12/25/2023 0 Comments Dwarf fortress blocksI eventually figured out a route that was pretty direct and minimized how janky the path was - even if it starts out by going the wrong direction.īuilding a park like this raises a number of logical questions. The trick is to ignore the lots and lots of useless information. This was like a too much information puzzle. But I started with figuring out the ends of the puzzle and then started working towards the middle from each side at first, and then switched to doing the top side down to finish the connection. At one point it's going to pass through an abandoned stockpile area, I just didn't have a choice. Figuring out how to connect it was an interesting three dimensional puzzle. I'm going to have to connect water all the way from the surface to level 150 and then some. There are not any conveniently located lakes in the caves above this project. To grow the mushrooms where I want I'm going to have to coat the area with mud by doing some plumbing. We've been having too much trouble with were beasts in the tavern. This is going to be a dwarves only meeting space I think. I finally found a spot that was large enough, but the trade off was that it's kind of deep underground. I didn't want to have to micro manage the digging out process any more than I already had to. ![]() I wanted to carve out a fresh space to minimize the chance of cave ins. I found a couple places that were close to good enough, but there were just too many hallways in the way. The dwarves of swampcavern were quite zealous in their search for iron and coal. It really took some searching to find a spot big enough to build this. It's also partly to get away from the number 10 all the time, and to make it easier to find a place to build this space. So even if I run the fort for a long, long time they will never grow up to reach the roof. Even given years and years I rarely see mushroom trees grow much more than 5 stories tall. I had someone ask why 19 stories tall and it has to do with how tall giant mushroom trees grow. This is so as not to block the view of the trees behind it. The bridge is missing its middle so it doesn't quite connect. The walls of this room will be smoothed and engraved with scenes of things that happened in the fortress. It has a piece cut out of the middle in an attempt to make it easier to see the trees distinctly. ![]() On the same level as the bridge - ten stories up - the back third of the room has a second level of mushroom trees on it as a backdrop. In the middle is an arched bridge with two perfect mushroom trees growing on the ends of it. There is a platform rising up one story on one end of the room to have a view of it. The bottom is almost all giant mushroom trees. Picture a vast rectangular room, 45 blocks long, 36 blocks wide, 19 dwarf stories tall. So I thought of a different large, ambitious project that would take me a while to do. And it had been pointed out that my idea for a water fountain was more like a 1 water level random sprinkler. Then I realized that this fort had only just been clawed back from being unplayably slow. My first thought was a mushroom park with fountains, a river, some kind of water feature. I was thinking about a project to keep me interested in my old fortress Swampcavern.
