Da Mayor's Space

We've only had one mayor so far, Besmar Bridgeenjoyed. She's also the owner of the great round tavern The Green Peaches. Her dining hall is on the right, and her office is a z level up, where she is right now, conducting a meeting. Her bedroom is about 4 z's down in the apartment complex to the SE. The well is the public well, and made of gold. The big thing to the west is for general furniture storage, mostly barrels, bags, and bins.

It wasn't intentional, but the layout kind of reminds me of a cartoon character. The levers by the well control water intake and outtake, which is rather sloppy but functional.

Farms and Block Storage

That's the farm. Plants, animals, eggs aplenty. Once I broke into cavern 1, in the process of digging wells for the prison, I decided to dig out an underground pasture. And once I got the glass thing going I set up a few greenhouses, then made a few more "surface" plots accidentally by chopping down trees which allowed the infernal sun to sneak in, which is why I set up the additional plots to the south.

Further south was the initial block storage for the outside constructions, also the base of the main archery tower, also the tunnel to the second, more modest archery tower.

Kitchen, Clothes, Cave Spider

My first silk factory as a player. It was kind of funny, this particular beast wandered up from the caves most stealthy, then got her legs mangled in some weapon traps. She then limped, slowly, past a number of completely oblivious dorfs, until she got caught in a cage trap below the barracks. She's still missing two of her right legs.

That said, as you can see, all I have to do is send in the guard and the terrified monster becomes most productive. Just waiting for someone to hit the granite lever that'll seal her in and it'll be another round of production.

Kitchens serve the Tummy of Shingles. Keep going down and you'll see our first housing block. To the right you see the tomb of Onul Polishedboats, former expedition leader, and late owner of the Tummy of Shingles and Baroness of Fancyhammers. She was a legendary mason and apparently loved reindeer. Her slab is in the tavern above, by the green glass hatch cover.

Trade Depot

I'm kind of proud of this one. Dug out the depot first, then a large circle around, then channeled below, leaving a few pillars to hold the depot up. Added some water from our nearby stream and you've got a very nice little space, with the implied threat that I could drown the entire caravan with the flip of a lever.

The Military Sector

Here's the barracks, the quarters of the Hammerguard, the main dumping pit, the archery range and the prison.

In the prison you can spot a corpse: It is the body of Kafek Idolpink, the slayer of over 3000 humans, former mayor and a vampiric monster who was executed by the captain of the guard. I left her corpse to rot in her cell, for she doesn't deserve a burial.

The Heart of the Fortress

Here's the centre of the fort. On the western side is the dining hall and the upper class quarters, inhabited by administrators, nobles and artifact crafters.

The food and organic crafts sectors are to the south. To the north are the masonry and metalcrafting sectors. To the east are the carpentry and special (soap, glass, potash etc.) sectors.

Common bedrooms in the hallways and above the dining hall.
