Stormcraft - 1051 Early Summer by Markavian

Map Description:

Summer has arrived, the sturdy dwarves have busied themselves preparing food and tools and for farming. Mining excavations have revealed a vast underground cavern, but with no way down the expedition leader has suggested that further investigation be halted until defenses and armor can be built.

Good supplies of wood, bitumous coal, and hematite suggest metal smithing should be the next goal after food.

Point of Interest: Starting Farms

( 1051 Early Summer → onwards )

Two plots, underground and overground have been dug out and flooded for the purpose of growing food to feed the fort. Two manually operated pumps allow water to be put in and taken back out of the plots. - Markavian

I see things are progressing nicely here... hehe, I just realized your trade depot room is basically overlooking the caves. Knock down the walls and install some windows? :P

I guess that's the next step, yeup, currently I'm running around trying keep everyone busy and fed. I want to replace the mud wall layers with stone foundations before I dig too deep.

Wait, so I'm not the only one with a Trogoldyte problem?

This calls for magma.

Also, are you going to smooth your floors, or are you going to just leave them like that?

Usually I don't smooth floors until I need to increase the value of the fort. Keeps the average value of rooms down as well.

Just had my military go beserk on me after starving themselves to death, thinking about restarting to try some new designs.
