From what I've seen, this already sorta exists if you reclaim a fort.

But I agree, this is a good suggestion.

Since you're at peace with them, you might get a trade caravan, if you do you can just kill the traders a couple of times, and eventually they'll go to war with you.

I suppose I could try and drain it using the map edge fortification bug(?) but that'll cause massive amounts of lag and thinking about my overly complicated cistern assembly, the fact that it's the magma sea would cause endless 'a section of the cavern has collapsed' spam.

The blue stuff vein gets wider as it goes down. dropping water around the vein should work for the first layer, the layers down should be managably large to dig out a little room within them.

I never thought about just running a bucket-brigade from a platform above it. Would that work?

Buckets don't drop enough water to form obsidian.

Ok, so i've hit the blue stuff in the magma sea. However it's surrounded on all sides by magma, and it's too thin to burrow down it safely. How can I mine this deposit short of something incredibly dorfy like draining the magma sea?

In my farm set up, I have farms for each crop, however after one crop of pigtails, the year later the farm's empty. adding a Process plants job does nothing, but on my stocks I have pig tail seeds.

Help?

I've found a flooded cave, and built a second well to draw from it.

It does seem to rain, but not often.

What Z-level is it likely for me to find the circus at, as i've found adamantine at -36 and after digging up all of the exposed ore, I'm worried about digging deeper.

I keep trying in vain to think of a DF version of my profession...

Sinlessraptor, Competent Haemotology Scientist just doesn't seem to have a compatible profession.
