Mapscript image?  Generate a map with its parameters?

Is this "Mapscript" a tool to be used with DF?

Is it possible to increase the number of Z levels above the surface? Currently there are only 15 Z levels above my fortress, and that seems rather limiting when you are going to start a mega project.

Yep.  Change this line in your world_gen.txt:
   [LEVELS_ABOVE_GROUND:15]

Default world gen for 31.x is 100 levels above ground I thought?

Am I right in assuming there's no way to change this without generating a new world?

[Executer]

Yeah, you'll need to gen a new world with the updated settings.  What version are you running atm?

My soldier just died of thirst while laying in my hospital. There's a well in the hospital, the whole thing is designated as hospital/water source, and I have 44 dwarves with the feed patients/prisoners labor activated, a few of whom are idle. What gives?

[kilakan]

no buckets free?

[Cyntrox]

Oh, forgot to mention that: According to the hospital infomation, I have 4 (out of 2, strangely enough) buckets.

Hm, that line is in grey, though. Does that mean anything?

Has anyone ever tried using a catapult/ballista on an unkillable FB, such as a jelly one? I'm curious as to the outcome of that, if the huge damage from an adamantium ballista bolt or a thrown rock could kill them since that may not count as combat and circumvent the combat invunerabillity tag

[Executer]

I've never tried pults or balistas vs FBs, however I can tell you that encasing a FB in obsidian kills it quite effectively.  You then only have to dig out the room again ready for its next use.

There's no token for combat invulnerability. Some megabeasts just don't have any bodyparts that cause death when removed. Siege weapons might have worked with the 40d system but now they cause normal damage, so you'd just be wasting adamantine making bolts. The only way to kill unkillable beasts is to use something like a cave-in, which outright deletes any objects under it.

Damm. I was looking for another, creative way to kill FB's. The only other idea i have would be to use water to flush them into the magma sea or the

Has anyone tried that and had success?
