The Vault-128 Project (Ch 10: Year Four Progress)
« on: April 07, 2018, 08:19:00 pm »

This Vault project was inspired by TheImmortalRukan's succession fortress idea, and to give proper credit where it is due; to Dante of Rockfalls fame.

I just have to try it (create a Vault-Tec in Dwarf Fortress) out for myself.  I did not play Fallout series, but have read quite a few things about it and Fallout Shelter mobile/pc game for a few hours. 

Anyway, the idea is a volcano embark with aquifer biome--then build a vault sealed in magma (with rules made up along the way).

Ch 1: Moltenscorn the Last Vault
Ch 2: Basecamp
Ch 3: Year One Progress
Ch 4: A New Leader
Ch 5: A Warning and Oldsparks
Ch 6: Science, Miner’s Cave-in
Ch 7: Science, Continue
Ch 8: Science, Year Two Progress
Ch 9: Year Three Progress
Ch 10: Year Four Progress

(replying to reserve)

I did not want to hi-jack/derail this awesome idea/fort, so I created a reddit post post of the idea and more input feedback. 

But then I played it some more last night, progress to this.

TLDR: The Plan. Cut a cylinder portion of the earth 51-wide tiles diameter; where 3/4 mountain collapses into 1 z-level to retain red sand; and 1/4 has the surface collapses down 10z below to serve as "outdoor" inside the vault (or Garden of Eden Creation Kit G.E.C.K.)
Jesus Christ, will that even work?

The World and Embark spot.  It’s a smaller region taken from the world cookbook thread.
We wanted a volcano for magma source, with nearby aquifer biome.  Too bad it’s not flat, but we’ll see if we can work with this.

Spoiler: world embark (click to show/hide)

The Vault Dig Plan.
The surface is at z+137 in the southeast.  And the mountain goes up to z+151, and it has red sand for it’s top soil.  There are also some clay layer a few layers down.  And at z+134, an aquifer layer in one of the biome. 

So the idea is to use dig circle 51 tile diameter.  A cylinder of this earth, collapsing those above the surface down to z+135.  And the surface portion of ¼ of the cylinder to drop down z-10 to have an outdoor with surface trees in the vault.  Well it’s a plan.

Spoiler: the vault dig plan (click to show/hide)

I got v44.09 Vanilla, then dfhack 44.09 r01 alpha, copied Phoebus files from 44.05 LNP, and even got Dwarf Therapist 44.09 memory layout working.

I used dfhack reveal to peek what is below to get a better idea of implementing this.
There are these red sand tiles on the plateau of the mountain that we can to save for the vault, so collapsing them down to z+135 when possible. 

Almost ¼ of the 51-wide circle has the surface in the Southeast (SE) quadrant, and this biome has aquifer which will be nice to have out own unlimited water source inside the vault.

Spoiler: dig circle (click to show/hide)

To the north is a volcano, and that is where “basecamp” is created.

Chapter 2: Basecamp

Spring 259.

The wagon halted at the highest peak of the red sand dunes.  The llamas are humming their dismay at the lack of grass to graze upon while the turkeys, cats and dogs scatter about. 

Spoiler: (Wagon at z+152 (click to show/hide)

The basecamp will be here in preparation for the vault to be build somewhere to the southeast at the foot of the mountain. 

One hundred feet to the north is the caldera of the volcano which have the magma we need to seal the vault.

The basecamp tower entrance is constructed with wood stockpiles on top of the dunes for the wood shops.  The plant picking is plenty and stockpile is set outside the entrance.  The two dogs are war training.

Spoiler: Wagon to Basecamp (click to show/hide)

A small room for food services is dug, and crammed with the turkey nest boxes, still, kitchen, and food stockpile.  The clothing production shop are also setup for hospital supplies.  A small vein of hematite is being mined while the gold vein is ignored.

Spoiler: Food Prep (click to show/hide)

Another small room is dug for the farm and drink storage.  Since there are plenty of plants to gather, the farm remains fallow.  A craftshop is built to make rock pots from mundane stones like diorite and microcline.  A mason and mechanic shop is built also for temporary needs.

Spoiler: Farm and Stone (click to show/hide)

A forge area began construction after tapping the volcano to power the magma forges.  There will be seven forges, five smelters, one kiln and two glass furnaces. 

Below the forges is the grand opening of The Fortunate Honeys tavern for citizens and long term residents.  An office for the overseer and bedrooms are built also.

Spoiler: Forge and Tavern (click to show/hide)

Outside, far to the southeast a.k.a SE Quadrant, the llamas and other animals are pastured on the foot of the mountain.  An initial survey of the vaults perimeter is established.

Chapter 4: A New Leader

Spring 260.

The basecamp food area walls are finished, and reorganization is almost complete.  Using native gold blocks as base building material gives it a luxurious feel.  Three stills are in full production reaching our 400 booze reserves.
 
Three crafts shops are set for dabbling stone workers to make large stone pots using microcline and diorite stones.  Three kitchen are also ready but there is no need to make lavish meals yet.

The two leather shops, two tanner shops, and a butcher shop are functioning in conjunction with the prototype indoor garbage disposal.  We do not yet have a full-time clothier, so only two farmer’s shop is ready.  Two looms and two clothier shops are awaiting construction.

A modest lockable room for the nest boxes has a cage full of gobblers and poults.

