could someone try making a mod or program that lets you build and edit a fortress instantly without events or dwarves/creatures?

like if you were to predesign fortresses. you could replace a tile with anything even turn it back into the undug state.

so is anyone gonna try anything like this?

It would take a crazy amount of work and people would probably have to write an entirely new, complicated, buggy program. The chances of someone writing it are small. You could try Dwarf Companion, though. I think it has some sort of thing like what you described. I'm not sure, though, because I don't use it.

Dwarf Companion will allow you to create the fortress, but you have to embark at the spot. You can then create the fortress one tile at a time with the game paused when you first start a fortress.

sry i wasnt more specific. it doesnt have to be part of the game. just sort of like a picture to help you predesign a fortress. it just takes the images out of the games files to make it look like an actual fortress.

DF paint utility.

Good for planning.

[inaluct]

Yeah, DF paint. As far as I know, that's basically what you want. You can build out a picture of an entire fort with it.
