building above ground.
« on: June 06, 2009, 02:17:12 pm »
Exactly how can my dwarves build things above ground? Do I just have to dig out the entire world and leave the parts I want? Could I stack blocks? I'm having trouble finding anything specific about it on the wiki

so (b)uild, (C)onstructions, and then the thing you want. It's like building a piece of furniture but from raw material.

New question! If I were to remove elves [INTELLIGENT] tag in the raws, would it work?

Hey, dwarf fortress doesn't have the most user friendly interface ATM. Constructions were something I discovered by accident myself.

From Mr. Welch's 1350 things he is not allowed to do in a RPG:
148. There is no Gnomish Deathgrip, and even if there was, it wouldn't involve tongs.
171. My character's dying words are not allowed to be "Hastur, Hastur, Hastur"
218. No matter my alignment, organizing halfling pit fights is a violation.
231. I am not allowed to do anything that would make a Sith Lord cry.
240. Any character with more than three skills specializing in chainsaw is vetoed.

I play adventure mode a ton, but only dabble in fortress mode. I know plenty about adventure, not so much about fortress.
