Forum Guidelines
Like one of those art suggestion threads, but with programming? Sounds awesome.Yep.
Most definitelyDwarven Forum-Pyramid. New kind of mega-construction???Not gotten on embark, but on reclaim!Yes. It stiil leaves the question of the first anvil.So:VIVA LA QUOTE PYRAMID!Where did the First pick come from? couldn't dig to the magma sea and make metal axes without picks.Trees can be explained.What did I tell you about circular logic?But then, say, where did wood come from? you need wood or metal for axes. for metal you need charcoal. for charcoal you need wood. So for wood you need wood...What do you mean, 'where'? From embark of course.1. No.I am pretty sure not every combination is possible. I never had rock or gemstone or glass weapons or bone or bone anvils.
Well, we're waiting on the anvil in the hopes of solving a very important question.
That's easy for me - clearly, the first anvil was bought on embark or acquired from human caravan.
2. If that was even a possibility, where did that one come from? Square one.
Don't argue with circular logicSpoiler (click to show/hide)
Bring it from embark
Embark, no. Anything gained from embark has to be available from the mountainhomes, otherwise it won't be available.
...Except for steel anvils.
YOU'RE ONTO SOMETHING HERE.
QUICK, SOMEONE MAKE MORE CIRCLES
A pick could have come from a bonecrafting strange mood.
1) Naked prehistoric dwarf embarks on a volcano and gets a *wolf bone pick* from a mood
2)
3) Magma forges make anvils for everyone!
1. Ancient kobols steals ancient bone pick.
2.
3.Ancient kobolds make the first caverns with bone pick.
PROBLEM?
Yes. Kobolds could never do such a sophesticated thing. As they are small, weak and unintelligent.
The first pick/anvil was made by dwarves that dipped ore lying around in a nearby volcano and then fucked around with it, as dwarves do, over the course of many years.
No it wasn't. It was created by their survivors.
