Whoa.Pure?

I didn't see any other ingredients listed. Just Rubies.

Yeah, the book side of things is a placeholder but the rest of it is actively mentioned in Devlogs as the targets of test runs. We know those are supposed to be in there, probably as a balance to the fact that only dwarves can actively make artifacts from scratch.

Not sure if being elevated to artifact status increases the durability of an item.

Sorry, I've been away for a while.

Last thing I did with Danger was finish the lodge and kill a pack of wolves. I've gathered all the crafts I made for sale, but I don't really have any towns in reach. They all seem to be fortresses, which I detest. This is a human civ. There should be towns somewhere.

Classic DF. Cats are a fort killer on their own if kept unchecked. That said, cooking pets can get that way too.

Besides I only can imagine the looks on the face of the town council if that idea was proposed.

"Alright gentlemen. What about we tie our prisonners into the very heart of our village, so they can traumatise children we'd lock with them ?
-Excuse me what ?
-The only problem is how we can keep the place flooded
-The place...flooded
-Yes so we can force the kids to swim in stagnant water from three to twelve years old"

Alright, next update coming soon, maybe tonight o/

That would be a serious case of "I think our leader is insane" mutiny. I simply thought that maybe, in a generational fort, you might want the children kept safe so the glorious nation of Mong Kima doesn't have yet another bloody leak to deal with. The full on creche is fun in a dwarven fort, but not needed here.

Lol I'm far, far, far to be the best player around. I can't even pierce an aquifer. I'm just your run-off the mill starving artist with a liking for DF.
Well I guess I'll keep them inside the keep then. Maybe I can have a room with a stockpile of toys.

Seriously tho, if you're looking for displays of technical game skills there are a lot of far better players in this very forum. I don't have the skills and this is not my focus anyway

To be fair, that's not really a case of technical skill above your level. How do you get the civilians to come inside during a siege in the first place? I'm assuming you do.

The only difference here is that instead of tying the burrow to an alert, you assign the kids directly to it and they stay there until they grow up. That's the easy version of a creche. Just a room for them to eat, drink, play, and sleep in. Most people assign their entire internal fort as the burrow and be done with it, but if you want the kids to learn to be better soldiers in advance, you have to learn the systems the game uses, and build a specialized room that takes advantage of those. That's the design I shared with you. It puts them through swim training every time they want to satisfy any needs, and scares them until they're hardened to it. There's other stuff people have thrown in there over the years, but this stuff alone would help tremendously in the beginning.

Better to keep the trench dry and go through the investment of trap-laying in the bottom of it.

We really need a creche in this fort. All these child mutilations are directly because they keep going wherever they want and they're not corralled like a real-world civilization would have done.
