Laborfords - 213 Mid Autumn by Lielac

Map Description:

My second-longest-lived fortress, and my current favorite. Contains such amusements as a Happy Fun Death Pit for invaders/elves/traders, a magma tube in the first cavern, and an actual daycare for my beardlings. Also, grizzly bears.

Point of Interest: The power factory

( 213 Early Spring → onwards )

19 waterwheels on the brook make for a lovely 1900 power. I, unfortunately, don't have an aquifer to exploit on this map, but I'm sure I'll figure out dwarven water reactors if I ever need more power than I have. - Lielac

ey
This is what a dwarven fortress should look like!

Magnificent and mysterious, a masterpiece.

edit: Not so mysterious, but simplified in greatness.

Impressive.

I especially like the bedroom layer and the death trap.

Δ 48. The power factory

¶ 48. The Wagon

( 201 Early Spring to onwards )
Though none of the original seven dwarves remain (Aban, the woodcutter, went berserk after a failed mood in 207 and had to be put down; Erith and Sarvesh, the stonecrafter/bonecarver and farmer respectively, died in minecart accidents in 212 and 215; Shem and Endok and Melbil and... the last guy?? died in the Great Tantrum Spiral and Armokian Wrath of 240-241), and Laborfords was alive for 40 years, I never got around to deconstructing the wagon. At this rate, I might as well enshrine it. (As of Spring 215, I have.) - Lielac
Δ 47. HFDP "Roof"

( 201 Early Summer to onwards )
(The earliest map of this fort has the designations already assigned.)
This is the Happy Fun Death Pit's prime attraction; the heart-stopping, bone-crunching fall starts here! A visitor steps on one of the pressure plates, moves onto one of the bridges, and promptly falls 10 z-levels onto the cobaltite floor of the HFDP. Fun for the whole family! - Lielac
Δ 43. Actual Daycare

( 205 Early Spring to onwards )
I mean, I guess I could torture my beardlings in here, but I'd need to lock the doors.
(While the room has been dug out since some time in 204, it only became the Daycare in 208.) - Lielac
Δ 37. Happy Fun Death Pit

( 202 Early Spring to onwards )
A must-have for any of my forts. It contains corpses, occasionally weeping goblins/elves/humans, and will eventually get regular magma baths. The bridge to the right (if visible) is made of pitchblende. - Lielac
34. First Cavern

( 208 Early Spring to onwards )
I have this under control, but not until spring of 211. - Lielac
Δ 34. The Waiting Room

( 210 Early Spring to onwards )
This is the only entrance into the first cavern on the map, so any creatures that enter it have to go here. It's got cage traps for any non-TRAPAVOID creatures, and a drawbridge to hold in any uninvited guests while I get things ready for them. The table next to the support is an artifact, for the purposes of attracting said uninvited guests. - Lielac
33. Magma workshops

( 208 Early Spring to onwards )
Every good fortress needs some of these, and I have just the thing to power them. - Lielac
29. Second Cavern

( 212 Early Spring to onwards )
As of Spring 215, not fully revealed and completely untouched. Also, there's a single FB in there. - Lielac
24. Third Cavern

( 212 Early Spring to onwards )
As of Spring 215, completely untouched and empty of uninvited guests. - Lielac
47. Farming

( 202 Early Spring to onwards )
9 above ground crops, 6 underground crops, and more plants than I know what to do with. Yay! - Lielac
46. Pigs, bears, and (eventually) minecart physics

( 206 Early Spring to onwards )
The good thing about non-grazers is that I don't need to store them on grass.
After I dug out some magnetite, I decided (in 213) to use this area for testing minecart tracks as well. - Lielac
8. Semi-Molten Rock

( 208 Early Spring to onwards )
As of early spring 215, I have not revealed anything past this level. - Lielac
42. Dining Hall

( 202 Early Spring to onwards )
Where the dwarves eat. Nothing special, really. Okay, there are levers. And the things that look like nest boxes with green eggs are a modded-in "workshop" called a display case that I use to show off otherwise useless artifacts. - Lielac
40. Mass graves

( 204 Early Spring to onwards )
Peasants' remains go here. Really, everybody's remains will end up here. I don't segregate. They're all expendable. - Lielac
39. Sleeping quarters layer

( 205 Early Spring to onwards )
Yeah, that's 92x92 worth of bedrooms. Yes, they're all 3x3. - Lielac
