- move the first apartments level up in the checklist. it's usually needed before some of the "frills" blueprints
- remove unreliable `addcloak` alias from the `/setup` blueprint and replace it with a message that suggests manually adding leather cloaks to uniforms. We'll find a way to automate this someday.
- add instructions for expanding the `Inside` burrow as the fort is built
- add two craftsdwarf's workshops to the industry level, for a total of three. add suggestions for setting their profiles to restrict them individually to wood, stone, and bones
- add suggestion for restricting the mechanic's workshop to only be used by skilled dwarves
- widen the 1-wide corridor in the apartments level to 2-wide. the blueprint still fits within the footprint of the suites level, so we still fit fine in a 1x1 embark.

"Also consider bringing magma up to your services level so you can replace the forge and furnaces on your industry level with more powerful magma versions. This is especially important if your embark has insufficient trees to convert into charcoal. Keep in mind that setting up a powered pump stack is a tricky process and can take a long time. Don't forget to continue making progress through the checklist as you prepare to pump your magma! If you are going to pump magma, I suggest doing it before importing the military and smelting automation orders since they make heavy use of smelters and forges."

Optional manual steps you can take:
- Restrict the Mechanic's workshop to only allow skilled workers so unskilled trap-resetters won't be tasked to build mechanisms.
"- Restrict the Craftsdwarf's workshops to only allow labors that take from the adjacent stockpiles. That is, only allow Woodcrafting for the Craftsdwarf's workshop on the left near the wood stockpile, Stonecrafting for the Craftsdwarf's workship near the Mason's workshops, and Bonecrafting for the Craftsdwarf's workshop near the Clothier's workshop."
