I notice there is alot of shale(Mudstone) at my base, I've decide to build a 5 by 5 tower as high as possible and see how tall I can get it!

[andrea]

i think it will go as far as the map allow (15 z levels above the highest tile in the map)

[Gondana]

Thats called "Getting someones asperation and ripping the heck out of it"

[andrea]

you can get also 15 z levels more if you make a hole in the ground and build there. it should be nice.

wait! make this tower, from the lowest (underground) z level, link it to the land. then mine all the lowest 3 bottom levels, and build a city there. only way to enter it is the tower!

Fill the tower with water and have flood gates that open when the water level goes down all the way on that level and it opens the next level

[Haedrian]

Ah, building a tower.

Something every single player must do, as a rite of passage.

Let me give you some advice, put mudstone storage near the tower, otherwise it'll take ages.

Also, if you go to the highest tower, and choose an empty area as a "pit", you can try to throw goblins 15 stories to their death.

For added interest, build great silly bridges radiating out from the top of the tower for dozens of tiles on all four cardinal points; then build other bridges radiating off of THOSE. Make them all retractable and forget which levers are which.

1. Build tower ~30 levels, from bottommost level to topmost level.
2. Mine out the bottommost Z-level.
3. New landscape.

For the biggest tower, make a costum world with both the minimum and maximum elevations right next to eachother. with alot of patience and a great tolerance for very low fps you can build a 250+ lvl tower.

I think the world would blow up from the awsomeness of said tower......lets make it outta gold!!!!

[andrea]

lets throw goblins, dwarves and kittens from it.

or lets build a spaceship!

The only real way to make a spaceship would be with LOTS and LOTS of floodgates, and a dwarfputer to calculate its angle.

This idea pleases me, explain how to do it if you would.

then the map will have 250 z levels and it will have max  size (a whole region tile).

(what do you need the dwarfputer for?)

For determining where the rocket will fly of course.
