New place. Need ideas.
« on: October 17, 2009, 07:44:40 am »
Well, I've found a spot in the world which I have no idea what to do with.
I'd like ideas on some fun or awesome things with which I could do here. Any and all ideas welcome.

OVERVIEW

CLAYLANDS

WOODLANDS

SAND AND MAGMA

PIT

MOUNTAINTOP

It does have an underground river, and no aquifer. The clay area is littered with obsidian pebbles so there's an easy way of obtaining Obsidian without the possibility of flooding the world with magma. There is a possible funhouse somewhere. Also GCS.
I would post the world gen parameters but I have no idea where to find it. Could someone help.

Lol, you posted that suggestion in my thread too. :P

Anyways, is that a limestone or chalk mountain? You should have enough magnetite to last you at least a 100 years.

Can't find any limestone or chalk anywhere on the mountain. It's mainly snow-covered.

Also in the Z-menu before you start building things, something like 4100 in archetecture usually means a fun-house right?

hmmm...... given that the stocks screen pretty much reveals everything even if you haven't seen it or your dwarves have, no idea. It could just mean that you have some valuable stuff in the walls somewhere.

You'd think addy would boost that architecture much higher, but not having embarked on HFS before, I don't know.

After checking the wiki, yeah I have a funhouse.

I'm gonna have to be careful during exploratory mining.  :-\

EDIT: Damn, Troglodytes. I didn't notice them till they took out a miner and 3 dogs. My woodworker is under attack too, as is my planter. Woodcutter down, planter down. Damn this is fun already.
EDIT2: Also GCS.
EDIT3: Stonecrafter throwing a tantrum.
EDIT4: All dead, abandon. Reclaim.

Surprised nobody noticed you asking this.  Anyway, you can pull the parameters out of Legends mode.

I've heard that if you hit escape to export images, then output a minimum of one layer, you'll get the world gen parameters, along with the image(s).

Build a giant arching tube between the magma pipe and the pit, then have a floating fortress dangling off of the top of the arch. 

Also, definitely post the world gen and a pic of the embark location please!

Fill the bottomless pit with Magma.


See which one dries up/fills up first.

It's called "The Unbridled Tower".

Therefore, build an obsidian tower in the centre of the pit.

That would be as deadly to the wielder as to anyone else!  You'd sever your own arm at the first swing!  It's perfect!

Agreed. Build the tower from the second lowest level to the second highest (I've heard that there may be some issues with rain should you construct things on the highest level.).

Surround the tower with a much thicker wall that only comes up half as high as the tower above-ground, but goes just as far as it does below the ground.

Kill, maim, and torture as many random sentients as you can manage without making a tantrum spiral, both yours and the traders. Then engrave everything. With any luck you should have a lot of images of madness, insanity, and debauchery.

To go that extra mile, designate one of the seven starting dwarves with one of the following adjectives and one of the following nouns.

adjective: Dark, Dread, Grim, Foul, Evil, Diseased, Cruel, Fiendish, Monstrous, Bad, Baneful, Repulsive, Disgusting, Destruction, Wrong, Vicious, Vile, Calamitous, Depraved, Repugnant, Wrathful, Wicked, Corrupt, Damnable, Hideous, Maleficent, Rancorous, Poison, Obscene, Immoral, Villainous, Sinful, Nefarious, Malignant, Loathsome, Harmful, Beastly, Sinister, Venal, Devilish, Diabolic, Dire, Deadly, Injurious, Ruinous, Venomous, Dwarven.

noun: Lord, Master, Warlord, Dictator, Chief, Chieftain, Boss, Judge, Patriarch, Captain, Conqueror, Controller, General, Overlord, Matriarch, Preceptor, Princep, Father, Mother, Destroyer, Oblivion, End, Void, King.
