yeah pretty much. the goal is to build a launchpad and send a rocket to space, but you've got to research your way there and manufacture all the requisite components to do so.
start up an electrical system so you don't need to keep feeding coal into drillers and forges? you'll need copper, iron and cogs, so start mining them. build a steam plant, use it to power your drillers so you don't have to keep feeding them.
now you need more advanced power generation and distribution, which relies on chips, so you need to build factories that create wire from the copper, then feed that into other factories that combine the copper wire and iron plates in order to make basic circuit boards. want more advanced circuit boards for more complicated machines and science? you'll need to research petrochemicals, find oil wells and set up pumpjacks. then you need to set up refineries that convert crude oil to petroleum, and further refine the petroleum into plastics by combining it with coal. you can then combine the plastic, the copper wire and the first-generation circuitboards to create more advanced circuits, which you need to do second-tier (there are... six? tiers of research, all requiring increasingly advanced components)_research.
but there's a problem, you're not getting coal to the refineries fast enough to keep up with your factories' demand for plastic, and you're making so much copper wire that it's backing up the conveyor belts. WHAT DO! -
2023-01-08 at 7:29 AM UTCall the subsystems are way complicated too, like you can set up a network of rail signals so that you can have tens of trains on interconnecting tracks and the signals stop them from derailing each other
there's also a system of logic gates that will let you configure factories to stop constructing when other factories' output drops so you can keep claw arms and conveyor belt production in a 1:1 ratio (green science packs require 1 of each) and stuff like that but I haven't even touched that yet -

lol this is just starting to sound like late game DF inventory stockpile sorting stuff which is one of the most nightmare partts of the game for me. Maybe you can use the extra copper to wrap around the neck and strangle your competition factories
I'm just gonna start taking anything I don't need and launching it at my enemies , produce too many tables? catapult it at the enemy.
I was looking up designs for a shotgun minecart loader and found this innovation which should work well since I was already gonna put the slave farm/water system there
I'm gonna load a dead boady with some teeth/bones and skulls and have it get pushed through a water tank of water laced with poison and then fill a warehouse with those and launch them at incoming assholesPersonally, I favor loading water into my shotguns.
(When you fire a cart full of water it stays together and sails down the passage as an incredibly fast 'wave', although there are less projectiles to cause strikes, it has an immense mass that slams whatever it hits down the passageway bouncing it off the floor over and over and turning it into a mangled heap)
The main reason being that you can instantly fill a minecart with water (by submerging it in a flooded room with a roller-track), meaning you never have to hand load your ammunition. If you also put grates on the floor in the target area, the water just drains down into a catch basin and can be pumped back to the holding tank… providing nearly unlimited ammunition and requiring far less dwarven labor.

2023-01-08 at 7:56 AM UTCI'll get it if I see it on sale
I remember Rizzo and others ranting about it when it was an ascii game but the layout just pissed me off too much to give it a try -
2023-01-08 at 8:09 AM UTCIT SAID 50 DUDES WHAT TEH FUCK I guess DEMONS don't count towards population, I was expecting maybe 100 trolls and beak dogs at the most not fucking 20000 DEMONS jesus christ WEELL TEHRE GOES MY PLANS, maybe their other fort is actually 200 goblins which would explain why they take forever to send raiding squads to me
fuck this world

its free lol just use a texture pack that has the graphics, not sure how or if tjhey load but IM SURE SOMEONE FIGURED IT OUT BY NOW
i googled how to pirate dwarf fortress texture pack and this is what came up

2023-01-08 at 8:31 AM UTCoh lol I thyought you were playing the steam version
https://store.steampowered.com/app/975370/Dwarf_Fortress/ -
2023-01-08 at 8:44 AM UTCby my estimates there are at least 200-300 Demons at FLOORHANDLED which is pretty much fucking impossible to get rid of and would require an army of like 100 of the best warriors in all of the lands, the best fighters in the world and heroes all banding together.
I'm supposed to be the last outpost of my civilization, all I have is 100 dudes and THEY ARE NOT ALL SOLDIERS, not even close. IT's time to hit the matrix boys we're going back in time to save the multiverse HOHAOAHOAHO
this is supposed to say "caged prisoner" not holy seasopn wtf THE TIMELINE IS WEIRD

I am, you can switch the graphics back and forth. the "premium edition" is just a texture pack and you can get the same thing by downloading the game for free and just ripping the texrtures from somewhere -

it's not gonna be on sale for a long time (per the company selling it), but the steam version and free version are the same you're literally just paying for the texture pack. scummy move would be: buy the game full price, copy all the graphics folders from data/vanilla, and do a no questions asked steam refund. :^) -

2023-01-12 at 11:32 AM UTCThis baby doesn't realize that her mom died in combat, and they only coded the mom to feed and give them water so they were just running around getting into all kinds of trouble and kept playing in the dead body pit (where her mom dropped her last)
I stuck her in the dingo cage so she would stop playing with goblin guts, but only the mother can [CLEAN SELF] a baby
also DINGO MEN can't do labors so he just stands there while it starves /thirst so I had to kidnap a manservant for the dingo man baby exhibit
I designated them as a church.
OOO OA SKUNK WOMAN
