Redpages - 1052 Early Spring by FunkyWaltDogg

Map Description:

I made pretty good progress on the fort during the first year, but other than the three raccoons that ran inside when I made a hole to the outdoors while building the dining room, nothing exciting happened. I guess I should be careful what I wish for, though...

Point of Interest: Main entrance

( 1052 Early Spring → onwards )

To construct this entrance, I built floors out into open space just barely in range of the eastern cliff, installed the two retractable microcline bridges to get to the wall, dug out a bit of space, and then built the primary drawbridge.
In the future this is going to be the first of several military checkpoints, but right now it's serving as a temporary home for furniture storage, sleeping quarters, dining area, and several industries including metals and carpentry.
The room with the notches in the walls will hopefully be used to display artifacts.

The aqueduct is cool, not seen one of those in a while :)

Thanks! Since these shots were taken, I've constructed a "dwarfduct" in close to the same position on the fortress levels so that I can go mining on the west side, and hopefully find a decent supply of an ore of something other than silver.

Points of Interest

Δ 157. Tunnel access

( 1052 Early Spring to onwards )
The tunnel that starts here leads to the fort's only entrance, for now at least. - FunkyWaltDogg
Δ 156. Temporary farming

( 1052 Early Spring to 1053 Early Summer )
I knocked a hole in the side of a pool for irrigation, then drained the water over the cliff.
Despite appearances, the section of the entrance tunnel you can see here is not farmed; that's a rough schist road. - FunkyWaltDogg
Δ 154. Food stockpiles
The very first thing I did after starting this tunnel was to carry all my food and booze into it. The new food storage area is nearly done, but for now it's filling the halls on several levels here.
They're gone now, but I actually had beds for my initial seven crammed into the tunnel one level up from here! - FunkyWaltDogg
Δ 152. Trade Depot

( 1052 Early Spring to onwards )
Later on the depot will be located in the fort proper, but it's right here for the moment. - FunkyWaltDogg
¶ 150. Main entrance

( 1052 Early Spring to onwards )
To construct this entrance, I built floors out into open space just barely in range of the eastern cliff, installed the two retractable microcline bridges to get to the wall, dug out a bit of space, and then built the primary drawbridge.
In the future this is going to be the first of several military checkpoints, but right now it's serving as a temporary home for furniture storage, sleeping quarters, dining area, and several industries including metals and carpentry.
The room with the notches in the walls will hopefully be used to display artifacts.

Δ 149. Bedrooms

( 1052 Early Spring to onwards )
I think I'm going to put in some windows for the rooms at the cliff's edge. - FunkyWaltDogg
Δ 149. Checkpoint 2

( 1052 to onwards )
I'm thinking of putting the depot here. - FunkyWaltDogg
Δ 149. Checkpoint 3

( 1052 Early Spring to onwards )
Quarters for the soldiers here are one level down. - FunkyWaltDogg
Δ 149. Primary food service

( 1052 Early Spring to onwards )
My soon-to-be lavishly decorated dining room is to the left; quite a few of those dark grey tiles are constructed floors over soil. Food processing is in the L-shaped room with the stockpile, and the slightly smaller room to the right will be farms once I sort out how to irrigate it.
The area that has been designated but not dug out may end up as part of a pumping operation, if I decide the best way to get water to the farm is from below. - FunkyWaltDogg
Δ 133. Carp intelligence test
I didn't even notice this mess until I'd uploaded the map. I definitely had carp when I started... I guess I have fewer carp now. - FunkyWaltDogg
