| ☼Bi-weekly DF Questions Thread☼ Posted: 07 Oct 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. [link] [comments] | ||

| Cruel and Unusual Adventurer Kills Posted: 08 Oct 2021 01:04 AM PDT So I've decided to get into Dwarf Fortress properly, and that involves a real fortress and a real adventure. And this adventurer is an absolute clown. I've just been relying on three skills to get by, and hilariously enough they're paying the bills handily. I've got Wrestling, Throwing, and Biting. And after accomplishing a horrifying murder spree on a sleeping castle, I got to thinking... What's some of your 'shining moments' that got people horribly killed? The only one I have so far is killing a trader by pelting him with the coins he gave me. All 88 of them. [link] [comments] | ||
| Thirty. Seven. Days. Of. Dwarf: Day 8 - Risen Anew (10/8, 7pm EST, Extra Life 2021!) Posted: 08 Oct 2021 11:01 AM PDT By overwhelming audience request, we start anew after a loyalty cascade in the dining hall/tavern complex (40+ dwarves dead or hospitalized) to avoid the slog of rebuilding! (If you'd rather we stuck to it, you should have been there to vote!)
Hey guys! I'm /u/Nameless_Archon, and I provide tutorials on how to play Dwarf Fortress every year 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. Seven. Days. Of. Dwarf. Starting on 10/1 and proceeding through the Extra Life 2021 Game Day event on 11/6 and 11/7, I'm going to stream and teach what little I know at https://www.twitch.tv/nirruden. 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-seven 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, or at different times but I'm going to stream every day until 11/6 even if it means I have to get up at 3am to do it. On 11/6, we're going to culminate with a 24-hour long livestream, as part of the worldwide Extra Life charity event, ending on 11/7! I don't use Twitter, Facebook, etc. and people may want to donate to Extra Life 2021, 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!
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 MAY 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-some days of tutorials for Dwarf Fortress as part of a charity drive?
Thirty-seven 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 about 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 0.47.05. (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 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 try to demonstrate Quickfort at some point for those who've never taken advantage of it - there's a new version and I've got to learn to use it properly! 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!

| Posted: 07 Oct 2021 01:18 PM PDT Hey all. I saw a post earlier here about a dwarf fortress terrarium and fell in love with the idea. I now have mine set up and it is also streaming via twitch and YouTube for anyone interested. Youtube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCyB_KejmGBHZdfJxXsL89Ew Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/durad_ivom Why would you be interested? Idk, tbh. I have the stream available to view throughout multiple devices in my house because I love this game lol. Anyway hope you find some value / fun with it. [link] [comments] | ||
| Thirty. Seven. Days. Of. Dwarf. Day 7 - A Week of Years. (7pm EST, Extra Life 2021!) Posted: 07 Oct 2021 01:04 PM PDT We continue to face and overcome -- we strike the earth. Giant Wrens: nomnomnomnomnom Religious Nutters: Mollified by bug workaround - new test to be run soon. Goblin Snatchers: Beaten to death by angry dwarves encircling them from all sides. Invading Siegers: Saw the snatchers get theirs. Fled rather than proceed with extensive suicide plans. We'll be here when they change their mind. Where's my book of grudges? Vampire Nibblers: Beaten by Justice system, then atomized. We bury our own, as well. Human Suicider: Announced his intent to steal artifact by himself. Dragged down by the dogs and curbed to the point of skull explosion by unarmed peasant mob in the dry moat. Press F to memorialize the current idiocy champion.
