DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / The Obisidian Tower of Idotsus
« on: May 24, 2008, 02:12:00 pm »
Recently, I undertook a massive building project. Using 2500 stones and the resources of a local stream and magma tube, I am creating a tower made of obsidian. While the process of filling it with the appropriate materials has not yet begun, its mold is, for all purposes, done.
To construct the mold, I used a vast amount of raw obsidian quarried from beneath the surface, as well as a multitude of pumps to lift magma and water high into the air, supported by the ancillary towers on either side.
Thus far, the only thing inside is the outdoor meeting area and main entrance at the center. When the time comes to fill the cylinder, the entrance will be temporarily capped.
If you want to see the details of my work, I have uploaded a map here.
A few questions remain for myself. Once filled, should the mold be stripped away, or assimilated into the tower? Should I decorate the outside with steel statues? What say you?
