Refuse / Captured Goblins

there's no system to get rid of them yet.

Purring Maggots

I got a purring maggot! I was very excited. I put it in its own cage so it wouldn't be near the central production area, disgusting every dwarf that walked by, and I went out to milk it. One milk. I made cheese from that milk. One cheese. Each maggot can be milked once per season. I guess the cheese is worth 100 dwarfbucks, but damn, that was a waste of time. This is of course not surprising to anybody. That being said, maybe I'll keep trying to catch purring maggots for roleplaying purposes.

Side note: to catch a purring maggot, build an animal trap DIRECTLY ON one of the "bottomless" squares at the lowest level of the map, and bait it with meat. If you go down to level 0, you can see another trap put in the proper location.

Primary Workshops

Non-food non-metal workshops live here: mason, carpenter, crafts, cloth, etc.

Quantum stockpiles are set up roughly along the lines laid out in this post ( http://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/2kuvs1/mechanixms_guide_to_better_stockpiling_part_2_the/ ), with cloth split out (in the northern wing of this room) and metal occupying a separate room entirely.

Pimped / Gimped Up Dining Hall

Overbuilt Dining Room

Clearly much larger than it needs to be. I'm considering changing it to a tavern but I'm not sure I want that much FUN in my life.

Outdoor Defenses

Still no soldiers to give the defenses teeth, but the structure is in place. I may add an extra turn on the south side of the barracks, I may not. The gauntlet is plenty long as it is, I suspect.

The main downside to this is that without roads in place, I got a tree growing in my caravan path without noticing, and missed out on the wagons. To combat this I'm now relatively aggressive with dirt road partitioning.

Out-of-doors Fields

The biggest plot here is reserved for sun berries, which I have so far not yet found, but which I think I can get in this region.

I had to build some temporary floors attached to the top of the containing wall and designate ponds to muddy up some of the rhyolite tiles in the space I wanted to use. The rocks used to compose these still litter the fields, since I have outdoor refuse collection turned off.

Non-Quantum Food Stockpiles

For all three of these stockpiles (raw food stuffs to the north, prepared meals to the west, and drinks to the east) we need barrels, so we can not use quantum stockpiles.
