Megafort containing, among other things, a colony on the magma sea floor, a werebeast-powered lunar calendar, and the first skyfort built with cave-ins ON.
( 876 Mid Spring → 901 Mid Spring )
This is the first ever skyfort constructed with cave-ins turned on.
A tile attached to the top level of the map with, say, a support, can hold up the column of tiles directly below it. I discovered it was possible to hold up walkable tiles with usable buildings/furniture by casting obsidian over existing furniture, then digging up/down stairs over the furniture.
Using bees for drink and animals for food and clothing, this fort is fully self-sufficient. The fort contains bedrooms, tombs, a dining room, and nearly every type of workshop, including magma forges.
Dwarves enter the fort by a retracting drawbridge which provides no support at all. - itg_

How long did it take you to cast that magma cistern? Also you are a grandmaster at DF.

Thanks! It's hard to say how long it took since I put the project on the back burner a few times. Maybe 15 years?

Awesome. I can barely imagine what it'd be like as a young dwarf arriving at this massive fortress for the first time, setting eyes down on the great staircase from the bridge above.

It's about 30 with temperature off. I keep my population at about 100 and am constantly dumping surplus items into the abyss.

One of the better fortresses in recent memory! Awesome work - how long IRL have you been churning out this beast?

About a year, on an off. I haven't put nearly as much work into it since the beginning of this year, since I've been waiting for the new release.
