Chancebolts - 117 Early Winter by kenken244

Map Description:

I finally decided that I should upload this map to the DFMA. This is a fortress made of obsidian blocks, suspended over a major river with an 11 z-level waterfall. I have just finished moving most things from my temporary fortress into the fortress on the river.

Point of Interest: Old Obsidian Factory

( 117 Early Winter → onwards )

This is an old obsidian maker that was used in the beginning of the fortress. It had numerous flaws: It could only function when the river was not frozen, which is a good fith of the year, It would melt obsidian if you tried to encase the rocks in order to create a larger stockpile, it had a tendency to require tedious and dangerous work to fix if the levers were not pulled correctly, and it required two levers to be pulled in order to function.Soon after the masonry building was completed, it became obvious that the obsidian maker could not keep up with production. That, combined with the other flaws, led me to build the newer obsidan maker to the east. It is still functional, if I wanted to use it for some reason. - kenken244

Wow. Nice fort.

I'd love to see Visual Fortress screenies of some of that fort

This place is awesome. I want to say epic, but you know, the word is a still a tad overused.

Unfortunatley, my save file for this map got corrupted, and I did not make any backups, so I will not be able to continue this fort.

You can download the compressed map file: 2009-10/kenken244-Chancebolts-region1-117-30244.fdf-map but you will need the .NET version of SL's DF Map Compressor to convert to the .PNG image format.
