So that's portal songs turned Dworfy, what else? I don't remember any other Valve games with lyrical music, so we will need to find something else...

You have acquired the Dwarven Science Handheld Magma Device.
With it, you can create your own magma.
This supermagical liquid has been proven completely safe.
The device, however, has not.
Do not look directly at the operational end of the device.
Do not touch the operational end of the device.
Do not submerge the device in liquid, even partially.
Most importantly, under no circumstances should you ---



Please place the Masterpiece Iron Bin on the Heavy Duty Dwarven Science 1500-megaUrist Supercolliding Superpressureplate.



Good news.
I remembered what that thing you just incinerated did.
It was a Morality Core they installed into me after I flooded the fortress with super-hot magma, to stop me flooding the fortress with super-hot magma. So get comfortable while I unlock the floodgates. [50000 frame timer starts]

Lighthouse. GLASS Lighthouse. Sitting right on top of a cliff above the crashing ocean waves.

I'm after a large ruby to act as a refracting lens-style light at the top, seeing as I can't get a continuous flame.

You should make a gem window with different gems so it flashes colors.

I wanted to create a almost completely underground fortress. My plan was to seal off my original 7 dorfs and give them a decadent underground fortress while any migrants would be restricted to the above world, a terrifying marsh. The original 7 tunneled under a aquafir-less ocean and into a cavern layer while the topsiders aren't allowed to mine.

the topsiders ended up strangling kobold thieves to arm themselves against skeletal elephants and warthogs while those below carved out a luxurious home under the sea.

then it crashed on the military screen and I gave up.

It would have worked with the new burrow system, and I'm going to give it another shot once a few more bugs are fixed. Hopefully I'll work out a tribute system for the topsiders and reward them with the occasional trinket.

Not sure if I would let legendary topsiders live in the caverns below, but probably not.

You should have your starting seven live in the third cavern layer, with it walled off at the edges. The first two migrant waves can have the first two layers, then the rest have to live in another fortress/outside with no access. Leave shafts open so the ones up top can drop valuables down to the starter's cavern.

I tend to do fortresses with the Rule: No dwarf underground

recently. Its a handicap, yes. I usually dig a gigantic, growing hole (Designate channels like this)

1st layer:_____________________________
2end layer:__________________________
3rd layer:...._______________________
4th layer.......____________________

and so on, making a nice gigantic hole while building houses and therelike above it. Its challanging and fun.
