    Analysis Paralysis

    I still consider myself a beginner at Dwarf Fortress, but I have a personality type that loves to obsessively probe & learn systems, so Dwarf Fortress represented a large repository of systems to learn for the sake of learning.

    Lately I haven't been playing as much. I have loaded up a bunch of different worlds, stared at them, poked around a bit but ended up never unpausing and I quit without saving any changes. Until now I've designed every single fortress around teaching myself whichever mechanics I feel I have not yet learned. Now I'm at the point where I need to collect all that I have learned and use it to play a fortress that exists for its own sake, and I find myself completely stuck. Now that I have a basic understanding of most of the key systems in this game, deciding a way forward and committing to a plan has become profoundly more difficult

    In the last few weeks I've created three different forts, and on each of them I stalled on year 3 and I start to feel directionless, or like I'm just doing chores. Despite this, I still think about Dwarf Fortress a lot, and I still want to play. I don't feel done with this game yet, I've just hit a weird wall where my approach to the game is no longer compatible with how I need to play going forward.

    I'd be curious to find out if anyone has a similar kind of wall during their time with the game, and what they ended up learning from it.

    I've been having trouble keeping track of the years in my game, so I made a calendar! It has all of the months, time of season, date of each full moon, caravan type for each season and Gregorian equivalent for both Northern and Southern Hemispheres! Enjoy :)

    What is the craziest story from your time playing Dwarf Fortress? I want to start playing it soon so I want to know the crazy things that I can look forward to.
