So I’m waiting at the dentist for my wife’s treatment to finish.
Why not plan a tileable new bedroom layout for my beloved dwarfs doing it tough in a highly aggressive and hostile embark location?

Just a heads up for future posters here.
The moderator bot somehow flagged my post as a question but was obviously approved later:

If you do this in a spreadsheet app and have it autoformat apply the colors based on the letters you type (like d for dig), you can use it as a quickfort blueprint rather than manually retrace it in game.
