 Lizwiz got a promotion now that he's loving L E G E N D A R Y. The training schedule only keeps 80% of the dwarves in the squad training at any given time, so they still run off and do stuff and handle their needs and all. Here he bagged a Rhino, and has been hauling it back to the butcher shop for like 3 weeks. Hope it is still intact. We have plenty of food, but no drinks, still, though the well is operational. We also have a couple legendary miners, and I think all that engraving may have made us having a legendary engraver. We got more migrants. Managing labor is hard without Dwarf Therapist. Plebian Parasite has become our broker as well as our manager. He also has the lever for the bridges by his desk. Yet to hit any major adversity, and our military is very under-equipped. Wooden bolts are great for practice but it takes WAY TOO MANY of them to really do damage. I'm hoping on the next trade caravan I can trade some of the crafts I've had our peeps doing for some good poo poo. I've set the craftsdwarf workshop so only Grand Master or higher skills can use it at the moment, so if the shop isn't working when you get to the save remember that or build another one. I've got everyone sorted with a forum name.  Eventually just picking names off the thread starters and last replies and people online and stuff, so don't feel too bad if you got a Baby or whatever. I'm waiting for a noblewoman to arrive for FluffieDuckie, so we can Edit: Caravan arrived with news!  Looks like the Wondrous Beaches have been busy. Let'see what we can trade. joke_explainer fucked around with this message at 06:13 on Dec 20, 2016 |

Thingyman posted:oh god. does DT not support the version we're using? i don't even know if i remember how to manage labor without it lol No, it's been broken since DF went 64-bit. They're close to fixing it. Something fundamentally broke with it when it went 64-bit. Don't remember the whole story.  What they want next year for Thingyman  Got 146 booze and some stuff for BigBlackTurnout to complete his masterpiece! He's been hanging out in the forge and is now dying of thirst, so he seems happy to begin his construction. It would be amazing if he ends up armorsmith, but most likely result is metalcrafter.  We still got plenty of food so no big worry at the moment, but had to trade a few prepared food barrels. For whatever reason prepared food is really great. I bought some cheese from the guy; if our best chef cooks meals out of the cheese, we could then sell it back and completely empty him out.  A golden crown! Totally making Fluffie wear that when we finally get a duchess or w/e. Let's take a closer look.  Hm. Spikes of hard leather. That's loving intimidating. |

For the uninitiated: Every once and a while, a dwarf gets some idea in their head of a great thing to make, whether it's a steel sword or a really fancy mug. Once they do, they rush off to find a workshop, then seize it, kicking anyone working in it out. They then will grab every item they need for it. If they can't find it, they just sit there until they die or go crazy. So sometimes this runs into some problems. There's a few different types of moods. Some don't tell you almost anything about what the person wants... you just have to figure it out based on what they've already collected. But Fey moods are the best, as they just shout 'I must have tanned hides!! I must have metal bars!!' when you look at the workshop screen. Once they complete a masterwork, they automatically become legendary in the skill used to craft it. New bedrooms are looking really nice. Love the vein of cinnabar going through it. Those'll look nice smoothed out.

Another really useful thing: Workshops are little 3x3 (mostly) things you can hit 'q' on with your cursor and it'll bring up the menu to queue up tasks. One way to get a bunch of something is to just hit R, so it 'repeats' the task you select. This is sometimes not good. Your little barrel maniac will make barrels until you run out of wood. With a manager assigned, you can to to the job menu (j) and hit (m), and then make tasks and set a quantity to produce. Right now I'm queueing up a bunch of barrels that way, as that's the only reason we have no booze production it turns out. |

Month 10. joke_explainer (the dwarf) has cancelled work; Interrupted by Hungry Head. Checking the unit list right away, we also have a large amount of crundles here to wreck our poo poo. They seem to have crawled their way out of the depths.   Seems like he's already a bit jacked up. Military should make short work of him. And it's dead. There's like 30 crundles down in the caves though, so going wall that off for now. No injuries! Wonder if there's a goblin invasion in the cards before the year is done. |

Almost done with my year. I just may get the bedrooms done and the first bits of the big dining room done. No progress on defense, but the hospital is operational and has soap! Hooray. Year 3 should get some traps up and work on getting better equipment for the military. |

 Nasty bugger from the caves. Good thing I walled them off. That may have killed us all, with webbing and a mud body so it likely has no vital organs. That's a problem for much later. It wandered off down the 'downward passage', which I never looked into. So be careful heading down into the caverns...  Our first masterwork engraving! mrbradleymartin didn't choose the Heavy Life, it chose him. The front of the dining hall, all I have time for. About 15 days left in the year. |

 And that's my year! We now have a legendary dining room, some pretty fancy bedrooms which Plebian Parasite is working on engraving, and tons and tons of mussels. Seriously. Thousands of mussels. Food will not be an issue. Booze continues to be a challenge, mostly because the barrels are being sniped by mussels. May want to turn fisherdwarves off first thing. Anyway, will PM Thingyman the dropbox. |

I would like to be a dwarf. But I do not want to run the compound. I've never played and don't want to learn how to play. But if I get to hear about how my namesake went crazy and built a sexy goblet out of rhino kneecaps and spider spleen gemstones, I'll be pretty pleased. |

got everything loaded up, and the first thing i notice is our titanic landfill of mussel shells and vomit: i like that it's overlooking our golden trade road, as if to say to newcomers, hey, if you don't like shellfish or vomit or, like, vomiting shellfish, turn back now. we have no alcohol, and this doesn't seem to fit with our vomit encrusted public image, so let's do something about that. unfortunately, barrells are apparently a precious commodity and somebody claims them literally the second they're made, so we're gonna flood this motherfucker with barrels. i'm going to make so many barrels, they're going to flood the first floor, falling down the stairs to the lower levels and turn our entire fort into a giant game of donkey kong. maybe then dwarves will find somewhere to vomit that isn't the floor. also, as joke_explainer said, we're gonna be in need of weapons better than copper. unfortunately, it looks like we're not gonna get any sedimentary layers, so probably no coal or iron. but! we did find some marble when digging down into the caves last year, so if we can trade for pig iron, we can make steel. i'm sure that forgotten beast has forgotten about us completely so it's got to be completely safe to tear down the pillar blocking off the caves and move it down beneath the marble. nothing can possibly go wrong!

no joke, 95% of the meals in the fortress our mussel-based, our fishermen seem to do a fantastic job in harvesting an unlimited amount of mussels... I keyed off the labor on most fishermen before I turned the save over but still, if food starts to go low, just turn those crazy mussel-obsessed dwarves back on dunno about the vomit, I suppose its probably cave adaptation |

Ugh I forgot about light sickness Most of the time I design around it in the first year (oops) e: explanation (When dwarves don't go outside for too long they get a kind of sickness where when exposed to light they vomit, this can be engineered around by making sky lights or different sections of the fort so they are forced to see light every so often) vanisher fucked around with this message at 08:33 on Dec 21, 2016

apparently, WD-40 died at some point and is haunting our food stockpile! i hear that dwarves trying to get meals are hearing ethereal pleas to post their dick. her combat log is from before the forgotten beast died and is completely empty, though? weird. i guess this is an excuse to start designing a catacombs area though.  it's a start |
