DF Noobie lazy noob or masterworks?
« on: October 18, 2017, 05:37:03 pm »

I am still a noob haven't played in a while but even when I did I was still learning. So as a noob which is best to start with and why? Although a noob I have a basic understanding of the game. Thank you.

P. S. Any really good let's plays you can recommend?

Lazy newb. I don't use it personally. I would use Masterwork if I could get it working.

I learned with quickstart guide on the wiki; there's also PeredexisErrant's guide. I've also helped review WanderingKid's videos, which are shortish and good outside of making a mistake with forgetting Mining was a moodable skill.

But, for a change, I throw this with YT link inside at thee :v Haven't watched myself because 47 mins is a time too, though.

Masterwork is more for pro players. Someone who is still learning vanilla might experience information overload when attempting to learn it. Even I am very familiar with vanilla, and still I'm astonished at the extensiveness of the mod. It's not designed for newbs for sure.

The closest thing Bay12 has to a flamewar is an argument over philosophy that slowly transitioned to an argument about quantum mechanics.
