My experience has been that the Linux build of DF is notably slower than the Windows or Mac builds, though. I even get better framerates running the Windows version under WINE than I did using the native Linux build.

So I should stick with Windows. Ok.

Some kind of Linux distro is your best bet here.

Will DF run under a Linux distro? What would be the best linux distro for playing Dwarf Fortress? ubuntu?

You should be looking at single core speed for the CPU

Can you explain? Right now I'm looking at an i7 haswell. Is there a better option?

As far as OSes go, I am definitely not a fan of Windows 8; any operating system that increases

I meant in terms of performance not functionality. For example, I hear one of the reasons that Steam is moving to Linux is because of increased graphical performance -- so if there is a better system to improve DF's performance, I'd like to know what it is.

Would intel or AMD be better? I'm considering intel

DF General Discussion / Building a PC exclusively for Dwarf Fortress

Hi, I'm considering building a PC exclusively to play Dwarf Fortress better. What would I need to focus on?

*I don't think Graphic Cards are a top priority -- although one would need to be there to ensure the strain is less on the CPU.
*Focus should be on CPU/Memory, right?
*Windows 8?

If any techie could chime in, it'd be great. Thanks.

Well, this just happened:

This is kind of what happened to me yesterday. Instead, except of nothing, the dwarf got knocked out and got seriously damaged. Right now, he's scared -- he's climbing trees and refusing to work.

Yeah, it's not doing it now. The trees are falling and I'm getting tons more wood.
Did you change something?  Are you doing something intentionally different so they're not being injured?

In Lazy Newb Pack options, I took out 'cave ins' and made a new world. That might have something to do with it.

What was the level of the "wood cutter" skill on the dwarf who was chopping down the tree? Maybe novice or below can cause .... incidents?

He had no skill. I don't invest in skill points with my initial dwarves, I invest in personality points to make better nobles (like appraisal), and let them raise skills by using them extensively. I'll try it again just how I did before, and let's see what happens...

And now I forget how to issue orders without therapist. fuck.

I'll do it again. If I can replicate the issue, I'll take a screen (many screens)

I swear, it happened. I just selected d - > chop down trees, highlighted everything on that z-level, and the first tree my dwarf cut down forced the game to pause and it gave me a message it got hit by a log. He had a broken leg and other injuries. I got mad and abandoned the fortress lol.

I'm also not a fan of ascii, but I can tolerate it.

Lazynewb put in graphics in the newest version. Waiting on therapist.
