Prairiekeys, A Desert Outpost - 313 Mid Summer by roundedge

Map Description:

Something I've been casually playing on and off for a bit. For the longest time I'd had ~80 dwarves and I could not figure out why, until I remembered I had a population cap on. I think I'm going to redesign some of the architecture, specifically on the top middle part. The goal is to create an outdoor village around the central fortress, filled with housing complexes, bars, churches, zoos etc.

Point of Interest: Magma Prison

Despite what the image displays, those cages are all full of goblins. I understand it's barely a feat, what with how easy it is to cage goblins. But I intend to link all those cages to a lever, and then simulate a jail break. Champions will be throwing goblins into magma, guaranteed. All those levers are connected to bridges to cross the magma moat - roundedge

Magnificent fort. Nice overall design, epic by my standards.

Truly a terrific fort. It probably took you quite a while to designate all those diagonals and circular shapes.

It's glorious!I mean it...Truly glorious!

Awesome. I love circles.

Spectacular.

Do you not have temperature turned on?
I noticed nothing seems to be melting in your magma.

Points of Interest

Δ 15. Local Bar
In the center of downtown Prairiekeys is the famous Soggybeard Pub. Look at those happy dwarves out on the dance floor. A healthy row casks of bullmax strongbeer lines the bar. - roundedge
Δ 15. What lies beyond
I don't know what happened when I used the map converter, but apparently just beyond the edge of dwarven reality is an endless wall of dead goblins - roundedge
Δ 13. blockworks
We make stone blocks here. That's right, all the colours of the rainbow. - roundedge
Δ 12. Penetrating the Magma Pipe
While the magma levels were down from filling the magma chamber, I took the chance to build some walkways, for efficiency. It was a harrowing undertaking, with magma splashing up on all sides while dwarves raced against the clock. - roundedge
Δ 11. The Clothworks
What a mess this place is! It's mostly been abandoned, but I should probably get it started up again, my dwarves are probably in pretty piss poor condition fashion wise. Dyes and thread come from the food-processor to the right, and then are fashioned into garments. Does anyone know how to make a clothing stockpile that does not include narrow and large clothing? - roundedge
Δ 11. The food processor
This thing is EFFICIENT. Outdoor and indoor plant types are grown on levels 14 and 13. Raw produce is stored on level 12, which is then processed on level 11, processed produce is moved directly beneath the cooks, which make 30,000 zorkmid roasts which are then stored on level 10. current food stock: 13000 other, 6000 drink. I've mostly stopped production for the past few years so we can all focus on construction. - roundedge
Δ 4. Entrance to Catacombs
For the past 13 years this fortress has been guarded by 8 lone champions. their tombs line the entrance to the catacombs. So far one has died. I intend to make some new recruits when I get some immigrants - roundedge
Δ 2. magma chamber with ziggurat
This took a while to carve out, but I'm pleased with it. Imagine a shallow circular step pyramid rising out of the magma, supporting the core of the fortress, with rivers of magma flowing down its sides. - roundedge
Δ 1. Catacombs
Self explanatory. The layer below is slowly being filled with skulls of all types, but mostly goblin skulls. - roundedge
Δ 1. Magma Prison
Despite what the image displays, those cages are all full of goblins. I understand it's barely a feat, what with how easy it is to cage goblins. But I intend to link all those cages to a lever, and then simulate a jail break. Champions will be throwing goblins into magma, guaranteed. All those levers are connected to bridges to cross the magma moat - roundedge
