Captnduck, how many times do you have to retry finding a place to play before you get a place you want to stick with? It seems maps that have something have none of another thing and I can never have good forts.

[captnduck]

Actually quite a long time. I cheated for this fort and edited the .ini file so magma pipes and underground rivers show up on the map, then i looked around a lot for a perfect spot that also had trees and sand.

Why doesn't he use wall grates instead of fortifications?

[captnduck]

because fortifications are easier to make since there carved out of rock

[truean]

Just curious, is anyone else having problems with the high quality version? I can't seem to get it to load past the first few seconds. By the way, you are great Capt Duck. :)

[captnduck]

Seems fine now. Whenever anyone gets problems, its probably youtube acting up a little. Try waiting or getting the vids from the internetarchive, there is a link on my channel page.

Behind each 10 minute video is _hours_ of work.

Thankyou so much captnduck, these videos are awesome.

I disapprove this video.  Safety precautions of lava dwelling creatures directly reduces the chances of spontaneous dwarf combustion. And by spontaneous I mean on purpose. and by combustion I mean running around setting everything on fire.

why did you waste all of the rock you could've used stockpiled for rock and saved all of it for later

[weirdguy0]

What is the chance of starting out on a place that has a underground river, chasm and magma? Which you cant see from the generated map?

[InfernoWolf11]

I'll always hate your tileset haha

[Artiph]

I could imagine. I can't find anything like what I'm after. Maybe I should toggle on map displays for those things, eh? Well, everything but Adamantine, I still want that to be a legitimate surprise.

Damnit you need bauxite floodgate, i did with regular rock now there is just bauxite mechanism all over the place from the floodgate.

Things from build menu will not melt only if it is not submerged.

Also magma will not rise out of its z-level like water, even it is channeled down from above.
