Dwarf Fortress Post
Jun. 1st, 2017 08:38 pm8:38pm - Ahh the first non-work post! I'm playing Dwarf Fortress and I decided that since it's such a complex and strategic game that I'd keep a log of what I'm doing, to keep myself focused and perhaps entertain my friends.
It's not long past the foundation of my new fort, "Inkmost". I've decided to settle in the middle of a deep valley with a brook near a forest. I've set my dwarves to work, one chopping down nearby trees, and digging out their initial shelter. The first bit of shelter is down a long two storey ramp into the depths. I like to have a long route into the fort for defensive reasons. Then the wide corridor breaks off into two areas, the first will be the initial shelter where the dwarves will set up basic workshops and the second will be where the trade depot and export storage are located. The initial shelter will later become the fort's main inn and tavern. Above ground I built a fisherdwarf workshop to start off some basic food collection, as well.
For now I'm just waiting for them to finish digging out the underground areas I mentioned.
9:04pm - Alright, I've got the first area dug out and some basic workshops set up. A masonry, a carpentry, a kitchen and a still. I've got the carpenter making the first wooden beds and the mason making grates for the light piping, as well as a door and a few hatches to keep thieving pests out. The carpenter is also set to make a barrel and a couple bins when he's done the beds. I'll keep them updated with tasks manually for now.
The next project for my industrious miners is the light piping, or chimney, of the fort. It's the backbone of every fort I build, almost literally. It's the main stairwell leading between the floors, and it's got a ring of grates for light to filter down from the overworld, so the dwarves don't get cave adaptation.
9:19pm - Alright I put in the top of the chimney but I'm debating with myself if I want it to be wider... I should probably go with the size I've got since it's the size I've got. Anyways I'm saving and quitting for now. It's time to have breakfast.
