siege repelled, casualties number more than 10, next time i will be prepared with alerts, remaining spaces for marksdwarves filled again, fortress recovering, one of the carpenters was on a mood and entered a martial trance, had to dispose of him. producing coffins for the deceased and moving on with the prospection. the deeper parts of the fortress seem to have been covered completelly with cavern plants. hope to see some underground trees soon, need to move all the agriculture to the underground in order to secure it. and have to find a way to construct a watersource for the underground parts.

the entrance of the fortress is being walled and 4 drawbdriges are planned, only for defense measures as pits cannot be built, but it should be able to repel terrestrial invaders, will have to think in putting a roof above as aditional measure in case of aerial invasion or build hatches on the main stairs.

relative peace for now, with the usual snatcher or verming annoying the countryside, but no large scale invasions are present for now.

struck a vein of microcline at the 14th layer, marksdwarves still in training, population stable

EDIT: found a cavern, but got to cancel the breaching of the wall, so for now the fortress is still isolated from it

the fortress is now 2 years old, and have jumped to 60+ dorfs, building more rooms and putting the factories for beds and doors, the dinning hall is almost furnished. the flooding is coming to end as it gets to 7/7 depth. no metals have been found, only flux stone have digged as deep as the 8th layer dont want to go deeper cause i dont have a militia yet. not enough dorfs to do it, goblin snatchers and kobold thiefs have started to appear, im worried of a potential invasion.

fort population increased to 50, no problems with food for now, accidentally caused a flooding due to channeling above one of the walls of the tunnels, had enough time to secured the fortress with a wall but the room assigned for the cementery was disconnected by the water, building a new tunnel leading from the other side, and the door was set to forbidden entrance.

FPS dropped with the increase in population and the flood, but the fortress stands

playing minesweeper with aquifers (dammit), more dorfs have arrived and need to find a layer of stone as soon as possible

updated to 40.03, no problem for now, except that the framerate fluctuates for some unknown reason (no reports of any cave ins, only weather effects and the usual tree collapse due to mining).

the game doesnt seem to generate minerals even when i set it to everywhere, guess its something of the new version (that or its because i like to build forts in embarks with elevation of 1 or 0)

is the colapse of trees a feature or that's gonna be fixed too?, i had to cut several roots from the ground in order to carve my current fortress and this has caused several trees to colapse. if this is a feature maybe it could count as choping trees, so wood is generated from the colapsed ones. i dont have all the details. but should be logical.
