Noo!  Not the trolls
First people get rid of my pet cave crawlers Crawly and Fluffy and now you even got rid of our furry little mascots. I liked those green blooded little trolls dang it. They were our pets. Wouldn't have hurt a fly and most likely better housetrained than the average dwarf.

oh and BP dont worry about it taking too long due to FPS. as long as we get updates every couple days, your turn will go on until your year is up.

[bp920091]

Hey, wanted to give you guys an update.

Mother's Day Shenanigans prevented me from actually putting a full update out, but the following has been completed:

• Complete Revamp of the Farms
• Complete Revamp of the Kitchens
• Complete Revamp of the Metal Industry
• Complete Revamp of Stockpiles (yes, it is organized)
• Complete Revamp of the Hospital (its not a deathtrap anymore)
• Military has become Hardened Mentally (and mostly physically recovered)
• MASSIVE numbers of engravings have been put in place
• River has nearly been completely dammed off
• Enoumous amount of cleaning has been done

Expect another update tomorrow (this time with details about the changes).

Oh, and i havent gotten rid of the cave crawlers, they are the only ones NOT dead that we captured.

Yeah... i do organizing for a living, and this is basically an easier version of what i do for work in RL

Most Excellent!™
That such a place could be re-organized is magnificent.

A next step will be to re-conquer the deeps where the zombies still wait.

[bp920091]

I still have the following  do before I decide to take on the zombies.

Workshop reconfigure
Happiness generator
Bedroom fill
Beautification

[saltmummy626]

Happiness generator

Its this part that will prolly be the downfall of the fort.

[bp920091]

I'm thinking 4 4x4 mist generators, with auto fill and on/off switches.

additionally, a few cleansing troughs wouldn't be a bad idea.

Overseer's Log:

24th Hematite:

Over the past few weeks, the various cave crawlers that we have reverted to semi wild and wild states, perhaps seeing the hardened eyes of the surrounding populace and trying to do whatever they can to fight this new change (We are still taking enjoyment from the creatures imprisonment however).

There have been several large changes in the fort in the past month as well.

We have successfully dammed off the river (at the north), thanks to a large number of screw pumps and VERY fast masons. End result, we are seeing a dropping water level, and the universe seems to be running faster as a result (15-20 fps, opposed to the original 10-15).

Changes to the kitchens have also been completed. While the workshops themselves have not changed (2 stills, kitchens, and farmers workshops in a central area), feeding stockpiles have been added.

The new kitchen work like this:
Meat Stockpile
Cheest and non underground plant stockpile
Fat stockpile
processed food stockpile (sugar, leaves, syrup)
Barrel and Pot Storage (for fast access)

To go along with the new stockpiles, the old food stockpiles in the kitchen have since been removed, with new Prepared Food and Drink stockpiles to the immediate north and south of the dining hall (with entrances from the dining hall), freshly smoothed and engraved.

The Hospital has also been renovated, with 12 2x2 furnished hospital rooms tied to a 5x7 storage area with a well attacked. These rooms have a table, bed, and traction bench, all within one tile of each other, allowing the medical staff to have quick and efficient access to the wounded.

The storage area is also fully stocked (at least 2x the needed level of everything we need, including thread, cloth, splints, crutches, powder for casts, buckets, and soap), and this has come in handy with the recovery of the soldiers from the recent invasion. As a result of the new hospital, we are down to two dwarves that are still injured, one hammerdwarf with a dented and fractured lower right arm, and a random metalsmith with a dented  and fractured right foot, a fractured left leg, and a left upper arm that is dented (i have no idea how he got those injuries, as he wasn't in the military, and there are not any combat logs regarding him).

The underground farms have also been renovated, with added areas for every type of underground crop (and we have stopped production of dimple cups, as they are garbage, and we aren't going to do any sort of dying of cloth (we will leave the dying to our enemies). The new farms are 5x5 farms, with a storage area for seeds that we actually are using.

More cleaning and hauling has been completed, with a reorganization of the existing massive stockpiles (ie, some overseer decided to have a few massive stockpiles that contained everything, rather than many smaller specialized stockpiles).
 
The millitary has been hardened even further, by slowly feeding the numerous war dogs that we have into the danger room, slaughtering them in front of the eyes of the military. Remember, the best soldier is an emotionally dead soldier!

[Valrandir]

This much re-organization is what gate ivory needed the most.
The next year will be interesting.

[saltmummy626]

indeed, the next turn will prolly end up messing everything up and getting everyone killed by demons and undead.

[bp920091]

Sorry again for the long pauses between updates, work is sucking up all my time these days.

In other news... I'm running out of stuff to organize!

 (expect a big update within 24 hours)

[bp920091]

Long story short, ill be uploading the save tonight (too little time these days), but i will also include a walkthrough (with pics) of the fort, so that future overseers can see exactly what certain things do (no more floundering around).

Starting the walkthrough now...
