Next version, we will finally be able to make 200 story pyramids.

Next version, we will finally be able to make 200 story pyramids.

You're going to need a HUGE base for that, or make the pyramid really steep.

[sneakey pete]

You'd need a 400 tile base, which is quite possible with a 4*4 embark. The current problem is that we're limited to 15z levels above the tallest point, meaning that unless you have some random abombination of a cliff that is 150z levels tall, your limited in height. New version we're able to set the height above and below that we want to go, no limits.

The see-through walls there, are those windows or just glass block walls?

[ThaMuzz]

Clear glass windows.

I wish glass blocks were clear, I would have done the entire third section in clear glass blocks, and the storehouses would be far more impressive.

Work on Towerscrape continues.

Progress is a lot slower when you're working with green glass compared to working with stone blocks.

An inside shot of one of the completed green glass floors.  You can see just how massive each floor really is.  Not one is hollow!

I spoil my Dwarves.  On top of each Dwarf having all of the amenities (table, chair, bed, cabinet, chest), every Dwarf gets his or her own coffin in the catacombs.  The big room is the pet cemetery, the eight rooms with statues are for the 7 founders plus my legendary Glassmaker.  The floors are all Gypsum.

That's one mighty tower in progress... very nice! :o

1. You spoil your Dorfs too much.
2. Tax collector arrives.
3. 95% of your Dorfs are homeless.
4. ??
5. PROFIT

I made a fractal pyramid for the pyramid of power challenge...and thanks to this app, I could visualize display it effectively.It's all finished (well, there are a few missing ramps here and there down at the bottom).  Here are some lovely 3d pictures. Was easier to build than I expected.  It's 32 zlevels high, 75 tiles square at the base, and contains more blocks than I care to count

Wow, that seriously rocks!

[Draco18s]

Wow, that seriously rocks!

Seconded.

[QuakeIV]

Yeah, doesent get much cooler then that, and the visualiser made it look so good with the way it does ramps.

[atomfullerene]

This visualizer did the best with ramps, although it still breaks down a bit on the smallest holes.  The tower really was easy to make, I did the whole thing in less than three days, not even playing constantly.

[Dorten]

Fractals FTW!

[SkyRender]

Hard to top a fractal pyramid (in more than one sense), but I can at least show how Towerscrape's going.

Yep, things move far more slowly when you're working with green glass.  You can see my usual floor construction technique here pretty clearly, though: roofs for rooms below first, then stockpile roofs, then hallway roofs, then walls, with windows and doors somewhere in the mix when I think to add them.  The current floor's obviously in progress.


The catacombs continue to grow as Towerscrape's population burgeons.  I also decided to give all Legendaries their own personal tomb, just 'cause I'm a nice guy.


A look into the incoming king's future living area.  It'd look far more impressive if chests, cabinets, etc. were rendered.
