Relicsteel - 208 Mid Summer by gades1313

Map Description:

My 5th or 6th Fortress. Still a work-in-progress with projects uncompleted. With a name like Relicsteel steel should be in abundance in the fortress, yet alas I have yet to find any iron ore. All iron has come from Goblins thus far, and besides some suits of armor, steel production hasn't been a priority.

Point of Interest: The Farm

The farming area. Two big plots for plump helmets, as well as four small farms for other underground plants. The main food stockpile is in the center along with the booze stockpile. My legendary dining room is to the northeast, yet this is to be supplanted by a new, grander dining room sometime in the future - gades1313

I like some of the perimeter concepts here - having a large valley all to yourself, for example, where you can farm trees with impunity. That's pretty cool!

When digging out your obsidian farm, use ramps instead of channels. You should be able to just designate the whole thing to be mined out in one go, versus doing single lines of channel designations.

Points of Interest

Δ 19. Magma Production Area
Here the magma pipe to the right was utilized to power my magma production industry. Starting from the right are my four smelters. These are constantly in use due to the abundance of copper and zinc ore, as well the melting down of enemy iron gear. Close by are wood furnaces for charcoal, and an ashery. Next are the four magma forges. These also are used constantly. Finally there is the four glass furnaces. Stockpiles for the furnaces are either are a level below. - gades1313
Δ 19. Original Entrance
The original entrance to the Fortress. As the Main Entranceway is still under construction, this entrance will continue to stay in use. The barracks are to the left along with the archery range. They too however are to be moved to the Main Entranceway. The stairway directly north is the original main shaft downways. No enemy has ever passed over the entrance into the Fortress proper. - gades1313
Δ 19. The Old Bridge and Killing Field
The Old Bridge was originally the only way up to the plain that held the fortress entrance. Traders and besiegers then had to pass through the narrow path before entering the heart of the plain. In the event of a siege, the bridge was raised to allow the military time to get into position, then lowered allowing the enemy access. Once a good-sized amount crossed, the bridge was again raised, trapping the enemy. My champions then usually engaged in a slaughter. - gades1313
Δ 18. The Farm
The farming area. Two big plots for plump helmets, as well as four small farms for other underground plants. The main food stockpile is in the center along with the booze stockpile. My legendary dining room is to the northeast, yet this is to be supplanted by a new, grander dining room sometime in the future - gades1313
Δ 17. Main Entranceway
Still under-construction, this is to be the Main Entranceway. The Brass bridge is to lead into a courtyard. The Barracks is to be placed to the right. Further north is the Gold Bridge which will lead into the Fortress. To the left is to be the Traders Tunnels. - gades1313
Δ 17. Stockpiles
Various stockpiles here. Stone and wood furniture are in two separate stockpiles. - gades1313
Δ 16. Obsidian Factory
This is the obsidian factory. Magma is pumped from the pipe below, while water is collected by means of a floodgate a few levels above. The water is collected on a bridge, and once a few levers are pulled the water falls onto the magma and produces obsidian. All standard really, just followed the layout on the wiki. The workshops are to the right and pump out obsidian blocks. They will be used in the building of the King's Castle. - gades1313
Δ 16. Workshop Facilities
A level below my stockpiles are the workshop facilities. All the main ones are here: craft, mason, carpenter, siege, clothing, gems, and mechanisms. The four inner doorways were supposed to enable me to supervise strange moods and ensure the use of only the best materials. I never actually got around to doing this however, and the dwarfs make what they will. - gades1313
Δ 2. Apartment Complex
The idea is for each large square to be a plaza for the four apartment buildings surrounding it. These buildings would go up 3 z-levels, and all the area surrounding them is to be channeled out, so the structures are free-standing. Thats work for the future though as the ground-floor isn't even done for all the buildings yet. - gades1313
Δ 2. Noble's Quarters
Home for the nobility. Clockwise, here are the dwellings of the Mayor, the Broker/Recordkeeper, the Manager and the Tax Collector. The Tax Collector and the Mayor have a second story, which are to have glass windows installed so they can look out to the (not yet constructed) statue park and zoo to the north. - gades1313
Δ 1. The Mausoleum
The still under construction resting place for most famous dwarfs of the fortress. This includes the Founders, the nobles as well as distinguished military dwarfs. The chamber to the far north is reserved for the King. - gades1313
Δ 1. The Tombs
The final resting place for the non-noble dwarfs. Still much work ahead such as floor-engraving as well as markings to high-light the slain militray dwarfs - gades1313
