Source: Common understanding of physics supports warp reality around them, causing physics to gtfo.

They don't warp reality: since Dwarves, master builders, make indestructible constructions, one support can bear an infinite amount of weight.

Why can't our physics be simple as that, too?

To give science teachers a job.

Don't worry, there are plenty of DF players that get confused with DF physics. Physics teachers would still have a job if the world were simulated under DF's engine.

That sounds like a lot more fun.

Does anybody have good blueprints for a skull? I looked around the internet for a while, all I found were weird minecraft builds.

What are you trying to do, a skull fortress?

[Mesa]

Also, if let's say I wanted to make a flourishing kobold tribe (as described a few pages back...)
Are the caverns connected to the surface or would I need to make a temporary opening fort to get there?

It's more like putting a skull on top of a fortress, but yes.

In my experience kobold caves are always opened to the surface.
Once I had such a 'cave' extend above the surface of one of my embarks, shaping a huge pillar of stone.. It was at least 5 z-levels high, it had holes filled with socks and kobolds all over it and two of them were stuck on top of the pillar with no way to get down. Ever.
I have no proof, but you got to believe me. It was beatiful in it's own ASCII-way.

ALL HAIL THE KOBOLD SPIRE!

[Eric Blank]

Eh, nonsensical positioning of blocks and creatures happens all the time in DF, no biggy.

However, how are you going to create your kobold tribe in the first place, DarkDXZ? Kobolds aren't playable creatures by default, and currently it seems that most people wouldn't want to play a modded succession world game, maybe even if the only modifications made were to make kobolds playable.

[WillowLuman]

Setting them playable as an embark civ is modding, since it requires some extensive changes to their entity raws to let them survive after embark, but just enabling them for adventure play is really more of a hack since it doesn't change their vanilla traits or behaviors.

[DVNO]

How'd I'd make a skull fortress.

First, take a look at the common dwarf skull. Eight pixels horizontally, roughly twelve pixels vertically. Let's take the bottom amount of pixels and assume that as the y axis as well to keep it simple.



SO, take the base foundation of the project space, make it a square number, and double the amount of blocks height wise, shave the outmost top and bottom ring of blocks and you have the basic skull shape.

Add lava eyes. 

[WillowLuman]

Or just carve it out of the side of a volcano, for extra awesome.

[mastahcheese]

Well... You can play as a koold adventurer in vanilla with no modding if all of the other playable races have been eliminated.

So if something goes horribly wrong...

There's always that extra pocket world for shenanigans...

[Mesa]

Bumpin' for...No reason? Probably.
But as we're heading closer and closer towards the release...
