Someone, dwarf face, drooling magma, and crying, NOW!

[Aspgren]

You do it I'm busy not doing it.

[Lagren]

Woah, that's awesome. Also massive, what's your population?

94 Dwarves at the moment, but less when the hall was dug out. I'm working on training up more miners so that channeling out all five floors below it won't make me go insane.

A couple more shots of my fort, other than the megaproject:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Outside of my fortress, on the roof. You can also see the walled statue garden I use to prevent cave adaptation here.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The same area, one level down. You can see the Marksdwarf training room on the second floor, and a magma flood trap under construction.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The same area, once again another level down. The yellow blocks here are catapults and ballistae. You can see the siege operator training room, as well as the actual defensive position.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

My noble's quarters, right next to the Legendary Dining Room. Each noble gets a 4x4 complex of rooms, with furnishings. It doesn't keep them from complaining, though.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The worker's quarters. Each dwarf gets a room with a bed. There's a total of five floors like this so far.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The main shop floor of the fortress. You can see the original main gate of the fortress here, as well as the workers' dining room and the soldiers' barracks. The edge of my stockpile room is visible in the lower corner.

Here's the fortress well, allowing it to continue to access the river during sieges. The room across the river is the top end of the plumbing that will eventually send water down the columns in the dining room.

Damned cats, it started with one

OMG that reminds me of White Mountains (the book)

CAT DOOOME!

(Seriously, though, that's pretty awesome.)

[Itnetlolor]

Ah cats, the Tribbles of Dwarf Fortress.

BTW, I'll post an airship update once I get my props in place, and if possible, provide an animating gif of it.

EDIT:
I hope nobody minds if I mod the mechanics files to make it look right. Okay?

If nobody minds, I'll see if I can upload them as well. Of course, they'll be wooden props (aiming for either a 3-point or 5-point prop) and an assortment of options.

Examples:
1) Both waterwheels and windmills are converted into propellers. (What I'll be using)
2) Only windmills will be converted into propellers.
3) Only waterwheels will be converted into propellers.

That looks like a volcano erupting cats. I applaud you good sir.

I have one major problem with Stonesense. It makes everything look far too light and airy and happy for dwarf fortress. Armok would be ashamed

Stonesense is awesome. But, I agree. It needs blood smears and blood pools and corpses. And dismembered limbs. And dwarf chunks.

Hehehe We're working on it

Haha, when you mention it like that, it almost makes me regret the plan to let magma or water (undecided) erupt from the top. I guess the burning/drowning will be worth it though.

The burning, it is always worth it.

Have lave constantly flowing over it, covering it. Who wouldn't want to be a a room watching lava?

[Solifuge]

It'd be like an inverse lava lamp, where you watched from the saftey of the inside.

Also, who here wants semi- transparent glass? I've got a few ideas brewing to make it happen, and am trying to decide how to start off my next tile update.

I do! I originally thought the dome would be transparent, so i would love if it was possible!

Yeah! That was the original plan, Magma flowing from the top downwards, then at the bottom there would be floor grates to catch the magma. I also wanted water to flow from the back(right) kind of to the front(left), caught by grates, and starting at the back again. But water flows away form the edges, so that wouldn't work. I'm now considering to either turn it around, aka water flowing from the top, and magmawaves of doom, but it just doesn't seem the same.

So I'm thinking of just doing all magma, although the thought came into my mind to make a second smaller dome inside the dome, and to fill the between space with water. But then you cant enjoy the magma flowing from the outside. so I would have to make a third dome so you can walk in the middle, on the left being green glass walls of magma, and on the right being green glass walls of water. Oh god, I was hoping that if I went on a 1x1 map i wouldn't have much room for craziness. I must do this!
