(OOC: Sorry for the double post, but that's alright if it's a story update, right?)
The dining room and the carpenters and masons workshops are both dug out and built. I have built a small dormitory space for beds, I hope that later I may be able to build real rooms for the dwarves, but I fear this will not happen in this first year.
I have also begun digging to an area that, from my understanding, should have sand in it. I will begin the planting of plump helmets there, so as to feed our newborn town.
I have begun digging out space for a stockpile. I really wish I'd brought that spare pick, but I needed the cash to train my dwarves. (OOC: apparently, the prepare carefully feature in the genesis mod gives you fewer points than the start now feature. Doesn't really matter, I actually think this way makes more sense in story.)
Sadly, the miner likes to dig the least important area first. Stockpiles or farm area? She'll dig the stockpiles. Workshops or dining room? Dining room. I really should micromanage my designations more. Also, I told the miner to stop hauling things. There's IMPORTANT work to be done.
It is the 11th of slate, and we are already starting to run out of food. Very well, I shall assign one dwarf to fishing, one dwarf to fish cleaning, and build a fishery. Hopefully, this will be enough to feed us while we wait for the farms to get up and running.
Today is the 14th of slate. I have beds in place, although, as I said previously, dwarves are sleeping without rooms. The farms are built. They take up a twelve square Urist space, they are 4 Urists by 3 Urists. They should be easy enough to expand if I need to do so.
The dining room has four tables and four chairs. I will build more later, and perhaps smooth the stone later.
I have set myself up as broker. I have the appraiser skill, making me of great value to the fort.
We have a fishery. Next on my list of things to build is a still.
It is the 16th of Slade. The still is complete. I am beginning work on a craftsdwarf's Workshop. This, I hope, should let me build Nest Boxes.
It is the 19th of Slade. Everyone has gone to bed. This means no work can be done as of now. Oh, wait, the first of us are beginning to awake. Good.
I have begun work on a Nest box. This will do great good for the dwarves of Bomziril.
I have forbidden the dwarves from touching four guniehen eggs that have been laid; I want to increase the amount of fowl we have.
To be honest, I am unclear what to do next. I have the still working, beds in place, am waiting for the first harvest, and for the first fish. I have tables and chairs. I have stills. I have a craftsdwarfs workshop, both for the production of Nest Boxes, and for the production of pots.
I suppose my next order of business should be to have my miner begin searching for the caverns.... But I am not sure we are ready to take them on. Perhaps the first thing I should do is order the smoothing of stone in the dining room, to make it a more plesant place to eat, and to begin digging rooms.
I have ordered twelve rooms be dug, and the dining room be smoothed.
I have ordered doors, beds, and coffers be made. I will keep the seven beds in the dormitories as well. They shall give me more time to react when migrants come, and perhaps a fallback should I ever be so swamped with migrants that I simply cannot produce rooms fast enough. I have mixed feelings about the concept that I might ever need to use them in such a way. On one hand, it would be a sign of radical success. On the other hand, it would imply that we were not able to give every citizen our best.
Today is the 16th of Felsite. The rooms have been dug, and 6 of them have been completed.
Today is the 18th of Felsite. There are seven rooms, each with beds and coffers. I am still working on doors, but they will come in time. I will continue digging more rooms, I think. I am uncertain.
Today is the twenty second of Felsite. I just realized I brought no cats to catch vermin with. Ah well. Migrants will surely come with the cute little bastards... and then, if they reproduce to heavily, perhaps we can have cold cat tallow soup with the plump helmets that are finally starting to mature!
Maybe we shall have fish, too. Or perhaps fishing was just a waste of time. We shall see. We are out of logs, but we have built twelve beds. Next season we shall build more.
Woodcutting is my job, so I have begun cutting down more trees.
Today is the first of Hematite, the end of spring, and the beginning of the new season. Here is what rooms look like as of now.
I will not waste my time illustrating the floor that only contains the fishery. It only contains the fishery. It is above the floor with the rooms.
Here is the dining room floor. You will note it contains the old dorms and the food stockpile... And an awful lot of roaches. Note to self: FIND CATS.
Above that is the floor with the farms.
Above that is the ground. It has a refuse pile and a woodpile in it. Again, I shall not waste my time illustrating it here, it is not terribly important, nor is it terribly intresting. The piles are the only change to it, as you have seen it previously, and the wood pile and the refuse pile are mere logistical changes.
