Map Description:

Year 35 of Construction



The Dwarven Computer is finally complete! I've tested it and it functions as expected, though its performance is really lousy.



You can see my design manuscript at http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AdISzBuNg6ZWZGd0d2t4YjlfMjJ0ejlzc2dnaA&hl=en



This monumental build contains 672 pumps, 2000 logs, 8500 mechanisms and thousands of other assort bits and knobs like doors and rock blocks.

Point of Interest: Dwarven Computer ( 1036 Early Winter → onwards ) This shot shows you the overview of the computer's pressure sensor deck. All the pressure plates are installed on this deck for simplicity.

Most of the logic has been installed on the other decks.



Yellow gears represent gears that are disengaged by default. Grey gears are not linked to any pressure plates. Blue gears are engages by default. Unfortunately I didn't have enough cobaltite to make all the blue gears on the upper deck so I used orthoclase instead.

This monumental build contains 672 pumps, 2000 logs, 8500 mechanisms and thousands of other assort bits and knobs like doors and rock blocks.

I believe this is the first programmable digital computer that anyone has built in DF. I believe it is turing complete, for anyone who cares. - Jong89
