Mega Construcions
Mega constructions, also deemed mega projects can incopriate almost anything, whether it be beneficial to the fortress or not. The deffiniton of a "mega construction" will vary by user. Some examples of mega constructinos are listed below, along with thier relative difficulty and usefulness.
Above ground fortress
Usefulness: none
Comments: This is rather hard to do, as you will find that you will always need more stone. It becomes a challenge to build freestanding homes for each new colinist, as instead of mining out 5 squares for a 2 by 2 room with a door, it will take at lesat 16 constructions, including 1 ramp, 4 floors, and 11 walls, not including furniture.
Pyramids
Usefulness: low
Comments: This can be an interesting starting projet for people who would like to try a large construction project, but need to figure out how construction works first. It only has a usefulness of low as you can place beds or coffins (mabye both) in each level of the pyramid. For extra cool points, try to make each layer of the pyramid out of slightly more valuable materials as the layer before.
Massive statues
Usefullnes: none
Comments: A neat idea. A gifted few have figured out how to get magma in the eyeballs of the statue.
Large scale flooding
Usefulness: Low-Medium
Comments: A last resort agianst the goblins. This can be done with water or magma. Take note that this usually fails, resulting in lots of fun.
