I was just asking from a mechanics standpoint, I've never actually played the game.

I should apply for overseer.

I would love you see you become overseer this or next round. Let's make it happen!

This thread and my slowly working through the Bronzestabbed thread's updates has gotten me back on the saddle of delving into the earth. I forgot how you just lose sense of time when you're setting designations and doing exploratory mining and yeah now I have a dorm and a dining hall let's turn food off on this stockpile and gently caress me it's almost midnight. :stare:

Yeah, my sleep habits have become awful since DF2014 has (mostly) killed the new bugs.

Also, I look forward to Veloxyll's term!

Oh my bad you're right, I always thought they could destroy constructed walls! Was it like that in an older version?

I don't think so... pretty sure they've always stuck to passable objects (doors, grates, etc...) and workshops. Walls and bridges are 100% safe.

Huh, I might get dwarfed after the next few waves of migrants. That doesn't seem too far off.

Oh man, I'm so excited!

If things continue at this pace I will be off camping when I get dwarfed! Hopefully I survive until I return.

I am enjoying your overseership so far, but some of the images are a bit hard to read. Try to use PNG instead of JPEG, it works so much better with text and blocky images (and is perfect for DF).

Also I'm pretty sure quality-of-life utilities like Dwarf Therapist are going to need a while to update to the changes. I know I couldn't play Dwarf Fortress without that.

First year or so is doable without any addons, but past that its pretty much a requirement. I couldn't imagine trying to manage Fogwall without DT.

Nothing out of the ordinary happening here. It's all in his bio.



Move along, nothing to see here.

Is that his actual bio? Awesome.

This is turning out to be a great turn, thank you for the entertainment. Also, where did my dwarf end up? Barred inside the fort? She's kind of a loner.

Burrows do not stop job cancel spam, I have learned! Everyone was burrowed for a long while when the great banishment took place, and I was still getting job cancel messages out of my ears

The job cancel spam quadruples in speed if the wall is taken down while everyone is burrowed

Mostly though I just want to be able to see the combat logs. I can see that a trolldwarf got in a fight, and some jabberers also got in a fight, but I can't actually see how the fight went at all, which is a shame. I'm also missing out on the killing blow on a dwarf, which is also a shame.

I left you a note in the DF thread on how you can stop the CANCEL_JOB spam. Hope it helps

For a bit of fun I recreated Fogwall in Minecraft from after Spanish Matlock's turn. It is rather basic but has the structure down to the cave entrance to view.

Some screen grabs.

The storybook thing was good, but it would probably have been better in a fortress not overrun with forgotten beasts, vampires, loyalty cascades, and tantrum spirals.

Yeah, we lost something like 50 dwarves since the last update? Whats next? The last 32 (with one left alive!, hopefully a vampire)

It seemed like Nietzschean was content with ending his turn there. If he wanted to, he could have continued as a... ghost baby dwarf overseer? It's entirely his call.

We had a child dwarf ghost overseer before. Nothing new here.

BTW, since I drowned, am I a ghost now or does that count as a burial?

Pretty sure you need a slab engraved to memorialize you if the body is not recoverable (drowning, magma, melting, whatever)

I will gladly relinquish the turn to you. I think people would prefer to see a fresh face. I haven't touched it yet, so go wild!

With the amount of catch up I have to do at work after this cold/fever it'd be better for me to wait for the next round.

Galena 1st, 557
Contents of a tablet found on the route to Fogwall, with crude sketches

I've been relegated to surface duty in this hell hole. Better than inside at this point, I can't stop retching on miasma.


103 people are here despite all of the death and infighting. We're a bit low on food stuffs, but not low enough to panic. Although its too late for that last part.


No less than a dozen corpses lie rotting at the entrance of this place. I hope they keep them there as a sign of your doom.


The place remains constantly cluttered as people continue to rage. A few people remain hopeful, but its hard to remain that way for long in this place. Miasma plagues us almost constantly.


The living situation isnt awful, but some of us have been relegated to a shared dormatory while others get proper rooms. The selection process around this is still not known.


Everything has become chaos. From a tomb for every individual to mass burial rooms. At least the area is respectfully lacking of old clothes strewn aside.


The dining room looks like hardly anyone uses it. Probably has to do with the severe lack of tables, but I'm not in charge of that. Hopefully someone in charge figures it out.


I think this place is growing on me. The crafting area feels... normal.


The locals are mostly harmless at this point. All we really have to fear is ourselves, judging by all of the infighting.


A general overview of the fuckery in this fort. This place is all one giant trap, my god. Tomorrow I'll start in on a real update. Not sure if I'll stick with this format (basically letters or whatever)... depends on when a migrant wave comes, I guess.

Apologies for not getting a release out like I said I would. I was woefully unprepared to pick this up. On the way though!

Are those corpses still from my run as overseer

I'm pretty sure they are.
