This is masterful cooked starfish genital soup mixed with exceptionally minced weed and exceptionally minced plump helmets. In the soup are images of starfish in exceptionally cooked pasta, the starfish are screaming in agony.

agony or pleasure?

Holy David Hopkins! Can we get back to the real discussion?

As said before some moire tips at embark might be neat. For example a warning in a destert that  growing food might be a porblem.

Also if more playable races then dwarfes exist it would be neat to get some kind of easy to identificate indicator that tells me what civ has which race(s). Its annoying if i want to embark somewhere and i then discover that i accidently did choose adwarves over a modded race.

yeah, i really think that the option to embark without preparing, should be removed entirely.
it only confuses noob players, since they might think this is a good option to start quickly, only to discover (once embarked) that their dwarves wont even obey their commands, since no one has any job roles enabled.

instantly beeing taken to the prepare screen with a default load out, something along the lines of the one described in the "surviving your first winter" tut on the wiki, seems more sane.

Yikes this is a long thread.

My only serious whine is the world+embarking part, everything else has a workaround. Pretty sure I'm the only one who feels this way:

1. Trying to find a place that has obsidian+flux+sand
2. Trying to find embarking dwarves that do not have a negative personality traits. E.g. procras, panic, indulge, etc.

[PTTG??]

What kind of dwarves don't have negative traits?

Though I agree about the first one, I suppose a better world searcher should exist.
That said, it's already planned for the future.

Also, I have no idea how a new player is supposed to know what "Flux" is.

Heck I can't even identify Flux at all as it is.

Flux is that gooey stuff you use when you solder...

[ToonyMan]

Ussually with a 60/40 roson core solder I might add.

[Fikes]

Pure and simple.

Lack of mouse support. That is the #1 problem.

Let me click and drag designations, zones, mining, tree cutting. Let me right click and select "build a mason workshop".

Look, for example, at Evil Genius. That game had some of the features of DF but a way better base building system.

[MrWiggles]

You can use the mouse for designations.

[ToonyMan]

Can you highlight an area in a box though?  Like for tree cutting?  Oi, it doesn't matter I don't like using the mouse anyway.

[Footkerchief]

You can use the mouse for designations.

Not click-and-drag as in creating large rectangles, though.

[ToonyMan]

WOAH!  I just got like a vision!  Dwarf Fortress in.........

3D!!!!!  Wowowwowo.    Wow.

Not knowing what flux is will not make or break the DF experience for a player.
