Place some grates over the hole the water is going to drain down. That should keep you relatively safe.

The update that changed their building behavior, is something of a mixed blessing if you ask me. But what I have noticed, is that they screw up and stand on the build tile far more often if there is a down-ramp adjacent to the build site. They'll run up the ramp to the build site and start the contruction right on the site itself. When doin those multi lvl constructions, I find it best to use up/down stairs. They still mess-up occasionally if there is no ramp, but it is far less frequently in my experience.

I've been playing a bit the last couple of days. Mainly playing my elf at the moment. Haven't really seen anyone in the guild online, unless yall are all outside the guild.

I know I told a few of you if I ever figured out the account and pw for my first mabi account, I'd take a screenie of my char. So earlier today I had a bit of spare time, and decided to rack my brain for all my old possible account names/emails and passwords I might have used for it. Well I finally got it, my first mabi account I had created over 4 years ago.


Well I had a fun little bout of nostalgia, finding her again and even running her around the world of mabi for a bit. Also found a few other of my forgotten about accounts though none near as old as this one.

There is also a dedicated thread for this.

You may want to post this in there. You may also want to list some unique and interesting features that your world tends to generate a lot of. And happy world genning.

So I see. It definately looks interesting, and if I'm understanding it right, looks like I'll have close-combat, smithing, and archery as my highest talents.

The first season in a terrifying embark is always a hefty amount of luck. Like most everyone said, start digging asap. Do not bother setting up temporary workshops on the surface, get yourself a little 1 wide hallway and set a meeting zone in it to get your dwarves sheltered somewhat. The longer you are on the surface the more likely the rng is going to kill you. The pack animals if you can get them in your hole and get to the caverns quick enough to feed them, can be useful. Otherwise leave them on the surface, they'll probably be undead before long out there, but better undead out there than undead in the hole with you.

I've been working on the 1 pick, terrifying tundra challenge as of late. I've had a fort that lasted less than a week cause of a pack of undead elk spawning in viewing distance of my wagon. And then my very next attempt lasted 5 years, and still going. Something that might help is just bringing the bare minimum to survive, less crap to haul in to your shelter from the wagon that way. A pick or 7, and a barrel of plump helmets probably.
