[] An Advanced Steam Tank: Excellent Force Multiplier and can be converted with some effort into a Steam Wagon. (Benefits in the Short Term: Nothing besides a slightly better Steam Engine starting point, Long Term: Massive Force Projection with small numbers and possible Trade ability Increase and shorter research times into steam engines.) (Cost: 35 Iron ore and 8 Advanced Components 2 Tools) (Maintenance 1 Advanced Component and 1 tool)
[] An Advanced Steam Golem: Force Multiplier and has Multiple uses if researched. (Benefits in the Short Term: Not Much but it requires little Infrastructure to build it(Well little compared to some of the more advanced things) Long Term: Better Mining and Hauling Capability along with a Slightly Better Force Projection. Removes some of the required research to make them more dangerous. (Cost: 10/15 Iron ore and 2/1 Advanced Components 4/2 Tools) (Maintenance 2/1 tools) Depends on the variant
[] An Advanced Lift and Train: Better Infrastructure and easier time expanding the hold and getting Trade routes for Force Projection. (Short Term: Harder to build but more efficient overall. Longterm: Removes the need to research lifts so their more efficient and Trains will Increase Trade ability and troop Deployment speed greatly. (Startup Lift Cost: 15 Iron ore and 2 Advanced Components 4 Tools 20 Lumber maintenance: 1 Tool (Same for all lifts)) (Train Cost: 20 Iron for the Train and 30-50 for the Track. Lumber for the Track 40-80 Tools 30) (maintenance 5 Tools) (Long Set up time and requires many years of work to be built)
[] An Advanced Steam Engine (More Efficient and Powerful): Unlocks the ability to research the alcohol Engine almost straight away and is also cheaper to construct and maintain than the majority of other previous engines. (Reduces the Cost of Advanced components in war machines and also the Maintenance.) (Provides a few bonuses to the hall's within the Hold such as the Forge. Though they will cost a bit)
[] Zhufbar Mining Drills along with a few in a cart(Speeds up Construction of Halls (10 Uses before they of no more use)) (Short Term: Increased building speed if used also the ability to reverse engineer the top tier Drills instead of having to research them. Also, make for a good trade Item among Miners. (long-term benefits are that they lead to advanced mining tech such as large Tunnelers which are great for building underways)
You guys do have designs for all these things in your archives but they will just cost more to maintain and build compared to their advanced options and you can even reach the designs through research it just takes more effort to cost less. (So you won't lose anything it just a choice to see what you want to have roughly around the start)
(added this to the main update in case some one does not look for this)

I really do think we should go for steam golems. We need to increase our mining capacity if we want to do any large project, or ease our pop dedicated to mining, in exchange for wood.
They'd also likely help with wood production, as they haul it back to the hold, while our dawi focus on deforresting

Omake: farming 101
"Alright master Guirnir, now take the blade, and insert it into the wooden structure."
"You sure this is the right spot? I'm sure it would have less drag if I placed it higher up..."
A loud slap filled the narrow valley as Rorek Gobbersson's palm merged with his face.
Why in Valayas name was he tasked with leading the engineer core in setting up the farm... ah yeah, they'd refused to waste their tools on mining... wazzocks the lot of them.
"It's supposed to do that master, it's going to be tied to Bertha here" (the little pony whinnied at her name) "and together as she pulls as you steer it, you're going to plough the soil".
The master engineer glared at the pony as she loosed some of the content of her bowels onto the ground we would no doubt trod upon. "You sure we need it. I've at least 2 apprentices that need a good workout. Bellies almost reaching the workstations."
——
Rorek sighed. "Sadly master they volunteered for the mines, something about testing their 'new tools'." The engineer growled.
"Alright then." He sighed in defeat. "Now how do I get this 'thing'." (Bertha snorted at him) "moving again?"
"Atta lass is the usual." Rorek sighed, as the elder continued to grumble. "Though she also likes us talking in old Khazalid. She's even been capturing on to orders in it quite well if you ask me."
The pony turned to face him, giving a little whiny at him almost in recognition. Before turning to glare at the elder.
The elder shriveled. "Alright, then. Erm... atta girl?"
"Alright master Guirnir, now take the blade, and insert it into the wooden structure."

Traits
Charismatic: This dawi is uncannily good at winning over anyone to his side, even non-dawi which is something to be appreciated. (Doubles relations gained from diplomacy actions)
Merchant: This dawi is well versed in dawi economy and haggling and knows the best way to get a quick bit of gold and at the best price. (+15% income from all trade deals done by this advisor)
Fast Friends: This Dawi could make friends with even the most bigoted of umgi, which is a good thing since they tend to be generous and while the friendships will pass in but a few moments the value of friendship amongst allies is always bound to bring good things. (Can bring unique bonuses to diplomatic ventures such as getting aid from them or other similar bonuses)
Shrewd: This Dawi has been noted to make good judgements both for himself and for those involved. Though a tad annoying with his rather undawi like behaviour. (Provides a passive buff to trade partners improving their overall standing in terms of troops and slight increase to dwarf factions growth)
Compromiser: A strange dawi he is to be able to find such unique ways in which to settle a grudge and while not always successful at least you can be sure there is at least some way to avoid blood or gold being drawn and spent. (Grudges that occur within the hold that are unable to be settled by the Reckoners can possibly be resolved by this dawi)
Radical Engineer: This dawi has Radical leanings within the guild and while not an issue will no doubt lend greater weight to his sect's voice within the hold. (Provides Radical Leaning for Engineers Guild.) (Increases chances of Master Engineers Hall producing Radical based equipment) (Reduced upkeep for land-based War machines by 10%)

Traits
Learner Through Action: You have learned through your life that a book is of little use to you in learning new skills and would much rather learn directly from your elders or experience and find yourself more accustomed to it. ( Without an Advisor, you only progress half of what you rolled but with them you gain x5 to your rolls instead of x4)
Blessed of Grimnir: Your Blood sings for battle and your skill shows this as many a foe has learned to fear you(You are skilled in combat and learn the use of a weapon far faster than many others +40 To Weapon Practice rolls)
Blessed Marksman: Few can match your skill with a gun or crossbow and few live to tell of your skill. (Increased Skill Cap to 30 for ranged weapons)
