I have problems in understanding "prospect". How can I understand how much z-level to dig for the magma?

Do you have a sample prospect you can show us to see what is unclear?

I get MAGMA:0 Z -30000

I assume this means that I have to reach the magma sea, right?

Don't want the turn, but have I been dorfed?

For the burrow + custom stockpile method, define a burrow that contains a dwarf, a food pile which allows only booze and the raw plant desired, and a still.

Assign the dwarf to the burrow. Ensure the still and the stockpile are set to obey burrow restrictions.  Turn on "brew drink /R".

No need for burrows anymore. You can order the stockpile to give to a workshop. If a workshop has assigned stockpiles, it will only take from those.

I thought about this, but how is the queue delivered to the stills? Is there a "built first" order or it's random?
Should I do some !science!?

I got a useful artifact in the first year!



Maskir Amal, "The equivalence of Teaching", a iron war hammer
This is a iron war hammer. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is encircled with bands of oval lavender jade cabochons. On the item is an image of Zon Latewire the dwarf and dwarves in iron. Zon Latewire is surrounded by the dwarves. The artwork relates to the ascension of the dwarf Zon Latewire to the position of queen of The Tombs of Cremating in 1.

Basic value:25.200
Gotta rush to arm my militia... at least the gate is easy to close, the lever is already linked and it's in the middle of the working area, so plenty of dwarves.

Odorrigged fell to a goblin siege. No defense set up, no military training. I decided to let the dorf die.

A few seconds later, Trammeledgravel was founded. This time, all the activity is to be held underground.
Already breached the first cavern, as usual the main stariway was designed to break over the ceiling of the cave, so I just designed a grate to be built over the hole, thus allowing tree-farming but at the same time preventing flying FB to enter the fort.

I also have a river, this time, so I plan to build a tower over the main gate that will release water over the seiging force. When they will come. Because I have already found limonite and hematite, so I just need a lot of wood (I have it) in order to start smelting and forging armor equipment.
But first, I need to build beds.

Odorrigged is due to a quick end by the hands of goblins.
I will never finish building the defenses in time, even savescumming.

Insufference for light, as I suggested before.
They should appear from caverns, and be very fertile.

I knew that, but I initially dug that room as a tree fram and only later decided to set up a poultry/egg farm as well, since hens and roosters are not grazers and trees take a lot of time to grow.
