As of now, there are 87 pumps spanning 69 z-levels with three dozen gear assemblies powered by 29 waterwheels.
The previous ruler had about 8-9 pumps already installed.
The rest were made with painstaking calculations and dwarf labor.

note: now that I've turned off the pumps, the pumpstack is starting to fall apart. I think I might've accidentally mixed in a few wooden corkscrews. Im gonna let the magma settle down a bit before proceeding further

just posting again here I Mentioned I would like to take a turn as well but the list hasn't been updated wondering if you saw my post or not.

Sorry about that, was gone for three weeks unexpectedly. I'll get right on with updating the list.

miraculously, after letting the pumpstack run for a few minutes, my fps is starting to go back up again
Magma pit is slowly collecting magma.

shouldn't take too long now.

I think... I want to join too.

Yeah, I definitely do. Hopefully I won't end up killing everyone.

I also think so.

Fortress Update Here!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

During the past few months, a few things both good and bad has happened. I celebrated the day we completed the magma pump stack by letting all the dwarves take a day off from work (well it did kinda help the massive fps issues i've been having). Other than that, a few various interesting although not really that important things have happened.

Our mayor has a lovely conversation with human diplomat.

I wonder what they're talking about

Oh noes, a gremlin! No worries, I’ll just send my army down the 80 z-level staircase and shoo it away

Byebye little green guy.


I see the kids are quite sociable these days.


A forgotten beast has come. Eh, not gonna worry about it.


Well then again maybe I should.
Army full of metalclad warriors took care of him pretty easily.

Elven caravan arrived…

I personally don't really have that much interest in the trade business and stuff so I just let a random dwarf do the trading and gave the caravan elves a bunch of junk for all of their junk.

Cool a giant cave spider! It even spews killer webs!


Aww spidey got caught in a cage trap. I might make a specialized pit for it so that it will continue making webs for us.


Curses, an ambush!
Don’t worry the cage traps will take care of em.


That is if the traps don’t take care of my dwarves first. Quite ironic how he's now sitting in the very cage he was supposed to reset.

Instructions on activating the magma pumps.

Place gearshaft mechanism thingy on indicated place for giant mega magmapump of fps doom to activate.

And that's about it for now.
I'm currently in late august nearing winter.


MAGMAFTW!!!

"Everything can be solved by magma"
"But the FPS! They cry!"
"SILENCE! you are not using enough magma."

Couldn't resist

[Dariush]

Ah, the sweet redness of magma... I wonder what kind of insane traps will future players use it in?
By the way, how did you get that dwarf in the cage? You didn't by any chance reload my cave-in trap, did you?

[noodle0117]

i think he got struck by a goblin ambush bolt or something and got knocked unconcious.
Those gobbos were pretty smart in the sense that only two out of some 15 raiders got caught in the cage traps. The rest just encamped my fort while shooting arrows everywhere.

shouldn't take too long now.

Quoting my previous statement, I now realize that the only reason my fps went up was because another pump broke down, thus disconnecting the entire chain of pumps . Well anyways, just leaving a notice to future EH players that the magma pump stack is still quite faulty and may very likely break apart somewhere else in the near future. There is also the potential of magma flooding the entire underground caverns, although the possibilities of such a travesty happening should be fairly unlikely.

Hm, but if a pump in the middle breaks up, how can it still transfer power to bottommost pumps so they can flood caverns?...

there are ways my friend. (aka design flaws where I forgot to put in certain failsafes, but who needs those?)
Oh and the moment I turn on the magma pumps, my fps crashes down to 2-3...

In theory though, if I leave the magma pumps on and close the floodgates, it should build up pressure which should blast out into everything.

Oh and I just noticed that half the bedrooms are situated right underneath the magma pool. Imagine sleeping under a pit of red bloody death every night knowing that even a single miner screw-up would completely destroy you, your room, your friend's rooms, and the rest of your massive fort house.

Wrong. Actually, the floodgates are the best way to stop pumps without meddling with power supply.
