Deepsink - 25 Early Spring by Tiogshi

Map Description:

Sited on an island on one of the fantastic archipelago world seeds in this thread.

Five years in, and not a single immigrant or caravan, as expected. Thanks to the fact I'm using the Dig Deeper mod, though, I have bountiful aboveground crops of hemp, eggplant, whip vine, and two kinds of cabbage.

I've modded dwarfs to produce litters to 1 to 3, instead of [MULTIPLE_LITTER_RARE], so I'll have a thriving population in about 20 or 30 years' time, assuming the one married couple start getting busy. I think I'm working them too hard; I reckon I actually need to give them an opportunity to both go to bed at the same time for that to happen. ;)

Point of Interest: Entry Monument

( 25 Early Spring → onwards )

Just because I'll never have traders or immigrants doesn't mean I'm allowed to shirk my dwarvenly responsibilities and not build a trade depot. I made an all-blocks trade center, with the depot on top and +Statues+ all over the place. - Tiogshi

Maybe a highway to the mainland a la Venice might be a good megaproject? Could possibly be done the same way as the intercontinental magma pipeline project; no idea if it'd make your island accessible to immigrants, though...

Δ 76. Pier

( 25 Early Spring to onwards )
I had to build a pier to find out it would never be used. Ah, well; according to the forums, it seems kind-of hit-and-miss which islands are accessible and which aren't after a pier has been built. I hope Toady has merchant boats planned for the next major revision; just a sort-of ocean-going wagon would be enough.
The sea foam is hiding one of the three statues here at the dockside; one is above, on the archway. - Tiogshi
Δ 65. Hall of Founders
The Hall of Founders. 7 statues of dwarves. Any questions?
Between this layer and the one above I've actually skipped five layers; because of the deep ocean cliffs, this map goes from altitude 24 to a ground level of 100, and then 15 levels of air above that, so I've got tons of room to spread out underground. Blowing 11 levels on descending from the entrance to this "old fort" entrance is 11 out of 79 depth levels I can exploit.
I really should have caught and set up a breeding pen for the groundhogs that were the local wildlife when I arrived. I've never seen an animal dropped 90 z-levels before. I might have to save my embark mule for that... - Tiogshi
Δ 65. Hall of Repose
My first finished-and-furnished bedroom area. All four of the outpier halls will have waterfalls down the center eventually, with a "drowning" statue right in the stream. You can see that set up here already. - Tiogshi
