Glad to see your forges use the unpassable parts as a way to block the holes to the magma! Though, you really should put bars over top of the holes until you're ready to put a forge there.

My next fortress aims to be two pyramids stuck on each other, and partly submerged, with everything built within the period. Anything like lava will have to be channel from outside into the pyramid through tunnels, and hopefully it'll encourage some focused building design, and I get the feeling this fortress is far more spread out then necessay.

Points of Interest

Δ 17. Front towers
Two towers with a bridge between them, constructed stone by stone. The land around the towers was cut back from the front of the towers all the way back to the cliff face. This involved several reloads as any cave in generally punctured the river and the bedrooms below it. - Brown Moses
Δ 17. The rear tower
This was the first tower I built above ground, and the clearing of the ground around it caused a major cave in that flooded the bottom floor of my fortress requiring major drainage construction, hence the grates on the bottom floor. So far this tower has proved to be useless. - Brown Moses
Δ 15. Main cavern
This cavern was dug out over a period of 4 game years, and a floodgate system set up to allow 3 branches of the river to flow into it. All the structures inside were dug out of the rock, and so far there has only been one massive flood caused by accidental cave ins. Until the lower levels were complete these upper levels had door ways that are now filled in. - Brown Moses
Δ 15. Main entrance corridor
This was the first thing dug, originally extending out past the towers. Until the main cavern was complete this was the main sleeping area for the dwarfs. - Brown Moses
Δ 14. Dining area
The dining area, with the meeting room on the bottom floor, near the kennels and butcher shops. - Brown Moses
Δ 14. Lava Pipe
- Brown Moses
Δ 14. Workshops
This area contains the majority of my workshops and storage. Finished goods are placed between the workshops and trade depot to reduce travel time. - Brown Moses
Δ 13. Quarters Waterfall
If my dwarfs ever get moody over seeing their children being torn apart by goblins I can turn on this relaxing waterfall, place so every dwarf has to walk through it before they go to bed. - Brown Moses
Δ 12. Bedrooms
The west side houses the various nobles, with the poorer people living next to the shop. - Brown Moses
Δ 12. Drained rooms
Major flooding occured here when a cave in punctured the room and immediatly flooded the brown floored areas with 7/7 water. Also note the lunancy of buildings farms with 3 levels of water along side it. - Brown Moses
Δ 12. Farms
My first attempt at creating artifical underground farms, and the first time I learnt what happens when 3 layers of water try to move through a freshly dug hole. After this I dug much larger drains. - Brown Moses
Δ 12. Food production
The first proper production facilities I built, with the new lay out of farms, workshops and dining areas it's actually quite efficent. - Brown Moses
Δ 11. The Water Prison
Inspired by Silent Hill 4, a prison which allows for each cell to be flooded by water. Connecting the hatches for this one took forever, and I've still not built all the cages. - Brown Moses
