DF Gameplay Questions / What do you need for a first-time embark site?
« on: June 21, 2014, 09:19:23 pm »
I keep trying to find good embark sites with the parameters recommended by the wiki, but I get very few sites or none at all on each world I generate, even after loosening the parameters a bit. Exactly what are the bare minimum qualities needed in an embark site for a first-time game?

Also, I keep running into "wet" material that the dwarves won't dig through. How can I avoid this?

DF Gameplay Questions / New Player, need help setting up Mac version
« on: June 17, 2011, 12:55:40 pm »
Hello, newby here :D.

I downloaded the latest Mac version of the game, and it runs just fine as far as I can tell. However, I want to play the game along with the "Complete Newby Play-along Tutorials" and the version you download from there is for Windows. I need help with a couple things.

1, How do I transfer the saved game and world from the tutorial version onto the newest Mac version? I understand that transferring saved games from older versions is difficult and I don't know how out of date the tutorial version is.

2, How do I install the Mayday graphics set onto the newest Mac version? I can only find the Mayday set bundled with downloads of the game, and not as its own download. I've tried ripping it out of the tutorial version and putting it onto the Mac version, but I don't know exactly what files you need to transfer and what changes you need to make to the init files. I've figured out how to change the tileset from the wiki, I just can't figure out how to change the graphic set.
