Beandagger - 434 Early Autumn by Noble Digger

Map Description:

After completely draining the magma moat and installing another hundred-odd mechanisms worth of improvements, the new three-channeled system is fully functional and beginning to fill. The south chimney was filled, massive quarrying in bedroom area, replacing doors in the manor area with steel for aesthetics. Lots of brewing going on at the moment, as well.

Point of Interest: 05. Chimney Fill Hardware

If there is an easier way to move magma across the surface without making any permanent changes, I have yet to learn it. :D - Noble Digger

What is with all of the grates all over the place? Flood protection?

Some of the grates were scaffolding for things that needed to have their floors mined out so they could collapse. Some are in place just in case water gets in there--which is never likely to happen, but I enjoy building that sort of thing for the eventuality, especially if it adds something else to the fort at the same time. Some are there to trick forgotten beasts into going a certain way--they can't cross over grates because they try to destroy them instead.

I'm not really sure how you can use that tileset. It's probably one of the ugliest ones I've ever seen designed for actual use by humans.

Um, ok?

Please, bestow upon us your worldly knowledge concerning all things tilesets.

I, personally, quite like the pttg set, thank you very much.

'To each his own' is my creed,

and to the rest, a dip in the moat.

Edit: Though, if you'd like to see how this fort looks in a tileset of your choosing, feel free to suggest one and I'll export a screenshot using yours. It used to take 20+ minutes to complete the whole process, but with DF31.08 it takes 20 seconds give or take.

Wow, those magma chambers and the walled moat are something else.

Chimney... aha, I get it. Nice work. I like how you're theming the workshop areas around the fort - gives each place a focus and purpose.
