| ☼Bi-weekly DF Questions Thread☼ Posted: 12 Oct 2019 05:06 PM PDT Ask about anything related to Dwarf Fortress - including the game, utilities, bugs, problems you're having, mods, etc. You will get fast and friendly responses in this thread. Read the sidebar before posting! It has information on a range of game packages for new players, and links to all the best tutorials and quick-start guides. If you have read it and that hasn't helped, mention that! You should also take five minutes to search the wiki - if tutorials or the quickstart guide can't help, it usually has the information you're after. You can find the previous questions thread here. If you can answer questions, please sort by new and lend a hand - linking to a helpful resource (eg wiki page) is fine. [link] [comments] | ||

What in the name of the glowing pits is this about?
It is time to return to our roots, and so we shall. Thirty. Three. Days. Of. Dwarf. Starting on 10/1 and proceeding through the Extra Life 2019 Game Day event on 11/2, I'm going to stream and teach what I know. Every. Single. Day.
I like to do things when there's more than one reason to do them:
Basically, I'll stream in the evenings most days for an hour or two. On Saturdays and Sundays, we'll generally run a little longer, but I'm going to stream every day if it means I have to get up at 3am to do it. (For the record, we've averaged 3.42 hours per day over the first week!) On 11/2, we're going to culminate with a 24-hour long livestream, as part of the Extra Life charity event. I don't use Facebook, etc. and people may want to donate to Extra Life 2019, even if they're not supporting my efforts directly. Feel free to share my donations link, or to direct people to the charity's main page.
Well, aside from helping to support my local children's hospital (good vibes, ho!) I'll be pushing out tutorial game(s) live on stream as part of the event. Your donations are a spur in that direction applied to my backside. You can even attend the event with me, since I'll be broadcasting live on my stream the whole time! ...but if that's not enough for you?
Anonymous or not, if I can make it work, everyone will know you're supporting kids that need it.
If you're not naming him something awful, it'll even happen. You're welcome to request a trade for the dwarf, if I have one suitable to match it! If we run more than one fort, donator dwarves will show up in all forts after the one where you donated!
If none are available, I'll have to use a migrant. (I won't be advising when the window closes. We call this 'Early cat catches the dwarf'. Move fast, some have already been claimed.) As above, if you donate on the first fort of our event, we'll put that same dwarf into the starting seven every fort thereafter!
Want me to embark on a reanimating evil biome with a necromancer next door? It's your call. I'll save the current stream fort, and start a new one on the spot with settings as close to your request as I can manage on the fly, and run with it until it dies or I do. If someone else flips the script on you before I finish, you can either donate again to flip if back or wait for their fort to exhaust before I resume yours. Your choice. (We call this one 'Last dwarf gets the sock.')
Some limits on this are required for sanity's sake. If you're really thinking you'd like to do this, send me a message and we'll work out the details beforehand! At some point, I'll get back to the stream fort, but for a truly generous donation, I'm 100% willing to give up some time and show off anything you'd like, live and on the spot. You can find a link to my Steam profile (which contains a list of potential games I could probably get set up for streaming) here if you're considering this. (And if it's something we can do multiplayer, we can even try that too, which would be a stream first.)
Wait....Thirty days of tutorials for Dwarf Fortress as part of a charity drive?
Thirty-three days, actually. It was the wife's idea - she suggested that you folks might like to get a newer version of my original tutorial, and that this might be a good avenue to combine hardcore Dwarf Fortress fanatics, who are already a generous and supporting community, with a charitable cause to support. I didn't have much luck finding a flaw in her reasoning, so I bit the bullet and advertised it at work, too, despite my trepidation regarding drawing personal attention there.
