Points of Interest

• Δ 66. Surface overview

  ( 260 Early Spring to 262 Late Spring )
  The surface above the fort. The kings orders were to create a minimal surface pressence. In aid of this, much of the entrance will be placed in a large artificial lake. The lake has been dug out and is awaiting the creation of skylights above the spiral ramp and entrance hallway before being flooded.
  
  To the north east is the old entrance compound, hopefully to be removed in the next few years. - mounf

• Δ 65. Old fort

  ( 260 Early Spring to 264 Late Spring )
  260 - The old fort is nearly empty, all that remains is farming, food preperation and storage and the military barracks. The new barracks are mostly ready for use, however the military will not be moved until the new entranceway is completed and the old fort can be abandoned.
  
  263 - Only a few dusty, forgotten goblin cages remain. Soon this whole area will be abbandoned and flooded. - mounf

• 60. Living quarters

  ( 256 Early Spring to 264 Early Spring )
  A room for every dwarf/couple.
  
  Spread over multiple levels, a simple 2x2 room for every dwarf in the fortress. Living quarters will eventually be moved to the cavern levels.

• 58. Main Entrance: upper dome

  ( 257 Early Spring to 265 Early Spring )
  The upper level of the double helix ramp to the caverns. This forms the base of a dome. The main entryway enters the dome from the south. - mounf

• 52. Noble quarters

  ( 258 Early Spring to 265 Early Spring )
  The temporary home of our new noble, Baron Onul Eturcog. - mounf

• 52. Wood hall

  ( 258 Early Spring to 265 Early Spring )
  The center of the wood industry. With access to the caverns due in 258/259, we should soon be able to obtain a plentiful supply of local wood for our carpenters and furnaces. - mounf

• 51. Trade depot

  ( 258 Early Spring to 265 Early Spring )
  The new trade depot location, delayed by power plant problems until at least late 261. The trade depot sits on a platform over the cavern 1 lake, near the heart of the fortress. - mounf

• 51. Hospital

  ( 256 Late Spring to 260 Early Spring )
  Small, temporary hospital, thankfully has only seen limited use so far!
  
  256- For now, this is also the location of the training squad barracks. - mounf

• 52. Main entrance: cavern layer

  ( 257 Early Spring to 265 Early Spring )
  The base of the main entrance has been designed. The large circular room contains the base of a double helix ramp leading up to the main entrance corridor. Surrounding this are the military barracks, 5 for melea dwarfs on this level, a further 4 for crossbows on the level above.

• 52. Masons crafthall

  ( 257 Early Spring to 265 Early Spring )
  Main floor of the masons crafthall, space for 4 workshops, with stone stockpiles (one for magma safe, one for other) on the floor below. - mounf

• Δ 49. Main stockpiles

  ( 260 Early Spring to 265 Late Spring )
  The main furniture and finnished goods stockpiles are placed near the center of the fort. Everything which does not need to be somewhere else should end up in these stockpiles across a number of levels. - mounf

• 52. Fort overview

  ( 259 Early Spring to 262 Late Spring )
  The fort is built around a walled of section of the 1st cavern layer. - mounf

• Δ 46. Cloth works

  ( 260 Early Spring to 265 Mid Spring )
  The cloth works are split over 3 levels. Shown is the middle, dye working level. The works all have windows looking out over a light well between the 1st and 2nd cavern layers. - mounf

• 43. Hall of memory

  ( 256 Early Spring to 265 Early Spring )
  Hall containing the history of the fort, each 9x2 block of engraved stone comemorates one season of the fort, starting in 256. 4 of the Blocks are engraved per year. I also plan to place tombs off this room, entrances being positioned by the appropriate years engravings. - mounf

• 61. Dining Room

  ( 255 Early Spring to 265 Early Spring )
  The newer dining room. The entire dining room will eventually be in the caverns. However, a nice place to eat is important for morale, so this temporary space is being built. - mounf

• 31. Magma forges

  ( 256 Late Spring to 265 Early Spring )
  Forges and smelters south of the main access stair, glass furnaces and kilns to the north. Supply of raw materials could use streamlining. Time to investigate mine carts! - mounf

• 37. Experimental Power Plant

  ( 259 Early Spring to 260 Early Spring )
  The power plant draws water from the second level cavern lake down artificial channels under water wheels, dumping it into the 3rd layer lake.
  It should produce ~900 power after transmission losses. It'll be interesting to see if it works!
  
  This was abandoned in 260 due to water pressure/lake drainage/fps issues. - mounf
