The magma construction tower is complete and I am already redoing the outer walls in poured magma. Not much going on inside the fort, nor have there been anymore megabeasts since my last post.
This is my favorite part of the fortress. Two small towers extending up into the sky, one pumping magma and the other water. At the top will there is a system to channel and dump the magma wherever I want on the map. Then it will dump the water over the magma to solidify it into solid obsidian to be mined out into a useable structure. At the moment I am using it to create the fortress walls. - Diabl0658

How do you propose to turn blocks back into rough stone?
Submitted by: Diabl0658 - 2008-08-15 to 1058 Late Summer
Partially melt them with magma and then remove the magma before the the blocks are completely destroyed

Be interesting to see how this works in practice, it sounds like a risky operation. :)
