Thekos Turn

The level below has been sealed off by an up staircase. Below that is an up down staircase, and after that, an access tunnel leading closer to the magma sea, both bone dry




The level above...



And 35 z levels above this is an aquifer that I breeched from below to try to fill this space. The mist is from the massive waterfall from above, which doesnt really explain why half of the lower level is flooded, and the other half is barely flodded

You can make wooden blocks.

Though, I have made it a habit to always bring 3 stone blocks with me, as well as a handful of raw wood and stone

Atom smasher is probably the easy way, or just use a bridge a pult for lolz

Grab his lazy butt and toss him in the trade depot

Make a burrow that is only the trade depot and assign the broker to it.

Ok, this is just plain silly now

Economy is not evaluated in the first year for penalty. Reasoning is that it gives others a fair look at the others growth rates, and some forts have more pressing matters to tend to besides the economy in the first year.

Still, I agree, your growth is fairly insane. Just be ready to shoulder the burden of being a wealthy fort in year 3.

I don't bother with military. It just causes more problems for me then anything else.

MAke sure you edit the raws in the region folder, and not just the main folder. The main folder only is accessed in worldgen.


Aside from that, and besides the magma crab possibly making plenty of !!FUN!!, no ill effects

I have a plan to make a well about 40 levels below ground, using water from an aquifer at soil level. I seem to be having problems with pressure however.

The lowest level has been checkerboarded with walls entirely. Despite that, the level above, where I have my water reactor, has been completely flooded. Fortunately, the actual well area has been sealed, so all that saltwater wont effect the well. Not taking any chances , I had a door built on the level above that, in case the mechanics area floods.

More interestingly. While the area just under the well and waterwheels and the above level have been flooded to 7/7, the rest of the space is only at 3/7.

Any thoughts as to what might have happened?

.... Unless the water reactor has double pressurized the area, which can prove to be trouble later.

This level shows the well basin, and the flooded reactor



And the level below that

Elephants and rinos cdr? Looks like you got your own share of fun.

My wealth is so low cause I spent most of the year doing an aquifer breech and dealing with saltwater, leaving me nothing to really build wealth with. I don't like needlessly using trees. I still have silver and gold at my fingertips. I imagine in the later game, once I get the forges up, that will change rather fast.
