Looking for cavemates

[killerdynamo]

I've just started work on my underground living project and I'm looking for a few people to help fill the mine.

some of the benefits are:
easily defended, I'll be building a brick wall around the ladder, so no one gets in without a key.
our hearthfires, cabins (if you feel the need to build one underground), and town idol (if we get that many people) won't effect the local wildlife
it's awesome
lots of room

If you're interested you must be willing to follow certain guildlines about digging as most of the structure of the town will be tunnels and dug out 'rooms', and you must treat your cavemates kindly.

If you're interested in moving in, send me a message and I'll tell you where it is.

Have a look through the threads, I'm fairly sure there's already a few communities living underground... maybe join one of them?

Just a few pointers:
1 - Hearth fires in a mine DO effect cic census (If I Recall Correctly)
2 - Not sure if you can build an idol in a mine...
3 - You won't be able to grow trees or crops underground, so make sure you have some space up top to get your lumber for fueling the smelters and some bread to stop you starving.
4 - You won't be able to get clay from underground, so make sure you have some space up top to get your clay for making bricks for your smelters.

If you just plan on importing what you don't have then that'd probably work too, Laketown looks forward to supplying you with food, wood and leather if you require in exchange for precious precious metals ^_^

I for one am making my way there.
Um... a map would be really helpful, though.

All we need now is a Dwarve character graphic...

I haven't looked through the entire thread history, but if you're referring to the dwarf settlement thread, I started that and this is the continuation of it (that thread got kind of sidetracked so I decided I should start another one).

1. I don't know if it's been changed since then (it has been a while) but in the civ census announcement thread loftar said that they do not.
2. I'll have to check, which means I'll have to get lawspeaking...
3 and 4. I picked a good spot for the mine taking as many things as I could into account, both of these and a few more included.


Peter, I just PMed you a very crude map

Im interested, ive pmed you!

Hmm... mines can now be dug, using 400 chunks of wood, and apparently they can be built within existing mines. You know what this means.
Z-LEVELS!!!
