Bay 12 Games Forum

The link was fixed. For convenience, I'll post it again here.
I'm glad the fort is actually playable now, let's hope we can get a decent momentum again. If there aren't a bunch more people who want to join, I'd like to take another stab at overseeing somewhere down the line. It'd be nice to play a turn where there isn't only one dwarf for half of it, haha.

((OOC: I hate to double post, but here it is:))

Journal of Glloyd, Dwarven Survivor:

Summer draws to a close, with the new arrivals beginning to settle in. Thus begins a new era for the fort. I have instructed the others to start removing the corpses from the fort, as to make it livable again. It appears that they have made me the de facto leader. Despite my wounds, I carry on, showing the other dwarves through the blood soaked passages of Mirroredfreezes.

24th Galena

What is this? Some foul Kobold has stolen Zegosthin... And I find myself not caring at all. There is so much work to be done that a missing artifact means little... In other news, I ordered some dwarves to drain out the lower levels. Hopefully, they can be put back into service once cleared.

Limestone

A human caravan arrived today, reminding me that we should build a new depot before our dwarven brethren come. But wait, on the horizon... Is that?

A small goblin raiding party! Most likely stragglers from the siege, looking for shelter from the cold. We shall give them no quarter!

I ordered my men to form a squad and charge at the approaching goblins. We would show these goblins that Mirroredfreezes is still something to be reckoned with!

Late Limestone/Early Sandstone

*Blood is smeared on some of the pages, and the writing seems shakier then previous entries*

We managed to beat off those goblins... But our victory came at a cost... We have two more critically wounded, and another one dead... I myself am confined to bed due to multiple wounds on my body... Luckily, if you can call it fucking luck more doomed migrants have arrived at the fort... It seems we have a large surplus of food and alcohol, so the priority is moving all the dead... There are so many... They line the halls, their blood is tracked on our shoes... Will this place ever be clean?

Late Sandstone

A caravan arrived today, christening our newly built depot... I told some slacker to go trade with them, and he sold some of the dead's clothes for some equipment we needed... We probably got the worse end of the deal, but at least we're still alive, unlike the rest...


Opal

I am feeling much better, well enough to get out of bed. It appears our dwarves have finally cleared out almost all of the corpses and refuse. There are two massive piles on the surface. At least the cold will keep them from rotting even more...


Late Obsidian

As the winter draws to a close, so does my time leading these people. Mentally and physically, I cannot do it. They shall elect a new leader from amongst themselves. My time leading these people is up. I shall remain in the fort though, and do my best to help it keep going. To leave... To leave would be to admit the goblins won, and to give up all we fought for. As my last act, I ordered those dogs I found in the lower decks to be slaughtered. Some can stay alive, but the others... We need their meat...



((OOC: And that is all. Stocks are fine, there's a ton of food and alcohol. What needs to be done is rebuilding stuff destroyed, slabbing and coffining ghosts, setting up traps, getting wood somehow, and just generally surviving. Beds are needed, and a lot of the areas and rooms I set up were temporary fixes. Also, a lot of bins are needed. There are piles of clothes everywhere. Good stuff to ship out and trade. And that's all. Save is here Good luck! You'll need it...))

EDIT: THAT LINK LEADS NOWHERE. My internet messed up. I'll try uploading it again later.
REEDIT: It works now. Good luck!

Still, SOP for contact with an alien species without biohazard suit should be medbay check. Maybe the beast spreads airborne contaminants, or something.

Though I doubt many people would follow it.

Ideally.  Nanotrasen employees are not particularly known for following protocol.

Do you know what confuses me? Why Captains don't sentence people to public floggings for some crimes. I mean, what else is The Chain of Command for, anyway?

It's for disciplining someone... in the chest/head.

On a three person sandbox round last night, we managed to get the thermoelectric generator working, after some trouble with the hot loop. Despite that, IT WORKED. Albeit for a brief time until we accidentally lit ourselves on fire...

Anyways! Here it is, in all it's pipey glory.



Yes, that is the escape wing. The hot loop was located inside R&D, we reinforced the floor.

I'd love to see the thermo engine at work.  And aren't you an admin, Glloyd?

Why yes, yes I am. Also a coder/mapper, so I feel like given some time I could hack this thing together

So this kind of relates to the experiments with heat transfer pipes. My internet's been down the last couple of days, so in some spare time I had, I went diving through the code to see if the old thermoelectric generator could work on the current server. Everything I looked at suggested it could, you'd just need an admin to spawn the actual generator and the two side pieces (I forget the exact names, they look like turbines). I *think* everything else could be done by hand. It'd be worth trying one time on a sandbox round, so you could get the CO2 needed, and not make everyone hate you.

Happy birthday Toady! Here's to many more.
