Designers, don't be afraid to make "dummy" levers. Hook up a lever to a bridge then dismantle the bridge. The lever will still have that extra mechanism to be tricky. I believe hatches are unseen when used as ceiling while underground in Adventurer mode. In a certain fort,

I pulled a lever which opened hatches above and proceeded to drown me.

Even though I was using 'l'ook a lot and consistently switching Z-levels, they didn't show up.

from the half-life dub: freemans mind.
Gordon: well i guess this opens the gate...
*turns valve and sewer starts flooding*
Gordon:NO that was stupid! I'm gonna die!

So how many dungeons are we up to now?

I believe five are completed.

Glazedbrand. default Dwarf Mountainhome.
Youthfulstones, human town.
Hauntevil, goblin fortress.
Boltpelts, human retreat.
Stealswallowed, goblin fortress.
Clashedpalace, Incomplete. Only a golden bridge really, with leftover workshops in the northeast. Nothing to see here, honestly.
Rhymetraded, Complete.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A small Dwarf fortress that dug too deep; leaving their waterworks incomplete and abandoned.

Helmedcombine, Seems complete.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Appears a cult of Dwarves invaded a human town and began to cage them underground. As people went missing, so did the cult; leaving behind unfinished altars and grand waterfalls.

Cruelthieves, Seems incomplete.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Group of Goblins set out to escape from their demon mistress of Hauntevil, however they found themselves largely inexperienced and outsmarted when creatures from a nearby chasm dig into their fortress's basement, slaughtering the weak and young sleeping there.

Hellgate of Suicide, Complete.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Before the fall of the Dwarven civilization, the King mandated the construction of a large fortress to be the future site of the kingdom. Well-defended on all sides from the natural sharp cliffs, it was shaping to become a grand Mountainhome. That was until several miners foolishly opened the pits of hell to the world. It was posthumously named 'Shashinod Moshnun' or Hellgate of Suicide.

Cobracanyon, Complete.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

There is a story about a well-liked noble in the Dwarven kingdom whom made the mistake of disobeying the King. He was sent to the far reaches of the world; forced to construct a massive stronghold in a glacier or be Hammered to death. The noble had a penchant for snakes for their mystery and winding bodies; seeing this as a blueprint for the fortress. However, the noble was never heard from again... and 'Gisektobul' was abandoned.

Mansionsearch, complete.

Recently, an immense tower appeared in the skyline near the human town, Boltpelts. None heard anything of it before nor where it came from. However, rumors say the tower is filled with all kinds of creatures; literally crawling upon one another. In its depths is believed a mausoleum was constructed for dying Dwarves; however no one has been able to make it that far and return.

Honestly, how many dungeons would we have if no one had skipped their turn.

[DracoGriffin]

22ish? Going off the initial post of player list.

[Skid]

Bump?

Is anybody working on a fort right now?

[Grimlocke]

I'll show up. today I'm on a non-DF capable computer and tomorrow I have a race.

No word from him after that. Maybe the sharks got him.

[Sysice]

Has anyone made a mac version for the save?

[Peewee]

You'll probably need to copy over the region folder and raws to a clean copy of 40d or 40d#.

[RAM]

I was thinking of taking a shot at making a fortress here, but I need to know if pressure plates will work for people who play on this, especially with respect to water. Also, will mechanisms, such as water wheels and pumps, work, and will excessive numbers of them cause problems, such as lowering framerates... And are spike traps okay?

[Peewee]

Pressure plates should work, unless the init file has adventure mode traps disabled (?).

Water stuff should work, as

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

one or two of the other forts had flooding traps.

Spike traps... I don't know if they would work or not (don't remember any conversations about them) but I think I might enjoy dodging them.

[RAM]

Well, I may as well give it a shot, worst-case scenario is I give up and nothing happens, and it seems pretty quiet atm...

[King_of_the_weasels]

I'm totally for this, sign me up, also I haven't checked if any one has mentioned this yet *there's 40 pages after all* but you can turn traps on for adventure mode in the intel or whatever notebook.

[RAM]

I have a bit of an industry set up and it seems that someone left an adamantine reaction in there, I will need to work on the dungeon now. Would it cause any problems if I modded camels to size 20 and made big stacks of bone bolts? Meh I will leave their size and just give them [liTTERSIZE:20:20] and remove [CHILD]. It shouldn't cause too many problems unless they start overpopulating the world...

[Jervous]

Don't remove child, but put the year beside child to 0. I think that'll work.

[RAM]

What is wrong with removing child? I kind of already did it...
