It's actually quite funny that I ended up pumping carp in my underground farm :D

What a nice new way to go fishing...

Anyway, I found out that the pump using a well water source might be no enough to push rock away from my underground 6 Z tree farm...

Any way to boost up the pressure of my well water source so my pump can actually make water push rocks?

Breach all three caverns and make a very large tree farm.

I got coal in one fortress, which unfortunately did not have any metal other than copper and silver, from tetrahedrite.  In my current fortress, steel (and gold for special things, bronze for noble furniture, and whatever metal my mayor [and, if I can get it to work, Baron] wants) production is supported by a heavily forested biome, copious wood imports, three cavern layers, and two near-legendary wood burners.

This fortress is turning into some kind of supervillain lair or something.
You do remember that you've been farming gigantic wingless dragon-fish for profit and Fun, right?
