certain programs exist, but the closest I remember off the top of my head is
the DF heightmap importer

Why are we trying so hard to build a system of blocks based on ships?

We should make ships, then, if necessary!, cast them into blocks by measuring wether or not the block is within the ship.
honestly some minimally better graphics would work much better though.

Collisions would be handled via sides of the boat and nearby squares, turning would be very slow, and cause less than 1 block  of movement at both ends.

Raccoonman merchants to open the doors, orc snipers to catch the runaways, and orc wrestlers to tear the rest limb from limb.

I swear, I'm thinking of making these things weaker so I have a chance when they outnumber me 3 to 1, but then that would remove the challenge of it.

So, any ideas on how to more quickly clean up after the siege ends, assuming I'm still alive?  I'm sick of sitting here for 10 minutes micromanaging because everyone's too busy picking up orcish iron to do anything else.

lava trap?

you could drop a mountain on the stuff, but that still might not throw off your dwarves.
you could outright forbid the stuff

note that the more dwarves you specialize the less menial tasks will get done.

with seperate files, it allows much ineritance

though I suppose mappings are worth the extra work(copying a page of typing, vs 3 layers of digging)
also, that makes the form of creation run sort of like this?:
player types "forge iron hammer"
the parser daemon calls


canforge(int mat, weapon s){
if(s.chkvalidmaterial(mat)) then
{return true;}
else {return false;}
}
and the weapon will take form;

int material
int reqsharp = 3

create(int mat){
material=mat;
set power = materialmap[1][power];
}
chkvalidmaterial(int mat){
if(materialmap[1][sharp]>=mat)then
{return true;}
else {return false;}
}


or I suppose we could just type out makes sword=true it by hand, how many weapons from DF will we use.
also,  inform me on any LPC grammer mistakes.

Because some of us don't have a brain wired for math.

the brain isn't hard wired, its hand built, and easy to change if you know right were to change it(by thinking).

not that school would teach you anything remotely useful like that.

when will you be on?
