More above-ground levels. They are empty and dont really slow things down, and its always nice when we are thinking of aboveground building.

More necromancer towers if possible. With siege pathing issues, we may miss on a lot of them anyway. Its not like we cant deal with sieges witg a magma moat or a sealed entrance anyway...

Biome intersection sounds fine and interesting.

Im ok with a water source. Realistically nobody has any reason not to settle near one in a fucking desert. Starting with a water-oriented design where we build along the river instead of randomly, with ports and docks and warehouse along the river could be awesome. Like, rows of multi-level clay buildings filled with tiny back alleys and inner city walls and magma aqueducs could be fucking metal.

Dont really need extra space before the caverns, as we'll probably be using the ground for stone instead of rooms. We can also get a ton of mileage out of clay and sand crafting, because desert y'all.

As you can guess im really in favor of a unified desertic vibe for design and building. Something aboveground and unique, biome-specific, yet intrinsically dwarven. Im thinking City of Brass, with clay and stone claustrophobic buildings, magma pipes and pool everywhere, decorated metal roofs to reflect the sunlight, gem windows monuments...

+1
use dfhack to find places with sand/clay

What about... Cactusson?

 But seriously: Murderflood resurection II : The reboot (Ardendikes IIIv3) is so dumb it must come to be.

My good fellow, it's hardly dumb enough without the extra colon and pretentious capitalisation. 'Murderflood: Resurrection II: The Reboot (Ardentdikes IIIv3)' is a name that just says "Success!"



Desert with a few cacti would be nice to have a little wood, but not masses of it...and deal with those stupid trees the easy way.

[Triaxx2]

Wood? What are we, elveses? We're dwarves man. We make glass blocks and tell everyone they're beds.

This could be slightly problematic for a large engineering project, which I assume is still what MF:R2:TR(AD3v3) will be about?

Meh, saguaros yield 2-3 logs per tree, not exactly the most, so it is somewhat of a minor problem in terms of readily available fuel sources early on. But still not as bad as DF 2012.

Since we're also performing architectural feats on the surface, I'll rather have a shortage of fuel than game crashes due to buggy trees interfering with 2 z-level or higher walls due to overseer negligence in skirting around the bug. Besides, all the more reason to dig down for magma early on I would say.

I could increase the embark points somewhat and give us a head start to bring along lignite/ bituminous coal if we want to go smooth sailing early on. But frankly I would rather spend those on iron ore for steel weapon forging in the first year.

I was thinking of axles and wheels.

True, there's that annoyance.

So are we a fort or a mathematical proof...?
Anyway a few trees here and there, caverns, possible coke and trade will keep us afloat. Fuck forests.

"MF:R2:TR(AD3v3),TL;CNBATW". (Too Long, Could Not Be Arsed To Write)

Fuck forests.

Leave that to the elves.

There is a way to get rid of trees...and make them grow in farmplots...PM me if anyone is intersted

[Triaxx2]

Frankly, as long as we can get to the caves, wood is no issue.

Farm plotting trees is easy. Chop down what you've got, and floor over the world with their bones, except a few plots for them to grow.

I actually had one fort where I embarked, and the wagon was on top of a tree. That was somewhat entertaining.

i mean plant them like plump helmets

[Taupe]

The very definition of trees is that they are not seasonal crops...

can make em grow two+ years if you want.

[crazyabe]

hmmm giant plump helmet wood that sounds useful (and tasty)

could try to mod that in and give an example download tommorrow.
