Whoever ends up taking the next turn, please redwarf me as Bismuth Lad, a male miner with custom profession "Rock collector".

[LordBrassroast]

Will do.

[Bearskie]

Now instead of FPS-killing zombies, you get FPS-killing livestock

This place needs a good butcher, and fast.

Goals
         
* feed every dwarf of The Old Nets.

* farms for every type of above-ground crop.

As much as the variety seems limitless on above ground crops, they are biome specific, so only the possible crops show up in the farm plot menu.  And there are some seeds that we do not have yet. 

Take for example, Strawberry seeds I bought from a caravan (human), I did not micro-manage the fruit, so it probably ended up being cooked, thus producing no seeds.  So maybe for those types of seeds that we want more of, should be toggled to cooking off for a few years.

* separate pastures for every type of animal we have (more than one of) on the site
- (Exception: we can have a 'misc' pasture for animals we only have one of, but try not to mix the giant predator's with the adorable grazers)

All I remember from the animals is we have 3 giant hamsters, but they do not seem to be breeding.

* breeding programs for as many different types of meats as possible, with special emphasis on rare, non-domestic varieties. Do good by the elves: you'll want them to bring as many animals as possible.

One science I've read about breeding programs is (for non-grazers) to have the males in cages in the middle of pastured females (or nestboxes). 

The females will still get pregnant despite the cage bars.

* cover as much surface area as possible with farms, pastures, roads and buildings.

I can imagine tenements apartments sprouting outside the moat for The Old Nets squatters as war rages on...

That might be overstating it: it's nowhere near as bad as bonepillar. And compared to infinite numbers of ravenous cave-zombies, livestock is a fairly minor problem.
         
The wiki page on the meat industry is pretty good in that regard. Quite a few tips on dealing with livestock fps problems.
         
You could also look at simply eliminating some of our more worthless domestic breeding animals. Cavy's and rabbits are worse than useless, dogs cats and pigs can be caged, and mules goats donkeys and horses aren't good for much other than milk. We're caging enough animals that it's unlikely the pastures will stay empty for long.

Have save, will do things tomorrow

OK, whatever a 7z file is, I can't use it.

7-zip archive. Basically the same as a *.zip file, but better compressed and faster to extract. Unfortunately, also impossible to open unless you download and install 7-zip from here http://www.7-zip.org/.

It's free and safe to download, but I always use zip instead for precisely this reason. Smaller archives isn't worth people not being able to open it without installing third party software.

You need to install 7zip.

I uploaded compressed (zipped) folder version, hopefully this works.

It's all good, FPS anywhere from 13-25.

[LordBrassroast]

I couldn't fit everything on the elves' mules . I guess this is one of the "exceptions" because of the game's coding?

[Sanctume]

So I guess I did not cut beyond the 100 trees than? 
And I thought it was a 100 "log" quota.
Need more Glumprong shields for the purple color.

Yeah, just trade as much as you can, record the numbers, and save the rest for the humans.
         
You can also buy the clay off the elves to free up some weight: everything else they bring is fairly light and not really worth the extra clutter, but those few lumps of clay are surprisingly heavy.

So I guess I did not cut beyond the 100 trees than? 
And I thought it was a 100 "log" quota.

According to the wiki, it's based on the number of 'Fell Tree' jobs completed. That said, I think the total number is a leftover from previous versions of the game, where tree's were single-tile and you got 1 log per tree. Felling 100 tree's in 40.24 would involve clear-cutting the surface and would give you more wood than you could possibly use in a year.

I'm going to add a few more explicit guidelines to the OP, just to ensure things stay good. It's all fairly basic stuff, but I want something to point to if someone breaks the previously-unwritten rules:
         

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Turns
    - Duration: 1 year or 2 weeks, whichever comes first.
    - Turns will be skipped if you fail to respond or stop updating.
    - Extensions past the 2-week point will be granted if you put a lot of work into high-quality updates.
Graphics
    - You can use graphics sets, but for convenience's sake the save should always be converted back to ASCII when passing turns.
Exploits
    - You can use your own judgement on what is and is not an exploit, but stay away from obvious hacks like danger rooms. Maintain the suspension of disbelief!
Editing the RAWs/Using DFHack
    - Using utilities to simplify the game or recover FPS is fine. Anything the LazyNewbPack does by default is fine.
    - Check with me if there's any doubt. I'll sign off on making creatures war-trainable or increasing merchant animals carrying capacity.
    - Anything that involves changing dwarf stats or killing specific targets is cheating and thus completely unacceptable. Same goes for fastdwarf, reveal-all, etc.
Savescumming
    - Savescumming is more acceptable here than in many forts, since Breadbowl doesn't run on chaos and mismanagement the way other forts do. But don't overuse it: from a narrative standpoint, the occasional massacre or accidental drowning is a good thing.
