This should help out.

Requesting status update, captain!

[Crossroads Inc.]

Hmm I need to start poking Reudh, he says he's almost done with his turn...

[Crossroads Inc.]

So Melkor just sent me a PM, if we can't get Rudeh to upload his save by next week, we'll have to skip him and start the turn over

[Crossroads Inc.]

Ok everyone! I got a PM from Ruedh this morning!
He says he'll upload the file soon for the next person

[Lich180]

Awesome, think I'm next in line!

[Dunamisdeos]

Hooray! I want to have my turn (eventually) so much

[Crossroads Inc.]

For whoever is next, just remember that our "Current" mega project is to build a NON dwarf powered pumpstack to get water from the underground Ocean to the surface so we may "Make a Paradise of the Desert"

[Dunamisdeos]

I'm sure you guys know, but don't forget to handle pressure properly at the outlet if that stuff is headed for the surface. Checkerboard them walls, pressure doesn't translate through diagonal movement.

Has anyone built a power plant or anything? What is the wind like, and I don't remember if we have an aquifer...

[Crossroads Inc.]

Not yet, that should be job one for whoever starts the next turn after they Download the map by Ruedh.
Um... Does anyone know if he has posted it yet? He said he would...

[Lich180]

Ok, the list says I'm next, so I'll be sure to get right on that project, and see what can be done to get that water up. I'll aim to get the pump stack and a reservoir at least. Haven't seen anything about the save yet sadly. Hopefully he posts it soon, I have all day tomorrow to myself so I can look around and see what all I can get done.

Booted up and old save, and are we drawing water from both cavern layers we have exposed, or just the one? There is a drain in the first layer, leading off the map so I'm not sure if that is for more cavern access or what. Anyone know?

[Crossroads Inc.]

As far as I know, the plan was to pump water "initially" from the first ocean up to the top.
There was a VERY long term plan to build a Huge cistern and then later pump water from the 2nd underground ocean.

One was going to feed the "gardens" (aka Artificial lakes and river)
And the other was going to feed an artificial waterfall that was supposed to go over the main entrance to the fort (this was to mostly provide an Auto cleaning system for all the Dwarves.)

The Waterfall was a much more long term project, because it will require building a really complicated draining system to ensure slime and crud doesn't build up in huge piles as it washes off the Dwarves.

Also...

Not heard back from Reudh since he PM'ed me on the 11th, :/

[Lich180]

Ok. Hoping to get the save soon, so I can start looking things over.