We'll be putting the newest version of the starter pack and Dwarf Fortress through its paces as we (attempt to) start a new tutorial series for v 0.44.12. (Note: If there's an update and it seems relatively bug free, I'll try for the newer version, but I'm aiming this at newer players, so trying to ride the cutting edge isn't really in the cards.) Past demonstrations (From v.34 to present) have included glaciers, deserts, sites with necromancer towers adjacent, as well as discussion on how to influence worldgen to get what you want. Our first one will be a more sedate embark, designed and chosen for relatively newer players, and we'll start with worldgen as though we're looking at a fresh install. Goal: My goal for "Tutorial Night" is to walk new players through an embark using the DF Starter Pack. (Explicit thanks to /u/PeridexisErrant who I admire for his dedication, which is studded with perseverance and ringed with bands of my gratitude! Without his efforts, a tutorial for installing and configuring everything for the game and its add-ons would be a sizable task unto itself. I've devoted multiple-hours of stream to demonstrating it 'the hard way'!) Along the way, I'll provide examples of the setup and tools I use to play Dwarf Fortress, as a guidepost for new players. What I'm really trying to do is give new players a reference point they can come back to on how to set up a world, embark on a site, and stand a reasonable chance of employing a fairly basic and standard design to build a workable fortress wherever they may need to start one. Stream Info: The channel rules are simple: Respect Wheaton's Law and you'll be fine. Just don't expect the content of the broadcast to be 100% suitable for children; Sorry, kids. I'm much too low-brow for a guaranteed clean broadcast. Get your parents' permission, etc etc. If you have questions you might like answered with a demonstration, and not simply a quick post in the weekly questions thread, I'm your guy. I'll do my best to demonstrate just about anything you can think up - aquifers, megaprojects and magma pistons aside. (Minecarts may get covered, but don't expect anything computational or timer based - I'm a casual player, not a dwarven mechanical engineer.) You can view the stream here, as well as on the donations page for Extra Life. Later Goals: At some point in this fortress, I'll walk players through my 'most commonly used' tools in DFHack and in the utilities that come packaged in the DF Starter Pack and how I use them to construct a simple, basic, and tightly run fortress that can support as many dwarves as my PC can haul, defend itself against all comers, and handle just about anything. I also will demonstrate Quickfort at some point for those who've never taken advantage of it! We'll certainly touch on Dwarf Therapist, and discuss how I use it to control the behavior and organization of my New players, your questions (no matter how 'silly' you may think they are) are 100% welcome, as they're the whole point to the broadcast! Join us and ask them! If you can't make it (or are not willing to brave my often vulgar displays of unsuitability) and still have questions you can't seem to figure out, post them in the DF Bi-Weekly Questions Thread for this week and I'll do my best to help you overcome your obstacles, if the expert players haven't gotten there first! (Obligatory: Yesss... Join usss... Join the Dark Side... We have cookies!)
On that note, experienced players who want to follow along are certainly welcome (and often manage to teach me a thing or two, directly or not) but the main thrust of the stream will be to help new players get over the introductory hump to start playing at a deeper level, so you may find yourself paying less attention to the pace of the stream and more attention to your fellow audience members. I do love having a few veterans show up, though, because my fortress designs always get better when I'm shown a method I've never used!
Please don't go. The children need you. Please donate if you are able. On behalf of Riley and Extra Life: Thank you, in advance, for your generosity!

| The werehyena who destroyed an entire fort Posted: 12 Oct 2019 06:17 PM PDT Hey guys! DF newbie here! I started playing my first game of dwarf fortress a few days ago and I have a story. Will you sit and listen to a newb's story? I was building a fort in a hill, it was.... nice I guess. Huge dormitory the dwarfs didn't like sleeping in, HUGE farm with not enough seeds to plant and dining area where people drank from the barrel. Yes, I know, newby problem. I started to dig down and struck gems of multiple colors, limestone everywhere and.... no ores. I got tired of only hearing my dwarf friend complaining about the drinking-straight-from-the-barrel problem so I set up a craftdwarfs workshop. It was mug making time. Oh I'm cuttin the time of trying to find how to make the mugs, took me ages. Nobody used them and still complained. I left them alone. Anyway I made some limestone crafts, decorated them with gems and waited for a trader. When suddenly... Immigrants. WOO MY FORT HAD SUCH A GOOD NAME IT GOT PEOPLE WANTING TO JOIN! Their funeral. After a while a trader did come. (After the first one who I literally sold wood and rocks because I didn't understand how to craft anything.) I sold him a lot of stuff for mostly food