Firethrone - 203 Mid Winter by erdtirdmans

Map Description:

Moving along quite well. Got the key rooms carved out. Just need to get the military going so that I can move above ground and start building the walls and ramparts that will make this a fortress of legend.

Point of Interest: 2-Floor Mess Hall

This is the mess hall, where dwarves come to make a mess. And eat.

Note that it is two floors, despite that being irrelevant to dwarves. Also, note that the staircases continue straight down from the food and booze stockpile. - erdtirdmans

I want to see this when it's done

The slow crawl of magma flow and a tantrum spiral have severely delayed things, but i'll be sure to post an updated map when it's ready.

(over 200 coffins at the moment... i officially have more dead dwarves than live ones!)

Points of Interest

23. Demolished Shelf B

( 203 Mid Winter to 205 Late Autumn )
The other shelf that you saw in the demo video was here. It was much smaller, and I only needed to shave like 15 tiles off to protect my farm. - erdtirdmans
22. Demolished Shelf A

( 203 Mid Winter to 205 Late Autumn )
This was one of the destroyed andesite shelves of land that you see in the demolition video. I had to zoom it this far out just to give you a sense of its side.

In case it wasn't clear in the video, I had to cut out a donut hole before collapsing it because otherwise it would have shot through my farm's ceiling and eliminated the dark subterranean tiles I need for half my crops. - erdtirdmans
22. Interim Trade Depot

( 202 Early Autumn to 203 Mid Winter )
Just plopped a Trade Depot where I could. It's clearly not the best spot, but it works for now. - erdtirdmans
Δ 20. Dried up Lakes
As you can tell, the lakes to the east, west, and south were the water source for my farm plots and well. Make a few mistakes here and there, forget to designate multiple pit-pond zones, and watch yourself waste so much water to evaporation that you dry out 2 lakes completely. - erdtirdmans
21. Imush's Last Stand

( 202 Early Autumn to onwards )
This is where I decided Imush was running way too far to ever survive and recruited him into the military. The logic was that I could station him back in the fortress where he'd be safe from the undead. The reality? He decided that, as a military man, he could fight them.

He was beaten mercilessly by zombie mountain goats.

Somehow, we recovered his corpse. Mega-project memorial, anyone? - erdtirdmans
¶ 20. Interim Well
Because I can't go above ground yet, this is a well for the interim. - erdtirdmans
19. Industrial Floor

( 202 Early Autumn to onwards )
The workshop floor, divided into four sections.

Roughly left to right
NW (Wood and stone): Bowyer, Mason, Jeweler, Carpenter, Craftsdwarf, Wood Furnace
N: Kennel
NE (Cloth & Leather) Mechanic (somewhat out of place, but still not far. The NW wing expands too fast for Mechanics to go there as well), Leatherworker, Dyer, Loom, Tanner, Clothier
SW Bars and Blocks: Craftsdwarf, Ashery, Magma Glass Furnace, Magma Kiln, Magma Smelter, Magma Forge
S: Siege Workshop
SE Food: Butcher, Butcher, Quern, Fishery, Air lock to Bone, Corpse, Shell and Hide Stockpile, Kitchen, Still, Farmer's
E: Seed Stockpile next to stairs to Farm and Greenhouse

* The 3x4 rooms around the middle are for a stacked screw pump waterfall assembly. They are not going to be workshops - erdtirdmans
18. Stockpiles, top floor

( 202 Early Autumn to onwards )
The top floor of the stockpiles, positioned conveniently below their relevant workshops.

NW: Wood
N: Animal (forgot to mark it in 202 Autumn)
NE: Cloth, Leather, and Dye
SW: Bar-Block and Sand
SSW: Magma channel, both for the functionality of the workshops above and for the dump chute on the Trade Depot level
S: Siege Parts & Arrowheads (forgot to mark it in 202 Autumn)
SE: WeaponTrap, Ammo, and Armor - erdtirdmans
17. Stockpiles, bottom floor

( 202 Early Autumn to onwards )
Floor 2 of the Stockpiles, conveniently located under the relevant workshops.

NW: Gem, Economic Stone
NE: Furniture, except Barrels and Siege Parts and Ammo
SW: Finished Goods
SE: Barrels and Food, except Dye and Seeds - erdtirdmans
Δ 15. 2-Floor Mess Hall
This is the mess hall, where dwarves come to make a mess. And eat.

Note that it is two floors, despite that being irrelevant to dwarves. Also, note that the staircases continue straight down from the food and booze stockpile. - erdtirdmans
20. Access Shaft

( 202 to 204 )
Managed to save the dwarves from a massacre by roving bands of undead by having them build this access shaft down from the surface and then sealing it off. As you can see north of here, it also served as a temporary refuse pile.
But most importantly: it gave me peace of mind while I meticulously carved out the fortress according to my pre-drawn plans. I know losing is fun, but so is making a 14-level castle that you spent days designing and tweaking. - erdtirdmans
20. Future Farm and Giant Dig designation

( 202 to 204 )
This is what will be the farm & greenhouse. Right now, it's a massive stockpile. The fill chamber north of the farm serves as a combined bedroom-dining hall for the time being.

The giant dig designation west of the farm is just a marker for the size of my blueprints. I have no plans to build a room that big. Ever. - erdtirdmans
Δ 14. Noble Dorms and Barracks

( 203 Mid Winter to onwards )
A cross-shaped design featuring the King's room to the left, a Barracks to the right, and noble housing everywhere in between. - erdtirdmans
