Surround clock with waterlock(or magmalock). A use for an otherwise theoretical device!

I did.  I'm also fairly certain I know how Mr DaVinci disabled the clock.  Spoilsport :-P

Sent PM on locating and disarming method, as well as the improvement to make that not work in future versions.

Huh, wasn't even close to what I thought was done.  Clever and surprising though.  Can't actually stop the clock being located with that method.

Would you mind posting some screenshots somewhere for people who don't have Ironhand raws available?

This looks cool as hell but I can't run anything beyond vanilla DF on my mac.

[ThatAussieGuy]

I believe there's a way to fix the raws between visualizers and raw ascii, isn't there?  Anyone know how?

Just for the purposes of viewing/playing the map, I copied my (vanilla) inorganic_stone_x.txt raws to the downloaded save game's raw folders to overwrite them. I didn't bother checking to see if anything was made of cheese after the edit, but it made the map look better and playable.

Copying raws in other games might lead to the game crashing or other odd stuff if the person used mods on their map.

[ThatAussieGuy]

I thought it might be that simple, but wasn't sure.  The game's unmodded.  Pure vanilla 34.07, save for the Ironhand tileset

Well so far I've perverted the HFS, Fire and now Death to my own means.  Water seems the next logical step.

Edit: Oh wait, I did do water already with the waterlock... Hmm... Oh well, the thing I want to do with an ocean is far bigger and outrageous.  If it works.

Bioshock:DF...Armored war elephants that are released when you don't create enough female dwarven child skull totems?

The people 'round here seem to be a rather unusually nice bunch; I can't imagine you're all sociopaths

I can bet my ass that the doom  o clock is in the HFS.

I can bet my ass that the doom  o clock is in the HFS.

I think if that was the case there would be demons walking in on reclaim.  However, putting it down there and resealing hell would actually be a significant deterrent to tampering or finding the clock.

It isn't, though that would have certainly been interesting.

When you say something is interesting, I get this strange image of Chase from House with a clipboard in a Weyland-Yutani facility next to a gore covered window.  Its awesome and disquieting at the same time.

So has anyone let the Doom Clock run out yet just to see what happens?

[Uristocrat]

I was able to locate the clock using without using dfhack or exploratory mining, and then disarm it. 

However, the method I used could be protected against in another version of the device.

It is also possible to protect against some versions of the "link it to the nearby floor/wall so the support doesn't matter" solution. Collapse the floor and drop the sky on top of the fort as well as collapsing the fort itself.

So much junk and dead bodies on the map. Reclaim scatter is annoying.

I'm just glad I'm not the only one who appreciates weaponizing the sky

[ThatAussieGuy]

Now that it's been a few days and everyone's gotten a chance to meddle with the fort, I'm going to add pictures to the OP.  That said, could someone with stonesense do me a big favour and take some general exterior screenshots of the place?  Message me with the url to photobucket or whatever site is hosting them and I'll put one or two up alongside my level-by-level screencaps and credit for whoever took them if they want it noted.
