glass floors
« on: May 24, 2009, 03:45:30 am »
I don't suppose there's a way to make a see-through floor?  I tried building a clear glass floor, but it's just greenish-blue.  I was hoping to get some see-through floors and put magma/water under it.

Nope. You'll have to play pretend.

I understood nothing, contributed nothing, but still got to win, so good game everybody else.

Well, I was hoping to have a dining hall over glassed-in magma and water.  I don't think not using a floor is an option.  Well, it is, but I don't want to kill the dwarves, at least not yet.

Also, can you pit a titan?

Don't. Try. It. Seriously, if he's tasted dwarf blood, just CAGE him. Otherwise, if he hasn't, tame (modding would be required) him and THEN pit him.

Build a grid in which the lines are constructed floors.  In the gaps, build clear glass bridges.  Then hide the bricks that compose them.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.
Just so I remember

Well, the titan killed one before he got caught, so I guess taming him is out.

I've almost got my project done, and I spent all this time finding the right colored rocks, so I don't think that's gonna happen.  Maybe next time.  I'm making a dining room in the shape of a pixelated Mario, and I wanted to have magma for his hat/shirt and water for his coveralls.  I'll get the blue part with a fountain.  I'm going to try out a floodgate system and try to make a little water park.  I'll probably end up flooding the whole thing, but it'll be fun either way.

Uh, out of morbid curiosity did you make a fountain by tapping source water on a level higher than the fountain and directing it under it? You better install a floodgate in that channel to deal with any unpleasant surprises.

For the pool, I'm going to try to follow this guy's example:  http://mkv25.net/dfma/movie-1360

There will be backup floodgates/doors, just in case the game tries to get weird, or a salmon jams in one of the gates.  That will just be to let some water in, I plan on having it mostly be a closed-loop, with pumps to bring water up and make a big dual waterfall.

I can set up the cage and tie it to mechanisms, but that's not nice and tidy, I'll have an extra cage and mechanism down there.  I've got about a dozen gobbos trapped up, so we're going to have a big-'ol fight soon in the Goombarena.

titan will waste anything until you get about 8 in there.  Then he gets overexerted.
