Needle fortress.

The idea is simple. 1x1 fort, max possible Z levels.

Who's in?

1x1 in embark tiles or in ground tiles?  Where would we even put workshops?

Sadly, the head doctor MoonstoneFlower became depressed.  I am not sure if she will be able to recover.

Embark Tiles, meaning 48x48x~200 ground tiles.

Are you going to find a volcano featuring extreme cliffs as embark area?

Extreme cliffs are fun, but a volcano would take up the entire fort. I've tried it once, though.

1x1 tile fort is still a huge area to work with and not really a challenge at all. what about 12x12 tiles?

Here at Bay12 we excel at Theoretical Biology. Need to know the value of Merbone? Check. Need to know the density of a thrown Fluffy Wambler? Check. Need to know how a walking Mushroom can theoretically talk? Check.

Perhaps we could run a crowdfunding project and lease NASA's computing power for that.

I messed with some world settings to get a taller fort.

I didn't know a 10 z level aquifer was possible.

Pump stack aquifer breaching can do it, granted you have brought enough materials for mechanisms, screw pumps and walling materials for non-stone layers.