and a tiny amount of copper. But then... a dreaded beast appears on the hills to the north. A werehyena.... ....who killed 6 of my dwarfs and fucked off. I didn't bury them untill they started to haunt us. I thought a " corpse stockpile" was enough. After a long time I started to understand how the game worked, I made new rooms to accommodate my new immigrants. My fort had a sizable community living in it, and people were moderately happy. But then... he came... The werehyena.... a second one at lest. But this time. I was ready. I sent my two squads to hunt this werebeast as a revenge to our fallen brethren. The dwarfs fought hard but prevailed, killing the beast. Some were killed but one was injured. Anyway I got back to try and fix the dining area when one of my dwarfs TRANSFORMED. WHAT? Did we let in an immigrant who was secretly a werehyena!? Sent my dwarf squads and multiple people were injured. I finally settle the tavern and ... everything is working! After hours.... people are happy, socializing and drinking, I even had guests! 63 dwarfs were In my fort, enjoying life. Untill I get a message. 4 dwarfs transformed in to werehyenas The 4 who transformed were 2 kids, the gem cutter and a carpenter. The same 4 who were injured. Two of them were massacring my dwarfs in the tavern while the two others stayed below, in the rooms slaughtering everyone. The population dropped To 15. The rest who survived gathers down in to the hospital, all injured in there. Then I understood why all the transformations. Those who are injured by the werebeasts, become them. Oh fuck. THE INJERD. Does this mean...? Yup. 6 transformed and killed everyone. I learned a lot from this first fort. And I feel the next will be better. But what I really learned was.... Not to fuck with werebeasts [link] [comments] | ||
| My dwarves don't store items in stockpiles Posted: 13 Oct 2019 09:30 AM PDT Hi everyone, To begin my new fortress, I created a stockpile who can store everything. It works great and my dwarves started their job and hauled everything in this stockpile. But now, I want to create specific stockpiles near some workshops. For instance, I want to store raw fish near the fishery or rough gems near the jewelry. To do so, I created the corresponding stockpile with the good configuration near to my workshop and I disabled the storage of this kind of items in my original stockpile. Unfortunately, my dwarves don't care of this new configuration and don't use my new stockpiles. What did I wrong? [link] [comments] | ||

| Finally encountering true !FUN! Posted: 12 Oct 2019 01:40 PM PDT I've done a few forts with relative quiet(my glacier fort doomed to wereinfection being the worst. And that was probably more poor planning than a threat) and got a new fort, demanding tribute, conquered a site, whatnot. Go to demand more tribute and apparently, best I can tell, which is unlikely to be 100% accurate, I provoked a war with some humans. My first siege. While my three squads were out. Two razing one of their cities, the third was basically more a title. Could demand some tribute or anything, though they were all unskilled, just enough to intimidate. Apparently dwarfs without do much as a crossbow or a metal industry can work to intimidate. (Had no real wood so I breached cavern one looking for magma. Probably the only one I've found without magma and forgot to set it up now that I have mushroom caps.) first time breaching the second cavern. Human raids. Evidently my theory didn't work as my bridge does not look enemies out. Frantic rebuilding mid siege. And I lived. Goblins invaded. Nearest civilization of there's if I'm not mistaken is probably a ten day trip or so. And practically borders my home civ. And the siege is over(ignoring the two or so still shooting bolts at me.). And oh hey, a forgotten beast. My first forgotten beast. Wait. Oh dear armok. Mercy for me, he says be none. And that's where I'm paused. Can't say wether I should just seal the cavern, or hope for the best, as that path is trapped against like a rat coming in, maybe a troll, at most. And I don't think that second layer runs through those traps now that I think about it. And my military is away, and I'm sure it's blood said something of a syndrome. Not that I remember what it is. As such, let's see how the motto of ours holds up, though I'd take some last minute advice. Well, off to !FUN! Edit. I SURVIVED. SUCKER. ITS CORPSE IS...SOMEWHERE. I DIDNT PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT THEY DID WITH IT AS I WAS TO FOCUSED ON THE FOLLOWING TITAN ATTACK. MY FIRST TITAN. KILLED. LONG LIVE THE DWARVEN FORTRESS OF EMERALDWORK FOR IT HAS WITHSTOOD.

| Posted: 12 Oct 2019 01:02 PM PDT My expedition leader was standing still for so long! I noticed him and tried to unassign his current job (which was looking for small animals I think) Then I thought he was bugged in the same place! Cause no matter what I did, he would still be stuck on the same place. Oh dayum, nothing I could do for the lad. Knew he would perish soon, he is dehydrated and starving. There he goes! He passed... 10 minutes later I figured I accidentally floored the stairs leading to that room. And the poor lad wasn't glitched. Only stuck! I feel bad about him. Hopefully his soul forgive my mistake Oh well, we learn something everyday right? [link] [comments] |
