Haven't tried floor grates or water flushing yet.

(Dwarves don't seem willing to toss stuff into open space to hit a stockpile below, though I didn't really expect that to work, and I don't know if I can designate a stockpile on anything movable like a hatch cover. My first group of guinea pigs dwarves is no doubt doomed when winter comes due to their fixation on trying to build chutes to efficiently deliver aboveground raw materials to underground. The image is larger and square since weve moved from 8x12 ASCII glyphs to 16x16 tiles, Tarn said of. I haven't poked around a huge amount yet, but a few exploratory tunnels revealed just a little bismuthinite and a lot of granite I wonder if digging too deep is exactly the issue anymore. Dwarf Fortress has a new world map tileset for Steam. To corroborate what someone else said, I dug to -15 from a riverside and that was the minimum (it seems to be measured from local ground level, so the same may turn out to be a higher number under a mountain). Seems I'm quite high up and surrounded by lakes, lots of clay and sand around. Nevermind, 4 levels down and it's looking like familiar territory again. Once you've found it, replace the existing entry with the name of the square tileset and voila, original DF look with square tiles. If the same donor gave more than one time, it was also possible that the bits of ASCII Art followed each other and formed a story. Each scene had a chance to appear later in some form in one of ThreeToe's Stories. Then search either init text files (in the DF folder) for the tileset option (it'll have the base tileset name so you could copy that files name from the graphics folder to accelerate your search). The ASCII art was a small scene made of a few ASCII characters, along with a unique story written by ThreeToe happening in the Dwarf Fortress world. Simply access your DF graphics folder and copy the name of the square tileset.

Okay I've dug two levels down, I haven't found any rocks or ore yet, how many levels on the Z axis are there? Dwarf fortress already has a square tileset available to you.
