You make steel from hematite. I'm currently digging out hematite. Well, my dwarf is. Once there's a boulder dug out, have somebody make steel at the smelter. (It's in the middle right of the lower industries. South of the main corridor, close to the river.)

I know how to make steel. Problem is that no one seems to want to put in the effort to digging up the hematite.

Also the unicorn mauling random civilians in the main hall.

Oh boy, unicorns.  It will be fun to watch everyone spiral into magma-fueled madness menacing with spikes of unicorn bone thrive with a rich unicorn bone export legacy.  Yeah...totally going to happen...

Anyways, I would like to request the most useless dorm you have.
Onyx Discforge:Military:Professional Distraction:Male Dwarf

Give him double shields (or just one if you can't do that in 0.23) made from the heaviest not-too-important metal you have and little/no armor (having him run around in silk panties leggings or something would be hilarious).  Have him train solely in dodging and blocking, no weapons allowed!  Then when we have a pest problem, send him outside, lock the door, and see how many unicorns he can distract/kill.  I'll then keep a list of how many points each redorfing gets for a multigenerational competition.  Fun and brutal death for all!

You know, given how these succession games tend to turn out I'm willing to bet that your dorf will somehow become out fortress's mightiest unicorn slayer.

Onyx Disforge the Useless Dorm has arrived!  A bedroom twisted into humanoid form.  It wields twin shields and is covered in unwashed bedsheets.  It menaces with spikes of dirty laundry.  Beware its deadly stinky bedsheets!

Alright, time to load up again, since the words for a CW just aren't coming right now.


Taupe seems to have finally put an end to the unicorns in the main hall. I've ordered construction of several traps for the blasted things.

Good riddance.

FUCK

Ah well, time to get to work on making some steel befo-



You are literally worse than useless.

In other news, I've started smelting some of that hematite. Hopefully I can find away across that magma river. Speaking of that, I've ordered work started that might utilize the blood of Armok to our advantage. It will take a while, but I'm certain it will be worth the effort.



This is awkward.

Guys, I'm right here.

I see the problem.  You're drowning in air.  Too much air in your lungs.  Gonna have to squeeze some out and replace it with good old dwarven ale.  Trust me, I'm a distraction doctor.  Almost.

Problem: Keyboard seriously bugged out in the game. Can't save, don't want to quit, what should I do?

EDIT: I gave up. Scratch all of the last update.

in future, try on-screen keyboard. It's a mess to find, so i find random words, copy them with the the mouse and paste them in  a text file until it spells keyboard, put in the search bar in the start menu, should pop up. In case of emergencies only!

I hope you kept a backup copy of the savegame, because end-tasking that version of DF will cause save corruption if any units have visited (caravans, diplomats, sieges) or if you've created any art images.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Sadness. I was enjoying that last update. Sad to see it was all lost.

These unicorns really are starting to become a problem, aren't they? Hehehe...
