Settlement 1

Lost during first winter, due to injuries from local animal population, a frozen river with no indoor water supply, and running out of booze.

Settlement 2

Operated for 3 seasons, with rather elaborate swiss family Robinson bridge city. Several wells, large production facilities, and well supply still. Lost to goblin raid, due to lack of security, and most travel was across outdoor bridges that weren't sheilded to arrows. 10 dwarves lost in the first 1min before I realized how they were dieing.

Settlement 3

Accidental breech of a burial chamber for a channel to create a massive pump filled water reserve, cause entire burial chamber, and storage area to flood. Later hilarious attempts at pumping out the water, and collapsing a section of roof on the water channel only made matters worse.

Settlement 4 - Minbazsil

In progress..

Got first fey mood, 2 wood was taken by a Bowyer...

So far have completed a small dam that acts to supply my water supply, an indoor water fall 4 levels tall. Pumped water up 7 levels from a brook, the dam being 4 levels tall. Internally there is large water removal tube that feeds out to the empty end of the brook, along with an axillary tube that is bi-directional in case my well needs to be filly the un-fun way.

Phase 2 of the above project is completed, which is a massive resevouir above my base, which hangs over my front door (and indoor trade depot), and inside the overhang over the volcano. Recent testing of the release systems has created a partial cap over the mouth of the volcano. I am currently digging this cap out to turn into an tomb of impressive quality. Goals are to incorporate lava into the tomb chamber either with channels below the floor, or lava pillars if test runs go ok in the tomb next door. Fire imps be damned, they can chat with the dead.
