I've downloaded the save and am waiting to see the full scale of the trainwreck.

Or in other words: shy from the sky. No answer lies there. It cannot care, especially for what it no longer knows. Treat that place as a thing unto itself, independent of all else, and confront it on those terms. You alone must find the way. No one else can help you. Every way is different. And if you do lose yourself at least take solace in the absolute certainty that you will perish.

After about a half-hour of work, my thoughts. (1) Apparently no-one besides me makes use of the hide button. It makes the fortress much nicer to look at. (2) How am I supposed to turn off the magma in the obsidian-making room? The magma seems to be connected to the Burn-The-World project (How does this work and why do we have it?) and I'm not sure where the magma for that comes from. (3) Why is the food stockpile so far away from the main dining room? On that subject, why is almost everything important on Z-level 147? However, we have impenetrable defences and plenty of resourses, so there shouldn't be too many problems.

Hey can I get on the next open spot, on the 22nd?

Tarq, the answer to your third question can be found here and here.  Indirectly that answers your first question, too; things have just been dicey for so much of the time there haven't been many beautification projects, even basic stuff like using hide.

I don't know anything about any levers though.

I accidently punched through to the lower rooms with a cave in, allowing the magma to leak out, the water was simply to stop the flow of magma.

P.S. I suggest linking a lever to one of the gear assemblies of the fuck the world device, allowing the magma pipe to refill.

Ah, I was wondering how the magma was flooding the world until I saw that you messed it up.

OH GAWD

At least the magma won't reach inside the fortress. That doesn't look like that much magma in the caravan road, plus it leads to the lake. Probably nothing to worry about IF THE MAGMA IS TURNED OFF NOW.

The magma flooding the world was intentional crash.

Oh man. I wasn't planning on that kind of magma defense when I made the entrance.
Looks like we'll need to do some remodeling once the magma clears out.

I guess making the entry bridge higher, then walling up all the fortifications on the lowest level would be good.
Making the walls one level higher on the fortress side would also be one honkin great idea.

Ominous silence.

It must mean that.... THE STATUE HAS COME ALIVE!
And it's using the magma defense system as an unholy Ghostbuster gun!

Unfortunately, I lost a few hours of work thanks to a computer crash. I still should be able to get quite a bit done but not as much as a wanted. So far I have: (1) A lever to shut off the magma aquedect. (2) A new, larger dining room capable of seating 60 dwarves that should be royal once engraved. (3) A workshop district located near the centre of the fortress, currently holding 14 mason's workshops, 2 mechanic's workshops, and 4 craftdwarf's workshops. (4) A new 12x12 food stockpile located next to the new dining room. (5) A bedroom complex that will have 26 3x3 engraved bedrooms, located above the workshops. Unfortunately that means that the dwarves will complain of noise, but the rooms should be nice enough to offset that.
EDIT: FPS is currently hovering between 40 and 50.
