I am just learning the game. I saw that someone made a computer in game. what other unique and bizarre things have people done?

[wierd]

Oh my.......... Let me find GirlInHat's science thread for you....

Here it is!

Bear in mind, that is HARDLY comprehensive.

The people here--- We just LOVE science. (teary eyes)

Someone get That Aussie Guy up here.

I made fluffy w amblers breathe fire once.

I one time accidentally let out the clowns while irrigating a farm.

By accidentally I mean too soon.

I once carved fortifications in the candy and set up a shooting range , have the adolescent ones around the fort swimming lessons in a magma lake heated pool , also hold war tribunals for all the captured goblins and kobolds

project fuck the world was pretty bizarre at the time.

[Deepblade]

People have cast huge statues and towers out of obsidian, emptied an ocean to drown whales, turn the ocean into obsidian, settled into parts of the world that mortals were never meant to be, built a fort on a necromancer tower. But, perhaps the weirdest thing people do with DF is have absurd amounts of fun.

Drowning pigs, raising them from the dead, then slaughtering the undead pigs for enhanced bacon yields.

So glad that GirlInHat's thread included a link to the sea serpent farming, which was exactly what I thought of when I saw this.

In my most successful fortress, CrestedWhips, circa 41d, I got fed up with overpopulation dragging my FPS down.
I realised that mothers caught in a current dropped their babies soooo...
Yes, I had a baby-drowning machine.
It worked very well, thankyouverymuch.

I helped with a project back in 40d to drain the ocean

Now that takes some doing.  You basically have to build drainage platforms right on top of the ocean.  An above-ground pantry and dining room also helps (you'll have plenty of muddy tiles, so you might as well farm out there)

Personally I've been considering building another on-the-ocean fort connected by just a bridge to the rest of the world.  Could be fun.  I love floating cities, I blame the Neverending Story.

We agreed never to talk about that again.
