Interesting to see a community for DF here so fast! I remember when I 1st saw DF on r/gaming sidebar and got hooked after seeing all the weird stories and crazy mega projects.
So for the sake of old time inspiration (and to try posting something) I want to ask what mega project people here dream about?
To start off. I have been trying to do a fairly weird project, not even recently, but for years! I want to make a bridge across huge water space from an evil biome to a good biome.
Generating a world with both evil and good biome close together is a bit tricky, but the thing that held me back for so many attempts is that I am just too greedy with the world gen. I keep trying to get Tower nearby (along with all 4 major races), and evil mist for rp reason. I think the new update let you send envoy to neighbors though, so I can be more flexible with the spot.
The Northbridge series by Kruggsmash does inspire me to give this mega project a try again. The last attempt didn’t go so well with extremely early Tower invasion. Currently I am waiting for multi-thread update before giving this another shot.
If there is one minor thing to complain about, it’s the mini map. I want to make a long map (like 1x16 map) but the mini map looks awful as a result. If there is a way to just disable the mini map (like old school DF version), that would be great.
Wait, you can send envoys to neighbors? How?
There is a button at the bottom to click on to open the world map. From there you can click on various other site and send some dwarf there making demand.
