there are like seven layers of the main stairs filled with miasma and on the main level there is one tile with a shitton of clothes, massive amounts of rock and like 200 entries of remains

WHY

sounds like someone set up a dump zone there, reclaim everything with d-b-c and people should carry all the rotting poo poo to refuse stockpiles after that

mini update

first thing i see is a gross cloud of miasma that stretches through +/- 7 z-layers of stairs or something



its a one tile dump zone by the main stairs. what in armoks name




list of entitled millenials which are not happy. start building a tomb one layer down from the main catacombs. will update when ready, will designate tombs for important dwarves that earned it with kills or master artifice



the baron retards tomb will be decked out with this named coffin masterpiece



and a statue of goddamn facehuggers along with a golden dwarf



rediscover decides to be actually useful to make up for this poo poo brigade thats leading the fort



in the bottom cavern are a bunch of trees along with some tiny ugly cave imps that need to be killed. cant think of a thing that could go wrong with that. will have to brush up on how to command military squads and make sure they are decked out in iron armor

It's not... it's usually really good but the current version of the mod is weird and not polished because the mod creator is biking the world and got kidnapped in the Central African Republic.

mini update 2:



whats this?! a pre-emptive strike from the basement dwelling imps in the lowest cavern!

...wait is that goddamn larry fighting?



for this he gets to upgrade his retard playpen from Meagre to decent. as i check it out i see a Purple Haze emanate from pewdiepie's next door room.

[SQUALOR ALERT]


pewds gamer crib: rotten dog heart chop, *cow eye chop pastry*, withered toadstool, withered plump helmet.

what. the. gently caress.





munchables decides to start his unwinding descent into madness. this will most likely be the start of the inevitable death-spiral, i'm thinking. he claims a craftsdwarfs workshop and starts hauling poo poo to it.





at this point migrants arrive. here you see them crossing the proud mountaintop of Casualfences. below the lavapit can be seen. 12 dwarfs and only one kid. allright. all are immediately made into engraving slaves. around this time it seems randy has gone missing. thats no good

munchables starts making whatever dumb poo poo hes making, thank god. the death spiral is delayed by the mercy of Armok



turns out its an earring.



this dumb fuckin earring has tons of pictures on it, one of a gorlak (??????) laboring (????) as he settles a place (!!!!), another picture of a troll killing a goblin. most likely this is a metaphor for fyad forum posts. what a useless piece of lame garbage. i wonder what a piece of poo poo like this is actually worth?





FUCKEN MONEY! BABY! YEAH! poo poo!



each dwarf can wear 22 rings.... THATS ALOTTA FUCKEN MONEY!!!!! WEVE GOT IT MADE!!! YEAH! gently caress YEAH BITCHES!!!

The creators of Dwarf Fortress programmed hundreds of games as kids

quote:

When Tarn was in fifth or sixth grade, they made a John Woo-inspired, text-based assassin game where you keep having to complete contract hits to pay for family accidents — first you need to pay for your girlfriend's corneal transplant after accidentally shooting her in the face, then you have to pay for treatment for various other family injuries (until a final stage where you need therapy for your dog, for reasons he can't recall). The game included eight factions who would put contracts on each other's members and also on you (and you had no say as to whether these attempts on your life succeeded). For another game, they asked their mom to scream into a microphone to get a sound effect to play when people are shot to death by Uzis. They also had a World War II strategy/arcade hybrid called Planes that included a simple, clumsy pathfinding algorithm for moving ships in the ocean. In the absence of the internet or any relevant books, Tarn devised the algorithm through brute-force self-reliance.

There was also an arcade-style space game with ships that had chunks of pixels blowing off them, along with a game called Cybercop that neither brother remembers but Adams suggests was likely less a "clean up the streets" cop game "so much as slowly degrade and get wounded and die a horrible death within five minutes" game. And they found backups of some 400 or so others they made in BASIC before they moved up to C in high school. "We don't even remember making half of them," Adams says. He also notes that some of these games have corrupted source code files because of frequent computer crashes — a notable example being Tarn's ASCII monster designer, almost all of which was overwritten during a computer crash by a memory dump of the code for an interactive fiction game that Zach had just started.
