well i started something new

i made a world, switched the view to see flat lvls(via Tab)  and then randomly ran over all the map with me eyes kinda closes(so i couldn't see any of the numbers.  made sure i wasn't on an ocean and embarked.

first problem that killed me, Aquifer.  gonna parouse the how to sections, i had a building plan that had over 12 screwpumps, and half the underground map mined out in prep for the incoming water.  needless to say it didn't work, not because of the pumps and area for the water, but my bloody dwarves kept standing in the middle of the wall building site.


FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDGE


well, gonna try it again, with a new map.

I have a tendency to mentally create a story of the fortress and its workings.  As well as building exclusively off of ore veins when I am able to.

Masterwork as has been suggested before and other mods. Try your hand at modding, too, it's not very difficult. I mean to say, it's not very difficult to make changes - to get them to work in ways you actually want, as opposed to having your dwarves explode on embark is another matter, and part of the fun  ;D

Other than that get creative. Sketch some ideas for a fort, then build them.
I'm currently attempting to do that, and once I'm done with that I want to model the fort in minecraft. (If only minecraft had more decorations)
