I realised that shortly after posting that post.

That doesn't change the fact that the planters aren't planting. I haven't enough animals to make the number of dwarves I have last.

As my miners ACTUALLY BEGAN TO MOVE I'm going to reach the magma layer...

If I survive, I'll abandon and restart.

There aren't any plants anymore.

Theres ONE planter doing anything. If he didn't keep returning to the meeting hall every five minutes, I could actually have been able to plant some of my 400+ seeds.

I've been making cages, so I can butcher some stray animals- I've got a lot of walking meat walking around.

I've a population of 48 dorfs, and 35-40 don't move. I'm not even able to make anything out of metal, as I lack the coal required.Despite this, my metalsmith has claimed the workshop, when before he had avoided it like the plague. I doubt anything good will come of this.

Ugh,if I abandon and start again, i'll just be put in the same position...

Well, I sorted out the corpse problem, and designated the entire fort be smoothed, as I couldn't think of anything else to do.

Question: If you have plants/barrels/still/ loads of dwarves doing nothing , what are you missing if you want to brew things? 

They haven't had alcohol in a year or so...

I've also kept digging downstairs, as I may as well some more workshops, just because. It's not like the dwarves are actually going to DO anything with them.

Ugh, another boring year in Goldmazes. At least i'm not dead yet, though I can't make weapons, so my millitary has a grand total of... a hammer to kill stuff with. Hey, if I'm lucky they'll get good at wrestling.

Not that my fort has attracted anything in AGES.

Everyone stands around doing nothing.

No-one wants to brew anything... I've got a guy gutting gems, just so he's doing something - I can't trade, so there's no reason to.

And now I need to remember how to move bodies, bacause one of my dorfs went mad, and tried to kill everyone (he was put down instantly). I mean, I've got a coffin and all, it's just...

I'm bored of watching them mill around aimlessly in the meeting hall. Only the Mason and the Carpenter ever do anything, and no-one ever leaves the hall to use the rooms designated to them, despite the rolling clounds of miasma engulfing them.

Because no-one moves, I can't make my depot accesable. There's no way around this...

I can't even kill my dorfs spectacularly, no-one is willing to move to dig to the magma sea- yet they aren't depressed enough to kill each other (the dorf went insane because he must've wanted some kind of workshop I didn't have).

Ugh! It's ironic that one of the only dwarves even doing anything is called Urist!

That's cool.

My unarmed millitia tore apart a Kobold, which is great but no-one is moving the body.

I have plenty of plants, seeds, barrels, but not a single dwarf wants to brew any alcohol. I suppose it because none of them are brewers. Same problem with metalsmithing...

I'll have my one working miner (I have three, but two just sleep) dig somemore. Least it'll give me something to look at.


Oh, and I talked to some elves about some trees, and I said 'yes' blindly, probably due to my millitia never training or anything. I'd be fine with that, but even though I have fortifications, due to the aforementioned 'metalwork' thing, I can't bake ballistae or anything...

Nah, the merchant/donkey starved to death.

I just want to grab all the stuff from the bodies.

Now to try and force the dorfs into doing jobs...

Orbital Magma Cannon...?

Hm. Well... that's SO COOL!

I'm I went NEAR magma, it's likely that i'd flood my fortress.

EDIT: K, how'd you seize goods from insane merchants that've beed standing in one place for months?


My dorfs need food and clothes and weapons and...

N-ooo.

I've been using random, as I got tired of restarting over and over.

When I get the hang of things...

A liason came and I asked for stuff for next year. I think...

Then their merchant & donkey went insane on the edge of the map. I'm not sure if they left a wagon, so I'll look for some lootable stuff I suppose.

I've FINALLY got farms going, and everyone has a room. My bookeeper is 1% of the way towards documenting EVERYTHING EVER.

All i'm missing is booze,I'm just making some stills...

K.

I've been looking through the guides for fort mode.

I just need to get farming down, and I could probably survive.

"Hey, listen! Hey, Listen! Hey, List-"CRUNCH!

Anyhow.
I threw someone for the first time today. I'd wrestle more often, but getting rid of my weapons kinda makes me scared.

Ugh. The save messed up, the fort never existed.

I'm looking for the area again though, it was pretty good for a beginner.

EDIT: It's official, i'm a fool.

I could plant non-underground plants inside without the mud... And i've blanketed the entire map with 'gather plant', so i'll have the seeds for it.

I'm feeling lucky this time!

Oh, i've plenty of above-ground soil access. That's where my other farm plots are, and i've set different seeds for different seasons, i'm just sure it's not working.

I'm up to 22 dwarves now, and the pond they all drank from has dried up. I made a mechanics workshop so I could make a well, but it requires something I don't have (a skill not an item)

I'm trying to make a record of everything, and i've a bookeeper with a few relevant stats and an office, but no idea how to make records. So next to food/above drink it always says '200'? even though I have no meat or fish, and one plant. I've got a metric fuckton (pardon my profanity) of seeds though. About 8 of the dorfs are farmers too.
I can't conceivably see how I survived the first year. Hey, at least i'm so poor that nothing has attacked me yet.
What else happened? Oh, yeah, I made a bunch of training weapons for my do-nothing millitary, but they all got stolen. whoopee.

Can't remember what else is happening.

Well, I dug a channel of water underneath my fortress, in order to make underground farming possible, but it...went bad. I don't have any miners or picks that aren't underwater, so giving merchants acces to my depot will be...hard.

There's alcohol (on a hand-to-mouth base) and I made a farm plot, but I don't think I put the seeds in right.
Oh, and a single kobold theif kept running in, and then running away, stealing nothing.

I'm going to have to build my 'stairway to hell' somewhere else...
