Yeah, the 30k/60k target isnt going to be met through conventional means. It's going to require a complete restructuring of the fortress into an industrial food machine.

One thing, how about we keep a sizable stock of wood aside for fertilizer? While its effectiveness is nowhere near enough to warrant continued and sustained fertilization, it would help as a short-time boost of production as we near the end (about 5-10k), though this boost will only be able to be sustained for 2/3 years tops.

Wjhat we need is a multi-level map-spawning tree farm with legendary woodcutters, a minecart system for fast and efficient delivery, and a high-profile team of potasheers and woodburners.

I can take this now, if that would be good.

Yes, please do so.

When the clock struck midnight at the turn of the year, the king's advisor dropped dead. That's a bad sign. A year that starts with death is sure to bring much more of it. Then again, it might also be a good sign- Giant Hamsters have never been friendly to Breadbowl, so the death of an enemy may signify a year of prosperity. But it was the king's advisor, and the death of an important figure does not bode well for the nation. The future is hazy at best, and often does not mean what you expect.

A few of the king's inner circle passed by me as I mused about what the future might hold. One of them laughed, and told me that if I knew so much about the future, maybe I should try using that to help Breadbowl instead of muttering over food scraps.

I told her that I would be happy to help avert the coming disaster... or help maximize the coming prosperity.

She laughed again, until one of the other dwarves informed her that due to the viscountess's retirement, the date, and an obscure law from the year 43, what had just conspired constituted an official offer of leadership, followed by my oath of acceptance.

The first dwarf turned very pale and walked away quickly. I told her as she left that that was a bad sign- pallid skin signifies a coming illness.

It does appear, however, that the bones of my reindeer meat roast were correct--a great windfall did await me today. Or perhaps I was looking at them sideways, and they showed that death was in my future. Or upside down, and they meant that apples awaited me.

Well, we shall have to wait and see what the future holds.

I can take this now, if that would be good.

Yes, please do so.

Wow. I booted up the save and I am... more than a little intimidated by everything going on. Any advice to help me get situated so I don't screw everything up?

[Gwolfski]

Grow strawberries 🍓

[Bearskie]

The whole fort in general is pretty resistant against fuck-ups. I'd say just hammer it, and haffa' good time.

Pretty much this.

BUT, in case of a siege or a breach in caverns shit hits the fan, there are levers next to the hospital (located at the farming level or hit F7) that control the main draw bridges, there's also a lever that forces invaders through our barracks if you cut off the other bridges. It is located in the main dining hall to the bottom left.

The first caverns are also connected to the second caverns.

That's all really. Go crazy!


We also have some leftover pigtail, cave wheat and sweet pod seeds that you should trade away to avoid getting into trouble. Buy any seeds you see that can be grown above ground in our biome! The King demands more variety! Human traders should bring some so keep a look out. Also keep a look out for the favorite foods of the King and Queen.

[Paddywagon Man]

In my current game, I just made a stack of roasts worth 166944 dwarfbucks, I think I'll join and see if I can top the feat!

Also, looks like giant hamsters are kind of a nuisance in this fort? I'll try to be vigilant let they bring Breadbowl crashing down about my ears.

[QuQuasar]

Hey can someone help a beleaguered mayor out? I don't have time to track down and tally up ToniK and Zuglarkun's production results for the main page. Could someone compile them for me in the usual format?

ie.

Note: There might be some slight discrepancies with the way the now imprisoned viceroy had tallied the outgoing food. That has been corrected now.

In the aftermath of the former viceroy's incarceration. The Viscountess shall personally take over the viceroy's duties. All the illegal plump helmets, plump helmet spawn and underground crops were incinerated in magma. As for the standing situation regarding the lack of a viceroy, the high council shall screen for a suitable candidate. In the interim, all orders will be conveyed from the high council by the viscountess. Disobedience will not be tolerated. Dissenters will be hammered.

With the food export situation out of the way, we turn our focus to other matters.

[DDDragoni]

I got super busy all of a sudden, and together with Breadbowl's low FPS, I won't have time to play until Thursday at the very earliest, probably later. I only was halfway through Spring, so if someone else want's to grab it in the meantime feel free to roll back.

I'm curious if the dragon is still asleep in this region of the world.
