219 Rose Gold Bars

I uhhh, made a bunch of purple metal, without thinking about what I wanted to do with it. Ideas?

A fabulous pyramid?

Yes. That is exactly what you should make. And make a tomb inside, complete with traps. Then, kill a noble, have him buried there, and seal it up.

At what point did the suggestion of child sacrifice become the more ethical option?

Rose gold = my favourite metal :D You should pave the center of each hallway with a nice rosey carpet.

Construct awe-inspiring temple and cover the floors in rose gold. Get more of it if you have to.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

Does anyone know why my SS has one corner of all the tiles missing?

Dig to hell and construct purple walls and floor in a massive room before the entrance? You'd get the creepiest looking purple grand hallway covered in red blood.

Combine Greep and your ideas. Build your own custom strange construct, and place a bin full of gold coins at the center with pressure plates surrounding it, any of which will trigger a cave-in which reopens the HFS.

Build a noble bedroom out of it. SO MUCH PURPLE.

That's the great thing about this forum. We can derail any discussion into any other topic.
It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.

Because the ramps could go straight up or diagonally up, and it doesn't know which to show so it just chooses one (which happens to be the wrong one).

No, it's showing the ramps the right way. The problem is that it's not doing hidden surface removal properly - it's not drawing the face of the ramp as obscuring the side of the next ramp tile behind it, but the other way around.

Why it's doing so is beyond me...

It's doing the same thing for flat tiles, and it's all the same: the left side of each tile is not properly in the foreground
