So, I am kinda turning our lovely fort into the Premier Exporter of glass Goblets.

High society dwarves drinking from wine glasses is something I rarely imagine but is also very canon now. Not to intrude by the way, but you should probably make the entrance wider.

Copper weapon trap components are good exports if it’s ever needed, since they train Weaponsmithing, and if you have a good weaponsmith, they go for a lot. Though I suppose if we’re in a desert we’ll have all the sand we’ll never need. But that brings up issues of fuel. We’ll need to go for magma soon, I’d say.

I'll upload the save and the write up after I get home, but I set up a Glassmaking Production chain and turned 1/3 of the Fort in Glassmakers

Also I did indeed make the entrance wider since the Depot is underground in the Fortress Proper.

Okay, I opened the save and the tileset fucked up all the tiles. Can I get a version with no tileset?

Journal of Ryukan, 1st Granite

Well, I guess I have to update this thing on what has happen thus far. Let's see.... oh I guess I'll start when we spotted that Kobald. Skulking Vermin was spotted by the entrance to the Fort, but quickly ran off before we could react.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Not much time passed after that until we spotted more shapes on the horizon. I must say I panicked and started ordering everyone underground to prepare for a siege, but the ever sharp eyed Dark One informed me they were the migrants he had summoned. I start to ask how he summoned them from all the way out here, but I thought better of it and went to prepare the paperwork.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Summer passed uneventfully, except for me beginning a minor glass production chain.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Here's a few drawings of the Fort during the transition from Summer to Autumn.

Spoiler: Entrance (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Main Fort (click to show/hide)

I dug out a large storage Area to the North using.... "voluntary Labor" from our dwarves. The Entrance Ramp to the Surface is to the West, but further beyond that is the staircase that leads down into the Mines. I also have the area cut off from the Fortress by 2 Draw Bridge Gates, that way if any danger befalls our Fortress, from above or below, we can raise the Gates and the Main Fortress Proper can be sealed. Having a Mechanic tag along with our Group really made it easier than I thought.

It wasn't long after that when I heard report of a Dwarven Caravan approaching and I ordered our, at that point, still Novice Glassmakers, to make as many Green Glass Goblets as they could to trade.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

As the Expedition Leader, I got the "privilege" to sit through the Liaison's meanderings about the going ons with the rest of civilization.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

In the end I ordered some Drink and Plump Helmets for next year, never know when food might suddenly become iffy. After signing the Documents we said our farewells as I went to to Trade and the Liaison went to the Tavern to get Drunk.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

While we were still trading with the Caravan, some more Migrants arrives, apparently they were following the Caravan and chose to settle here. Why is beyond me.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Our Census records are starting to become a headache to manage...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I shit you not tho, the scariest thing happened when Dark One of all people just went absolutely bonkers. As in just dropped his Goblet onto the floor (I say with pride that it didn't shatter, not even scratch), and just ran to Carpentry Shop and started Babbling madly, something about judgement upon sinners and awakening of the old gods and whatnot, I swear his eyes started glowing red or something.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The Barrel that he made was pretty impressive if I say so myself.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It wasn't long after that it seemed that winter was upon us.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

With Winter coming though, I am proud to say that the Library and Tavern were both completed and we started attracting roving Bards and Scholars almost immediately, which I thought suspicious, but what ever.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Also "Library" is used in the loosest sense, it's more of a small closest that we dug out and couldn't find use for, so I threw a glass bookcase ot two in there with a table and chair and called it done.

We do have scholars coming in and writing books though. I'm not much of a reader myself, but I do see the value in having a repository of knowledge.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Anyways, winter passed without incident or catastrophe and as per the Ancient Laws, I am now handing over the Rutile Hat to the next Dwarf in line, Flame12 I believe.

Here's one last view of the fortress as it stands at the end of Winter.

Spoiler: Main Fort (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Entrance (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Mines (click to show/hide)

Here's a list of the written Books we have already, which is pretty impressive considering we don't have a scholar ourselves yet, just rely on passing Scholars and Historians and whatnot.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

And the final tally for Glass Goblets. I have spent my entire Term almost building a healthy Glass Industry and I am proud that we have at least 6 skilled Glassworkers now and the Industry to keep up production.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

With that said, I am off to oversee my Glassworks I built. Maybe I can get the dumb shadows that keep following me to leave me alone now...

* - * - * - * - *

ASCII Save will be up later today, had to convert the Save back over and am uploading it now. I'll have it up for ya after I get home
