It's largely a matter of playstyle, Mr Kydo. My top priority when I start a fort is getting farms up and running, so I have the idle dwarfpower necessary to form a bucket brigade. With four buckets (built from freshly-slain trees), I can have my sweet pod plot ready for planting by (and sometimes before) mid-spring, with four to five more farms irrigated by mid-summer. Around that time, my miner has finished the initial plant storerooms with enough extra space for my bucket brigade to abandon their buckets and put their workshops in the corners. I also abhor unnecessary entrances to my fort, even when they're underwater and through a floodgate.

On a map with murky pools, just dig out a room near it (with a door) and flood the room with the water from the pool.  Remove door to let water drain out once the room's floor is adequately covered.  Or drain the excess water into a lower-down room and then build a well over the top.  Once the pool is fully drained, you'll need to close it off with a door or wall (you won't need to re-irrigate later).

Some tips and tricks (like the jeweler and furniture) should probably be replaced with more convenient (once all is set up) ones that include burrows and workshop profiles. I don't use them much so please verify with your own experience what works and add to the article.--[[User:Another|Another]] 16:13, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
