So remember that Werelizard? Yeah that one causes big Issues even though it is dead. It infected one person, which then later turned, then that person infected yet another person, then I decided “hey that one person got sick after being attacked, maybe i should banish them”, which did NOT work because someone ELSE was infected (poor person who was missing arms and a leg, and is now somewhere in the wilderness), then another case of infection, and right now my Mayor/Chief-Doctor is the last person who turned and caused a ruckus before eventually getting killed by the population. Cannot wait for the next random person to turn into a Werelizard and kill 2 or 3 people.
Everyone is either depressed, stressed or has PTSD from all of this. At least I also banished that one Asshole Hunter who constantly tantrumed around, so he is no longer an Issue.
If my Fortress goes down there is several things I learned:
- I should use the Dwarf Therapist Mod, managing Jobs is such a hassle if you cant even know who is idle or has low workload.
- Use a full 16x16 Embark Site, 4x4 is rather small
- Seal myself the fuck in so nothing can attack me from the Outside, and make sure I have enough Wood in my Base to last me for a long time. Not like Trade or Migration is any useful for me. Maybe I will find a way to make Migration work at the very least, like deconstructing the entrance wall and then building it up again once everything is inside.
- I now know how to properly make a “less tall” staircase, so that will help with the entrance Area. I mean less Room above your Head with the tallness.
- I found out how to get Water properly in my Underground Area. I just need to choose a better location next time, so the Well is actually close to the rest of my settlement. And that Well is very important if I run out of Booze for whatever fucking reason such as poor Storage User Interface (see previous post), and Dwarves decide to drink their own Vomit rather than go outside to the fucking River!
