The trees always grow back relatively quick too. I always use a lot of wood products, less metal and stone. | ||

I dug down soooo many floors, but I was never able to find any magma. How many floors can you expect to have to dig until you hit magma pools? And is it a whole layer, or is it only in spots of the layer? | ||

How many floors can you expect to have to dig until you hit magma pools? And is it a whole layer, or is it only in spots of the layer? Unless you're at a volcano, or you get a lucky site with lava founts in cave 1 or 2, you'll most usually have to dig down to below cave 3 to hit the magma sea. Based on your world generation options, this can easilly be 60-80 z-levels downwoards. And of course, once you find the magma, you have to either split your fort into your old close-to-surface part and new close-to-magma-forges-part, unless you want to recreate your entire old fort further down, which is a pain in itself. Or you could of course figure out pumpstacking and get the magma higher up. And then there's the lag from having discovered 100 z-worth of levels plus magma stack liquid physics having to recalculate all the time. Such joy! I'm not a fan of lower level magma workshops myself. | ||

 . If only it was a bit more intuitive on its own, the guides are helpful though. | ||

 edit: not to derail but ZZT is an amazing open-ended ASCII game as well. Old as shit but fun. | ||

I believe he was taken by a strange mood. It's usually a good thing, since it only comes during a time in the game where you usually have all (or most) workshops and most necessary materials. | ||

Losing is fun! seriously though, setting up farms in the frozen wasteland of my starting zone is proving to be more of a challenge than I had anticipated... EDIT: Anyone up for a succession game? ^_^ | ||
