Year One - The initial construction of the first pod is complete, capable of housing 28 dwarfs, in rather cramped positions. I'm currently setting up the water for the underwater farms, I'm going to use a murky pool to stop the water flooding the fortress rapidly. Next up I'm going to spend time detailing the fortress them I'm moving onto the second pod.

Very interesting pod design, looks great from the side, got a load of stone to clear out though - found it hard to follow the positions of the stairs between levels.

Yeah, the stairs were a bit all over the place, mainly because of the positioning of the trade depot. I'm going to build a second pod because one pod can only really realistically hold about 30 dwarfs. I might also make the second pod much larger, and have the middle level at ground level, and build constructions on top to complete a pyramid.

I can't help but be reminded of the Forward Observation Pods from the game Aliens versus Predator 2. Not that being suspended a few hundred meters aboveground in an isolated gorge helped them. Turned out that the supports the Pods were hanging from could be used by xenomorphs as an infiltration route. Needles to say, but the Pods were overrun within the hour.
