Bustnut - 115 Late Winter by Noble Digger

Map Description:

Åblelishlum (Bustnut) at the twilight of her 15th year.

Founded in a rocky desert beside an open magma pipe, Bustnut has struggled against a near-total lack of water, absence of flux, absence of iron, sparsity of trees, and seasonal goblin and elven ambushes. No sieges have come thus far, though all the magma-containing rooms in the entire fortress have been paved with iron flooring by the good grace of narrow iron armor from our green-skinned friends.

Point of Interest: Weavers' Hall

In the infancy of the fortress, this room was a cross-hatch-mined refuse stockpile which allowed my garbage to rot in peace, since miasma doesn't travel diagonally in the xy plane. With the completion of the northern refuse courtyard, I needed a place for my cloth operations more than an indoor refuse stockpile, so I dug it out and gradually reshaped and enlarged it to its current size.

The room to the northeast houses extra cloth and is usually full, but I've been sewing images of puppies splattering all over the place onto all the elven equipment i'll be exporting next season.

The white ramp here leads up to the export stockpile, which is really convenient for my clothiers who used to walk out into the main hall and through the barracks annexes to reach the export stockpiles. The downward stairs in the cloth stockpile leads to the dye bag stockpile.

Very Interesting fortress. I enjoyed reading all the details and it makes we look back on my desert city.

Ah memories of riots.

Also, why do the elves hate you so?

Nice fortress! You maintain the wasteland splendidly. The vault is cool, and I'm going to steal your trade depot layout.

Please steal everything you like! I stole a bunch of it myself. Just put your own spin on it, improve on what you see so we all get smarter!

Thanks for the comments.

I got a kick out of your jewelers' names.

Looks like you spent more time on those POIs than you did building the fort itself. Favorited.

The text of "The Vault" has the potential to offend; might wanna tone it down a bit :P

Tis all in jest, I kid because I love. Furthermore, those are the actual names of those two dwarves ;)
