gui/journal

The gui/journal interface makes it easy to take notes and document important details for the fortresses.

With this multi-line text editor, you can keep track of your fortress’s background story, goals, notable events, and both short- and long-term plans.

This is particularly useful when you need to take a longer break from the game. Having detailed notes makes it much easier to resume your game after a few weeks or months without losing track of your progress and objectives.
