Jewelworked - 109 Early Spring by Itnetlolor

Map Description:

This is a new style of fortress planning/building that I decided to undertake. This is primarily done with the guide, and design, of a flowchart system.

On Year 2 now, and making an absurd amount of progress. Let's hope !!fun&!! doesn't come along prematurely. I'm almost ready to have things set.

Point of Interest: UGH - The Cost of Cleaning Up Your Messes

So many stones... No worries, I intend to remedy this issue in due time with a quantum compressor. But as of the moment, I have no need for such things... yet.

At least those dedicated central stockpile zones will be put to the test, and re-calibrated for the workshops later on. - Itnetlolor

This is the floorplan/flowchart I have the fortress modeled after:

'be practical before being fancy'

One day you might find your play style to be exactly the opposite! At least, once you grow bored with efficiency.

I want to see your completed dining hall!

Actually, being practical first allows for being fancy more quickly, and better manages my resources to distribute accordingly. Basically, if things go how I hope they will, I should have everything, including dining hall plumbing, smoothed and engraved (especially before the water melts and starts flowing) by next post.

Considering water pressures and general setup, including the diagonal pressure regulation, I should still be able to take advantage of what plumbing I will have setup and feed more places with fresh water.

Well, it's quite ineffective, I'd say. You don't need passages of 5 cells wide, and you don't need such big plan.
It will take long for dwarves just to walk here and there - use more of Z-levels.
For using Z-levels you might like a look on my las fortress here - it's very compact and very big at the same time.
But for the sake of "thinking big" it's quite impressive.

Problems?

Do you only see a blank space?
