You sir, have the current prize for most haphazard fort layout for a single person in my book.

DFMA or it didn't happen.

OP you upload it.

As I said, for a one man cluster fuck he did quite well.
I couldn';t even figure out how dwarves were getting in and out until I watched some workers go through a hole in the wall.

Wow that's pretty... different. I'll stick with that as the adjective.
Maybe this one should be put up for general download as a curiosity.

That style is total antithesis of mine which has every single block of the main fort pre-laid out (in Dia since I can't afford autocad) which I then apply to forts and anything else new beyond that I pre-plan then place as well.  Almost OCD level of careful layout. I'd drive myself nuts otherwise keeping up with all the dwarves.

I like nice uniform linive spaces myself. Designated shop space on floor 1,farms on 2 if there's soil, living quarters in the stone layers. All carefully laid out. I'm the antithesis of the succession game it seems. Hoo boy will I have fun when My turn rolls around again....

To me personally, this is as big a mindrape as Swordthunders was.I emptied the pool, now getting the dead axelords out is next. And designating all the dead invaders to be cremated in magma and used to fuel our forges.

[arphen]

Also this fort was laid out extremely carefully. I think it's very effective, although it might be a little intertwined.
I hate soil.

Ok, that translates to my own organization as a lattice of sheer WTF DOES THIS CRAP DO!? I pulled a lever thinking it'd activate the access ramp to the depot anbd the dwarves would shut up aboutgetting thier dead buddies' socks. I don't even know wtf it did.

year 2 pics
edit :don't pull the levers near the water they control the water.
The lever on z level +2 was supposed to control the bridge, which is now deconstructed so i dont think it does anything

[Splint]

See previous post. I'm having trouble figuring out this stuff at all. For all I know I just broke the magma forges.

Kudos on the functioning piston though.

You can't really break anything with the forges really... there are no lever controlled parts with the piston.
gimme a screenshot...

I have yet to find a file hoster that treats me right.

I pulled the one on the main floor, where the wall access is. And I meant I may have obsidianized the forges' lava flow when I emptied the pond to get the dead soldiers' kit and bodies.

[arphen]

Well then just dig the obsidian out and shit, you cant have obsidianized it all... there's too much of that stuff

[Splint]

If I blocked the flow by bad luck I'll be short a miner in the sesultant mess, and judgiung by this clusterfuck, I'm amazed 56 dwarves are even still breathing.

[arphen]

I mean the situation is not THAT bad, there's plenty of booze and plenty to eat youve got mass steel and magma forges. ( and 66 iron sarcophagi which i made when i panicked)
