- You guys made my first DF stream so great! Last time we got a basic fortress down and touched the first caves. A nearby necromancer tower seems to have taken notice and sent a single night creature. At 7PM EST, when this post is 3 hours old, I'll be live again to continue! Come say Hi!
| This game legitimately has the best community compared to any other Posted: 22 Oct 2020 07:10 AM PDT I just wanted to make a small thank you post. I'm still pretty new to dwarf fortress and decided to stream it twice this week. Many of you dropped by both times making it my most watched and interacted with streams BY FAR. I half expected to be met with criticism since I still struggle with the menus and getting things to work like burrows and citizen alerts, but instead got tips or just confirmation that the menus are indeed hard to work with sometimes. Most other game communities don't support small streamers at all really, so again thank you. I may not always be streaming Dwarf Fortress, but it has quickly become my favorite to stream thanks to the community! [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 22 Oct 2020 05:59 AM PDT I introduced my friend to play DF. What are the best resources for newbies aside from Das Tactic on YT? I also told him that dwarves love digging as deep as possible and that he shouldn't stop digging when he finds candy. Am I a bad person? [link] [comments] | ||
| Tavern keeper got his foot torn off by a jabberer. It is now his pet Posted: 22 Oct 2020 08:42 AM PDT the jabberer just beat the mess out of him and ripped his left foot off and than wandered onto a cage trap. It only seemed correct that we force them to become best friends [link] [comments] | ||
| HOW DO PEOPLE EVEN PLAY ADVENTURE MODE Posted: 22 Oct 2020 05:27 AM PDT I wanted to make someone to start a long quest for vengeance against all necromancers but especially the weeny fuck who attacked my most recent 'fort' of 7 Dwarfs the very summer after their arrival. I don't even get how to LEAVE my starting town. :') [link] [comments] | ||
| Can I switch tilesets mid-playthrough and what are some good tilesets in your opinion Posted: 22 Oct 2020 03:56 AM PDT So I started playing again and am in need of some cool tilesets. I used to play with Kruggsmash's tileset but I want to change it up a bit. Any advice and suggestions are most welcome! [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 22 Oct 2020 09:03 AM PDT Little overview - I played this game a good bit a couple years ago and was decent at it, never done anything super complex or managed a gigantic fort or anything like that but I could handle what I was doing without too much issue. I started a new human fort two days ago, was up to like 50 people + 13 or so kids. Progress is slow because im relearning the game and got attacked by a Wererabbit. Poorly equipped 3 man Military got killed but hurt it pretty bad, second wave of civilian conscripts finished it off by cutting it in half with a pickaxe - 5 dead total, 3 severely wounded. Didnt think it went too bad, converted my meeting hall into a quick hospital and conscripted 4 doctors to help the wounded. Not sure if its a new thing because im pretty sure ive fought WereX's a couple years back when I played, but my wounded became were creatures themselves, which makes sense I guess. Set my meeting spot outside since I didnt want them sitting in the new hospital however the kids that were sitting in there didnt move, so they got the business by the now 3 Werepeople. Sent my conscripts in again who by now had picked up the KIA'd militaries old gear and managed to kill the werepeople pretty quick this time, however there are some injuries (3 again). So my questions are: 1) Does any injury by a WereX turn the person injured and another Wereguy? and 2) Prior to the attack I had just received a 20 man migration that I didnt get a chance to organize before the WereRabbit came in. I conscripted 4 of them to be doctors. After the wounded came back as Werepeople one of the doctors (Anthil Sipkatkem) now has the epithet "Human Hunter Necromancer" at the end of their name and looking at her stats appears to be 110 years old and very large (100,000cm3) with excellent (all 75+) combat stats. She doesnt appear to be doing anything evil, so is she a threat or some retired ass necromancer who just lives here now? (Funnily and probably predictably all her 'emotions' for the deaths/wererabbit attacks/heavy combat is 'Feels Nothing') What do? Edit: Whelp boys I take it back. Wererabbits got me in the end. 50 Dead. Necromancer-Doctor-Militia Captain and all her zombies fought valiantly however ~10 wererabbits were too much in the end. [link] [comments] | ||

| Thirty-Eight Days of Dwarf: Day 21 (Extra Life 2020!) 7pm EDT! Posted: 21 Oct 2020 02:51 PM PDT (Fortress needs a purpose. What should we do with this one?)
Hey guys! I'm /u/Nameless_Archon, and I provide tutorials on how to play Dwarf Fortress every year (health permitting) while I try to raise money for sick kids.
What in the name of the glowing pits is this about?
It is time to return to our roots, and so we shall: Thirty. Eight. Days. Of. Dwarf. Starting on 10/1 and proceeding through the Extra Life 2019 Game Day event on 11/7, I'm going to stream and teach what little I know. Dwarves. Every. Single. Day.
I like to do things when there's more than one reason to do them:
We've started out like I usually do - streaming a basic, sustainable fortress. However, the reality of the situation is that thirty-three days of Basic Base Building 101 is going to probably bore the pants off people (including me) and I don't really want things to be boring. So we're going to have to do a few things along the way to try to spice things up, and along the way likely reveal that I'm just an average player like everyone else. (Dwarves dying of starvation and frostbite on a glacier? Likelier than you think!) Basically, I'll stream in the evenings most days for a few hours. On Saturdays and Sundays, we'll generally run a little longer, but I'm going to stream every day until 11/7 even if it means I have to get up at 3am to do it. On 11/7, we're going to culminate with a 24-hour long livestream, as part of the worldwide Extra Life charity event. I don't use Twitter, Facebook, etc. and people may want to donate to Extra Life 2020, 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, 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! SEVERAL DONATORS HAVE CLAIMED A NAMED MIGRANT FOR ALL 38 DAYS. Are you next?
If none are available, I'll have to use a migrant. (We call this 'Early cat catches the dwarf'. Move fast.) 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! SOME OF THE STARTING SEVEN HAVE ALREADY BEEN CLAIMED! Will yours be next?
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. Let's talk first. 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-eight 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. (Last year, they contributed only a sixth of our total collection, because the players and viewers - people like you and I - were far more generous!)
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 0.47.04. (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 (like Day 1 this year...) 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 and others who I admire for their dedication, which is studded with perseverance and ringed with bands of my gratitude! Without those efforts, a tutorial for installing and configuring everything for the game and its add-ons would be a sizable task unto itself. I've actually devoted many 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!
<= Prior Day (Day 20) - Next Event (Day 22) =>
