• ¶ 178. Ground level
  Never got around to razing the wagon. There's an animal pasture on the right. Place still feels a bit exposed, but there's an entrance that can be sealed. The barracks is doing double duty as a storage room for bricks, and hasn't seen much actual training yet.
  
  There's a lot more in the works, of course, this is just the beginning. - Tharis
• Δ 177. Farming
  Careful where you dig here, or you could make a rather substantial breach. - Tharis
• Δ 176. Whoops
  When I first dug in, I accidentally made some ramps to nowhere and briefly stranded by miners. After digging their way out, the miners walled in the errant tunnels. The sloppiness of it bothers me, but it's not worth destroying the world over. - Tharis
• Δ 174. Fort Central
  I find I often make the same things in somewhat different shapes. This time the shape of the day is "hexagon."
  
  I've made the central stockpile bin-free to avoid confusing bins, which led to a mess of mugs. So I made a mug pile off to the side that allows bins. The engraving is of a leaf, symbol of our civilization.
  
  Also, as you can see, I haven't bothered to dig out any bedrooms or a proper dining room, let alone tavern.
  
  The room with the lever is the manager/bookkeeper/broker/chief medic/expedition leader's office. The lever operates the main drawbridge. The table and throne are buried under a stone and a seed, respectively. - Tharis
• Δ 173. All things rock
  I've turned two peasants into masons through continuous blockmaking. - Tharis
• Δ 172. Woodworks
  Elven nightmares in the making. - Tharis
• Δ 171. All things metallic
  I really need to work on the stockpile situation. It's one flaw in this design, not much room for stockpiles. Maybe to the north and south?
  
  The east is split between sand and clay. There's a big deposit of kaolinite up the mountain, which may come in handy. - Tharis
• Δ 170. All things cloth and leathery
  I don't usually build the clothingworks this early in the game, but I figured if I'd done everything else, I might as well. - Tharis
• Δ 169. The lower hall
  I figured the four stairwells should come together at some point, so I made nice little hall. Thought about calling it "the hall of the seven" and making spacious rooms for the founders around it, but I couldn't make the numbers work out. I'm kind of addicted to symmetry. - Tharis
