If you guys start a skyscrapes 2 maybe you could ramp up the worldgen settings to get more than 100 storys above ground, i know it's possible but ivever managed it myself, except for those bugged spire levels, maybe you could find one of those that's playable and try for a 1000 story tower?

[Graebeard]

Ok.  I must be nuts, but I'm taking a crack at finishing this.

[Kassil]

I was planning to give it a shot; maybe we can compare final results.

[Graebeard]

Absolutely.

There is also the very real possibility that I vastly overestimated the amount of time I can put towards DF right now and that my attempt to cap this will go the way of so many others.

The number of z-levels above ground is capped at 100, so we'd have to find a region with a mountain or something.

COME ON its only 10 z levels
we can do this

I've currently got it up to z-95. My current bottleneck in producing sufficient green glass blocks to keep things rising. Screenshots later tonight, probably.

EDIT: A crash ate all of last night's progress; I have autosave off because it seems to reliably crash the client when it autosaves. Will resume construction from last save shortly.

At 'horrible FPS' and 'Threatens to crash if you look at it wrong', it can be a bit difficult.
You /could/ see for yourself, go for a 'race to the top'.

I would love the challenge, it's only construction which is my favorite part of DF, but this old Pentium 4 is having trouble staying stable enough to keep the desktop running, let alone running DF the way it used to back in 2010 when i first overclocked it (Might have something to do with the instability,heh)

[weq15]

theres nothing more sad then a project that stops on the last bit
I mean only 10 Zs come on we can do this

I've pushed it up to about z-96. I was planning to make the next few levels a water storage tank and to install a dropshaft for troglodyte captives, but didn't make it that far.
