Some tips or notes as I played some last night.
1. I'm getting confused looking for my citizens because their nicknames are the similar.
And what is listed in the roster is the English version, but Dwarf Therapist list it with the Dwarvish names.
So I end up making a squad and adding my citizens there (except kids), then use DT to sort by Squad.
2. I may be doing too much micro-managing, but I wanted to see how much wood I will have after I cut some initial trees.
So I forbid all stones and wood in District P until I have 0 items when I b-C-w.
3. It would be nice to say, I am only using Olive Wood for my wood silo building, but this may be too micro-intensive for TimelessBob because it's a hassle to select chopping olive trees outside my gather zone, then wait for the log to be finished, then start building.
What do you think TimelessBob? Would it be too micro-intensive for blue design to say use xxx wood for walls, xxx for floors, etc as far as logs go?
4. It's a rougher start for the empty district that is focused on building their initial basic needs: dig or construct bedrooms, dining; and food and drink sources. But this issue will be gone (as discussed in the previous posts) without the current burrows so hungry/thirsty citizens will just take from District P.

@Shofet - Can I request an obsidian stone only pile feeding 1 or 2 mason shops that makes blocks on repeat? So that I will just wait for the obsidian stone blocks to build my walls. I think that even if the mason shops get cluttered, it will be better than dedicating block stockpiles. You can probably just make new mason shops, and put 10 suspended make blocks on the very cluttered shops.
@Gwolfski - I'm in District F, west to yours. Can you zone your lakes as water source? I may need to bucket brigade a few tiles on my surface so I can lay down unbroken-tiled farm plots. Please include a water source zone in your blue print.
Who else are playing that I'm not familiar with?
Sanctume District F looks like will have the following resources, talk to me:
1. Carpenter & Wood Cutter & Wood Hauler -- so will gladly help cut and haul wood logs out of your district.
2. Depending on how fast construction is, I may have (9 2x2) of (6 3x3) bedrooms set as "unassigned" that can function as public dorm in the first year until the walls are completed.
3. I have olive trees, so when I get my screw press in place, I'll have access to olive oil, and eventually olive soap. I think there will be a byproduct of Olive Paste which is a solid food ingredient for cooking. If someone is doing the kitchen, I'd gladly trade these.
4. It also looks like there is Kenaf plant which will be a boon for oil, cloth, and paper. I suppose I can have a dedicated my miller and presser to make sheets for the Library.
5. As much as I want to dabble with Brewing, I may not have room to worry about storage beyond my needs. Let me know if someone is pursuing the Booze.
Although I thought about making a smallish tavern, it's low priority in my wants / needs at the moment.
