+ | After running out of [[food]] due to not assigning [[crops]] to be grown, I set this fortress aside to start Region 3 rather than watch everyone chase rodents and [[Losing#Starvation|starve]]. Later returned to it with more expertise, got food from a [[caravan]], and managed a full recovery.

+ | I got ambitious and carefully customized the fortress and party [[Name|names]] before [[embark]]. | ||
− | + | Machinehall was built in two phases: | |
+ | # Complex I: Single 32x32 room | ||
+ | #* [[Workshops]] along the walls | ||
+ | #* [[Stockpiles]] in the middle | ||
+ | #* [[Defense design#Goblin detour|Kinked entry passage]] with [[fortifications]] for [[marksdwarves]] | ||
+ | #* Well and waterfall in one corner | ||

+ | #* Planned [[waterfall]] in the center of the ramp (never tested) | ||
+ | #* Each level dedicated to a specific [[industry]] or activity | ||
+ | Unfortunately, these complexes are not close together, and the transition is taking a very long time. Currently most dwarves in Machinehall can be found [[Traffic|walking in the long tunnel]] between them. | ||
− | === | + | === Queen Saga === |
− | + | Eventually, Machinehall grew enough to attract the interest of royalty. After an artifact mechanism was used in a [[Road|drawbridge]], Queen Lorbam Äkiltosid arrived and proclaimed her [[Noble#Room Requirements|demands for the finest, most lavish accommodations]] imaginable. Plans for such were drawn up immediately, and work began. Not fast enough for Her Royal Highness, however; with each passing day, the [[Thought#Unhappy thoughts|indignity of her condition weighed upon the noble monarch]], until finally one day [[Insanity|it was all too much]]. | |
− | # | ||
− | # | ||
− | |||
− | + | Lorbam Äkiltosid, Queen has gone stark raving mad! | |
− | |||
− | + | She wandered aimlessly, overcome with despair. Where had she gone wrong? Surely road value is an excellent way to choose where to live! Eventually, the Queen threw herself into Machinehall Complex II's 17-level dry waterfall. | |
− | + | Lorbam Äkiltosid, Queen has died after colliding with an obstacle. | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | And her subjects [[Tantrum|mourned]]. Or at least I assume they will; the loss of the Queen prompted me to save my game (and not come back to it yet). | |

− | I | + | I used the site finder, with the only search parameter being the presence of a magma pipe, then carved the bottom Z-level into 5x10 chunks without finding one. However, I did eventually notice some Frogman bones in my stocks. Sure enough, these had sunk to the bottom of an undiscovered underground river. |
− | === | + | |
− | + | I also got tired of under-building squalid hovels for my gloriously wealthy tribesdwarves, so I turned off rent. My long-term plan is to build better and better housing, and as they move into it, knock out the walls between older rooms to upgrade them. I might try enabling rent again in future versions if it becomes possible to undercut rents with a housing supply glut. | |
