My map has a 3-layers aquifier.
I made a mistake while draining the second layer.... and I had to retrieve a backup save.

Well... What was once a happy fortress, is now a !!Fortress!! I messed up one designation, got annoyed, covered the entire sky in magma, and dropped fifty dragons in the middle. Turned on fastdwarf too. Now people are just teleporting around, flipping out because all their buddies are dead. Wow. Go !!Firt!! This was actually so amusing to watch.

Oh no, the game crashed while saving. :'(

But I find some gems below second layer. So is it possible the third layer has a solid section?

It's less the children and more the fact that I have gotten exactly one semi-useful migrant, and he was a carpenter.

Did I mention they are all novices, too?

The shaft I dug actually goes uninterrupted from the surface to the magma sea, but when I breached that I also got multiple announcements about chasms and pits, and it looks like every cavern level is connected. Still haven't found any other metal than silver (and candy). Where's the deep metal you promised me, embark screen!?

And my fort's population tripled with the latest immigration wave. Have enough to fill all important functions now, and with the magma I can start a metal industry, hopefully without the magma crabs incinerating anyone.

I learned that legendary climbers make a mockery of many ways I normally include in my entrance design.

Thought I was high.
Thought I was free.
Thought I was their divine destiny.


I was wrong.

Nine levels. Nine sodding levels. Of Aquifer. NINE.

It took the noble dwarves of Fastships almost four years to get through that aquifer. I came up with entirely new ways of pumping when I realised I'd run out of power. I learned how to make vertical axles. This is definitely an example of a personal best. When the pumps were finally no longer necessary, I put an axle through the whole ten levels of vertical aquifer staircases, and we have it running a millstone down there underground. Totally unnecessary, but it makes me cheerful...

During this dig through the never ending aquifer, the dwarves of Fastships killed not one but TWO minotaurs.

For those four years the dwarf liason from the Mountainhomes said "the world is the same as ever"... but this year, he's brought information of conquest, and we now have not one, not two, but four baronys in residence....

We are now carving out a huge dining hall, with aquifer fed wells, waterfalls and dwarfwash. And four large offices, four large dining rooms, and four large bedrooms. And of course, four large tombs. I'm so glad this didn't happen during the aquifer of hell. Nine. Sodding. Levels. I think I'm not going to do that again...

Anyone know how we might get all that bog iron out of the nine levels of aquifer? Because there's a lot of aquiferous iron in there.... Sigh.

I created a new world with 2014 years of history. It generated really fast, in the blink of an eye. It turns out everybody died almost two millennia ago. Dwarfs, humans, elves, even goblins: long gone; only their tombs still stand, bleached by sun and eroded by rain. Beasts roam the lands and necromancers share their realms with creatures of the night.

But Armok send forth 15 dwarfs and their children to settle and conquer the Everlasting Planes in his name. They shall rule the heavens, the soil and the rock. Numkivish, Windlancer - our pride knows no fear!


This was the first time one of my dorfs was declared monarch right after unpausing. Usuall you get at least a little head start, even if your civilization is dead.

Managed to get the magma smelters and a forge set up just in time for a blacksmith to be taken by a mood. He's still working, but since all he took was a single lead bar I'm not expecting much.
I uncovered what seems to be the only deep metal ore on the map: bismuthine. So I've got lead, silver and bismuth and no above-ground trees for my metal industry. Hope there are goblins nearby...

I finished my cistern and dug a drain into the caverns, and on the other side was four troglodyte skeletons, one buried under thirty helmet snake teeth, a giant cave swallow skeleton and mangled giant cave spider chitin. What happened?

And I had my second carpenter mood and make an identical willow door to the first one. That is both my carpenters making identical doors in two seasons.
