I haven't played this fort in a couple months but I've always felt like I ought to export it and put it up on DFMA. I did some lovely experiments in this fort. I stopped playing when there was a tantrum spiral after I threw too many children into the magma. I actually might have been pretty close to riding it out successfully, I just lost interest, and started playing other forts.
This is the fort where I...
...learned about burning coal blocks in iron bins.
...gave every dwarf a luxurious suite of rooms.
...first intensively micromanaged mood materials to make artifacts out of only the most valuable stuff, by giving all moodable workshops either a drop chute or an airlock.
...first micromanaged dwarf skills to make all the farmers and such dabblers in one of the metalworking skills. It worked pretty well, I got a full set of legendary smiths.
...perfected systems for flinging immigrants, nobles, and children into the magma vent.
...made my first tower-cap farm.
My first ever tower-cap farm. It's not terribly sophisticated. First, the big room on this level was flooded, then the water was dumped into a drainage collection room to be pumped back into the reservoir.
Then I dug a second part of the farm to the south, where I dug out every level down to the drainage level, and put in hatches so that the water would flood every level on the way down. - Kanddak