The rest of the space is generous to house five 1x7 above ground farm plots seeded with rye, longland grass, alfalfa, prickle berries, and whip vines.  Four 1x7 farm plots for underground crops are unseeded.  Food piles for seeds, plants, meats, and all other food preparations are set.

Spoiler: Food Area (click to show/hide)

An elven caravan from Tiveyemimale has arrived.  We traded one iron serrated disc for some clothing, cages, buckets, splints, crutches, fruits, and a copperhead snake.

The Fight Club Training squad is using steel helms and mail shirts for uniform.  The squad is scheduled into two teams of two training at all time, so six others can continue to help around:

1. The Vault Guard
2. The Vault Overseer
3. Thorbald, The Vault Scribe
4. The Bartender
5. The Valkyrie
6. A Presser
7. The Surgeon
8. Bayar, The Huntress
9. The Teacher
10. A Cheesemaker

Spoiler: Squad Spring 260 (click to show/hide)

The Vault Sage is taking over manager and record keeping duty, and thinks to himself that he is the new leader.

The cistern walls are smoothed.  Temporary mason shops are set to use up the microcline and gabbro stones dug out from the well. 

Orders made: an iron chain, an iron bucket, a native gold block and a native gold mechanism for the well fittings.

Iron corkscrew and pipe section for the pump are assembled with a matching microcline block and mechanism.  The pump room is finished with a microcline grate to cover the aquifer water source.

The well’s portable drain is also completed with a matching microcline hatch cover and linked lever.

Spoiler: Basecamp Well (click to show/hide)

The Vault Sage, inspired by his new position while The Vault Overseer is busy in the squad training, orders 12 iron wheelbarrows and 36 iron minecarts.  He designated the dig site towards the vault.  One spot is saved for a support structure linked to a lever.  Some workshop rooms are also planned just before the vault dig site.

Spoiler: Vault Dig Site (click to show/hide)

Summer arrives.  This is the portion of the mountain that needs to be flattened down to surface level.

Chapter 5: A Warning and Oldsparks

Summer 260.

The Vault Sage decides to increase our population cap by 6 to 25.

The dead walk. Hide While you still can!

We are unprepared, and the invaders announced themselves coming from the northwest:
Eti, a wren woman recruit,
Bilalo’s corpse,
Imere’s corpse, and
Usmza, a vulture woman recruit


The expanded basecamp tower entrance should hold with the double hatch cover entry.  The Fight Club Training continue their training with the outside armor stand they declared as barracks.


However, the vault dig site might be vulnerable, so a bridge is going to be built there in the tunnel entrance

There is also no burrow designations yet, so “Basecamp” and “Vault Construction” burrows are set.  Come inside everyone!

Priority orders are set for a couple of steel axes, spears swords, maces and war hammers. 

Wait, false alarm.  The siege is gone.  They left us alone.  But this just means we need to prepare for outside forces taking over our vault.

Chapter 6: Science, Miner’s Cave-in

Mid-Summer 260.

The time has come to put the theories of science into actual and practical applications.

The first test is to observe a tile of red sand floor, and if it will collapse over a rocky cavern floor.

The setup is to channel down all adjacent floors and stairs.  The target red sand floor is above the shists cavern floor.


A dabbling miner comes over the dig site and channels out the adjacent stairs.  But the red sand floor did not collapse despite having no adjacent floor support.  The last stairs that is situated diagonally is channeled too, and now the red sand floor looks to be floating on air. 


/ooc Save and reload…nothing. 

Oh well, moving on…  The stairs, one level below, are channeled, and a collapse happened!  Ahh, lesson learned.  The up/down stairs below the red sand floor still provided support.  Channeling these up/down stairs leads to the removal of the supports, and the collapse happened.

The result is a success.  The red sand floor is on a level below, over the rocky cavern floor.


But there is injury in this dangerous testing.  The dabbling miner’s lower body and head takes the full force of the impact of the burst of red sand as it collapsed.  The miner is stunned, then regains consciousness, and stands up.

The miner is annoyed after choking on dust, and has a bruised head.

Before anymore testing of collapses and cave-ins, the hospital will need to be setup.

The stone workshops are set with a QSP of normal stone pile.  A QSP for wood logs is also started but no one is hauling logs.

The Fight Club Training squad goes to five teams of two on full-time training schedule.

Science testing continues on the SE Quadrant. 

The second test is to observe whether existing tree saplings and plant bush on the soil layer will survive a collapse down to a layer below.

The next layer of the test is on z+140, and it tree saplings and plant bush.  We will collapse this layer down to z+139 by installing supports that are linked to a lever.  After the collapse, we want to know if the tree saplings and plant bush survive the fall.


The result of test #2 indicates that tree saplings and bushes do not survive a layer collapse.

Mid-autumn 260

Kobolds have been seen sneaking from the northwest.  Invaders have come and announced themselves from the northwest.  So the The Vault Sage concludes that a trap with an entrance from the northwest will be a good idea.

A bridge leads into a cage trapped hallways, then up and down onto a hatch entry, then into another trapped hall with a chained kitten at the end.  The trapped hall continues into a room of sort with furnitures (beds, table and chair).  This room is lockable by raising bridges on both ends.  The trap room leads out into a hall and another hatch entry with some more cage traps.  Finally, this leads to the farm area.

Late autumn 260

The Manager withdraws from society and claims a mason’s shop and grabs a couple of obsidian blocks.  The Manager creates “Twilightfrightened the Animal of Mechanisms”, an obsidian door.
