My Fortress has faced starvatation and Dehydration several times this year, and has only been saved by convienient Traders turning up.I suspect this is because of my new idea of building a large light stone storage in the disused quarry in order to have enough stone close by for construction. I have given up the search for iron, as I suspect this area is devoid of it. Operation "Pump the cave river to a point under the Fortress so I can farm closer to it" has begun. Melting down all the ambush material has given me enough steel for 7 of the 10 Torso steel plate armour.

Where are you getting your stone from?

Theres a Quarry just to the north, It goes down several Z levels. That's mainly why the top level (the only one visible in this) Is completely devoid of stone.

You should get yourself a wall... if you get attacked, it won't look pretty.

Goblin Ambush came, tried to get in through the trade depot entrance and ran straight into my stack of legendary wrestlers.
Goblin Bone bolts, Anyone?

You mentioned a statue people live in... I am greatly intrigued by this.

Yeah, I kinda want to build some giant monument. But I'm not sure what. Currently I'm thinking of building a giant sword or something and then dividing it up into rooms. What I've started so far is "The Project" So it hasn't started very well.
Failing that, A Giant lava-cast obsidian Monolith. With smoothed walls. And stuff.
Edit: Hey I know, I'll make all these useless metals into blocks and forge a GIANT SWORD with golden statues on to symbolise those lost in battle defending the great Cavarnsmiths.
Also will give me some peasants to draft. Hopefully.
