You could try the Water Temple. With clever use of drainage and reservoirs it could be possible. For that matter, use the succession -> abandon thing to make a hyrule complete with all of the dungeons.

Yeah, dwarves tend not to have realistic equipment limits. Have fun with your blender.

Well, there's this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearlash

You can sift through here with a basic knowledge of chemical compounds (thank you, honors chemistry!) and it shouldn't be too hard to find an alternate production method.

Apparently, modern production involves electrolysis, which you could technically build a custom workshop for. You should probably make it powered, and I assume a flat desert would have plenty of wind available for a windmill. You'd also need a good substitute for Potassium Chloride, maybe more reactions to get potassium (you could also mod in bananas) and chlorine (not sure how dwarves would do this, but it could also be used as a basic explosive once that mechanic gets put in) and to combine them.

I like it. For added fun, use all of your trees for potash -> pearlash -> clear glass and build only with that.

I tend to never have FPS problems, I just get uber bored once my farming industry is done. As soon as my dwarves can competently avoid starvation, I tend to lose interest and start over. I usually start a mega project of some sort while I'm getting them fed, but those fall by the wayside. I'm currently making a massive, 100-tile diameter sphere for my dwarves to live in, with the throne room/monarch(s)' chambers in the dead center.

In fact, the only living thing to die of old age in any of my forts was a cavy.

Nice. I've always liked this song. Then again, hasn't everybody?

Personally, the one time I actually started harvesting the cotton candy sticks I turned it into wafers and let it rust away in its own stockpile.

Took a look at it and not sure if it's salvagable. The mayor is the only living dwarf (or I guess he was made the mayor after everyone drowned) and he's miserable.

I think I'mma sig this, K?
