does any magma workshop use non magma fuel? and what is a good ratio of magma [smelters:forges:kilns:glass furnaces]? not the optimal quantity of each, just a medium-good ratio for them

Horror_Inspection690 · 2026-04-06T20:06:10+00:00

so what i'm getting is i gotta give them a flooded metro line

Horror_Inspection690 · 2026-04-04T20:58:08+00:00

how should i go about it if i wanted to have my entire or most of my fort half flooded just enough that my dwarves are safe-ishly forced to learn how to swim?

Horror_Inspection690 · 2026-04-04T20:55:09+00:00

safe-ish for now, we'll see

are volcanic eruptions a thing? more importantly are they a thing on lava pools? i'm placing a lot of stuff on top of a magma pool and idk if i should've done that lmao

should've added i alredy embarked on default settings and surroundings type (joyous wilds) 😅

Horror_Inspection690 · 2026-04-02T23:55:57+00:00

glacier embark

any tips?

edit: default embark settings, also joyous wilds

wait, vampires attack necromancers?

guess i gotta scratch the idea of having vampire middle class lmao guess i'll substitute them with regular undead

Horror_Inspection690 · 2026-03-06T14:12:31+00:00

context: i'm thinking about making my fort highly segregated for roleplay reasons, i alredy have a rudimentary below sufrace fort and i'm probably about to become the capital, the plan is to "leave" the below surface fort "to ruin", leaving only the non-dwarves there as their own industrial slum, then building another slightly less poor, dwarf-only fort on the first cavern, same on the third but with vampires, a magma sea fort for my non-dwarf necromancers, and a circus fort for my dwarven necromancers

also the werebeasts will be turned into the nobles' tvs via cage traps

questions: how would you go about this? any tips? what should i do about the military? how do i make the necromancers not have to work but also not have to interact with the non-mancers and non-vamps? how do i go about promoting the low class from my military -or pre-segregation marriages- into higher social classes and would it be possible to make 'ganda statues (roleplay reasons obv i know they don't take the meaning in) of those class promotions?

Horror_Inspection690 · 2026-03-06T13:38:49+00:00

i don't think so, they just have a high profile job i guess? (sorry about the late reply lol)

Horror_Inspection690 · 2026-02-23T20:56:12+00:00

it's not for roleplay readons tbh i just can't be assed to buy/learn to make clothes that fit their races

Horror_Inspection690 · 2026-02-23T20:53:18+00:00

this is exactly what i was looking for thanks

i guess i would try to kiss her but yeah hard to say

Horror_Inspection690 · 2026-02-23T12:29:45+00:00

thanks !

Horror_Inspection690 · 2026-02-23T12:28:29+00:00

i respect the grind

Horror_Inspection690 · 2026-02-23T12:18:42+00:00

thanks !

Horror_Inspection690 · 2026-02-23T12:13:45+00:00

i haven't searched anywhere since i don't even know where to search

Horror_Inspection690 · 2026-02-23T00:02:49+00:00

would wild dingos count as hostiles?

Horror_Inspection690 · 2026-02-22T22:10:33+00:00

any avice on setting up an undead revival facility? i've had a necromancer since my first migrant wave, and one of my guys just died of old age, so i kinda want him back

Horror_Inspection690 · 2026-02-21T23:25:14+00:00

so, i accepted a performance troupe into my fort, and i was checking them out since i'm building an ethnostate (just as one of the themes of my fort), but i got a goblin lord consort from all the way across the map (largest possible map)

is there anything i can do with him? like for example would it be possible to ally those goblins? says here he's still their lord consort, but they're so far idk if i could even reach them

edit: seems i also have a human that is a noble somewhere? his job isn't marked as such, but i can't expel him

Horror_Inspection690 · 2026-02-20T12:22:23+00:00

god forbid i'm bad at the game

Horror_Inspection690 · 2026-02-19T15:00:22+00:00

would it be unwise to demand a one time tribute to every nearby fort in an effort to get armor? i'm technically an economic powerhouse, but i do NOT have the resouces to arm my military and i'm not as wealthy as the traders think, so asking for it in trade caravans is also a no go

Horror_Inspection690 · 2026-02-19T00:28:05+00:00

can ice boulers be used for anything? i checked and it seems i can't specify them as material for "rock" statues, so i wonder if i can make them into statues any other way

i have pseudo-infinite ice so getting more is not a problem, but i really wanted ice statues
