Thanks

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / How long did it take you to become /decent/ at DF?

« on: September 06, 2011, 01:00:00 pm »

Hey Guys,

I was just wondering, how long did it take you to become good at the game? Good as in, understood most things, and you can easily get a fortress going and efficient, and know what youre doing?

Im in the learning stage atm, i started to watch tuts last week on Wednesday, and atm i can set up a decent fort, get my stockpiles well, farm up, bedrooms done, manager and his office ect. But my dwarves always end up dying, as i dont know how to produce metal or know what materials i need for them ect :S

I basically dont know what im doing past the parrts i described

DF Gameplay Questions / Fortress in a mess.

« on: September 03, 2011, 02:19:25 pm »

Well, today was interesting.

One of my dwarves went beserk suddenly, so i had him murdered quickly and took his stuff, fine enough. Then i tried digging a defensive pit in an entrance in my fort, and one miner suffocated down there and another one got trapped -.-

Also i forgot to put the bridge over the hole, so alot of my brewing and food didnt reach places and people started getting hungry and unhappy, so i quickly had to do that before they all died, then a caravan turned up, and i got pissed and set my military to kill everything in the caravan. So Mr. Traders guts ended up splattered everywhere on my walls. So then i left my dwarves to take everything for a while, then one of my military scouts starved to death, as i had forgot to remove the attack order so they were restrained to standing doing nothing.

Now my fortress is full of dead dwarves, blood, and random bits and bobs, holes and crannies everywhere. Which should be fun to get back to normal

I was just wondering... Because i attacked and murdered that Elf trader, what will happen as a consequence of my actions?

Hey Guys,

So, ive been getting into the jive of DF recently, and now im futher than ive ever been!

However, ive dug out a massive area for later things, and ofc it is covered in stone, which i will dump near my mason when hes got his workshop, but ive also struck gems and ores...

And i have no idea what to do with them :S

There is some gold opals, some red ones, and limonite... all over. Some of my dwarves started placing some of the red gems on the refuse! Retards :/

Here is a pic: (sorry bout the mess, im using the workshops temporarily to do a few things to keep the booze coming in, then i will be organizing the wood and workshops ect. downstairs

)

Well you cant see the red stuff there, but oh well...

So, what do i do with the gems and gold? :S

Thanks

DF General Discussion / Music in-game?

« on: September 01, 2011, 01:58:44 pm »

Hey guys,

I was just wondering, as it is rather a good topic in most places to discus, what music do you listen to when playing Dwarf Fortress?

Do you love to rock your dwarves to heavy metal? Or just glide through your fort to some, calmer, jazz? Or even just listen to the joys of the games music? Whatever you do, share it here!

Personally, recently ive been learning the game, so ive not payed much attention to this, and im busy watching tutorials while playing by the side to learn...

General Discussion / Your rig!

« on: September 01, 2011, 01:53:32 pm »

Hey guys!

I'm going to be building my first real gaming PC in a few months, and i was wondering what kind of rigs you guys are running...

My laptop is amazingly fast and awesome:

1GHz solo core processor,
2GB RAM,
Integrated graphics,
320GB HDD,

...Yeah it's total bollocks. Cant run sh*t.

So, what are the specs of your rig? And how well do you run DF and other games, or other tasks?

DF General Discussion / Update?

« on: August 30, 2011, 05:13:22 am »

Hey Guys,

So, ive been away from here for a while, (seems ages!) since about May time earlier this year

Since then i havent had time to catch up on DF at all. I was wondering if anyone could update me on if anything has happened important recently, like any updates, or when the next update is expected to be out ect.?

Many thanks!

General Discussion / Which PC is better?

« on: May 12, 2011, 11:49:45 am »

So guys, i need a very cheap, new pc or laptop, as my one here (1.4GHz solo core, GMA graphics) sucks like hell...
Im not getting it for hard core gaming, just the occasional, maybe demanding game, like RIFT and indie games like Amnesia...

So, i found 1 desktop, 1 laptop, same prices, which will be better?

DF Gameplay Questions / Help for a newbie?

« on: May 04, 2011, 01:29:03 am »

Hey Guys,

Ive just started playing Dwarf Fortress after watching numerous LP's, and something is happening that annoys me. When i tell my dwarves to do something, like put some stones in the dump, or make a stock pile for something, they sometimes don't do it. If i made an animal stock pile for the animals in the wagon, they wouldnt bother putting animals in it, same for dumps and other things...

Any idea what is going on?

Thanks~
