DF Gameplay Questions / Getting Started With Dwarf Fortress (Help)
« on: February 27, 2016, 03:11:30 am »
Hello every,
I got started into this genre of games from Gnomoria. It has been probably over a year since I played, but I must of put in 200-300 hours. Recently I discovered a dwarf fortress remote app, which really appealed to me. I really wanted to get to the point where i could actually play this on my phone comfortably. I have watched a few tutorial introductions, but I have some questions.
- I am sure it's located somewhere on this site or wiki, but what is the best stuff to download to get started. I have heard of a "lazy newb pack" that can actually make the game isometric even? This sounds absolutely amazing and the only reason I played Gnomoria was to be able to see the stuff I build.
-Any help on what exactly to get would be great! I'll use the wiki to assist me in actually learning the game as I feel I already have a jump on the game from watching many hours of videos and my experience with gnomoria.
Thanks everyone!
PS: Has anyone actually purchased any of the books/ebooks on this game and have found them to be extremely helpful?
EDIT: Things I have discovered I need
1.Lazy newb pack
2. Dwarf Therapist
3 Stone Sense
4. A sound pack still in search of
5. Good Tile Set (I like the ironhand one I think)
(Reading on what Dwarf Hack is later)

From the looks of it after reading the directions for setting up a server. It looks very easy, but the fact that it's a "remote" app threw me off. I will get it after I finish this tutorial videos and mess around. I'm not big on mobile games, but this looked like something I had to try.
I leave my computer on 24/7 anyways, so running it as a server doesn't seem like a problem.
My only concern is that from the looks of it is running off a older build and I'm not exactly sure if you can use the latest version. I'm not sure if that even matters from that release to current, but it would be nice to know that the features will be updated.

Thanks for the help everyone. I started with Gnomoria, and found out there is a king of it all. Barely have got into Dwarf Fortress and it seems way more complex. I don't know if learning on a mobile device is the best thing, especially to start learning. $3 wasn't the problem, I just wanted some feedback on the app. I'll most likely check it out, I appreciate it! For now I am going to watch some tutorials and make sure I go in knowing what to do.
Appreciate it all, take care.

Does anyone have any feedback on this particular application? I have been debating on getting it, but have never used a remote application. Can anyone actually say they have used it and found it fun?
Thanks, and sorry if this is the wrong section.
