DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Need help
« on: November 02, 2010, 08:40:16 am »
So, I've been playing DF for a little bit now, and I never really want to play because I simply don't know what to do.. that much. I mean, I really don't know what the "design" of my fort should be. Should I built a city into earth? Or should I build a castle outside. I am really just looking for a small tutorial on what to do. Make a makeshift home into the mountains, and once I find lots of wall-material make an outside city? And where should my barracks, sleeping quarters, and workshop rooms be, close to the surface? or a bit down under. I'm really stuck here. if anyone could help, I would be grateful.

Awesome, thanks. I have a cavern that I didn't explore, I guess I will do that now.

WORST. IDEA. EVER.

It started out all good, my dwarves mining out gems and goodies, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN CRUNDLES.

I had like four crundles in my fort and.. agh. Everyone was dying... and.. BAD.
On a side note, do you delete your world if you fail a fortress? Is it a good idea to just create another Fortress?

Yeah, cave exploring, especially early on, is a bad idea.  I make it a point to seal off caves as soon as I find them.  They have their uses but make sure your entrance to the cave is protected before venturing forth.

It's up to you whether or not to delete the world and start with a new one after you fail/abandon a fort.  There's a couple of perks to keeping the world.  Your previous fort and dwarves get added to the history and if you play adventure mode you can go back and explore your previous forts, maybe even find that nice little artifact your one dwarf made.  Making a new world might be good if you didn't really find the embark site you were looking for in the previous world.

Thanks. Also I lied. More questions. Well, just one.

Any way to get rid of Swarm of Flies? I know what they do, but how do I rid my fort of them.

Thanks, also, what? What's the point of having other types of picks, then?

Okay, I feel like a bother by asking questions over and over again. But one more. I promise.

Is there anyway I can give one of my dwarves a pick? I bought an iron pick because I thought it would go faster or something, and I want to give it to my best miner, and give his copper one to a migrant that came in. How do I go about doing this?

Thanks all. I re-created my stockpile and THEN they started dragging it. I don't know. Maybe I chose something else other than a weapon stockpile.. but yeah, problem solved.


One more questions: A friend referred me to this game and such, but, he told me if the amulet gets destroyed/taken the dwarf that made it would go beserk and kill everyone. Is this true?

Just started playing DF and now I am addicted. I need to know some things though...

I got my first trade caravan, and I decided to buy some traps with my rock goods and such. I sold them stuff, and bought the traps including an iron pick. However, my dwarves don't even get the stuff. I dismiss my broker, summon him, and try just about everything for my dwarves to haul all of my stuff back to stockpiles and such, but they wont. I'll try to build traps and they wont take it from the trade depot. So now I am on the verge of saying it's bugged because I have no idea on how get my items that I traded for. Can anyone help on this?

Also, one of my dwarves went into a "fey" mood, claimed a workshop, and made a unique shale amulet. Can I do anything witht his amulet?

EDIT: Once the trade caravan leave, I can specifically see all the items I bought IN my trade depot, but again, I can't get them out.
