Yeah, but it's pretty useful for fishing/growing plants/taking care of the batshit crazy dwarves who for some reason think water is better for them than alcohol when they're injured.

Okay. So. I know I said I would start today, but somebody rather unexpectedly brought their 360 over with a copy of GTA IV and I have been playing it for the past 8 hours or so. So uh. Either tomorrow or the day after, if the second person wants to switch places with me, that would be fine to.
overfarming seems to make a field not produce crops for a season, so
I dunno

Anybody here have any experience with building towers? For some reason I can never seem to build a wall a level above a door even if I have build a floor over it.
I dont have any problems there. Takes planning, but it's nto a problem.

Well a whole lot of nothing has happened so far and it is almost winter. I should have a write-up by wednesday night. ... yeep. Just building and digging. More building than digging.
check to see that construction wasn't suspended (in red)
sometimes they can't get to it or whatever, so you have to manually re-enable construction
That is just it. They will not even let me put a wall there to be built. I have to go through this convoluted process of removing the door, building a wall, building the second floor wall, and then removing the first floor wall and putting the door back in.

Okay, I finished. However, I have a really terrible internet connection. I do have the latest build of the game. Is there a way I can grab only the essential files to transfer? I could make it to a friend's house and upload from there, but I think even that would take a while. (wait.. just checked.. apparently the bulk of the data is the save files.) I will try to get to a friend's house in the next day or two to upload.

oh.
You cant build a wall construct over a floor construct. Just build a plain wall construct on that empty space above the door.
Though it might help if you included pictures so we can see what you're doing.

Nah you were right. I figured it all out. Write-up should be up tomorrow night. I am attempting an upload now. Uh, SO, PM me your email because I am just going to megaupload it
Am I supposed to be next? Looks like Zernian's second.

oh damn I thought you were next and that would have explained the consternation. Well then. I am going to send it to you anyway in a megaupload thing and we can pass around the link.
(I don't know if it will even work, I have satellite internet and it has been acting unreliable all day.)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Z9ZTKOAL Alright ladies. Here it is. Write-up tomorrow. Although be prepared. It is boring as hell. Although the potential for soul-crushing terror is rather high.
I just rocked up at my house. I'm going to re upload it once it is down, in my filefront account and put it into a folder named dwarf fortress or some such, and have a link to each stage in the OP, every time it happens.
Also I think we have plenty of people and I'm going to cut the blank end the list off.
Artreus when you have the write up complete. If you're really wanting to post it to here straight away that is cool, but I'm going to copy and throw it in the OP anyway, spoilered and all that.
I hope someone goes a little mad with dwarfgineering and places levers and pumps and DANGERRRR everywhere. Would make it fun for the next player.
"What's this here lever in the barracks? Probably unlinked but can't hurt if I pull it righ- OH MY GOD THE NOBLES ARE DROWNING"
I kind of wish I had done something wacky like that, I had a few interesting things, but I got kind of bored near the end and had no idea what to do next.
Also in future can people just zip the save folder back up. It makes it less gay with double installs and so on. Also since some people are using mac which means your game files won't work anyway, just the saves, no .exe and what not. (This isn't me FYI)
So I going to unzip artreus' check that all is working, rezip just the save file and send a PM with the link to the next person and instructions. The link will also be in the OP for anyone who wants to check it out.

You may want to include the init folder as well (also tilesets if you're really into it like that).

Isn't that just display preferences and keybindings?
Like, we could all use our own and be happy that way O.o
Ah no right it has that other stuff. I shall bundle it in.

Oh, by the way. I changed some of the keybindings to accommodate my laptop. If you just want to rip out the saves you should be fine, otherwise, the move selector up/down thing have been changed to [ and ] instead of - and + or whatever. Should be easy enough to find.
No I mean like changing the child cap or things like that which actually affect the game.
Because if you didn't it shouldn't matter.

ohhh, no I just did a default everything but one or two of the keys.
I am however, regretting buying those damn camels. Useless fuckers. The musk oxen reproduce much faster.
Instructions for the next person: (Spoilered because I have not posted my write-up yet)
Everything should be pretty straight-forward. The workshops are all on the main level with some stockpiles below them. Bedrooms are on the second floor. The thing out front is a guard house. Feel free to build up the walls if you want, I just did not think it really needed to be any bigger than I made it. I dug down pretty far in one area to see if I could find any fun materials. I used the regional prospector to make sure I would find adamantine, so it is there somewhere. Also giant chasm to the north. Those tunnels to the north with the big hole dropping down that is not all the way completed is going to be a man-made waterfall. I started on it pretty late, so whoops. I have some mechanisms and floodgates made already. You just need to finish making sure the hole is actually a hole and not a bunch of rooms stacked on top of each other, if you know what I mean by that. All you will need to do then is dig into the river from the north or east and you should be good. Might want to dig out a bigger hole actually, that shit fills up quick. Basically I wanted to make a large, underground water source. It is not really necessary though as it stays warm enough that the river does not freeze in the winter.

Running water is a must as well otherwise we will eventually run out of it.

Seriously, I'll probably not ruin it to badly for whoever comes after me. Muwahaha.
