I've recently started adding on to my fortress into the upper z-levels, and I'd like some suggestions for things to do with these areas.


Some notes:

I have no access to anything you can only find in a mountain or the ocean

I have no regular water sources except for murky pools and infrequent rains.

There is a strange lack of non-vermin wildlife in my region.

A floating palace in the sky for your dwarves to party in. Made entirely out of clear glass so they can get a good view as they waste away productivity.

[Nerdgasmic]

Complete with a vermin/work animal zoo?


What should I make the statues out of, gold and glass; or a more "art deco" iron and steel?

[Therosfire]

Why not both? Gold and Glass Statues studded with Iron and Steel, and encrusted with jewels.

[Nerdgasmic]

There's a way to add metal studs to things manually?

[Therosfire]

No, but they will decorate the closest object to them that doesn't already have that specific decoration item on it. So I would assume you'd just drop a custom stock pile down next to your workshop, set it only to accept your statues. And start the decorating.

[Nerdgasmic]

Well, thanks, this was a pretty neat idea.

Or, make your funeral complex 10 Z-level up. Dorf would be please for the afterlife as they are nearer to heaven.

That's elf-talk, Dwarven heaven is underground.

[Tradanbattlan]

Dwarven heaven is on a platform in the middle of lava.
That's what I did with my graves.
Made a platform in the middle of my lava pipe and detatched it from everything else.
Everything still floats.
