It's a dwarven space station.  The prize is all yours.

I was going to start working on a giant "natural" cavern, but now I'm not sure there's much of a point.

If people like you didn't make crazy dwarfy projects, I wouldn't have tried one myself. For all its size, mine is really just a standard fortress.

Quantum, that beast is just HUUUUGE!. I feel it puts my best achievements to shame, and I also feel confused as to whether I should keep working on my inspirations or whether I should just marvel at your ultima-project.
Please do keep working on it and keep us updated. You deserve a lot of praise for all the work you have put into that, including the imagination and creativity.

That's a bloody strange definition of normal.

Quantum:  Oh my goodness.  That is amazing!  That's probably going down as one of the crowning achievements in this version, and you're already setting an impressive bar for forts in the next version!  What're the specs on your computer you made that with?  What size is the region?  What FPS do you get?  What macro-ish tools do you use, if any?

Thanks for the praise guys, I appreciate it.

If people like you didn't make crazy dwarfy projects, I wouldn't have tried one myself. For all its size, mine is really just a standard fortress.

Well, all I mean is that it isn't anything like a floating ocean fortress, or a magma pipe tower, or a giant glass - water filled fortress, or a pirate ship, or a space ship, or a gigantic pyramid, or a fortress built into a giant bridge, etc. etc. - it's just a good ol' beefed up castle.

Quantum:  Oh my goodness.  That is amazing!  That's probably going down as one of the crowning achievements in this version, and you're already setting an impressive bar for forts in the next version!  What're the specs on your computer you made that with?  What size is the region?  What FPS do you get?  What macro-ish tools do you use, if any?
I run it mostly on my laptop - 1.83 GHz, 3 GB RAM, and a pretty mediocre video card. The region is 7x7 I think. Average FPS is 8-12, which I didn't even realize was bad until I saw a friend's computer run DF -.-.
I don't use any tools, the only change to the game is in the init file and the graphics. Most parts of the fortress run by themselves now, so it only requires heavy attention to designate constructions, and to unpause whenever something happens. Besides that, a whole lot of waiting.

QuantumSawdust - your fort is ... holy grail of dwarven skills.

PLEASE, post your map on DFMA, so we can look at it in detail.

Wow. I'm going to see if I can copy that spiraling tower thing, if you don't mind.

Certainly feel free to, no need to ask.

Also, the link to my map on DFMA is in my post, let me know though if that doesn't work.
