Neat! I like the pool. You should desalinize it though. And grate it. You don't want carp jumping at you.
Also, is it my turn to get a dorfed?

Then I would like the animal trainer. Can you name him Eddie Bull?

The animal trainer is female if that still works for you.

As for the pool it's got a couple fortifications in the way to keep out any wildlife. Does non-sea water need to be desalinated? I was under the impression it didn't need to be, they're drinking just fine from it although we've got plenty of booze now.

Yes, female is fine. I think murky pools, seawater, and aquifers need desalinating, but I've got the wiki text right here. Of course, I don't know how to tell with a tile set.

Screw pumps also act to desalinate any water which is pumped through them. This is very useful for providing a source of potable water in otherwise entirely salt-water regions. However, if desalinated water comes into contact with natural walls or natural floors, other saltwater, or passes through a saltwater aquifer level (even if that has been sealed by smoothing), the water will be resalinated. So any freshwater cistern (tanks) must be entirely constructed to the full level of the water, with no natural floors or walls that will come in contact with the de-salinated water.

Alright, here you go:

I'm fairly sure murky pools and aquifers aren't salty, and therefore don't need to be cleaned via pump. Wells do well (sorry) enough to clean that sort of water.

Thanks Aeg1s. Sad how old I am, and still don't have a beard, but YAY!
