So, who are the silly dorfs who've got the foot rot? I'd like to know now, so that when we all eventually die of foot rot, we know who to dump in magma next savescum.

Other than the 4 or so that died in the first month I was in office, none of the rest with foot rot ever got worse.  Pisano had it, as did the axe dwarf Kubuk, and Fikod, Miner and Axe Dwarf.  I'm pretty sure the latter two have both been renamed by now.... it was all in the medical report.  Oh and 3 of the chidren..

Actually. now that I went over the save and backups...

The cause is the frozen extract of some FB. So, the foot rot is actually nothing more than untreated hypothermia. No chance of epidemic of any kind.

*VWIP!*



1st Granite, 514

Again I return from the darkness - and this time, I decided upon a body and mind far more fit for continued survival than my previous incarnations. It strikes me as a little odd I didn't think of this before. Something else that I cannot help but remark upon are the mind-searingly terrifying screams I heard while traversing the void between the world of the gods and departed spirits and this realm - I don't really remember that happening the last two times. I'll have to get on to Lur or Sahed to fix that for next time - really does spoil the trip. Either way, I have returned to the land of the living, and it seems that all is not well.



I mean for fuck's sake.

Alright, guys, I have several possible options in mind:

1. Continue a previous project that someone else was going to do (the reactor, for instance, or the failcannon). For this I will need a comprehensive explanation of how they're supposed to work, where all the control levers are and what isn't finished yet.
2. Start my own project for which I will need nothing more than an instruction on how to allow dwarves to build on the landscape outside the front gates.
3. Do nothing interesting for a year which is lame.
4. Burn the place to the goddamn ground as is in my mind to do but I shall not do without everyone else's express permission due to the fact that there are a lot of people on the list who haven't had a turn yet.

The reactor needs only a boatload of wood. There are three levers, all of them annotated. What you need to do to start it is to connect all the gears via axles, build the wheels, flood the reactor using reservoir pump stack (one final section of the wall needs to be demolished for access), and voila (the pumps should start on their own; if not, they need to be jumpstarted manually)! The gear on the level with the levers is lever controlled for leverage on the power flow. With the reactor you should have enough Urists of power to have a working pumpstack going from the magma sea to the FAILCANNON plumbing (the pumps that are present there need to be replaced with magma-proof ones).

Building outside the gates is simple - the lever for the main gate is the one on the hoard level, in a small separate room, flanked by two lowered bridges.

Edit: oh fuck, sorry, I forgot to delete the graphics from the save folder.

Yeah, if I returned to the world of the living and everything looked like that, I'd be pissed off too.

So we got monsters above, monsters below, dwarves in the middle and a party in the dining hall. Sounds good to me.

Start your own project!  Who cares if you don't have time to finish, nobody else did!

As for building on the landscape... is it still under siege or something?

I don't know if this was the original purpose of the FAILCANNON, but was 'finished' and successful in that it allowed me to block the flooding of something like half the fortress and reclaim all of the stockpiles of various goods that were contained therein.

As for projects you should undertake... well, yeah, this is one of the most completely and totally screwed up fortresses I've ever seen.  The fact that it limps along is amazing to me.   Also the fact that we had migrants recently is astonishing.  Make good use of them!

I say do all four plans consecutively.  I mean, the first three.

I share that astonishment.  Were there any whispers about cursed death-traps or knowing Battlefailed would be their tomb?

First thing I did when I dwarfed myself was to draft him(myself?) into militia and get him to wear armor, boots included.

Actually, drafting every dwarf and setting only required equipment as boots should help. I made a bunch of bronze low and high boots at the end of my turn.
