Short update to show how the spiral staircase will work. First seeds have been planted, and work has begun on automating the farm pumps.
Progress on the spiral staircase is good, with a relatively simple design that can be easily dug out. The design requires two levels of space on each corner, giving extra headroom for wagons and whatever else may descend into the fort. - Markavian

I see things are progressing nicely here... hehe, I just realized your trade depot room is basically overlooking the caves. Knock down the walls and install some windows? :P

I guess that's the next step, yeup, currently I'm running around trying keep everyone busy and fed. I want to replace the mud wall layers with stone foundations before I dig too deep.

Wait, so I'm not the only one with a Trogoldyte problem?
This calls for magma.
Also, are you going to smooth your floors, or are you going to just leave them like that?

Usually I don't smooth floors until I need to increase the value of the fort. Keeps the average value of rooms down as well.
Just had my military go beserk on me after starving themselves to death, thinking about restarting to try some new designs.
