Points of Interest

• Δ 170. Incomplete Tower
  Currently, the outdoor is a total mess, with combination grazing pasture, statue garden meeting hall, and barracks. Construction has begun of a tower (of at least two floors) to house the meeting hall and barracks, but is not even close to completion, primarily because of laziness on the part of the fort's directorship. - apparentbliss
• Δ 169. Greenhouse (incomplete)
  Originally intended to house a handful of above-ground crops (mostly to provide booze variety), this space is as of yet undeveloped (and currently just a dumping ground for seed bags). - apparentbliss
• Δ 168. Farms

  ( 125 Late Spring to onwards )
  The primary farm plots, serving only underground crops, and a bag-only seed stockpile. - apparentbliss

• Δ 167. Animal Handling

  ( 125 Late Autumn to onwards )
  Animal handling (kennels, nest boxes) are on the outer northern ring. Sadly, both the male dog and male peacock brought on embark are decidedly uninterested in mating, which has put a damper on this industry. - apparentbliss

• Δ 167. Crypt

  ( 126 Late Autumn to onwards )
  'In memory of 'Mrk04' Thumsodel / Born 45 / Went missing in the year of 126 / Lover of amulets'
  
  The only permanent resident of the crypt so far is 'Mrk04' Thumsodel, who somehow managed to get crisped while a minecart was dumping magma into one of the catch-holes in the Ironworks (I do not recall if he was the one performing the minecart track stop job, or if he was in the area and managed to dodge into the pit).

• Δ 167. Food / Plant Processing

  ( 125 Late Autumn to onwards )
  Kitchen, still, farmer's workshop, millstone, etc. - apparentbliss

• Δ 167. Ironworks

  ( 126 Early Spring to onwards )
  Technically, this covers all metal, and glass as well, but who really cares about anything but steel?
  
  All of the inputs and outputs of this industry and quantum stockpiled in the same place, which seems to work well enough.
  
  See the "Magma Hauling" POI for a bit more detail about the construction of this room. - apparentbliss

• Δ 167. Primary Workshops
  Non-food non-metal workshops live here: mason, carpenter, crafts, cloth, etc.
  
  Quantum stockpiles are set up roughly along the lines laid out in this post ( http://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/2kuvs1/mechanixms_guide_to_better_stockpiling_part_2_the/ ), with cloth split out (in the northern wing of this room) and metal occupying a separate room entirely. - apparentbliss
• Δ 167. Refuse / Garbage

  ( 126 Late Autumn to onwards )
  Refuse stockpiles and a garbage dump zone feed into the central pit here, which can then be atom-smashed as desired.
  
  The pit is only one z-level deep, which means that I occasionally get miasma flooding and also have had junk spray back up into this room when the atomsmasher bridge is in the wrong state. On the whole, neither of these is particularly annoying, but it is definitely worth digging a deeper garbage shoot. - apparentbliss

• Δ 167. Somnatorium (Communal Bedroom)

  ( 125 Late Autumn to onwards )
  A single room, but with each bed assigned individually. This is a bit cheaty, though I suppose you can look at it as a socialist / commune thing if you want to try and roleplay-justify it.
  
  Separate noble rooms will eventually be carved out of the eastern outer wing. - apparentbliss

• ¶ 167. The Center (Dining)

  ( 125 Late Autumn to onwards )
  The center of the main level of this fort, also serving as the dining room.
  
  I think there's a pretty strong argument to be made for having the primary workshops occupy the center room, and relegating the dining hall to western greatroom; perhaps that will be the case in the next fort. - apparentbliss

• Δ 166. Non-Quantum Food Stockpiles

  ( 125 Late Autumn to onwards )
  For all three of these stockpiles (raw food stuffs to the north, prepared meals to the west, and drinks to the east) we need barrels, so we can not use quantum stockpiles. - apparentbliss

• Δ 165. Exploratory Mining

  ( 126 Late Autumn to onwards )
  Magnetite pockets and tetrahedrite veins. Delicious. - apparentbliss

• Δ 69. Cavern Sealant

  ( 127 Early Spring to 127 Early Spring )
  Hatches mean I don't have to worry about the caverns. There is a forgotten beast sitting idle somewhere in cavern 1. At some point, I may go breach the caverns again. - apparentbliss

• Δ 10. Magma Hauling

  ( 127 Early Spring to 127 Early Spring )
  The magma-tiles used to power the Ironworks in this fort were filled using magma-safe minecart hauling, as proposed by Sylth01 in this Reddit thread:http://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/39iopu/biweekly_df_questions_thread/cs5ckvj .
  
  One comment of particular importance is that you need your bucket brigade to drop water from at least 2 z-levels up; if you only drop from the level one above, the magma will not turn into obsidian. - apparentbliss
