Those fungi etc grow there because the ground is soil. Once you discover the caverns plants will start randomly plopping up on underground soil layers. You can use this to your advantage by digging out a large area in soil and using this for an underground forest, if you feel that it is too dangerous to venture outside to chop down trees (due to animals, goblin ambushes etc). If you dont want them in your fort (they will probably be trampled, but if they grow up they can block stuff for your dwarves) build floors everywhere on the soil.

Wow that sounds super useful. After I complete my colossus pit for goblin disposal I'll set to work on that.

That just gave me the idea of building a giant underground dome with soil collapsed from the top. Plants and underground fungi trees will grow. In here dump war animals and regular animals. Then have the main entrance go trough it slightly elevated, and when sieges happen, drop the siegers into your "jungle".  It's Jurassic park all over again!

Suggestion for your next world:

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:WHATHASSCIENCEDONE]
[NAME:Annihilate Any Object]
[BUILDING:<insert building here>:NONE]
[REAGENT:A:1:NONE:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[SKILL:<insert skill here;  I like ALCHEMY, but you need to enable it for your entity>]
It works beautifully, but you need to be very careful with it.

I just let the refuse sit around. It doesn't rot and produce miasma, so no harm done.

[Demonic Spoon]

The harm is to your fps.

No need to collapse soil, you can muddy the ground sufficiently by flooding it with water. I'm sure you'll want water features in your jungle anyway so just make the drain hole pluggable (or don't dig it out right away) and fill 'er up.

Also, you want the grass in there for the sake of awesome.

I don't think underground plants and trees would grow, though: because it was exposed to the outside it would be considered 'above ground' even if you built over the top.

If you don't want to build a huge magma-safe pump stack, just dig a shaft down to the magma sea and designate it as a dumping pit.

Vermin remains do not rot currently, but you can use a reaction for your smelter to automatically turn vermin remains into coke. Its a very useful reaction, fuels your forges and smelters while also cleaning up your stockpiles.

well with my fort atleast I haven't had any tower caps or fungi wood grow though the grass.

Also whaaaaaa ? I can turn the remains into coke.. would this require modding ?

[slink]

Yes, but someone's already done it for you so you don't have to work it out yourself.

I downloaded the Crematorium Workshop (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=54058.0), built the workshop, set a dwarf to full-time furnace operation, and now I don't have to think about the vermin.  Pretty easy

It does require you to generate a new world, though.

You can overwrite existing reactions in the save file and have it work.
