The problem with that is that it doesn't show multiple layers. That's why I wanted a visualizer. I'll post one in a minute.

There we go.



All the dwarves came out for a group shot.

The construction to the far south is the work floor, and the roof over that is complete. To the very north of that is the stockpile tower, and below that is the interim dining hall and permanent underground farm plot. The volcano has a large ramp going straight up, and the roof over the magma forgery is almost complete.

The residential district will be built to the east once I finish carving away that area. I'm also building roads that dwarves can walk on so none end up getting trapped on the mountainside and wander off to an unsafe side of the map. The thieves arrived, and are arriving by the truckload.

LISTEN UP, YOU BASTARDS!

Might as well expect that every time I have an update about the project.

I'm now in my first Winter. The volcano has been sealed up, and now I'm punching holes in it to make forges, furnaces and the like. I'm also figuring out where I want my tower to stand and where the "underground" farm will be. The forge ramp and the current safehouse are in close proximity. I'm right now walling off the safehouse since I retrieved my first caravan. That means I will soon be getting thieves and ambushes.

My military stands out with 4 miners, which should be suitable for taking down any thieves or ambushes, should it come to it. The most threatening wildlife in the area so far have been two-humped camels, who have stayed out of my way, so I have no real reason to kill them apart from some meat.

Meat will be an issue in the future, since I can't hold most livestock due to the lack of a steady growth of feed. I'm singling out poultry for being the best preferable option next to dogs and cats, which I have an abundance of due to bringing two pairs of each with me.

The mountain around the volcano is slowly being shaved away. I should have the next two layers removed by next summer.

LISTEN UP, YOU BASTARDS!

I found a site that you all might find extremely interesting.



A magma TOWER that goes 74 Z-levels straight up. The pillar itself is isolated at the final 15. I thought you all would want to play this one. I uploaded it to the File Depot.

Just to warn you, half of this world is Hell, literally. For soem reason, my worldgens lately have had Hell sprouting up halfway down, and it's not even a 50 z-level Hell or anything like that. Most of it is attributed to the Glowing pits. I looked in reveal and Prospector. There is over 5 million Slade in this area. Also, there is a magma leak somewhere that is pouring magma directly into the pits. I don't know if it's linked to the sea, but if it is, it could render the zone unplayable. regardless, I'm going to try making this area the new pit.

EDIT: It is. Mission aborted.

Yeah, I had to find another embark site. I deleted the page.

The embark site was too hot for anything to be done properly. the booze and water were all vaporizing near instantly.

Regenerating the world. For some reason, it's only giving me one volcano per world gen.

Oh God no not the Zombees! NOT THE ZOMBEES! AUUUUUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Okay, I generated the world and embarked on a volcano/hill/mountain range.




the plateau is about 3 z levels up and the river and lowest surface point 9 z-levels down. The mountain peaks are 15 z levels up from the embark site. The surface of the magma is right next to the embark site.

Any questions?
