Brassvoices has started, and Prospect has some high hopes for me, in terms of hematite in my igneous extrusive layer that is my first, though I don't have any coal or lignite. Maybe I'll fudge a reaction I know I won't be using. My first move was to cut away my own private section of land to call my own. We have fire clay, so I'm going to be using that as my building material for the outside. In the Basalt layer, I've run into tetrahedrite and alunite. Alunite will be a glorious splash of white against the bloody color of the fireclay.

Got my first seige recently. It was a group of lashers, and they came by right as my caravan of dwarves did. This is in the thrid or fourth year, because I forgot I had turned invaders off, and I was ready to test my defenses. The bloody caravan guards routed the whole lot after killing three of them.

I would like to disagree. I imagine the Boozons (dwarves) as particles of the Fortion (Fortress, derivative of the Fermion [Yes I know it's the class of particles that contains Bosons, but it works ]) and that the Fortion emits a "magnetic" field of a set size at the beginning of the Fortion's lifespan. The Fortion cannot grow to beyond this size, but can occupy all of it or very little and still manage to exert this field around itself. This field allows all dwarves to observe all things the dwarves have already seen within this field, but anything that leaves this field is no longer under affect of this field, and therefore unobservable.

Animals, for instance, once they enter the field upon an observed piece of land, become instantly acknowledged by all Boozons as existing, though it may not be in direct view of any Boozon. Goblins and necromancers offer a special challenge, but I think it's solveable easily enough, as they exhibit "Anti-Boozon" qualities, such that they are able to enter the Fortion's field of effect undetected, and, when spotted by a Boozon, collide with it in a very energetic and destructive manner. I shall therefore refer to Goblins, Necromancers and similar creatures able to hide as particles of the "Anti-Boozon" class.

You know I used to listen to the band before they busted their balls on ice.

GET IT

a clover pun, for sure, but it's not very gneiss. I don't think very highly of drugs, so your joke was loess-t upon me.

If it's just thread, it could be all getting auto-loomed. Silly to say, but I forget stuff like that a lot. Also use stockpiles in you hospitals. They're a lot more efficient.

I've been keeping my dwarves pretty happy; there was no warning of a tantrum. Just him getting punched dead out of the blue. I'd have posted a screenshot but my computer's not connected to the Internet.

But yeah, all dwarves involved were sane and happy. He just took three punches to the head.

EDIT: turns out assigning captain of the guard opened up the justice system. My first time dealing with it, haha. Still. I like to think it was an induction into the military.

This actually looks very useful to me - I'm messing around with the idea of a borderlands mod, and I'd love to be able to make my leathers special for things like skags and alpha skags, but I can't imagine how - would you mind allowing me to borrow that spreadsheet of yours? You'd get full credit if this thing gets bigger than a personal mod.
