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.

forgotten beasts are freaking me out

Posted: 23 Apr 2020 10:00 PM PDT

honestly, their description is so gross and odd that it always gives me goosebumps when I read them. and kruggsmash drawings does not make anything better

this game is awesome but I hate caverns so much, everything that lives here is awful. kinda feel like the same way I found for the first time a cavern in minecraft when I was 12. horrifying moment

The pant bandits of Granitetown

Posted: 24 Apr 2020 12:37 PM PDT

In 254 artifact trousers were woven in Granitetown, an above ground town of 30 dwarves. They had never been attacked and only had Lilith, a competent swordsdwarf, and Strider, a skilled marksdwarf to defend it.

In 256 the broker Emily showed off the pants in the tavern. Rumors spread, until one day the goblin Id in 257 declared outside the gate that he would have the pants. The tavern erupted into civil war as human bandits disguised as travelers began shooting crossbows into the crowd. Many animals were mutilated and the legendary metalsmith Mercury was brutally shot in the neck and choked to death.

Outside, Emily was trying to sneak into the town. Id saw her, and the swordgoblin brutally stabbed her over and over on the front entrance stone floor until she died.

Granitetown citizens formed militias and beat the everliving shit out of the crossbow pant bandits. It turned out the dwarven outpost liaison was a traitor! They dragged him to the alley behind the tavern and beat him to death. We never got another liaison.

The only reason the town survived was Strider, who shot his entire quiver into Id and fought him off, but was struck down mercilessly in the end, a warriors death. Lilith was not so lucky. I have never seen teeth, bone, etc fly up and away from a dwarf like when Id approached Lilith. It made me sick watching the tiles.

Id saw that his pant bandits had been beaten to death. Wounded from Strider, he fled, four dwarves out of a 30 dwarf town murdered. The pant bandits would have those pants one day.

A Goblin's World

Posted: 23 Apr 2020 06:17 PM PDT

A pocket island with 43,563 Goblins in 5 Goblin Civs and 65 Dwarves split among Goblin Civs and one surviving Dwarven Civ. Short history/young world (256 years). No Elves. No Humans. Lots of open space.

Hi there! My name is Oversalt and for years I have quietly relied on this community's tips and advice to learn and try new things so please allow me to give a little something back with these hopefully useful comparisons.

Below are a few comparisons of the available tile-sets (graphics mods) that come packed in with PeridexisErrant's (Lazy Newb) Starter Pack for Dwarf Fortress.
