Man am I not digging deep enough? Do all maps have caverns? Just not finding one so far, what z level do they usually happen at.

Also in attempting to carve a grand entryway I caused a collapse that punched three z levels down and killed four dwarves. I'm not mega worried because I get a flood of migrants and bards are constantly petitioning to join, I may be the only option in the area or something gotta check legends.

I did somehow manage to take out a giant and make crafts from its bones as well. Didn't seem like a very tough one but I'm taking the win

Thanks for the tips on tombs. I think for my next fortress I'll just combine the tombs and the bedrooms as a gimmick.

The other slightly janky option I've been doing is just carving out one big room and individually designating each coffin as a tomb. Works as long as there's a door.

Are targets still in the game or do you just throw down a range?

Amazingly only now do I learn that you can pick what statues depict

you also need to build archery targets, and as I kept forgetting those are just directly built instead of being furniture.

I mean this is Dwarf Fortress, that to me just means he's milking something goddamn impressive.

I had a book written trashing another guy, and the only copy was made by the guy it trashed.

Checks out, that's how much time I spend thinking about my family and friends.

Someone upthread had a bunch of dorms instead of dedicated individual bedrooms and I liked the idea for thematic reasons, but did they assign it as a dorm or assign multiple dwarves to a large bedroom?

Here's the text from the forum about their money:

Mission Status

The fairytale ending is reality, but you didn’t kiss the toad. You gave him money. The appreciation you give us is part of our being now. It carries us in the cars we drive. It sustains us as the food that we eat. There is now no longer any existence except the one that you have provided. When we pass from this world, you will be the reason we are remembered.

"Congratulations to the generous!" -- ThreeToe


Fun with Numbers

So, yeah, all the gears have turned and that's what we got, mostly yesterday ha ha. A little less than half will go to taxes, and we're continuing to pay people and new business expenses and such, so it's not all personal money, but a lot of it is, enough that we've solved the main issues of health/retirement that are troubling for independent people, as well as safeguarded the future of the game well enough that we felt comfortable bringing Putnam on to work with the full code and so forth. Thanks to everybody that helped out!

Going to start off with an arena patch soon, then on to the quality of life improvements.

They're also extremely aware that's a one time revenue spike and are focusing on things like "buying a house that isn't a shack" and "making sure we have money for poo poo in ten years" and "healthcare"

This is the bit that people always bring up but the stuff with the ages was just as weird to me imo.

agreed but also "no mans bi" was the rimworld thread title for a while so I always chuckle and remember it
