Frankly, as long as we can get to the caves, wood is no issue.

Farm plotting trees is easy. Chop down what you've got, and floor over the world with their bones, except a few plots for them to grow.

I actually had one fort where I embarked, and the wagon was on top of a tree. That was somewhat entertaining.

Maybe we can get a desert with a stream in it? A flat surface volcano would be ideal, but a water moat will deal with most things. A two-tiered design with a drain into an aquifer or off the map edge, so things get flushed out.

As far as I am aware, a raising bridge shouldn't care about water. Though I've always used floodgate walls in addition to bridges.

Are you intending to use a punch to divert the river to the new lower bed?

Ah, now that I realize it, the note I made was in that part you took over. And I always confuse east and west in DF. No idea why.

Flood gate lever is in the south west, two floors up. Left lever opens the flood gate, right lever re-powers the pump. I didn't realize there was a well in there, or I'd have moved it. Try putting it behind walls and a door. That should fix the problem.

They should, though I typically draw from one level below the surface, with the plan of miner digs, and then books it for parts unknown before he gets boiled.

On spoiler: Shouldn't think so, though that might explain the issues with StoneSense and such.

There should be enough blocks to pave it over.

I didn't have time to investigate the turbine hall while playing, though it should provide more than sufficient power for even a spiral lift. If all else fails, there's always a minecart lift, though that'd take forever to fill a magma dike.
