DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Problems Trading
« on: August 26, 2014, 09:49:24 pm »
So I figured out how to trade.  My main problem is that the left side trading window, the one with the stuff to buy, isn't big enough to see the full name of the stuff.  I have to scroll around hitting 'v' to find out what items are.  I've tried hitting tab a lot, it does nothing.  I've tried resizing, it just makes the right side larger and doesn't affect the left side.  I can't find a place on the bar to grab and drag.

How do I make it bigger?

After failing repeatedly to play Dwarf Fortress over the past few years (even before the NYT article) I recently discovered the book on how to play.  It made a world of difference.

In all those years that I failed to play I always admired the stories I read from people playing and was envious of all the fun they were having losing.  So, with my new book in hand, I made certain to document my dwarves as they tried to gain a stronghold.  I think I've played for a total of about six hours.  I was thinking they would be dead by now, but they are hanging on.  If they make it through the winter, I plan to try and grow food for them.
