reposting because im page king and it will help if its first on a page[/QUOTE]
mars7a is taking his sweet-ass time, you guys mind if I pick it up from here?
Guess ya could send him a PM and give him a day or two to respond, he may not have realised.
Is hunting still broken? My hunter is just sitting around doing nothing although he has a crossbow and bolts in a quiver.
Is it because there is only zombie wildlife around?

Nah it's been way to long and he should have been watching. I'm voting that you just go ahead.

Yeah, I don't think dorfs can eat zombies.
Mars7a has chosen to pass his turn.
If you're still alive when it gets to me, I'd like to try joining in this succession game you seem to be playing.
I won't be available for a week or so, but after that I should be free for a long while. Just chuck me on the end of the list.
Same here. If the game is still going when we reach the end, I'd probably like to join.
So, I tried to download the save and

Adbor, you mind reuploading it?

Try PMing him.

See, this is the curse that plagues FP Dwarf Fortress games, someone goes off the grid and he's the only one with an up-to-date savefile.
Two years, no strange mood. Is something wrong?
[QUOTE=Darth_GW7;31133722]Two years, no strange mood. Is something wrong?[/QUOTE]
yes. somehow you got a sane fort, if there is such a thing.
got one at last
Would a bridge made of ice melt in a glacial environment?
[QUOTE=Pokey McFork;31134011]Would a bridge made of ice melt in a glacial environment?[/QUOTE]
No any constructions made of ice will never melt. So you could have a huge wall of ice in the middle of a scorching desert and it'd never melt.
My hunter is a cruel, cruel dwarf.
He goes out, shoots a badger to near-death, then, just before putting it out of its misery, runs back to the fortress claiming he "Needs more bolts".
He then runs out again and does the same to a completely different badger.

I distinctly remember having stills made of ice melting from the ambient heat when I turned on Temperature while I was working on Magma Forges.

Maybe turning on the temperature after it had been off did something? Because I'm pretty sure that constructions made of ice do not melt.

Perhaps buildings can melt. Constructions are pretty much indestructible though.
[QUOTE=johnlukeg;31136663]Perhaps buildings can melt. Constructions are pretty much indestructible though.[/QUOTE]
Actually yeah, buildings can melt. Buildings made out of materials that are not magma safe would melt when submerged.
Reuploading right now. Sorry for not browsing the thread really often.
[QUOTE=Canuhearmenow;31133163]See, this is the curse that plagues FP Dwarf Fortress games, someone goes off the grid and he's the only one with an up-to-date savefile.[/QUOTE] We could always use the version before and go in adventurer mode for an update like some other community succession games do.
EDIT: Ninja'd by the guy who we were waiting on himself... Well, we should still have a plan for the next time we're waiting on someone who's been away from FP for a while.
[QUOTE=Adbor;31139594]Reuploading right now. Sorry for not browsing the thread really often.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, things get really slow between updates and even more so that orkel is gone. Once Toady releases an update things will get moving.
The current player has the save.
Houston we're back on track.
I saved my expedition leader just by random luck.
I noticed he wasn't going to the trade depot so I zoomed in on him. Turns out he trapped himself while digging channels for the moat. :v:
When people make execution traps and whatnot do they drop the goblins themselves or just place cages with goblins inside them?
[QUOTE=Mr. N;31181147]When people make execution traps and whatnot do they drop the goblins themselves or just place cages with goblins inside them?[/QUOTE]Usually it's the cages, with a lever to let them out.
I tried making a magma moat but I'm running into problems because it keeps solidifying/disappeating whenever it comes out of the pipe.
It's been like this for about a year now.
I made it so huge because I wanted to be able to flood the map with it when I pulled a lever.
You can see the three levers just above it. The top one used to open and close the floodgates at the end of the pipe, although I failed to use magma-safe mechanisms so the floodgates have since disappeared.
The middle lever collapses the support in the middle, which is basically my self-destruct mechanism.
The bottom lever controls the floodgate to the outside which was going to flood the map when I opened it.
Diagrams (Ignore journey in the bottom right :v:):
Lower view showing the magma pit itself

Upper view showing the channeled moat - I plan to remove the patch of land connecting the entrance area to the rest of the fort and replace it with a --> lifting drawbridge. That way the self destruct will work.

How could I stop the magma evaporating or whatever and get this to work?

Pumps.
I've never utilized magma moats personally, but I've read a few LP's that ran into the same problem. Pumps reset the magma's pressure or somesuch, but ultimately work to fill your moat.
on another note I just realised that a pig has fallen into my magma pit. You can see it in the screenshot :v:
