Points of Interest

• 18. Expanded Storage

  ( 1074 Mid Summer to onwards )
  I've wound up expanding storage even more, and adding another Z-level to the wall around the aboveground section of the fort. Finally, I'm getting ahead of the clutter! - Sukasa

• 20. Suicide Tower

  ( 1076 Early Spring to onwards )
  Whenever I get bored, I'll finish this and use it to end the fort, assuming it doesn't get totalled by demons when I get around to/find them. - Sukasa

• 19. The latest project

  ( 1075 Mid Autumn to onwards )
  Getting rid of all the stone I've finally brought up to clean the fort's service areas up some more. That, and I need more space to store the stuff that's getting too big to trade away! - Sukasa

• 16. Birds-eye view

  ( 1051 Early Spring to onwards )
  An overhead view of the map. Man, this fort is (got) big! - Sukasa

• 16. The Newer watch point

  ( 1076 Early Spring to onwards )
  I had way too many goblin ambushes coming from this entrance, and after losing two dwarves I decided that some permanent lookouts were necessary.
  
  Just that, y'know, everyone is too busy with the dragon ATM. - Sukasa

• 18. The Guard Towers

  ( 1060 Late Summer to onwards )
  The forward guard towers, and the right one wraps around the side. I need to add a ceiling to the right one still, though. I figure I'll do that when I get around to adding more floors to the tower that it straddles. - Sukasa

• 12. Finished Noble Quarters

  ( 1074 Mid Summer to onwards )
  AFAIK, this rounds out by noble ranks, and just in time- the last batch of nobles filled their part of the fortress. Now I just have to trade enough gold to finish gold-plating the hallway. - Sukasa

• 12. King's Throne Room

  ( 1072 Early Summer to onwards )
  As soon as I finish sending enough tribute, this is where the king will be put up. Royal (checked the room rating), and made of about 14 different material types. - Sukasa

• 12. Map chamber

  ( 1072 Early Summer to onwards )
  Map Chamber for the king. Contains a detailed map of the surrounding countryside, and will also be his dining room, probably. Nothing like throwing ☼Donkey Meat Roast☼ into the "chasm" :P - Sukasa

• 11. Expanded Shopping Mall

  ( 1074 Mid Summer to onwards )
  The shopping mall's been expanded to include the base for a square. The image is eventualy going to be the civ symbol, a picture of a wave. - Sukasa

• 16. The Storage Tower

  ( 1060 Late Summer to onwards )
  A tower atop the power plant where I store stuff. Lots of wood, mostly, since I had three caravans with maximum wood. - Sukasa

• 14. Factory Control Unit

  ( 1069 Early Summer to onwards )
  A fun little hydro-mechanical control unit. Controls bridge and floodgate operation in the obsidian factory on the other side of the fort. Is far away from the fort and connected in a way that should prevent any water problems from doing more than preventing access to a small accessway to sections that aren't needed :P - Sukasa

• 14. Mayor's Rooms

  ( 1069 Early Summer to onwards )
  Two, shared with her husband. She has a bit of, um, a puzzlebox fetish - It would certainly explain why Tobul is always as far into the fortress' depths as possible. - Sukasa

• 14. Obsidian Factory

  ( 1067 Mid Summer to onwards )
  This is where I"ll be making my obsidian now. You can already see where everything is mostly going to go, all I have to do now is clean it up, mine out the ore and floor, wall in where the ore was, and make enough steel bars to actually build the bridges.
  
  Oh, and actually find enough bauxite mechanisms to build the bridges. - Sukasa

• 10. Safe House Access Control

  ( 1072 Early Summer to onwards )
  These three levers control water and floodgate states in the access tunnel. The upper lever controls the drain pump, the lower lever the fill pump. The central lever controls the floodgates. What I like is that it fill and drains from the bottom, and when filling it slowly (okay, medium speed) fills, one Z-level at a time. - Sukasa

• 11. Another Recreational Area

  ( 1076 Early Spring to onwards )
  I wanted a river with a nice flow.
  
  I got something I'm afraid to ever toss a cup of water in, for fear that the hundreds of levels of water that managed to get pumped into this *after* it was already full will reappear. Violently. - Sukasa

• 15. Entrance

  ( 1063 Early Summer to onwards )
  The entrance to the fort. Completely gobbo-proof, just pull up the drawbridge and open the double-floodgates, and NOTHING gets in.
  
  Not even an adventurer, though I DID manage to get into the flood wall. - Sukasa

• 15. Flood Walls

  ( 1056 Early Spring to onwards )
  These special walls are here as a future-proof goblin defense, and will at some point surround the entire fort. Basically, if you tear down the wall or knock out a floodgate, water pours out and effectively seals the breach, so it's effectively a 'self-repairing' wall. - Sukasa

• 15. Power Plant

  ( 1063 Early Summer to onwards )
  2400 units of power. I don't know what's worse- that my power plant is that large, or that I can still make it grind to a halt! - Sukasa

• 11. Shopping Mall Square

  ( 1076 Early Spring to onwards )
  A little square/meeting zone in the shopping mall. It's the symbol of my civ (a wave) with alternate colours on one of the waves. - Sukasa

• 16. The Machinery

  ( 1056 to onwards )
  This is the main distribution center for all the power produced from the river. There's a bit more above, and two floors down. - Sukasa

• 14. The Tombs

  ( 1060 Late Summer to onwards )
  The Mayor's tomb on top (clear glass), the Dungeon Master's on the bottom (green glass), and the mayor's husband in the hall. - Sukasa

• 15. The Prison

  ( 1056 Mid Winter to onwards )
  This is where we keep the unruly people.
  
  In other words it will /never/ get used, I'm sure. - Sukasa

• 12. Trader's Office

  ( 1069 Early Summer to onwards )
  Aban is lucky he doesn't have to conduct meetings anymore. It would be difficult to explain why he's single yet half his clothes are dresses.
  
  Dresses that other dwarves /need/ - Sukasa

• 14. Catacombs

  ( 1056 Mid Spring to onwards )
  The catacombs of the fort. This is where we keep the chi- dead bodies.
  
  it's also open to the air, which means it's effectively the fortress weak point... Until I get around to trapping it >:) - Sukasa

• 12. Dungeon Master's quarters

  ( 1060 Late Summer to onwards )
  At least she doesn't make retarded mandates (no exporting coffins? NO PROBLEM :D) - Sukasa

• 14. The Control Room

  ( 1056 Mid Spring to onwards )
  This is where all the machinery operations are conducted from. I haven't finished flooring it, since I haven't had a chance to order more Brimstone blocks in yet. eventually, it'll be red and yellow. Oh, the red floor is 100% Bauxite from the great hall excavation. - Sukasa

• 14. The underground residences

  ( 1056 Mid Spring to onwards )
  Basically where the first 35 people in the fort sleep. I haven't had any immigration in years, because my CPU can't handle that kind of stress (it sucks). - Sukasa

• 14. Those aren't workshops

  ( 1056 Mid Winter to onwards )
  I kinda figured out that putting workshops there was a bad idea... so it's a stockpile. I figure I might put the workshops on the same level as the admin office, or something. - Sukasa

• 15. Courtyard

  ( 1054 Mid Summer to onwards )
  The entrance courtyard, garbage heaps (from the goblins and kobolds) and trade depot. Fishery and river, too. - Sukasa

• 15. Food Storage, The Still, and the Dining room

  ( 1050 to onwards )
  That storage was full at one point.
  
  As of late 1056 The old Dining Room is no more. And the food storage contains over 2400 units of food.
  
  Somehow I think that'll last my 35 dwarves quite a while :P - Sukasa

• 15. Military Barracks

  ( 1050 to onwards )
  Start at the lower ballistae and follow the doors. Encompasses 5 rooms, 2 hallways, and a production cellar. The hallway also connects one of the two farms, an overpass to food storage, and doors to irrigation and The Compound. - Sukasa

• 6. The Drainage System

  ( 1064 Mid Spring to onwards )
  The drainage pipe. the last section is being excavated before we open the walls up, then it'll be ready. - Sukasa

• 15. The Farms

  ( 1050 to onwards )
  Both are decomissioned. I was out of space, so I had to compensate by leaving the fields fallow all year. Not like 1000 units of food is gonna run out anytime soon anyways. Heck, I can supply this fort with trade alone!
  
  As of 1056 the smaller farm is back in operation. - Sukasa

• 13. The Magma Factory

  ( 1057 Mid Summer to onwards )
  This is where the magma factory is- forges and furnaces along the bottom, and non-magma workshops along the middle and top. Contains a small access port to the stockpiles. - Sukasa

• 12. Administrator's Office

  ( 1056 Mid Winter to onwards )
  Mosus' office. She gets a nice new one because the fort's doing so well and I'm at the point where the fort is self-sufficient... except for clothing.
  
  None of these rooms have plumbing because none of these nobles make stupid requests.
  
  Heck, all I gotta do for the mayor is make green glass stuff and puzzleboxes every once and a while. The Dungeon Master doens't even bother making demands or mandates, and when she actually did, it was to not export coffins- which was fine, I wasn't making any anyways. - Sukasa

• 9. Food Expansion 3

  ( 1069 Early Summer to onwards )
  I needed to expand again, because the current facilities simply couldn't hold 18,000+ units of foodage. - Sukasa

• 5. Safe House

  ( 1072 Early Summer to onwards )
  Nicknamed the "Schistine Chapel", this is a specially-designed safe house for dwarves, still under construction. It's completely cut off from the rest of the fort except for the main entrance and a rear construction access to the generator a z-level or two below that's still being blocked off. - Sukasa

• 8. Backup Power plant

  ( 1067 Mid Summer to onwards )
  Not used for much other than as a starter for the Safe House's waterwheel generator, because that thing dies way too much. - Sukasa

• 4. Perpetual Motion power plant

  ( 1074 Mid Summer to onwards )
  producing a reliable 500 units of power (and sometimes up to 600-700 units), this plant operates the defense mechanisms for the safe house, and can only be accessed/controlled from there. Contains a mechanism with which it can be started from a flooded state, and all it needs to be complete is a flooding mechanism that can be used should the rest of the fort be compromised, and the generator out of water. - Sukasa

• 9. Great Hall

  ( 1056 Mid Spring to onwards )
  Almost fully finished in 1056. Just need to rewall the last bit there from Schist to Claystone.
  
  ...And complete the fountain, but that's another project for now. - Sukasa

• 6. The Coin Vault

  ( 1060 Late Summer to onwards )
  This is where I'll store the coins. They'll go in the building there.
  
  The level below, when properly set up, will be filled with magma, and I'll have a nice magma waterfall in the wide area.
  
  Add some defenses and traps, and it should be delightfully deadly (and hot!)
  
  By 1063, the vault is finished and partially filled. Those statues are all green glass, since my mayor likes that stuff. - Sukasa

• 7. Great Hall Fountain

  ( 1056 Mid Spring to onwards )
  Still being worked on in 1056. The PoI starts in the basin, with the fill pump to the left- pressurized and ready to activate. The entire system is finished and ready to turn on, but because of the magical falling water bug, if I turned it on as-is it would eventually overflow because as water falls is sporadically multiplies. Therefore, I'm setting up a sort of emergency drain system to deal with that- you can see the initial dig setup. Still have to design the accessways and such for the axels, but for the most part it's just gonna be branched off from the fountain pump connection. The lowest pump in the chain is hooked to a gearbox as a power switch of sorts for the fountain- shut it off the the supply to the rest of the chain goes as well. Clean and effective, in my opinion. - Sukasa
