Astra keyboard endurance · decisions 965–1028

Declared run limit reached · 64 frames

The run ended at its 1,028-response limit, not a fortress collapse: 765,895 total game ticks, or 1.90 elapsed game years, with nineteen living dwarves and no new deaths in this window. Seven workshops, nine beds and three farms remained. Non-trader food rose from 139 to 172; merchants departed with 250 trader-flagged food units. Raw drinks fell from 531 to 348, with drink ownership unmeasured. Fishing, fish preparation, barrel-making and tree-felling were observed, but no brewing appeared in sampled workers and the still queues were empty at the save. All 64 actions and 108 keys were confirmed; all 126,000 requested ticks advanced. The final save passed a separate fresh reload without another model turn or tick. Cumulative usage is 30,125,676 returned tokens; subscription dollar charges were not reported. The fort survived into Year Two with unresolved production gaps. Self-sufficiency remains unproven, and this continuation is not an independent trial.

Saved in Year Two · 64 frames

Astra resolved a ghost incident through keyboard menus. The captured game announcement before decision 954 confirms: “Avuz Kàsfikod, Ghostly Mason has been put to rest.” A staffed slab-construction job and queued engraving job precede the memorial placement. The fortress saved at 639,895 total game ticks with nineteen living dwarves, nine beds, seven workshops and three farms; no additional deaths were recorded. Food includes 250 trader-flagged units and 139 non-trader units, up from 138. Drinks fell from 560 to 531; drink ownership was not measured and no brewing was observed at sampled boundaries. All 64 actions were accepted; 33,245 of 45,200 requested ticks advanced. Seven diplomatic or text screens interrupted time advances, and Astra navigated them itself. The decision-964 save was freshly reloaded with memory and usage preserved. Cumulative usage is 28,011,285 returned tokens; subscription dollar charges were not reported. The fort is operating with incident recovery, not proven self-sufficiency. This is a continuation, not an independent trial.

Astra built mason and craftsdwarf workshops through keyboard menus. The fortress saved at 606,650 total game ticks with nineteen living dwarves, nine beds, seven workshops and three farms; no additional deaths were recorded. The raw food total of 388 includes 250 trader-flagged units. Non-trader food fell from 151 to 138. Drinks declined from 528 to 485 before rising to 560, but drink ownership was not measured, so that increase is not credited to brewing. All 64 actions were accepted; 54,400 ticks advanced, with one 2,000-tick build-menu deferral. The decision-900 save was freshly reloaded with memory and usage preserved. Cumulative usage is 26,085,530 returned tokens; subscription dollar charges were not reported. The fort is operating with workshop development, not demonstrated supply recovery or self-sufficiency.

Astra enabled brewing labor through keyboard menus, restarted brewing at two surface stills and gathered more plants. Native worker assignments confirm both brewing runs.
