Points of Interest

• Δ Cave River Bridges
  The top bridge and both wide bridges are connected to levers so bridge access can be cut to prevent siegers from getting in. But bridges sport guardrails to their south, to prevent floods from carrying dwarves away. Both are open at the north to allow drinking from the river.
  Notice how the levers are convinietly close so it will be easy to identify which does what. - Slartibartfast
• Δ Chasm Bridges
  These chasm bridges sport trendy guardrails.
  The top and bottom bridges are actually bridges that raise south and north respectively, and that have been raised. This is supposed to prevent chasm intruders from getting into the fortress.
  I intend to open these later on, after I'll put up some traps to repel them. - Slartibartfast
• Δ Commoners' Housing
  Simple and not too efficient. Each room is 4x1 so you can put a door, a coffer, a cabinet and a bed. Double wide corridors on both sides and in the middle to prevent crowding in the hallways. - Slartibartfast
• Δ Farm Flooding Zone
  Notice how the levers that operate the floodgates are both as close to the floodgate as possible, to easily identify which does what.
  I made a mistake here. The best way to design these places is to put a channel inside the area to prevent water spillage when flooding, and put the doors on the outer side so you can lock them to prevent accidetal drowings.
  In this case I put the doors inside and the channel outside, so it is unsafe.
  
  Another interesting thing about this spot is that you can see the floodgate that floods the tree farm, as well as the lever right next to the entrance to the tree farm that operates it. - Slartibartfast
• Δ Food Processing Zone
  As you can see, it is very close to the farming area, so planting and harvesting will be easier, it is also right next to the legendary dining room, so dwarves don't have to walk far to eat (or to take back seeds if eating those pesky little Plump Helmets).
  The food area boasts a still, a kitchen, a fishery and a farmer's workshop, as well as a barrelstockpile, for all your food processing needs - Slartibartfast
• Δ Front Barracks
  This barracks has fortifications that allow the dwarves inside to comfortably shoot at potential siegers.
  The archery targets are also placed for convinience, and are adjacent to ammo stockpiles for quick training. - Slartibartfast
• Δ Future Gravesite
  This is where everyone will be buried.
  The starry thing will be were the important dwarves lie. Less important dwarves will go to the lower star, even lowlier dwarves go to the center axe, and the rest is for the commoners.
  
  Sadly, a bug made that wierd black line crossing the burial grounds. - Slartibartfast
• Δ Future Noble Housing
  Room enough for twelve nobles.
  The outer corridor surrounding the housing area will contain a moat that could potentially be used for drowning pesky nobles.
  I might just fill up all of the corridors with moats and then cover them with bridges, so it will be possible to drown the bedrooms (which aren't accessible from the outer area), and for coolness.
  
  As you can see, its good that I'm checking how things work, because I fudged things up with that comments :X - Slartibartfast
• Δ Mini Fortress

  ( 1000 Early Spring to 2000 Late Winter )
  The long corridor with the double floodgates at the end was the first thing I built, the floodgates flood the corridor so you can farm in it. To the left of that door was a barracks for initial dwarves to rest in, as well as food stockpiles to prevent wild animals from stealing it from the wagons.
  The upper corridor with the copper ore in it was supposed to be the main fortress, until I found the river and saw it was impossible to set up a fortress there. - Slartibartfast

• Δ Refuse Zone
  A small refuse stockpile, right next to a craftsdwarf workshop, for making bone arrows mainly.
  Triple doors to avoid miasma spillage. - Slartibartfast
• Δ Running Man
  A nice little design of a man (or perhaps a dwarf?) in an interesting pose.
  This will be a Statue Garden later on. - Slartibartfast
• Δ Tree Farm
  A bit too big to fit in one screen, this area is flooded manually with a floodgate below. Also used for herbalism - Slartibartfast
• Δ Work Area
  A gigantic stockpile area that is adjacent to the different workshops that dump into it or take materials from it.
  Accidentaly ran into the chasm there, and I'm currently in the process of sealing the area until I get enough traps and manpower to handle chasm stuff. (all my fighting dwarves are still at dabbling skill) - Slartibartfast
