My bad about the episodes. -shrugs- I've been a little off track lately and Dwarf Fortress and my car has been keeping me sane. (Yes dwarf fort is assisting in keeping me sane.)

But yeah, I would like to make the gungan-like city just cause I think it'd be kinda cool. I'll have to think about it more and see some more ideas of megafortresses.

Wait, the droid foundry?  Might be good project in itself.  Of course, there would need to be a complex series of screwpumps to send molten metal and magma everywhere.

Um I think Gungans are Jar-Jar's people, with the bubble cities.

Unfortunately, DF does not have nearly enough mechanical devices (see: making things actually move) to replicate anything near what the droid foundary is like.

You could use pressurized water to move things but it would probably kill your FPS and would have to be highly regulated to prevent disasters.

Yeah, the droid factory would be near impossible, but the gungan city would be fairly... easy to replicate.

It was either under a giant ocean area (I keep getting shallow oceans almost like Florida coast) or on that spire to be  made to look some what like a tree.

My current fort is using a lot of circles for everything and it looks cool, putting them into spheres is a tad bit harder seeing as I can't figure out whether or not my current set up is water sealed or not.

I was building a giant pyramid, but it was like a Mayan pyramid (a lot more flat... only 15 z levels.) but I would've preferred a many z-level pyramid.

I've been thinking about using mass water, doesn't seem to affect the FPS too badly. Only draining the ocean.

Play Morrowind and check out some of the Telvanni towers. Then build those (as best you can) in DF.

As far as I can tell, any fluid that isn't 1 or 7 is taking up simulation.  Using water to move things would definitely use CPU to simulate but an elegant system would be awesome.

That just gave me an idea to use rivers (artificial) with grates at various locations to move your products around.  I'll have to investigate how this would work more and implement it in my mega project.
