Ceilingact - 302 Early Spring by Phlamethrower

Map Description:

Ceilingact - ice hovel.

A group of foolhardy dwarves on the run from the orcs decided to try building a home in the middle of a glacier. Although the magma pipe gives them heat, at the end of the first year they have no water and precious little farm land. Although the entrance has modest defenses there is no military, and it is only a matter of time before the orcs find them.

Point of Interest: Red sand staircase

( 302 Early Spring → onwards )

It appears there are small amounts of sand trapped in the ice. Unfortunately the staircase does not function as a sand collection zone. - Phlamethrower

There should be many very obvious problems with the viewer; please check the Issues page to notify or comment on the most egregious problems to help me prioritise. The most common will be Loading... with an error in the browser developer tools console. e.g. RangeError: Offset is outside the bounds of the DataView.

Operation GET WELL SOON was a complete success!

By which I mean it failed.

Although it succeeded in generating lots of water and killing a kitten, the water then promptly ran straight down the funnel and out a hole in the bottom of the map.

Well, you learn something new every day.

You managed to make a mini chasm by accident? How freaking cool is that.

Do Dwarves actually freeze if their beds aren't close to magma?

Sealing the fort with magma... ?

Well, it keeps the orcs out.

Everyone died, BTW. A goblin seige turned up just as the last baby died, so the goblins ended up claiming victory.
