Megaproject set up?
« on: March 25, 2011, 06:16:11 pm »
I have a nice Mega project idea, but I need a way to keep all my dwarfs happy with minimal space consumption, any suggestions?

^ Everything you ever need to know about mist.

ETA: Ninja'd. Still, set up a good mist-maker system in a nice dining room and/or statue garden, and watch the happy thoughts boom!

Artifacts and high quality goods placed in high-traffic areas help also. I'm pretty sure that engraving walls serves this purpose, too.

You could start a zoo and end up with a natural history museum, I'm sure no one would mind.

Don't know if a mist generator will compensate for a lack of bedrooms, but if not you can create some pretty opulent 1x2 or 1x3 bedrooms if you throw a gold cabinet in them. Maybe even 1x1 bedrooms would be good enough. Not sure how well extremely fancy dorm rooms work but since not all dwarves sleep at once you can get by with fewer beds.

If you get artifact chains/mechanisms/buckets, make them part of the well. Make them meet near the well. Presto.

You'll have to provide warm, moist kittens at the end of each test chamber.

Don't forget you can encrust said gold cabinet with gems, jewels, spikes of bone and stone, and if you are up to it, possibly some hanging rings of pig tail fiber or elf hair spider silk ...

   Why do I have the urge to shoot your statues in the eye with an arrow...did you take those statue pics from a zelda game?


  I'm currently working on building a prison tower. It will have the nicest beds, food/drink stockpiles in every room, and a window for each room on every side. I also plan on making a super deep pit on one side of it and dropping captured enemies off the tower into it.

Not my thread, but I recognize the statues from Minish Cap.
