Hematite
This month wasnt that busy. I had realized that maybe there werent enough farms so ordered the construction of two more. The damn miners took two full months to get the freaking rooms ready, lazy bums. I pulled the lever and the water rushed into the small passage.
Malachite
MIGRANTS!
I just had a dwarfgasm right there.
Heres the complete list of the dwarves.
6 new laborers, and only two of them sucked so much I had to draft them into the weaponless, armorless (but not if Cowabunga has anything to say about) militia. I guess the capital actually gives a flying flesh ball about us after all.
*sigh* I had just taken the milk I bought before we left to make it into cheese. The stupid haulers let two wheels get rotten. Maybe I should appoint a sheriff, but hed probably be the one at fault and end up jailing himself.
The water
so slow
so very, very slow
Then it occurs to me that the entrance for the water is TINY and that it has to go diagonally. I ordered Diamondeye to channel out the dirt blocking the flow. Water is going in much faster now.
One of the dwarves informed me that we finally got all that crap off the wagon, so I had woot7 chop it up with his axe and bring the remnants inside. I was on the staircase, watching him take it to the wood stockpile, when one of the dwarves, DaveShack I think, came up to me and said that the workshop area was, well, kinda crappy. I agreed and have the miners dig out some REAL rooms, ones that they could work in private in.
I then ordered the masons to build up walls so the rooms would be nice and uniform. And this way, if we ever get a crazy, we can just dig from the floor above and drown him. I
love dwarven engineering.
Some of the dwarves were asking me why I had them build a tower. Isnt it obvious? Goblins are ******ed and cant open floor hatches or doors, and trolls arms are too stubby to break them from below.
Then they asked me about giant cave swallows. Ever look up, dumbasses?
Finally, one of them asked me why we didnt just cave a cave in the side of a mountain.
I punched him in the face.
Galena
Finally! The freaking farms are flooded!
I ordered the advancement into the second stage of irrigation!
Well be growing Plump Helmets in no time
at all?
Wait, what? How did
Then I saw what made DaveShack run away screaming like a little elf the second time. ANOTHER kobold. They must have had a third guy with them
but we just got here! Its not even autumn yet! How did they freaking find us?
Wait. I know. The capital said there would be 7 migrants. One of them must have been my evil twin brother, Double X! He must be establishing a fort somewhere else and tipped off the kobolds!
Ill get you, you bastard.
Oh, damn. I should check on the farms
yep, they stabilized. Stupid freaking kobolds. Stupid freaking brother. Now Ill have to make pumps.
Theres another one slightly to the north. But its there. Oh, yes. Its there. MWAHAHAHAHAHA!
did I just write that?
Uh
uh
RANDOM DIAGRAM OF IRON AND LIGNITE MINING!
Heh, thatll throw them off.
And what do you know, one of the dogs just had puppies! Theyll make great war hounds one day, Im sure of it! Too bad we dont have any kittens yet, weve already run out of meat. Oh, and its autumn.

Yes, we only have one pick. No, it's not a problem.
