Bay 12 Games Forum

Migrants have arrived, and i'm out of food (AGAIN!.)

While I make a feeble attempt to channel water inside so I can grow plants for the first time, I simply have everyone collect plants, in the hope that dwarves eat plants. It's something for the idlers to do I suppose.

Actually, I could slow my demise if I simply waited awhile then butchered some animals...
Oh, wait, there's a shrub in the way. I can't channel the water. I'm doomed...

I wish I could say something non-boring was happening, but I never last that long.

I'll just reclaim, reclaim, reclaim, until I get the whole 'not-starving' thing to work.

EDIT: First ever 'Mysterious construction'. "That's great Urist, but if it isn't edible, i'm going to feed you to the Carp".

EDIT2: Oh, whoopie, a lignite door. That's just great...

Wall them off with some supplies, so your old dwarves don't get attatched to them (in case they die), until you figure out what to do with them.

Tomorrow, I can get on DF again, and attempt a farm. I don't think i'll succeed though. I know soil is required and all, but I can't tell if i'm making the plot on soil or not...

At least the dwarves have beds, and doors, so they can starve to death comferably in a sealed fortress.

Kaguro, what do you mean like an Elf?
You could cut so many trees, that you could bathe in elf tears. Or, if you prefer, their blood.

Except dwarves don't bathe.

(My fort does fine, until migrants arrive, cutlery in hand, and eat my meagre food stocks. I really have to figure out this whole farming thing)

EDIT: I'm on a forum for a different game, and we were doing a 'King of the Hill' type thing.
This is what I posted:

Yeah, you're lucky you were steamproof. You'dve been supercooked.

I unleash MOLENAROK upon you, releasing my army of GIANT NAKED MOLE DOGS upon your position.

The GNMD 1 bites Tweakenings liver! It is bruised!
You strike at GNMD 2! You hit it in the lower-right leg, bruising the muscle!
GNMD 2 bites your upper-left leg! The severed part flies off in an arc!
A major artery has been opened!
You pass out due to exhaustion!
You have bled to death!

YOU ARE DECEASED!


My hill.

You get a cookie for the obvious reference.

Oh great. Now I revived an old thread.

Oh great. Now i've responded to the revival.

Ruthless eh?
Sounds fun.

Umm, y'know farms need soil right? Do I need to water them at all? If so, are buckets used, or should I move the river (Which will have certain results, I excpect.)?

Is that the thing you get when  'Weapon' passes through Urist McEnemy?

Fine.

Lucky for you i'm not the kind to flood your room, or wall you away from society.

For fort mode, I'd have to say 'Steam Machine' by Daft Punk'.

Perhaps something more depressing would fit though.
