When you turn on cursor follow mode, the debug cursor will follow the DF cursor when it exists.

-- Occlusion Culling --
There is an experimental feature that hides blocks that are not visible, for a speed increase.
This is a work in progress, and very buggy. It can be turned off with 'o', if something is missing.

This is Pickwonder.

The surface structure is a basalt and alunite pyramid, with a green glass dome. The walls of the pyramid contain all of the housing, with the military in the base. The pyramid is hollow, with the Trade Depot in the center surrounded by Gold and Silver bridges.

Underneath the citadel is another pyramid, this one carved out of the earth with the surrounding ground hollowed out. This is where the work occurs.

There is a large hole in the ground, at the moment, waiting for the construction of a giant iron tower, built from the melted armour and weapons of invaders. I currently have about half of the map excavated.

Eat only meat.

Oh no! Goblins!

I am sitting here waiting for the goblins to walk into my wide-open fortress....but they just sit there at the edge of the map milling about where they showed up. I've released my dwarves to go do outside tasks, even lumberjacking and fishing. What the heck?

The goblins are sieging, and I'm sitting safely behind my walls drinking tea. My legendary miner's child gets hit with an arrow in the guts and dies, sending him into a rage. He breaks down the locked door (one of many, luckily) that is keeping the goblins from the fortress and they flood in and kill him.

I had a windmill that showed powered, and I put an axle directly south of it. It didn't power up.

I had a watermill in a brook, entirely inside the brook. It didn't power.

I'm also curious how to get a pump to work...and can you build pipes?

I think it'd be fun to make a game in which certain kinds of rock were edible to dwarves. I'd like to make certain stones millable and then the milled stone 'flour' cookable. Any suggestions?
