Quickly build towers?
« on: June 02, 2015, 02:12:21 am »

Is there any way to quickly build a tower from above ground? Quickfort has its limitations when dealing with this situation.

I kind of figured out a fast way just now, but it needs more testing.

suppose the tower is n*n*m.
We use quickfort.
Steps:
1. Build a up/downstairs tower of m floors on each side, n/2+1 distance from center.
2. Build m floors of (n+2)^2 area. If n > 21, build 10 tiles from every side each time until rest of the area can be covered in one time.
3. d-n all the tiles that you wish to have walls/stairs. Don't forget to build some support at lower level.
4. Build walls and stairs.
5. d-n the exterior tiles.

Step 1,3,4,5 will only take one quickfort file. Step 2 takes n/20+1 files. So in total you only need n/20+5 files to have a tower built with quickfort.
