    ☼Bi-weekly DF Questions Thread☼

    Posted: 18 Mar 2021 05:09 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.

    I made a video to introduce Dwarf Fortress to my in-laws.

    I made a video to introduce Dwarf Fortress to my in-laws.

    Hello DF Reddit,

    Very nervous first-time poster here.

    I would like to share a video I made as an attempt to introduce/explain Dwarf Fortress to my non-gamer friends and families. I, eh, had my husband's aunt in mind, when I made this.

    https://preview.redd.it/vndim20740o61.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=8af82bea7b60b9b78f5defb388d423d81659eb2f

    Although I am such a noob comparing to everyone here, and only started playing DF in 2019, I thought you might still get some laughs out of it. I also share my journey into DF from Kruggsmash's wonderful channel and show one of my "bugged" fortresses.

    Feel free to share the video with people around you, to whom you have been wanting to explain this delight that is Dwarf Fortress.

    Like comment and subscription are dearly appreciated if you enjoyed it. It is a brand new channel, where I would like to share more small delights that might be odd and quirky and make videos on crazy random adventures I have made over the years (before I can go on new adventures again after covid).

    The next video would be about the time when a girlfriend and I climbed Kilimanjaro at -20 degrees celsius, after the summit my tooth started to hurt and I had to rush down to a jungle hospital to get half of a root channel operation...

    Anyhow, sorry about the randomness of it all. Hope this type of post is allowed?

    Oh! Here is the video:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyzVH903qRA

    Dwarf Fortress teaches me not to cheat

    Posted: 19 Mar 2021 10:31 AM PDT

    Ok so, I realized that with DFHack, you could spawn items in, and such and so forth. So, I decided to create an adamantine-clad super dwarf. Normal stuff really, thought I would just get bored after a while.

    So, as I go along my business, get a quest to kill some giant-kin or the other, and travel into the wilderness. Alone.

    Unfortunately, as I am pacing my way to the beast's lair, I run into a pack of dingoes. I think to myself "Wow, this can't be that bad, it's just a couple of dozen dingoes". I was wrong.

    They start attacking me. Me, being the idiot I am, decide to just run into their roiling masses, sure they couldn't get through my armour. And, for a while, I was right, but since just wildly slashing around is inaccurate, and dodging tiring, I managed to faint.

    At this point, I was starting to get worried, but I thought there was still no way they could kill me. Unfortunately, I would not wake up from that little nap.

    Somehow, one of the dingoes managed to crush my head. I'm not exactly sure how because at that point I decided I was probably done with DF for the day, and left my dwarfs corpse there. I never really even bothered to learn his name.

    So that's how dingoes managed to kill my god-character not thirty minutes after I created him, and how I learned not to cheat.

    I never knew cooks could make artifacts...

    Possessions suck.

    Posted: 19 Mar 2021 12:15 AM PDT

    For a mood, you'll probably get a useless artifact, but you get a legendary dwarf who is happy and productive from that day forward.

    For a possession, you get a useless artifact and a useless dwarf, who has achieved their peak, and has no hope from now on.

    Or, at least, the possessed peasant who just made a nice earring is still a useless hauler.

    My current fort is 3 moods and 5 possessions, but I've had one that was 3/17 and that hurt.

    I was today years old when I realized you can cut platinum gems for artifacts (cushions technically)

    College of Dwarfology - Chapter 10 (Using the manager to automate your clothes industry)

    Posted: 18 Mar 2021 01:40 PM PDT

    In this chapter, we discuss how to set up an automated clothing system early on in the fort's life. With a little bit of a delve into the automated management system in Dwarf Fortress, it is almost a set it and forget it system. All it requires is a little priming to get the plant pump working and it's smooth sailing from there.

    This chapter can be found at:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwIgFFF1vWA

    and the main dwarfology thread can be found at:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/ely84n/college_of_dwarfology/

    ​

    Special Thanks to:

    SuperPluck

    Automation/proper setup of a soap (with rock nuts) and/or clothing industry should be a nice subject too.

    Regu1us

    This really helps, I will be looking at this guide for my next fort. Would you consider a chapter on automating industries?

    and Clinodev

    If there's a good manager video I haven't run across it.

    for this and the next few chapters topics

    ​

    If you'd like to request a chapter for the college of dwarfology guidebook let me know, trust me it really helps.

    You can also find me on and off again in the bi-weekly threads answering simpler questions and skimming for dwarfology ideas.

    Necromancy research -- Lycanthropy cure?

    Posted: 18 Mar 2021 10:35 AM PDT

    After my success with curing various states of madness through raising from the dead (that is to say, killing the afflicted then raising them back to life as an intelligent undead), I've since turned my attention to other maladies that might be ameliorated through the process. The first I've set my sights on is that of those poor werecreatures.

    Unfortunately, my initial test results have not been promising. Being raised as an intelligent undead does nothing to remove the curse of lycanthropy from a victim. It merely leaves them emotionless.

    HOWEVER

    I will try again with another patient. This one I will puncture repeatedly while in the transformed state. Perhaps dying as a weresheep will help the necromancer bypass the lycanthropy upon raising. I will post an update as soon as the results of that test come in.

    UPDATE:

    The necromancer raised the dead weresheep as a standard zombie, so no useful information was acquired. Now I'll have to wait for the next weresheep attack before doing any further tests.
