Points of Interest

• Δ 172. Cavern Hatch
  There is a hatch over this cavern that is controlled by a lever in the dining hall.
  
  I dug this cavern almost straight after embark so I would know how much vertical space I had to work with before hitting the first cavern. - ButterflySammy
• ¶ 172. Initial embark entrance

  ( 254 Mid Winter to onwards )
  A fairly simple entrance so that I could throw it together quickly.
  
  There is no roof and it was not meant to keep enemies out for long.
  
  I haven't actually been closing the drawbridge when I get attacked. - ButterflySammy

• Δ 172. Support

  ( 254 Mid Winter to onwards )
  This support is the only thing holding this area up.
  
  It is controlled by a leaver in the courtyart, I will collapse the whole hill for fun once it is all mined out. - ButterflySammy

• Δ 171. Real Entrance

  ( 254 Mid Winter to onwards )
  I added retracting drawbridges (as they take up no space, do not act as a wall to hide behind and cannot be destroyed when retracted) along the bottom so that my dwarves can enter the fortress quickly in times of peace.
  
  Retracting them forces enemies to go around the spiral where archers can shoot at them from the adjacent room through the fortifications and traps will kill/catch them. - ButterflySammy

• Δ 170. Food + Drink Production / Leather Tanning

  ( 254 Mid Winter to onwards )
  Keeping everything close together so that nothing perishable needs to move very var. Located in a clay layer so that I did not need to irrigate it. - ButterflySammy

• Δ 170. Underground tree farm & pasture

  ( 254 Mid Winter to onwards )
  So that nothing needs to be outside. - ButterflySammy

• Δ 169. Barracks / Archery Range

  ( 254 Mid Winter to onwards )
  I only just started developing this area. - ButterflySammy

• Δ 168. First floor of standard bedrooms

  ( 254 Mid Winter to onwards )
  Bedrooms for the rank and file.
  
  Needs chests / cabinets. - ButterflySammy

• Δ 168. Walkway Pit

  ( 254 Mid Winter to onwards )
  Anything that dodges on the walkway above will fall into here and take some (but not fatal) damage.
  
  It isn't deeper and has a set of stairs because dwarves also fall in and I like to be able to patch them up. - ButterflySammy

• Δ 165. This guy!

  ( 254 Mid Winter to onwards )
  This guy isn't special - he was just unhappy so I assigned him to a bedroom with some extra stuff. - ButterflySammy

• Δ 161. Hospital

  ( 254 Mid Winter to onwards )
  - ButterflySammy

• Δ 161. Noble Bedroom Level

  ( 254 Mid Winter to onwards )
  - ButterflySammy

• Δ 160. Dining Hall

  ( 254 Mid Winter to onwards )
  The bottom stockpile is filled with prepared booze and food only to prevent rot.
  
  The statues keep everyone happy and the well in the north will fill up shortly, a stones throw from the hospital as the sick need this.
  
  All the levers are in here because there is always someone here in a fortress of 180 dwarves and because feeding dwarves isn't optional I'm guaranteed that if I use an alert to burrow them indoors, I've restricted them to an area where they can get to them.
  
  During alerts, there are always a lot more idle dwarves here to operate the bridges. - ButterflySammy

• Δ 159. Wood stockpile

  ( 254 Mid Winter to onwards )
  The entire fortresses supply of wood.
  
  As you can see from above ground, I went through a lot.
  
  Most of this was purchased from the last caravan except the coloured logs which are underground trees that have sprouted in my fortress. - ButterflySammy

• Δ 158. Stockpile Layer

  ( 254 Mid Winter to onwards )
  Weapons, Armour, Cloth, Leather, Finished Goods and Furniture.
  
  The irregular walls are where I chased veins of gold. - ButterflySammy

• Δ 157. Burial Chamber

  ( 254 Mid Winter to onwards )
  I don't like ghosts. - ButterflySammy

• Δ 156. Workshop Layer

  ( 254 Mid Winter to onwards )
  All the workshop layers generally follow this layout:
  
  3 of a kind to each of the cardinal directions, North, East, South and West.
  
  It allows me to churn out a lot quickly and means that I'll always be able to work when someone gets a mood.
  
  I also have 2 jewelers on this floor because they seem to fit the theme and I don't quite need 3. - ButterflySammy

• Δ 152. Clothes and Cloth Production Layer

  ( 254 Mid Winter to onwards )
  I added this last because up until now I was just buying in what I need. - ButterflySammy

• Δ 150. Extra Storage Layers

  ( 254 Mid Winter to onwards )
  Apart from the soap blocks which are used by the hospital(it maintains its own stock anyway), everything here is close to where it is needed, except the furniture, I was just running out of space.
