I just noticed that when I ran out of wooden logs while making rock short swords the cancellation message said "Needs plant logs", which would seem to imply that there can be non-plant logs.

Well, any plants show up as viable options for the wood stockpile. But just because Plump Helmet logs don't exist in game doesn't mean that {valid plant} log doesn't show up in the stockpile listing.


And on that note, Plump Helmet Logs sound delicious.

Breaching a double aquifer.

Calcite - 1192 [wth?  Embark said I had both a chalk and marble layer!]

I believe DF Prospector specifically ignores layer stones. Since Calcite occurs only within limestone or MARBLE, its presence merely confirms that you have a marble layer.

The anwser is obvious. The elves impregnated your dog and cat while they were waiting around bored at the trade depot.

I think this is appropriate.

Oh no, it's definitely working -- I mass-melted all non-masterwork doors I had made, and when I remembered that I had done that some time later, I had plenty of iron available again -- I just don't know the ratios involved, and am trying to figure out an easy way to test it.

If it's "steam power" then it's already unrealistic. Forcing steam through pipes as some sort of simple trap, maybe, but steam power? Not quite.

Let's look at this realistically.

Coal Power Plant = burning coal to heat water to generate steam to turn a turbine.
Nuclear Power Plant = nuclear fission to heat water to generate steam to turn a turbine.
Solar Plant = using sunlight to heat water to generate steam to turn a turbine
Hydroelectric Plant = using water to turn a turbine.
Wind Plant = using wind to turn a turbine.

Clearly, steam power != steam punk

Any questions?

The ancient Egyptians had nobles called Nomarchs. Sorta the feudal-lord equivalent -- but Egyptian.
