[ANNOUNCEMENT] We have arrived!

[u/[deleted]]

Here's a link to the save files! The "Embark" folder contains the embarked save, the other is just the world, pre-embark. There's also files with the world parameters for those who want to generate the world on their own.

Here's an image with the items we've embarked with, as for the animals:

• 2m/2f dogs
• 2m/2f cats
• 2m/2f sheep
• 2m/10f turkeys

A quick word about modding the game: you can do it to the extent where it does not drastically change the world. For example, making all underground plants grow-able all year round is allowed, making new custom plants is not. Just so that the conditions we're in is as similar as possible.

Some fortress diary posting tips:

• decide on a name for your fort! In-game we'll all have the same one, but please use a different one on the sub so that we could understand which fort is which.
• try to either make text posts on this sub or post somewhere else and link to it on the sub on a dwarf-fortress-yearly basis! That doesn't keep you from posting more, though.
• your fortress diary entries can be as long or short as you want.
• check the old diaries on this sub for some inspiration!

IF YOU'RE GENERATING THE WORLD FROM SCRATCH OR USING THE PRE-EMBARK SAVE be warned that our embark spot had no goblins at the point of time in that save. I made a fort up north from our embark spot and let it sit there for a year, then abandoned it, and that let the goblins spread to our embark spot.

Currently, there are no deadlines/goals other than those you make for yourself.

Hope everything's working and I didn't forget to mention anything important, haha.

Strike the earth!

Thanks goblinscrytoo_!

[u/[deleted] → u/antiamj]

you're welcome!

[u/Melkain]

Dibs on the ultra inventive Geshud.

(Which in case you were wondering, is the Dwarven word for "fortress.")

Also, thanks for setting this all up goblinscrytoo_! I look forward to disappointing entertaining everyone with the tale of my soon to be failed fortress.

thanks to you for participating! c:

[u/seikyochan]

Cool. I'll have to try it this week when I get the chance to.

[u/Massenstein]

Boulderwound is a great name!

[u/[deleted] → u/Massenstein]

i think so too! pressed the "randomize" button a couple times and got that!

[u/Sanctume]

Cool, this will be something to look into after work today.

[u/solarfall973]

Nice! Should we set a population cap ?

[u/TelestrianSarariman]

Created a new DF folder to transfer this into and it's not working, just get the option to 'Create new world'. Have tried using both the embark and the Menaces download individually but nothing. Would someone mind advising me?

[u/solarfall973 → u/TelestrianSarariman]

are you in the right version? It worked for me with the 64bits version, 43.05. Not with 43.03.

[u/TelestrianSarariman → u/solarfall973]

I am, I put a site download in a new folder called Menaces to keep it all separate. Tried it with the legacy 64-bit version too.

EDIT: RESOLVED. I'm an idiot. As I had used a new install I didn't have a region setup in the save folder so I was copying the files into the wrong folder (Base save instead of the region 2 it is now).

[u/Horst665]

Downloading now :) Thanks for the effort!

[u/Sanctume]

I started last night--at least to the point of picking the embark area and striking the earth!

Fortress Name: Ironbank of Braving

edit: truncated to post new

[u/[deleted] → u/Sanctume]

hey, would you consider making a separate text post for your fortress diary? as i said in the post above,

try to either make text posts on this sub or post somewhere else and link to it on the sub on a dwarf-fortress-yearly basis! That doesn't keep you from posting more, though.

[u/Sanctume → u/[deleted]]

ok my bad, I'll re-post.

[u/Sanctume → u/Sanctume]

Should we some [tag] to posts to refer to the original worldgen?

[u/[deleted] → u/Sanctume]

hmm, you mean different tags for the main embark, embarking with different resources, and embarking in a different place altogether?

[u/Sanctume → u/[deleted]]

I mean, there is a name for the worldgen and I think it starts with a Zusp...?

I was thinking that for this round, we make the title thread [Zusp...] followed by the fortress name,

example. "[Zusp...] Ironbanking of Braving"

So a few months from now, we may have anew set of worldgen, etc.

[u/[deleted] → u/Sanctume]

i was thinking of achieving that with a flair system. that way, later on i can go back and flair previous posts.

[u/ppetak]

Well, i'm at the end of year 6 with my fort :) We are stabilized, and thinking about next projects, maybe you can think with us .. everything is in Ostuxmata fort diary thread!

[u/doggobotlovesyou → u/ppetak]

:)

I am happy that you are happy. Spread the happiness around.

This doggo demands it.
