

I haven't done an ice mining operation in forever. But from what I remember the wall should produce the ice boulder and it should stay there for use, though it is likely something might have changed since I last tried it. Another note, are you in a glacier biome or tundra biome? There are subtle differences between the two, and lots of people will use either biome name interchangebly with the other. Granted since you are making the ice wall form, I don't think the biome really matters at this point, cause if the area you're making them in is too hot, it shouldn't form the wall in the first place. Long story short... I'm just as confused as you are.

The water in the bucket freezing, I can answer though. The bucket will act like insulation so long as the water is initially drawn from an area that doesn't freeze. This is easiest to note in a tundra with an aquifer, where if you remove the roof over some of tiles immediately adjacent to your well and your dwarf attempts to draw water from them, he/she gets lots of useless ice. But if he attempts to draw water from the still subterranean side, he/she will get usable water, and can carry it to a point in a freezing biome to dump it where it'll immediately form a wall. I've done this to build natural ice wall palaces so I can engrave them vs having constructed ice walls.
