It's up to you how to spend your time. Just have the save for us at 22 GMT tomorrow.

EDIT:



Oh and ArkDelgato:







Although the damage is easy to fix.


EDIT EDIT:

Now someone just needs two add to steel spheres at the "pleasure tower"'s base.
DO IT.

.... would using print screen show the windows of text to the right of the screen, where you make designations and read unit descriptions and such? If so, what button does that?

1. Print Screen
2. Open the image editor of your choice (MSpaint, GIMP, Photoshop)
3. Press "new" (or, if you're using an image editor from this century that doesn't suck (GIMP, Photoshop) click create > from clipboard. If you do this, you can skip step 4.)
4. Press ctrl+v
5. select the area you want as your image
6. Crop
7. ???
8. PROFIT!

If you still don't understand, tell me what image editor(s) you have access to and I'll see if I can walk you through it.

I want to get my dragon head spewing forth boiling magma on my turn soon, and I have an idea on how to do it without bauxite. Don't know if it'll work though.



The tower of pumps is always running, preventing lava from stopping and burning up the pumps. The lone pump is hooked up to a separate power supply which is controlled by a lever linked to a gear assembly. Once the magma gets to the top, it goes sideways (I'm unsure about this part, I'm afraid it'll go back and burn up the top pump, causing a chain reaction of burning pumps) into a store of lava just behind the dragon head. This store is kept back by a metal door which can be opened at a moment's notice to let out a burning cascade of lava on whatever's near the entrance. The lava will then be drained back into the magma pool.

Alternatively, I can spend my turn having no idea what the hell I'm supposed to do as I have never played a fort for more then 2 years and have never had such a large population.

Fault: You get the couple of hours extra that Brendan abandoned. At the time of writing it was "22GMT tomorrow."
Also,  what ArkDelgato said.

Abculatter_2: Needlessly complicated. Metal/stone pumps and the usual pump system will work just fine (you can steal my blueprints from here)

I thought pumps could only be built out of stone, glass, or wood...

I now stand corrected.

Fault: You've got ~26 hours starting from about when I told you it's your turn.
Dunno about Canada time. That's like asking what time is it on the moon.

abculatter_2: forge some metal pipes sections and giant screws. I think any metal will do. Also, it doesn't matter how fast or slow your pumping it, using wood in magma pumps is Bad Business.

But what about the blocks? Also, although the magma cannon is cool, I think it's simply too powerful for this. It would flood the entire valley with the burning blood of Armok. Which actually sounds pretty fun...  Plus, we only have limited magma, and would the magma cannon work in a magma pool?
