And here I thought that <50FPS would be time consuming and not worth the wait...  ^^

Heh.  Having a large population helps get things done.  I've got over 20 each of glassmakers, masons and miners.

This is the main access floor.  First floor below the soil layer.  Contains the bridges that connect the central column to the outer stairwells.

OMG, dat graveyard!

How many years old is your fort? It seems incredible!

[ThaMuzz]

11 years.  And you've only seen a fraction of the graveyard.

[ThaMuzz]

The rest of the graveyard, pre rendermax

The stockpile south of the temple contains my artifacts.

I abuse the hell out of the planning feature.

My turrets are currently busy being trained.  There will be 15 bullet, 3 slade and 3 web covering the Colosseum.
I do not play fair with my toys.  Also, good source of silk.

Your fort is insane. I think its the best I have seen with the mod, period.

Thanks!
Funnily enough, this would all normally be prep work.  Once the central shaft is fully excavated, work on the megaproject can begin.  Think I am going to use fireplaces/statues outside instead of braziers/candelabras.

Speaking of the central shaft, here is a comparison of the light given off by gold walls and candelbras.  These were taken at night, so that the natural light wouldn't get in the way.
Waiting for day in my fort so I can give some comparisons of lightsources vs. light filtered through glass floors.

One minor thing that hasn't really been visible in the screenshots I've been making has been the effect that clear glass (doors, windows, ceilings) has on light.  Crystal glass does not appear to do the same.  Have not really tested green glass, because seriously, who uses green glass for windows or constructions  .

The stairwell on the left side oft the screen is under 4 layers of glass ceiling.

I've suffered a setback with this fortress.  It keeps crashing near the end of summer.  I am reverting to an earlier save in the hopes that the fortress can be saved.

[Meph]

A repeatable crash at the same time? I did fix all of those that have been reported, but sometimes there is a vanilla crash, when dwarves use a minecart that is in use twice. Any minecarts around? (If no, please upload a save, maybe I can find the source... although I dont have high hopes for FPS on this machine ^^)
