Overseer's Log - Winter 1064Well, it's been quite a year. I'm over me upset about the news, but I'll tell you all right now, don't ever, ever, EVER keep a secret like that again from someone in the purple hat. To think there was one o' them bloodsuckin' beasts hidden in the very walls of the place! Fair makes m' flesh crawl! We'd all be murdered in our beds, and all you lot would say is "oh, we forgot". Same as you forgot to close the holes into the caverns so old Shedim could get in! I do appreciate the effort you all spent in throwin' the vile thing into the lava, though. Poor Kronk... losin' his wife like that! Who would have thought the beast could be that quick? No sooner did we break open the prison than it slipped by us all and claimed its prey. Faugh! No wonder we have such a problem with evil spirits here, if you have things like THAT about! I hope for the sake of future overseers there's no other horrible monsters sealed up in here anywhere...
Shedim's death must have sent a signal... a new beast appeared deep in the third caverns, but it's welcome to spend its life down there and none the wiser.
Besides that, winter was fairly uneventful. And yes, this year I'm steppin' down. I know I've been hard on ye all, but look at all we've accomplished! I'm passin' the hat to The_Flame, our beloved weaponsmith. We will need more weapons and armor... tend the forges well. We were born from the forges of the gods, you know... a dwarf without a forge is like a body without a heart. I'll stay about, but I hope I've showed ye it doesn't need to be so dire. And I'll be around if ye need me.
Flame, get this damn hat, so I can go get a drink!

OOC: Save is here:
http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=11073The biggest challenge at this point is FPS. Too many tiles are exposed, there are still too many paths from A -> B, and too many moving parts are onscreen. I was getting 15-17 downstairs, 19-22 upstairs, and 15 out in the woods.
Things to note:
- Magma is still drying in the flooded zone. Should be done evaporating by mid-spring. 5 magma crabs will need attention before you can repurpose the area. Two holes left in the walls, one over the magma pipe and one leading to (though blocked by) the green glass pump.
- Upstairs food storage is full, leading to ridiculous pathing of people growing food upstairs and carrying it down 40 levels to store it in the basement. Some sort of longterm food storage solution is desperately needed
- Still have a caged minotaur to play with
Best of luck, and I will be following with interest
EDIT: Gah, sorry
I had already zipped and uploaded the save by the time I saw your message. Just denounce her as an impostor and carry on
