Bump.  ;D  I probably won't download it 'cause I don't want to cripple my computer for 24 hours, but I'm anxious to find out what happened exactly.

Almost all the walls on the map are dug out and the resulting floors engraved and suspended on supports.
The lever in question is presumably linked to the bottom support, but after I pulled it and DF locked up for 10 minutes, I got tired of waiting and didn't stick around to see exactly what happened. I assume the whole map turned into a dust cloud, everyone died, and the game threw a million art defacement messages.

The wiki is notoriously inaccurate on subjects at the cutting edge, frequently reflecting passing memes, folklore, or the word on the street instead of true dwarven science.

So in other words, just a normal day in DF.

Oh, no, it lacked magma flooding. It's only slightly less normal.

I remember seeing this map.
So you dug out, engraved, cleaned hid, and then collapsed >15 z levels of stone?
After the 24 hour long lock up, your engravers probably just hurled themselves off the floating island after watching their life's work be destroyed. Instantly.

I dare someone to build a massive holding tank above the rest of this thing, fill it with water from the river, and THEN pull the lever.
Toady would have to release the source code so that someone could design a version of DF optimized for this single purpose.

Where did you get those Pie Charts from? Did you make them yourself? Is there a Program to do it for you?

Rather than having them directly force you to mine adamantine, I would suggest that they give you strange moods that require adamantine. "Dig out the adamantine or Urist here goes insane and dies" is suitably vicious.

(It occurs to me that you can probably get "Lovecraft" as the random name of your fortress. That's when you know you're screwed.)

Well, he did post this thread, requesting some method of counting stones and stuff. Then it's just a matter of plugging everything into something able to make graphs, like excel.

Microsoft Excel...   :-X

I ended up selecting the stone list and leaving for work as usual.  When I came back, I had the list.  Against my previous claim, it turned out I could navigate through the specific stones list quite well afterwards, making the screenshot-taking a breeze.

Yep!  The secret lies in the many, many clusters of tetrahedrite magnetite I found on the way down.  :D  These things come as large as clusters of microcline or orthoclase, so you can easily get over 1000 units of iron from just one cluster.



EDIT: I'm a faggot.

You're thinking of magnetite, which should have been obvious if I had realized that most of your stone layers were sedimentary before I made my earlier post. Tetrahedrite is an ore of copper.
