I have a few questions:
1. What will you do about nobles?
2. What is your procedure with migrants? Are you segregating them by job or by wave. It appears to be by job what what I've seen, but wouldn't that possibly 'contaminate' a bunker?
3. How can something possibly be this awesome?
Not sure what to do about nobles. Right now Morul is taking all of those slots, because, well, shit. But yeah, we're going to have to deal with that. Pretty much everyone should have a qualifying bedroom, etc. just as part of the story, so mayors etc are covered. The other positions, I'm not so sure. There will be basically no justice because everyone is quarantined, but we should be well equipped to satisfy noble demands.
Migrants will be isolated in each wave and then when they've been determined to be safe, then be sorted. Generally I expect that families that come will all take a bunker and that'll be that. Each bunker is a job skill. Everyone that goes in the soap maker bunker will be a soap maker - mom, dad, kids, grandkids - a glorious 3 day future being tasked with breaching the volcano or being a forgotten beast meat shield in whatever fortress they later migrate to. The rest of the wave I hope to pair up as best as I can. I think the mismatches will have to either combine with the next wave, or, well… I've already got caskets full of migrants, an obsidian farm planned, masons to skill up, and almost endless catacomb space.
I'm hoping it'll be awesome. It's flat-out overwhelming right now as I work out the dig order. I've laid out the power plant, and cistern, which needs to be pretty big to feed the obsidian farm, and should be fully automated - detecting water level, letting more in, detecting level in the sub levels, auto pumping - plus the same happening in each bunker well. I've laid out the lever floor. It's a roughly ⅓ scale version of the top level of the fortress. It's a lot for 7 dwarves to do, so the order matters a great deal in order for anything to get up and running any time soon. But I think they're just about ready to go. While they dig, I need to make blocks like mad so that when we're ready to breach the cavern and head down to magma, that we can wall the caverns in - which is gonna be wicked hard in a 5x5, even with Morul helping. If there's water down there, it's going to be wicked hard to plug that up - but if I find magma, I can load up minecarts and use them to create an obsidian dam. That'll be a cool new thing to try.
