You are wearing ugly brown robes over woolen trousers and a woolen undershirt.-1 defence

Remove robes.

Enchant the robe with explosive runes.

there is no way this could possibly go wrong. then wear the robes.
 "I am wearing a Robe made of explodium! I DARE you to attack me"
or maybe the xplosion will simply knock away any weapons.

I still say grow.

Rocks don't really grow.

Don't goblins occasionly stud their armour with rocks? Are we going to become sentient armour.

Ferrocement is concrete interlayed with a steel mesh to stop it from falling apart. It would be possible to make a boat from microline, but you would need to make the microline malleable enough to reinforce it with something more ductile. Chances are the only way to do that would be to melt it down.

What the bloody hell do you think magma is for?
also i vote for the statue idea. but it would be better if the statue is made of bronzeSteel encrusted with microcline(us) and menacing with spike of adamantine. then we can hopefully move a Steel statue with deadly sharp addy Spikes with which we can Murder our enemies!

Cage traps and an arena. Use a mass pitting system. Drop them into a area 1 z-level below where your dwarves outnumber the goobos 2 or 3 to 1.
There will probably be a few casulties.

It has been a while since I messed with mechanisms and pumps in particular, but once upon a time I had it figured out.  I can't say I know anything about low FPS designs other than making sure you have a way to turn the whole stack off when not in use.  If you want to post examples (either here or in the Dwarf Mode Discussion Forum) that's be great.  Without looking at the current situation I'm imagining that we'll need to pick a level either above or below the cavernous lake and set up an axle + gear assembly to distribute power as well as a corridor for the magma to flow to get horizontally to the next area for the stack.

It's not quite that bad. it's more of a larger magma reservoir followed by a 90 degree turn. I think the bigger problem is that you may have to construct support floors and walls to stop magma flow and dig channels for powerflow. Also some miners may be stuck somewhere in the works. It's my first attempt at a pumpstack so it's pretty shoddy. Plus side is you should have around 25-30 iron corkscrews and pipes to work with.

Journal of Pokey, Tyrant of Ingizzursul

The outdoor project has been completed And all attention turns towards the development of the pumpstack,
In matters of defence I have set a patrol schedule comprised of an outer anticlockwise route along the borders of our land with an inner clockwise patrol closer to home. It is my hope this will give warning of any ambushes or thieves. Secondly I have created a squad of unarmoured wrestlers taken from the useless dregs of our great society to man this patrol. This will hopefully save our better warriors for the combat which will follow.

a furnace operator has made a Artifact bracelet!


I managed to persuade Libasth Soothenet to get out of that traction bench she has been in. for four years. No longer able to use any kind of tool or weapon I assigned her to the wrestling squad in the hopes she may kick (or bite) some goblins to death.
