Say... No corridors?  Since the dwarves can use each other's rooms as corridors allows you to simply use a honeycomb like structure.  Even a 3D block of stacked rooms works very nicely. 

Plus the average distance each dwarf takes to get out of the bedroom block is the shortest path to the edge of the block. 

There would be no corridors but there is also a limit to how far down you can go. It might also get very very clogged in those stairways due to everyone trying to go up and down them at the same time (as you know, dwarfs work in shifts).

Ok, I admit I was an asshole just then. I'm sorry for that. What were you meaning by "who isn't a fucking matrix person"? I don't believe I quite get it.

Read the caption and look at the character in context of what I said.  :P

I know, I'm just referring to where the origins of the picture come from.

Wow, a cheater that doesn't even cheat on his own. He asks pathetically for others to make cheats for him. I'll stop now.

I cut down all the trees within a 40x40 area of where I plan to begin the entrance. I dig out the first floor, which is food/booze/wooden furniture production. Usually I put my temporary meeting hall and all of the cheap rooms up there too. I go down a few more levels. Dig out a very large area for trade good/weapon & armor/stone furniture etc. production. Then I do some exploratory mining looking for gems and leveling the miners. Meanwhile, everyone else is:
Moving stuff
Making food
Making trinkets to trade for cheap food/anvil/other stuff in first caravan.
Making furniture to furnish everything.

Yes, and then we must run airplanes into them to complete the dwarfish touch.

We need to figure out a way to mod in cross-breeding.

20 minutes ago I started a new fortress, I found DF about 2 weeks ago so I'm fairly new.  It took me about 15 minutes to set everything up right for the embark because I was following a build from a guide and had to use reference. The area had a river, tons of lakes and a surfaced magma pipe right next to a beautiful dig site.

Right after letting the game play from designating a dig and some stock piles I find that one of my dogs was killed by a carp in the river 3 tiles away from my starting point.  30 seconds later my only miner (who was moving food because I forgot to change pref) was attacked and killed by an alligator who was moving in for my wood cutter.

I wished I played everything through, but this has got to be the quickest game I've ever seen.
Set up a hermit-able fort as quick as you can and sacrifice everyone else to the watery devils. Lock yourself in. Now you have a fort where everyone who comes near dies.

Start an adventurer. Hunt down and kill every last dragon on a large map. With your bare hands. That'll give your laptop something to do.

Increase Dragon frequency to 100+ in the data files. Start a fortress. Capture as many as you can. Breed them. Repeat for many many game years. Release the hordes upon hordes of baby and adult dragons. Hunt down and kill every last one of them. With your bare hands. That'll give your laptop something to do.

Bonus: Do the same thing with elephants, hippos, eagles, etc., all on different forts in the same world and release everything. Hunt down every last nightmare and kill them. With your bare hands.

No, no, not at all. You know those 150+ dwarves on your screen there? The little ones scurrying around? They have "All your FPS are belong to us!" spewing out their mouthes constantly. Let them die. Less FPS suckers means faster game. Faster=better.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Hyndis has been possessed!

This is an Obsidian covered Fortress made by "Hyndis" McForumite. All Craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is dug into rock and is decorated with molds of obsidian. It menaces with spikes of ingenuity and dwarvern engineering.
Engraved on the Fortress is a picture of cheese.
Engraved on the Fortress is a picture of Urist McWorker being burned alive. The picture relates to the magma flood of 203.
Engraved on the Fortress is the Forumite, Hyndis, and the Law, Physics. Physics is in a fetal postion. Hyndis is laughing.

How would that design be space efficient?

Beds don't have springs, matresses do. So you are giving your dwarves metal matresses. All the fun in this game is in the challenges. If you have a problem, figuring out yourself in the game is a lot more fun than typing some stuff in all caps in the files then genning a new world. Sorry about the rant but this is one of the few games I don't understand why someone would want to make this game easier for no reason.

I bet that siege is going to be hard, even for Morul. Aren't you making his suite like that one thing in the X-men movies? A big Sphere except yours is encased in magma. Sorry for so many questions hear, I guess I should just ask them in your thread.
