Points of Interest

• Δ 122. Road

  ( 1055 Late Spring to onwards )
  A road to keep trees off of my trade route. The inside is rough floor and outside is smooth road. Just after I found the underground, a tree popped up to block my path (it planned to once it was older). So I widened the path so that wild underground plants can grow to the sides. - droid

• ¶ 121. Farms and grotto

  ( 1055 Late Summer to onwards )
  Stone paths allow herbalists and woodcutters access to all wild plants that grow in the grotto, and the fields generate above ground crops. So a plant should remain untouched until harvest. The underground sand is marked as restricted to keep the dwarves from pathfinding over a young tree. - droid

• Δ 116. Masons' workshops
  Most of these are making blocks. The highest skilled mason gets her own room next to his workshop, it is not making blocks. Her room has 3 beds so that she can find a bed even if other dwarves are sleeping in her room. Once stockpiles are set up in his room and we have a good supply of stone, she will be assigned to a burrow that is just large enough for her to get everything she needs.
  She is currently the manager so that workshop profiles are activated. Once I start using the [U]->[M]anager screen I will have to find someone else. - droid
• 121. Aquifier crossing

  ( 1054 Late Spring to onwards )
  I used the cave in method, it is easiest because you don't have to worry about drowning. Just make sure you bring enough stone for the mechanisms to pull it off.
  
  Also gives irrigated above-ground soil automatically. - droid

• Δ 114. Exploratory mining.
  I know that the caves are somewhere around here, but where?
  
  Not shown: more of the same for the next several layers down. Eventually I gave up and just drilled a hole straight down expecting either to find a cave or magma. - droid
• Δ 93. Guardpost in the depths.

  ( 1055 Early Summer to onwards )
  A spot for the guards to rally if we are attacked from below. The level controls a drawbridge a few levels down that will seal the fort against most threats. The bridges on this level should be walled in to protect against flyers. Once I have a real military, they will explore this system of caves so that I can plan my fort around them.
  Based on the plant life, I think I missed a layer of caves in my exploratory mining. When I found it I got "You have found a passage downward"x2 because of the paths going upward from here. - droid

• Δ 90. I see you
  Lurking cave crocodile. I will keep the dwarves away from the water if possible.
  Haven't seen any other creatures of the deep, probably because there is no path to any dwarves. Once I start exploring they will move into LOS. - droid
