DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Help Setting up a Farm

Hey, thanks guys. Can't believe I forgot buckets were a thing and was about to jump straight to redirecting a river. And the drawbridge is a useful thing to know about too; I'll try to remember that when I'm ready to do something more risky.

In other news, I discovered the nifty farm guide pinned to the top of this forum so I'll be referencing that for any further questions I come up with. Thanks again!

DF Gameplay Questions / Help Setting up a Farm
« on: December 22, 2019, 10:46:58 pm »
There's probably a wiki page covering the mechanics I need to know, but I'd rather figure this out while talking to other players. It sounds...funner.

It has been a LONG time since I've played Dwarf Fortress and I never advanced too far with the game to begin with, so assume I'm ignorant of how nearly everything works. I just began a new Fortress, Bakustiden ("Urgepaddles," weird but strangely appropriate for what I'm about to try.) and I need to set up a farm ASAP. The fastest way would be to place it on the clay area in the upper corners of the map, but that's tiles and tiles away from the mineral-rich mountains I'm molding into a fortress, so I see efficiency issues with that route. It'll only work as a temporary farm as far as I'm concerned.

My other option is to redirect a nearby brook into a room on the first or second floor of my tiny fortress. The problem with that is...I have no idea how. I've gotten as far as "floodgates, lever, blah blah blah" but beyond I promise that trying to flood part of my fortress for farming will end in disaster if I don't get some help first.

So...uh...how do I go about prepping a farm space within my fortress without majorly screwing up?

It's been a while (I've ditched adventure mode to try running a fort), but in my last adventure, I lost a group of elven refugees on the top of a Dwarven fortress.

I rescued a flock of elves from invaders.

...then accidentally left them on the roof of a Dwarven mountainhome.
