Points of Interest

• Δ 24. Main Well

  ( 210 to 300 )
  Reservoir Top-side is the home to the main well, allowing access to a clean water supply year-round. The well is constructed from gold block and gcs silk rope. - azemute

• Δ 24. Power generation proof-of-concept
  The waterwheels feeding off the internal river were built as a proof of concept. Even though the wood use was immeasurable [no beds had yet been built in the entire history of the fort when they were put into place] their importance was deemed high enough to see their construction.
  
  They've been left active since construction to ensure engineering was kept to the highest levels and their operation could be assured. - azemute
• Δ 23. Upper reservoir and river
  The upper reservoir gets water from a surface brook and passes through this corridor. Bridge-based gates control water flow, mostly to allow access to different parts of the water system if the need ever arose. - azemute
• Δ 22. Agri-Flood and purge system
  Each quadrant of the agriculture tier was designed to be filled and purged independently: a gate opens to the main reservoir allowing the pre-charge chamber to fill, when the corresponding floodgate was opened, the quad would fill, then the floodgate on the lower-side and outer hatch could be opened once the ground was fully saturated.
  
  Due to time constraints, the floodgates were never implemented, and the entire floor was filled instead.
  
  As you can see, the levers were already in place for this quadrant, though the floodgates were never installed. Plans progress, albeit at lower priority, to finish this project [if just for the sake of completeness]. - azemute
• Δ 22. Agri-Purge Corridor [Main]
  Instead of tainting the outer magma jacket, this water passthrough was designed: in the end, it will be covered and will allow evacuation of water for the complete floor. Chances are, some other channel will have to be designed for the other cardinal water purge channels if a particular quadrant ever needs to be flooded again [but not the whole floor]. - azemute
• Δ 22. Agricultural Level
  A complex floor flooding system was originally intended to be put in place here, but due to time constraints it's been only partly implemented.
  
  Plans are underway to finalize the system, and some initial testing has already been completed. - azemute
• Δ 22. Unforeseen assets
  An underground pool had not originally been in the search criteria for this fortress, though it had shown up on the finder before embarkation. Having not yet located it, I wasn't expecting tower-cap growth, yet here it is.
  
  Another boon is the population of yellow sand underneath their growth. Since this map had no sand originally, I plan on 'exploiting' this to the fullest. - azemute
• ¶ 18. Reservoir Bottom Hatch
  The keystone for the tower defense system is a retracting bridge set into the floor one Z-Level above the main Trade Dais. - azemute
• Δ 18. Reservoir Purge Switch
  Set apart from all other levers, this switch purges the reservoir. - azemute
• Δ 17. Goblin defense - Aftermath
  After a successful test of the purge system, some only partly-unforeseen consequences arose.
  
  Here, scattered amongst the boulders, you can see what was once the equipment that was sitting on the depot floor only a few days before. - azemute
• Δ 17. Primary Magma jacket
  As a second tier of defense, plans are developing to flood this area with magma. The main entrance will only be accessible by a pair of covered bridges going to a small entrance hut suspended within the magma jacket.
  
  Since plans are still in their infancy, the level of engineering required to pull this off may turn into a multi-decade endeavour. - azemute
• Δ 17. Trade Dais
  Standing on supports [not currently rigged to fall], the trade dais welcomes travelers from afar and defends the fortress against attacks. - azemute
• Δ 16. Main Barracks and Armory
  The main barracks is currently in shambles due to it's temporary construction. Eventually, this space will be divided into archery ranges and living quarters for the troops. Food and a dedicated dining hall will also be located on this floor, as well as the captain of the guard's office and mayor's offices. - azemute
• Δ 16. Temporary constuctions

  ( 200 to 299 )
  While main fortress constructions were underway, the establishment of temporary food storage and production was required. These small rooms housed the materials to fuel the main fortress construction.
  
  Originally there were plans to attach these existing facilities to the main fort, but the magma-jacket design will probably take precedence. - azemute

• Δ 16. Trade area floor grates

  ( 200 to 299 )
  Grated floors to the central trade area catch anything of value that might have been flushed in defense. - azemute

• Δ 15. Lower purge corridor and gate

  ( 200 to 299 )
  When closed, this gate contains all the water from the reservoir to assure any and all threats are neutralized. When released, any water in the main shaft is evacuated through the proceeding corridor and back into the existing river. - azemute
