The dwarfy thing to do would be to pull the levers one by one and note what they do.  Privately, of course; better to let subsequent overseers learn for themselves.

How big is a 1X1 embark meant to ask earlier but forgot.

[delphonso]

48x48 tiles, right? Big enough for exactly 2304 beds and nothing else.

How big is a 1X1 embark meant to ask earlier but forgot.

Really small. The picture of the top level shows nearly the entire embark area.

[King Zultan]

Man that is small, also that would be a lot of beds.

I regularly have 5000 dwarves max as my limiter so that the fort will grow organically.  I think the biggest I've ever been able to maintain was 2k dwarves or so?  Love to get the various "clan" lineages of dwarves who all have matrilineal surnames (since dwarves don't have to be married to have kids any more).  I set up my matriarchs of each "clan" with impressive suites and nobility jobs, turn off all labours other than crafts and watch them enjoy the pinnacle of life together.  Queen bees...

The levers are named.

One of them is called the "Depot Lever", And the other one is called the "Entrance lever".

Thank you. So the hatch is not connected to a lever.

Can the undead enter through the hatch? I never build hatches. According to the wiki it works a bit like a door. I'm pretty sure they can climb unto the roof.

edit: okay, I see that the hatch is locked. Well, I will just pray that I understand this correctly and unpause then. If the undead do manage to crawl in, I wouldn't know how to prevent a complete wipe, in any case.

I.. have some good news and some bad news.

The good news is that we're still alive. Most of us, at least. And the necromancer outside didn't raise a single corpse yet, for some reason.

The bad news is that the corpses outside are piling up fast. Two harpies, one stray yak (poor thing), a giant mosquito, a giant cave toad, a bunch of cavies. All the wildlife is being murdered.
And, uhm, one dead carpenter by the name of Thob Rakustathel. I'm sorry. I never build drawbridges that have length 1 in the direction they are raised, and those look exactly the same open and closed with my tileset. So I was convinced that both drawbridges were closed, when the one leading to the Trade Depot was open.

On the bright side, his sacrifice allowed us enough time to correct my mistake. Both drawbridges are firmly locked now, and I learned how they work. I suppose that is good news too.

And, if the hatch is locked.

Oops, hit the post button again. Sorry!
