Two years have passed in Lanternattacks.
The food quarter was finished in early spring, and everything moved in. Shortly after that, i commenced work on an area for rock and wood crafting, and it was finished mid summer.
Next, i started to plan out my living area's to the north. My current plan is to have a relicrags like hallway, but on a much taller scale.
Before i went much further, i decided that i was going to flatten off the land in front of my fort and make it a sheer cliff. Because that might interfere with my hallway plans, i started to dig out the outline of the new cliff. This was finished by late autumn.
When Winter arrived, so did the Orcs. Three squads, one of them armed mostly with bows and lead by a fearsome elite boworc. Thankfully, they stayed away from my main entrance, allowing my operations to continue unaffected.
During the Winter i started smelting ore and creating some sets of Armour for my new full time military, which was aided greatly by the chance discovery and full exploitation of a lignite vein.
( 305 Early Spring → 305 Mid Spring )
Still an open air courtyard, and still the home of the smithing operations. The lignite vien to the southwest was a chance (and rather useful, given that I was under siege) find. I've got 5 soldiers in training pumping away to gain states, and when I make the draft i'll also add in 3 of my miners who are much to good at leaving stones around to be mining out my living areas.
Each of those 7 levers is hooked up to every single one of those 21 supports. And the mechanic is legendary. - sneakeypete

Looking good, I like the layout and spacing of the rooms below the food depot, the gaps in the layers for small workshops, very compact and clear.
I also approve of the excavation of the cliff - a good way to designate a large block of stone to be removed without scarring the landscape.

Nicely done. I like the natural cave entrance look. Very dwarf-like.
