Guildlashed - 255 Early Autumn by Tiogshi

Map Description:

A mini-fortress, made using the 1x1 Fortress hack. Turned out surprisingly well; found a decent vein of each gold and silver, although only 40 or so tiles of hematite, and no other valuable metals.

Point of Interest: Descent Tour: 9

And last of all, the deep mines. This is -15, the lowest level accessible to my dwarves, and here is where I've started the graveyards. The three Tombs as demanded by my nobles (you'll see two encrusted rock pendants in my Count's tomb here; god I wish he was in it too, so he'd stop demanding Electrum items be made).

Also here is the only surviving wildlife on the map. I had a very proficient hunter who immigrated in the second year, and all surface life just stopped showing up two years after that. In that time, he and his two war dogs slew over 50 deer, 15 wolves, 5 cougars, 4 bears (and a partridge in a pear tree). I've tried dropping rocks on this guy's head from the surface, but he seems content to just sit here and look menacing. Hasn't moved a single tile since those six fire imps (now long dead) mutually wiped out nearly all of my starting dwarves. - Tiogshi

These nanoforts are always so CUTE.

I'm a little surprised you're storing so many bones (and in such inefficient storage space) with such little real estate to work with. Paranoid about moody dwarf requests?

Yeah, nearly every fort I start I lose at least one would-be Legendary Engraver or Metalworker to a lack of shells or bones.

As for bone efficiency, I use the 50% pattern for bone storage because miasma only travels cardinally, so any bad stink stays contained in its 1x1 "cell". Results in fewer unhappy thoughts during trips to the refuse heaps, which was a big deal on this fortress because of the very high efficiency of my first hunter; see the PoI "Descent Tour: 9".

Yes yes I see. If you aren't above quantum dumping, you could always dump diagonally down a 1 z-level pit zoned for waste disposal and keep all your bones/shells/skulls there.

Do you only see a blank space?
