>Stand on tiptoes, look at grate.

Never expect Bay12 to do what you expect them to!

I will get dressed, head out the door, grab breakfast, and head to my laboratory.

Sure. Maybe even a map showing how the sectors connect.

Create hydrogen in the void. Create lots and lots and lots of it.
[4] Hydrogen spreads out through the void, clumping in some places.

Grow  larger, MUCH LARGER. MUHAAHAHAHA
You don't have an actual physical form, so...sure.

Fuse the other universal edges together to turn the torus into a Klein Bottle.
[1] You trap yourself in a Klein-bottle alternate dimension. Then a garbage can and a nonut hit you in the metaphysical head.

Make oxygen.
[4] Oxygen created.

Make habital planet.
[3] You create a planet which would probably be habitable, if it was near a source of heat and light. I'll call it...Toh.

Create intelegent life on planets.
Also make more solar systems.
[5] You create a whole ecosystem of aliens--two, in fact. The Dertakans are trolls made of fire who have large litters. The Furmeans are thin, with slug-like bodies and specialized limbs. Other notable species on both worlds (which share species other than their races) include a race of spindly creatures who reproduce asexually and are symbiotic with plants; one-eyed bears which reproduce quickly and have four tentacles coming out of their backs; cantankerous cattle made of earth and stone; a small dolphin-like creature with a complicated life cycle; and a race of clumsy fish with stinger-tails and stubby arms for pectoral fins, probably explaining the clumsiness. Phew. I'll...I'll let other people name these species.

Make another attempt at this Pocket Dimension thing
You notice a Klein dimension. [5] Now it can only be entered! You toss the nonut and garbage can in celebratoraly!

June
You decide to work out some. Your parents are a little mystified by this, but they don't seem to mind overly much.
In the end, you join the local YMCA1, for simplicity, swim every Tuesday and Thursday, and work out every Monday and Wednesday. This leaves Fridays and weekends open--plus, of course, the parts of the days you're not at the Y.
You meet two supers, a woman of about 17 named Nora MacDonald and a man in his 30's named Richard Shaw. Nora can turn into a sort of oily liquid, still maintaining cohesion usually, and Richard can manipulate live plants. Not exactly A-Grade material. You 2.
By the end of June, you have managed to increase your strength. Your healing helped--you didn't get tired as easily and got up less beat than you would have otherwise. Your strength is still within human norms, but between training and power you're well above-average.

1-Or something else if someone has a better idea.
2-What did you do with Nora and Richard?

Would the troll be useful to train your military or would it be to powerful? I kinda want to know because in my game I've got lots of trolls (there's over 20 in my pit) that came as an invasion and I want to get rid of them in an efficiently manner.
wouldn't it be possible to carve the sides of the pit into arrow slots?  Just don't allow the archers to shoot across from one side to the next.
I can already shoot into the pit from above and because the siege token isn't showing it means that the goblin archers in the pit won't fire back
No, it just means the siege was broken.

DF Modding / Re: Alien Hive Mod Idea

This looks like it could be a good idea.

The biggest problem is the "Reproduction" bit.

It's probably possible to have a "Facehugger" creature you can buy as a pet at embark "hug face" an opponent, eventually causing them to transform into a "chestburster" and then a full xenomorph, but the chestburster and xenomorph would still retain their old alliance. Any ideas on how to change that? Would making xenomorphs OPPOSED_TO_LIFE help?

It's as normal as anything is in DF.

Of course, you'd want some indication of what was there, for reasons mentioned above.

For live training, I just send my dwarves out, armed or no, unarmed or no, to attack wild animals.
It gets food, to!

Your fort is being flooded, there's a steel titan rampaging through the fort, half you dwarves are at a wedding, and the other half are at a memorial service. Sounds like Fun to me.
"So, Urist, I heard you got married a few months ago. How was it?"
"Horrible. I didn't even get to kiss the bride."
"Why not?"
"People from the memorial services down the hall trampled her."
"What?"
"They were fleeing from a giant steel theropod with four arms."
"..."
"Its dust didn't help her health, either."

I don't think people would be a high enough percentage of station mass to do such a thing.
Technically, it would work.
Practically, it wouldn't do much.

I can easily see a problem with the 'whole station is rotating' idea.
Namely, it's be harder for something to dock with it. Not impossible, but a lot harder.
It's be like Elite. A lot of dying. Or at least, it would be like that with me.
Why not have the dock in the middle of the flywheel. The docking apparatus just needs to be place on ball bearings and a motor to counter act the small amount of friction and you now a stationary, self adjustable dock.
Friction. Unless you want to spend a load of fuel keeping the station rotating, the central part will, eventually, slow down the whole station.
I would have thought that, no matter what, the whole station would stop rotating after a while. I brought this up earlier, and it wasn't addressed.
If my reasoning is off, my Sci-Fi will be much more interesting...

I vote that, if we can figure out how to get around the lack of flight issue, we go for the birds.

Head through the dense fog, avoiding obstacles.
