Things to Put in a Fortress!
« on: January 04, 2011, 10:03:49 pm »
Oh hey, another list thread. I was inspired by, of all things, a thread on the Minecraft forums to start a big ol' list. A list of what, you ask? Things to put in a fortress, of course! Since Dwarf Fortress has no real goals, players have come up with thousands of insane things to place in their fortress. So we're going to list as many as we can! The list will start off obvious, and slowly devolve into pure Dwarven architectural madness!

*Ahem*

1. Dining room
2. Barracks
3. Bedrooms
4. Drawbridge
5. Forge
6. Waterfall
7. Statue Garden
8. Slaughter House
9. Repeater
10. Zoo

Now you can get to the more interesting ones. ;)

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.

Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

After a long time of fleeing unsuccessfully, she did what any cornered dwarf would do:  she sucker punched her own baby and then kept running.

28. Hermit/ random monster cave.

 Since we all like having a random cyclops living in a dwarf made cave, or a deranged dwarf in a cave with access to all the levers.
