Do DFHack's quickfort blueprints work? It would probably be a pain to use if you were just trying to designate stuff freeform, but if you're building stuff like impulse ramps then designating from a schematic is practical.

Wow thats a great idea! Yeah still annoying for normal building but the biggest issue I had was impulse ramps, so I guess I could setup a bunch of them in different directions and use that!
Still hoping that someone might be able to turn this into a mod in future though. I know nothing of coding df mods but maybe I could give it a go...

Cheers!

Hate to necro an old thread but figured the last posts were discussing the possibility of this being updated to the steam release and I was wondering if any progress has been made to this?
Looking at the mods on the workshop I get the impression that the mod support does not allow for overly deep changes/additions which is a shame although I see that there is DFhack on steam for a few months so its possible that work here is already under way 

I absolutely loved this mod, I could finally help a bunch of friends get into the game so much more than just trying to talk them through each of the steps lol

I've recently embarked on a savage ocean after being reminded of the breeding sea serpent thread and I was looking forward to catching some sharks or whales to put inside a giant terrarium. However I cannot seem to get ocean spawns.

I know that land spawns trumps ocean spawns so I did the trick with the bridges to block off all edge tiles around my world. The issue with this is that I keep getting birds spawning in ocean edge tiles, and I believe I've seen them spawn above the bridges as well (I could be wrong). (Can birds spawn in the air or do they have to spawn on the ground-most tile around the edge?).

Is there any way I can increase my ocean spawns without using dfhack to slaughter all species of birds, or needing to bother with hundreds of dwarven marksman and pray they fly close enough to them?

I've even tried a method I saw in a thread with a similar title to this one where he bridged off the whole edge except for a single tile on the beach, then made a tunnel out of bridges leading to that one space in the edge of the map and pumped water through. In his tests this resulted in fish spawning above land, inside this tube of water he created. I replicated this but nothing spawned (unless they immediately got pushed off the map again from the force of the water lol...)

Thanks in advance for any help!

Okay so quests in 2012 were straight forward, you ask for a quest, you get a specific target to go kill, you did it and then told someone. Now I ask around looking for a quest and only get titans, armies and occasionally a bandit camp.

 So since none of them can tell me where to find the titans I go to the bandit camp and start killing, but no one fights back until I specifically attack them. An I meant to go say something before I attack? Currently I walk in and attack someone, and his mates watch the battle until their friend is dead and I come after them...

Then after this what do I do? When I go tell someone in the same civilisation that I killed these people all they say is, "it was inevitable", or " it is terrifying ", is that all I need?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I would actually prefer a meadows arena.

So its come to my attention that there are no crundles in arena mode... Am I missing something or should all crundle gladiators be changed to gremlins?
I mean, crundles and gremlins are pretty similar in stats, and it would be far easier than modding raws.

But I'm a tad biased because I would prefer to be a gremlin than a crundle

A fight to the death for all competitors who are over the limit? like a large all out war?

Okay Ive seen a bunch of posts where people claim that GCS, and web spinning forgotten beasts need to be able to path to targets to be able to spit web, and if thats the case then they must be able to path through either:
A) Raised bridges and forbidden doors
or B) Fortifications
Both of which people claim is impossible...
But my spider farm works fine (currently all I have is a web breathing forgotten beast but it works just as well for GCS' when I get them)
Now because I had to time raising drawbridges to capture this beast there is a corridor that he can run up and down while breathing webs, not an issue and if you have a cage you can always remove the corridor for a 1x1 room.

The layout:

Here is what it looks like with comments to explain it:

Heres the image without all the cluster of comments:

After enough web has covered the bridges you simply queue 4 'pull lever' orders and it will dump all the silk below (you dont need to pull it 4 times, I just find thats easier as it will only have enough time for the bridges to retract and then deploy again, so you dont have to order it a second time). Have a chanelled out room below it and there you go! Infinite silk!

Here is an example of the silk output:
