btw, I saw someone describe making a wooden tube and dropping it into a hole in the aquifer. Basically tunneling out the aquifer, making a big block of solid material above it, and then dropping the block down into the hole, before digging a hole in the block. Or make the block with a premade hole. On a similar note, I saw someone suggesting to make all your noble sleeping chambers above a magma pool, and sinking those rooms into the pool, sending the poor sods away too the depths. Anyone that knows how this works?
I think that the easiest way to make a shaft is to first channel out the part of the aquifer you want as a shaft (usually 3x3 to have plenty of room for dwarves to move around each other), get one or two dwarves pumping out the water (you could just run it into a tunnel that goes all the way to the outside, and just let it spill there, or into a river if you want to be very advanced), and then use masons to smooth the walls down in the shaft, since that prevents water from coming through.

You should find some magma and use it as a source for your forges instead of devastating your wood / charcoal supply.

Wouldn't we have to go through at least two caverns before we got to the magma layer? This is the new version of DF, Magma pipe / pool is not a search option. We could get lucky! But I wouldn't know where to look.

Well, in my new game I was able to find a magma pool fairly easily by going down quite a few layers and digging in all four directions. It may have been sheer luck, though.
EDIT : I forgot to add that I started really deep, too. :X

Just found this coincidentally right after finishing Boatmurdered and Headshoots, so I am all for it. Haven't taken the time to actually learn the game but I would very much like to be named as the first noble to set foot in this godforsaken place. Because if there's something I'm good at it's sitting on my ass and yelling at others for not doing what I want.
