I love making mega projects, but I'm always frustrated by how long they take to make (especially since my FPS goes to crap after I get 100+ dwarves trying to build stuff.)

I've looked through some mods, but I haven't found one that makes making mega projects easier. Are there any mods that allow me to design fortresses without having to use dwarves? Or give the player infinite resources / fast mining / building skills for quick fortress design? I want to really design a number of labyrinths for adventure mode.

set the raw speed to 1 it make the game seem faster.
,and just take the brackets off any reactions you care to use

i.e.

[REACTION:BITUMINOUS_COAL_TO_COKE]
[NAME:make coke from bituminous coal]
[SMELTER]
REAGENT:1:STONE:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:COAL_BITUMINOUS
[PRODUCT:100:3:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:COAL:COKE]
FUEL

that will make free coke

ah, I see

Thanks.

Yeah, just remove all the reagent and fuel tags from the reaction_standard.txt file, and you can "smelt" stuff for free, no fuel needed. However, [SPEED:1] is not the fastest, [SPEED:0] is.

The block building interface is ridiculously slow, and waiting for your dwarves to place the blocks takes hours. I would not recommend that route.

Instead, dig out the labyrinth in the ground using dwarves that do not eat, think, drink, sleep, or feel pain.

You want to disable sieges in the init.

---Bonus:

Since this is for adventure mode, you might want creatures to spawn in the labyrinth.

If you want creatures to be spawned in your ladyrinth, you can embark over a chasm or bottomless pit. If the dug-out area is linked to these, the monsters should spill out into the rest of the labyrinth. Letting monsters kill dwarves and acquire names helps, as does modding labyrinth monsters to appear in larger numbers, in greater sizes or varieties.
