Dwarf Fortress Megathread! - Necro'd enough to count as a vampire
Jacob/Lee:

Okay, I need to re-do this completely. I had too many twists and turns to do, so I'm going to try and place the windmills directly above the pumps so I just have to use vertical axles and a gear.

Yeah, I hate that. Most of my pump setups have me building more windmills to power the axles and gears rather than the pumps themselves.
Dropshock:
Augh, stuff. I just remembered I have to power four pumps, not two. So I'll need more windmills now.
Maybe I'll use a waterwheel. I don't know.
blaman:
I've seemingly lost my fortress. :/
I had it going really damn well too. Somehow when I went to load it, it loaded a fortress I built that was on the same map, but had abandoned. Whenever I go into that save it just loads that old abandoned fortress and never my new one. My new fortress was autosaved many times, along with being manually saved twice, I just can't access it. I may try and find it in adventure mode or something... see if it still actually exists.
Has anyone seen this problem before? I'm using the LazyNewbPack GUI, if that has anything to do with it.

Perhaps you have more than one Dwarf Fortress installation and you are using the wrong one.
Captain Crazy:
Got a problem: All of the water sources have frozen over, which is bad. How do I break the ice so my dwarfs can drink?
