![]() I have begun the task of moving the workshops down to the center of the fortress. The second cavern is 35 levels below the dining room and the dining room is 20 levels below the entrance. The project has been blessed with a very convenient solid chunk of stone which can be dug through to bypass this cavern. The second cavern has been found and plans are in place for its bypass. I will look into constructing some windows for the sheer side of the blade for a spectacular view. I chose a long blade of rock protruding out of the first cavern layer. Upon learning this I constructed a few coffins and ordered the construction of a fitting tomb area. The first death of the fortress is a mystery. He could have died under TheSponge for all I know. Recently I investigated this and discovered that they are grieving for a dead dwarf! I have no idea how this happened, there were no smelly clouds, no body parts. The fact that I we only know of the layout of one cavern will not hinder progress!ฤก1th Limestone For the past few months I noticed a few dwarves suddenly become so stricken with grief that they stop whatever they are doing (and produce job cancellation announcement). So I have planned a minecart system (which will have other applications) to reach all the way down to the magma sea. Dwarven engineering is rarely about reasonable. Transporting ore 100+ levels with hoards of migrants sounds like a reasonable solution to the transport problem. I say that we have plenty of wood and coal but that using magma by far the most dwarfy choice. Some people are worrying about our finite supply of wood and coal for our forges and think we should use magma for large scale melting. The structure to the left of the dining room is my next major project a large spiral of minecarts to facilitate high speed transport of ore between the surface layers and the magma ocean. The bridge at the entrance has been linked to a lever and labelled. It is accessible through a U-bend to offer more protection from various forms of Fun. Directly below the dining room is the panic/lever room. Another, less skilled, mason will have to construct the doors for the bedrooms. Over the coming months I aim to smooth and engrave the entire room. ![]() The doors of the dining room are not marble, they are the work of our forges and abundance of silver. The food is being moved into the nearby stockpile and it will soon be time to replace the old dining room. ![]() Sculpting tables and chairs becomes a lot easier with practise. The furniture for the dining room is nearing completion and significantly faster than expected. More will be dug soon to accommodate the influx of migrants. 19th Galena year 551 The bedrooms are complete apart from their doors.
