"What the hell is Shuri doing?"

Today, a screenshot.



Feel free to try and figure out what sort of evil plan I'm brewing.

 Yer digging out the entire map for the Scour the Earth thread!

 Brace yerself for my entry when I finish it. I finally got masses of picks, so things should go more quickly now.

Got any unique designs for the end result when it collapses?

I can't figure out your tileset, so I have no idea what you're doing.

There appears to be vast stockpiles of stone blocks, that much I can figure out; up in the upper left there's something that looks like a wood stockpile, but I can't figure out what's in the stockpile directly below that one.

The yellow-brown land in the middle, I think that's a desert, but I haven't a clue what the white squares on the sides are.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

I can see masses of stone blocks, and the sotckpile the farthest up on the far left row contains barrels for food or booze.

I also see loads of bins, presumably for crafts or such.

I have no idea what those stockpiles on the right are, ammo?

Whatever it is, it'll involve copious amounts of magma.

Are you trying to collapse the world?
I wanted to try that someday, but on the smallest map possible.

Turning all of the stone on the map into blocks and storing them into bins, thereby compacting the entire area into 5% its size?

Judging from the "river" that's been carved out, I'm guessing that you're recreating a 2D style map :)

Looking at it again though, those look like they might just be the scars of channels that had been mined from above to drain the pools before the map was cleared down to the same level as the bottom of the pools. It's hard to tell.

Not sure what the blocks are for though... building up a proper cliff face? Or just something to do with the stone after carving down an entire mountain?

I also see loads of bins, presumably for crafts or such.

I have no idea what those stockpiles on the right are, ammo?

I think those are metal bars, which would explain why they're mixed in with blocks: it's a bar/block stockpile by default.

Which means that all those bins are likely to be blocks also. :o

There appears to be vast stockpiles of stone blocks, that much I can figure out; up in the upper left there's something that looks like a wood stockpile, but I can't figure out what's in the stockpile directly below that one.

The yellow-brown land in the middle, I think that's a desert, but I haven't a clue what the white squares on the sides are.

If you're talking about the leftwards upper-left stockpile, I think those are barrels; most likely food and booze. The one below that is probably bags. If this is a desert, I would guess that they're filled with sand.

I thought the white tiles on the side looked like unmined stone tiles, but there are objects (such as beds and dwarves) that are "embedded" in it. Maybe smoothed stone floors?

So yeah, I've enlarged that picture so I could get a better look. Seems like you're doing the earthquake machine dealio. Channel as close to the edge of the map as possible down as far as possible and just make a GIANT hole in the ground. I say afterward you fill it with water for the most awesome pool EVER!

Hmmmm, the astronomic amount of stone blocks, as well as the all-smooth z-level makes me believe you have removed all the stone and earth from this z-level and any above it, creating a completely flat map. The moat around the edges and the river path across the middle have me confused, though. Perhaps you plan to recreate the map with inverted heights?
