Early autumn and the farms are all set up - Meagre crops to start with (well, that's a lie - but relative to later they're meagre!) but plenty to keep the dwarves going so far!
Planning for the green glass start has begun, as has surveying the lake for a suitable layout.
We have decided we will have to start along the near lake-bed and then descend underwater once we are past the lake shelf, at least until a point when we can dig under our entrance tunnel and expand the lake size itself.

You can download the compressed map file:

but you will need the .NET version of

Totally sweet. It's too bad the lake is only 2 z-levels deep, or you could make some totally massive structures.

You're missing the point of water:
If he digs down FOR the lake, he can expand it to the lowest level possible!
He could fill the entire damn MAP with water, as ill-advised that may be.

very good. question, will you stick with green glass or eventually convert over to clear?

Clear glass might be used in some areas, but unless I can import Rock Crystals, crystal glass won't be.
And Flok has the right idea, I intend to expand the lake-bed where needed so allow for further underwater "expansion" - I believe the lake already gets filled up from the South and East map edges, but I haven't confirmed that yet.

Wonderful! I don't get why you don't have more comments. You should. I have never tried to build something underwater, but the glass idea is cool! also, I have a question. How do you free up bags for glassmaking? Mine are always full of seeds and the like. Anyway, Great temple!

does the glass actually require reinforcement in-game? or is that just a bit of realism? and i wonder what kind of crops you can grow underwater... or if you can have an aquarium with turtles or larger water fauna and such. keep us updated.
