Bay 12 Games Forum

i don't know if it's posted before but can you present dwarf children separated from the adult ones ? It's because they couldn't be assign to any task and pretty useless to be displayed. It would be great if there's hide button for it.

edit: nvm just find the option for it. Sorry i am new to this.

created a 2nd world and ended with first goblin ambush. Sorry no screenshots this time since i just tired of losing and frustrated with the games lack of "control". Some of my dwarves refuse mining, going to workshop and eat my seeds.  And I accidentally infected my whole fortress with moss and fungi and looks like carpets with different colors.

Oh well, gonna take that complete newb pack and start again.

Thx, i just assigned a dwarf with appraisal to become my broker. I think i have been cheated from last few tradings because i can't see any trading values.
Can dwarf survive solely from alcohol? coz i am too lazy to assign drinking spot and i "over-produced" my farm.

anyway, after few hours of setting up dwarf therapist and training back my dwarves, another siege came the following year(or month) and this time they made sure my fortress was screwed. So long story short, i abandoned and created new one. Here's the screenshot of bloody battlefield:
After killed anything on its path, this monster just chilling on my workshop area. Unfortunately, the area also lead to food/seeds stockpile and resulted most of my dwarves "passby" to watch the monster.

All I have to say is "Congrats on getting a doctor to work.  You've made a major step there."  Also "You don't need to irrigate those farms.  Farms built on soil don't need mud."

Yeah, i figure it out when someone's wounded notify me every 5 secs. Sigh... i should have read the farm section under wiki closely next time. Spent an entire day to read irrigation and planning to make such system.

Well, the problem is when the goblins arrived, all my recruits were still equipped with training axes/swords/spears. It took 5 recruits to kill a single goblin axemaster. It's time to refer to wiki again to find how to make weapons.

Weregecko dwarf roam free in my fortress and i let him be. While laughing my ass off at weregecko(wish they have visual presentation for this) that turn back to dwarf and back to werebeast, first goblins siege arrived at my gates. Killed 20 or so dwarves .... and some pets. Now facing with starvation , insane dwarves, low alcohol supply coz i randomly choose farmers to be my used to be ex-recruits. At least i have an excuse, i am new to this. I think it's time for me to gen a new world.

thx everyone for the kind reply. DF wiki helps me alot. I would ask questions in this forum if i need help. The UI in this games is really terrible to be honest, most of the time i have to refer to wiki lol.
