ok so the sidearm is now succesfully deconstructed, 'all' i need to do now is smooth the entire outside of the monolith and dump all the beds and crafts of the current fort to leave empty rooms that the new settlers will find (hopefully full of beasts and such) when they come to carve out their fort within the great block of obsidian

I offer you my AutoHotKey script:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

SetKeyDelay, 12 ;Key delay, to keep Dwarf Fortress from being overwhelmed.
:Set higher if you get weird results, or lower to get the
:script to run faster
SLEEPTIME = 12 ;same thing, only used in the repeated key press loops though

$^+Left:: ProcessEvent("Left","w")
$^+Right:: ProcessEvent("Right","w")
$^+Up:: ProcessEvent("Up","w")
$^+Down:: ProcessEvent("Down","w")

$^!Left:: ProcessEvent("Left","g")
$^!Right:: ProcessEvent("Right","g")
$^!Up:: ProcessEvent("Up","g")
$^!Down:: ProcessEvent("Down","g")

ProcessEvent(direction, type)
{   
if (direction = "Left" or direction = "Right") {
loop 9 {
Send k
Sleep %SLEEPTIME%
}
}
if (direction = "Up" or direction = "Down") {
loop 9 {
Send u
Sleep %SLEEPTIME%
}
}
if (direction = "Right" or direction = "Down") {
loop 5 {
Send {%direction%}
Sleep %SLEEPTIME%
}
}
if (direction = "Left" or direction = "Up") {
loop 4 {
Send {%direction%}
Sleep %SLEEPTIME%
}
}
Send {Enter}
Sleep %SLEEPTIME%
if (type = "w") {
loop 10 {
Send {Enter}
Sleep %SLEEPTIME%
}
}
if (type = "g") {
loop 3 {
Send {Enter}
Sleep %SLEEPTIME%
}
}
Send %type%
Sleep %SLEEPTIME%
if (direction = "Right" or direction = "Down") {
loop 5 {
Send {%direction%}
Sleep %SLEEPTIME%

if (direction = "Left" or direction = "Up") {
loop 6 {

It's primitive, but it will quickly designate 10-tile long bridges using the first available material. 

b->C->w->ctrl-shift-<direction>: Designate ten tile wall going <direction> from the cursor.  Eg, ctrl-shift-up will designate a ten tile wall with the current selection as the south most point.

b->g->ctrl-shift-<direction>: Designate ten tile bridge going <direction> from the cursor.

I used this when building the mold.

That's impressive.  Really, really impressive. 

The only thing that would have been more impressive would have been to build it all the way to the bottom, as well as all the way to the top.   

I've never been on such a small map, either.  It looked very dangerous.

if i wanted it to do the same but instead for rup/down stairs instead of walls - which bit would i modify? i.e to get it to press x instead of w after C
