I've recently found a really interesting piece of landscape, a junction of 3 rivers, one of them major, and 2 form waterfalls into the third as it winds around a cliff, creating an extremely interesting, nearly isolated plateau.



Yes, it should be framed, I know.

It was clear that there needed to be some sort of structure built here, and since I've already built structures of nickel and cobaltite (2 of my more preferred building materials), I decided to move onto brass blocks. Yes making the bars into blocks is an unneeded step, but I felt it deserved the extra attention. It's still a work in progress, need to find more bauxite for sapphire deposits, and finish the last 10 brass z-levels, but here it is.

Try building a giant blue spire? 

I like the interpretations.

[Retro]

This is a really pretty site. Make the best of it!

[cbpye]

Seed?  I like the look of that.

[ChickenLips]

I was just thinking that myself.

[LordZorintrhox]

Make a dam, obviously.  Dig diversion tunnels for the waterfall rivers upstream from their respective waterfalls and move the rivers into them using a cavern collapse of the river bed.  Then carve out a basin and a damn face from the waterfall cliffs, and build hydro-mechanical plants.  Close off the diversion tunnels (with floodgates in caste something goes wrong) and have an awesome site.

Bonus if you make the dam face an actual face, a giant bust of a Dwarf or something.

Build the most interesting structure in the world, a 2000Z adamantine spire, on the most interesting emabark in the world, for Morul, the most interesting Dwarf in the world. Also, SEEDSEEDSEED!

Here it is, generated on 31.08. The specific location is on the river circled below, a junction of 3 rivers making nearly a perfect plus from what I remember on the embark site location.

[Itnetlolor]

Looks quite similar to my Carippo Research Station embark site. But better. Looks fun.

[dragonshardz]

A more detailed view of the embark location:


For some reason PnrtScrn didn't pick up the X's...

[Patchy]

It does look like a really nice site. The rivers would probably kill my poor comp though.

[dragonshardz]

It is a nice site. FYI, the aquifer is only along the rightmost 1x4 area of the embark site. The rest of it is good, clean earth straight down. Silty clay, then a layer of peat, then good, solid rock.

[rat_pack40]

embarked, enjoyed the view of the massive waterfall.

got spammed with an obscene amount of alligator deaths.

my waterfall is now a beautiful shade of red.

thank you!

also, this only dipped my FPS by 2. from 200 to 198.

[Captain Alchatron]

Thanks for this awesome site, I'll be using it!

I'm not sure whether this is a common bug or not, but I've found that embarking on this particular site with an embark profile made my budget about 800 points larger than it usually is.  Has anyone else found this?  It's bizarre, having an extra 7 anvils or so.   

[Dakkan]

I'm not sure if it was this particular world, but I may have increased embark points. It was either this one or the one right before it I played, for some reason felt I needed extra embark points. Probably that desert world.
