What the topic says, come share your fort current goal and come back and give progress updates!
I'll go first. My current fort is an underwater fort. I want to do it in a lake, so I dont have to deal with salt water.
Now for the bonus points. I want the outside to be all mastercraft clear glass blocks. So that its like the Fortress is inside a bubble of air under the late. Ah, but I'm going to do an indoor waterfall all around the, so that it gets the affect like there only water between the fort and the lake.
Then I want the fortress to break the first cavern level. I want to do a glass dome on the bottom the fortress, and have the fortress proper be suspended above this, so that the glass inclosed fortress is floating within the lake.
Now for the surface. For the surface, I don't there be a persistent bridge between Fort and the land. Instead I only want there to be a connection to the fort when the lake freezes over. Now to signify this great occurrence, I an going to have a lava current over where the fortress breaks through the ocean. During the off moments this would be a white tower. Maybe made out of Marble (Masterwork blocks.) or maybe masterwork Steel. I havent decided. I didnt want to go with glass here, because I wanted where the fortress was to be greatly visible.
Now for the socio aspect of the fortress. Now obviously, this is verging on a mega project. This is going to take awhile. So there going to be a Fort before the Fort.
This Fort, is going to be the land part of the lake, which I'm trying to make as small as possible to maximize my underwater fort.
So I'm going to have a very small fort, building a very large fort. And I want it to be an above ground fort, as I want to keep the two separate. So is not going more then two z levels down, but it can be as high as it wants. I'm not sure about this part, as I dont want it to look to silly.
After the fort is actually done, I also not sure what I'm going to be doing with land fort. I was thinking of maybe letting immigrants stay there, and 'earn' the right to live in the water fortress. Ni idea.
