also, do the trick where you put a bridge over a channel at the entrance, so the channel eats the magma instead of it smelting dwarfite bars.
Useful information: when you build a channel, it is temporarily a building (which can be turned into a Pond) as well as a terrain feature, which prevents you from placing other buildings on top of it. One easy way to to make it stop being a building (so you can build a bridge over it) is to fill it with water, though I seem to recall that you can also start digging another large channel next to it (they're multi-tile, just like roads and bridges) and then cancel it once it starts but before it finishes (i.e. once it stops flashing).

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.

Forgot about a trip down to the Lake of the Ozarks.  Will delay me for a bit.  Did start the reclaim before went down, and the fort appears to be worth about 28 dwarves for the reclaim.

Let me get this straight. Year 1, goes okay. My year, goes okay. 3rd year, goes okay until the overseer burns the world and us along with it. 4th year, THE OVERSEER UNLEASHES HELL. Welp, that was fast for a fort to die. Guess I shouldn't have expected anything more from Bay12 + v.23a. (I mean, my 23a forts tended to last at least 5 years.)

In my defense, all I wanted to do was kill the unicorns.

Well you see, it was the unicorns' fault. I'm sure they manifested an artificial intelligence, and told EyoyaBosan to unleash hell so more dwarves could be murderated.

Also, I'm putting your post in the quote bank. It made me laugh.

I should mention that the term "dwarfite bars" was not invented by yours truly.

Also, what about the [REALLY OLD SPOILER], or is there a workaround...?

Entry 1.
Expedition Commander Zanzetkuken III, Year 1057 Overseer of Boarpaints.
Granite 01, 1057.
Early Spring.


Our party has finally arrived at the fortress of Boarpaints after a quite long journey.  Contact had been established four years ago and lost less than a year ago for unknown reasons.  Upon arrival, we had found several dwarves expressing confusion over the state of the world.  When questioned, many have made strange comments upon the current state being either something of myth and legend.  One or two have made comments of this being a down-state world.  Meaning will be divined at a later date.  It has been determined the fort was lost and a reclaim was about to start.  I was chosen as overseer for the first year due to having, quote, "greater knowledge of this world" and being senior commander.

First orders were to construct an alternate passage in.  I do not know what befell this fortress, but going through the front gate would likely be detrimental to our ability.  Path will go through where some old rooms were, before the underground river.  Next entry will be made upon either entrance to the fortress, or other information has been divined from the strange dwarves.

No comment on the charred surface? Or has that grown back already?
