Hello there people from the df forum, im here to show you a project of mine, see a man has a choice, and i chose the impossible! i want to build a city where the dwarves can enjoy the underwater life without drawning (at least not all of them) and to finally leave a little something of my creation on this forum, and so i decided to build a dwarf fortress version of rapture.

after designing the whole thing without unpausing i discoveres that for some reason the dwarven caravan wouldnt come, this meant, no inmigrants and no nobles making my project really hard and in the end not complete (since i had designes a good part of the city specially for the nobles and for the economy) so i have decided to move on into another project (a minas tirith based city wich im still designing atm and for wich i will make a thread in some days wen im done) i will try again to make it after the new version comes out with a hospital and a better military and so on, in the meantime here are the designations i had made

You probably want this in a different forum, unless you are looking for some modding solutions.

I think you can grow tree caps on constructed tiles, assuming you have an underground river to initiate their growth and then muddy the tiles.

I actually think that this set should remain in the forum files.  Its using the DF system in a totaly new way that the game may not support.  I'm new myself, and have no experience with modding or programming in general, so I'm wishing you luck!

If you need trees though, you can mod a reaction into the game to give you free trees and the like.  Otherwise you'll have to go through all the trouble of creating caps, like Brick suggested.  Otherwise, I'm not sure how you'd create a purely under-water world unless you have some land to start digging under.  I've never tried myself.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand.
Whats underwater?
Is the fortress under an ocean?

the project is based on rapture, the city from bioshock, wich is indeed, a city built in the bottom of the ocean, my plan here was to dig it out, then dig out a cavern around it and fill it with ocean water.

Genious! Pure genious!

actually its amazing how wen you start doing it in this way (i mean designating the whole fortress and then diging it out) its a lot easier than the regular way, and it does wonders on the looks too, all you need then is some patience, i will admit though, the whole apartment like building for the dwarves made the designation of the 200 rooms a LOT faster, or at least it seemed that way to me.

still wait till im done with my next project, THAT is genius, is a citiy based on minas tirith with the chance to fill each area with either water or magma or both, and also being able to fill the area in wich the city is built with water and make it posisble for the dwarves to stay alives via sealing the buildings and opening a secret underground passages between the buildings.

"Is a dwarf not entitled to the sweat of his brow? 'No!' Says the elf in the forest, 'It belongs to the trees!' 'No!' says the dwarf in the fortress 'It belongs to Armok!' 'No!' says the man in the capital 'It belongs to everyone.'"

Shouldn't megaprojects go in the df dwarf mode discussion forum?
