Masterful kitten roast, made from masterfully minced kitten meat, sauteed in masterfully minced mushrooms in masterfully brewed ale, slathered in masterfully minced goat cheese, stuffed in a prepared kitten intestine.

Served with ale.

Excellent!

How far away was the necro's tower? I must know! The future of my necropolis megaproject demands it!

I had to. (Thumbdrive I carry around)

Without it turned on, it corrupts by taking too long to save. 

So, armok's will be done. Whipsack is sacked. (And the whole world with it!)


I'm used to this actually. I've lost several attempted megaprojects this way.  Perhaps someday I will be able to finish one!

(Though, most of my "normal" forts could be considered mega projects, judging by the sizes of fort I frequently see posted. I have a high end cad workstation at work, and an i7 at home, so I always embark with a huge embark, and make a really big fort. This one would have completely covered a max size embark.)

So, if I were to destroy the door in the doorway, and resize the room so that the room's floor stuck out into the doorway, then rebuilt the door, it would register?

I have a mayor who has managed to remain elected for 3 terms now. I think he's the dwarf version of senato kennedy...

Regardless, he popped off a demand for an electrum door on his office.  I built him one. He does not acknowledge that it has been built.

How do I get him to accept that his demand has in fact been satisfied before he goes apeshit?

I too set it very young. It makes for more and better embark points, because civ creation/expansion at world gen will pick "ideally suited" ones for other civs as they expand.

What I think would be neat, is if toady gets bridges going properly at worldgen in the next release, would be for an "island chain" worldmap, where the civs are still connected by trade routes, but still sufficiently isolated to be safe from evil sieges.

Such a world would be safe to gen for extended periods.

The obvious application is for a fully automated "URIST" (Universal Remote Infrastructure State Toggler).  Rather than having "mcNoble" pull levers all the time, you can simply set him an impossible task within his luxurious crystal glass palace adorned in slade and candy instead! He will keep trying until he exhausts himself, take a nap, then start all over again.

Do you want drawbridges and floodgates to rapidly open and close in your ultradwarfy walk of doom, such that it is deadly even to you own dwarves? Beekeeper McNoble to the rescue!

Do you want a pseudo random firing sequence for your high powered orbital water/magma cannon battery, that *wont* eat nearly as much fps as a fluid logic controller, but still keep the automation? Beekeeper McNoble is your dwarf!

Do you simply want to automate a "safe" atom smasher? (Alternatively, an automated drawbridge catapult?) Beekeeper McNoble rides again!

Simply keep Beekeeper McNoble busy so he won't make any friends, and won't cause a tantrum spiral when he meets an unfortunate accident for demanding a slade bed in his room? Beekee...wait.... that's not right..... (imaginary hives inc does not encourage nor condone the political assasination of any dwarven nobility. This message brought to you by BeekeeperREPEATER. The mechanical logic source that doesn't eat your fps like it was a plump helmet.)
