I would love to make some kind of mega-project above-ground such as a castle or something. Aside from this not being very dwarfy its impossible to build workshops and the like on-top of constructed floors. So basically  I think it would be pretty awesome to make a huge castle where you could build everything above ground and just have a cellar underground or something like that!

And the point of this thread is...?

[harry427]

just to suggest being able to build on a constructed floor just like any other floor in the game

[Trif]

You can do that.

[harry427]

really, even things like breweries on constructed stone floor?

[LordBaal]

Yup, you can do so.

[harry427]

Oh yeah thanks guys, time to build a castle!

I think the dorfy solution to an assumption that you can't build workshops on constructed floors is to rig up a couple of colossal pump stacks, cast an enormous block of obsidian from magma and water on the surface, and then mine it until it's in the shape of the above-ground fortress you want.

I like building a castle with a tower to another castle in the sky above it so I can catapault things off the edge of the castle above the castle.

[Putnam]

...Where'd you get the idea that you couldn't?

[harry427]

Woah, Weenog if i manage to make a neat castle ima do that next embark.
I didn't think i could do it because i tried to make an up stair on a constructed floor. I just assumed that you couldn't make other buildings on it too. But lo and behold its just other constructions like walls that you cant build on floors.

Hmm. When I saw the title I expected the request to be about making mega-projects that do something, like wonders in other games. Different gods might be pleased or annoyed by things you construct depending on what they represent, and gift or curse you respectively.
