I know this is reductive and likely to make Dwarf Fortress veterans shudder, but the best way I've found to explain Dwarf Fortress to the average person is that it's like a whole lot of tiny stupid dwarves are all playing Minecraft, and your job is to boss them around and tell them what to do.

Eve was one of the first single shard games that focused on realistic economy. WoW had a player driven economy but with it's multiple shards it was fairly easy to manipulate the markets, and the devs had to police this. Eve in it's day was ground breaking, these days other games have taken their ideas and expanded on them add prettier graphics. However my first time playing Eve it made me wonder why all games weren't like this, and slowly they all are becoming like it.

Embarking on a haunted glacier with necrotic mists is all one needs to do to get good at farming. Practically zero people knocking on your door. You could really set up a big farm on one of the cavern layers. Be aware though, you will need steel or iron as things will still get in and attack you. I did this once it was like creative mode. You can make an above ground ice fortress with a bit of labour.

Nice video. I was interested in Rimworld when it came out; watched some Let’s Plays, but never pulled the trigger and got it myself. I randomly started watching some Dwarf Fortress videos about a month ago… I find it pretty hard to interpret what’s going on, and tbh, when the goblins attack it looks pretty stressful… not sure this is my kind of game, but I’m tempted to give it a try, especially now that there’s an easier graphical interface to deal with. TBD, but thanks for the overview. :-)

This is exactly the type of video I needed, because I heard that DF is very deeply simulated game but I don't understand how deep it is. I think after Dec 6th there will be a lot of people like me, so please, can you make some videos about some DF features and mechanics (e. g. How is the world simulated outside the player view? What other civilizations can do?) that will give overall feel of the game.

I like to say it's the most complex game under the hood with a convoluted UI slapped on top. but once you get past the old UI, it isn't a difficult game to learn how to play, it just simulates a ton of stuff which you don't have to worry about. with the Steam release, it will no longer have the Mt. Everest sized UI learning curve and it will be a very fun game that's easy to wrap your head around.

A basic video on how to keep your dwarfs happy 3. Maybe one on mineing ores whats the best mine layout or how to process them and how minecarts work .4 OH! An overview on workshops and what they do and how they are useful like the dwarfcrafer shop iv never even used .5 ik that the game is hard and you fail which I'm fine with but maybe a tips and chricks to survive your first raid like how to build defense/traps and levers or layout your base in a way that helps your chances .6 building tips/tricks ik i had to look up how the stairs work I felt dumb after learning it but it was so confusing at first. You could do a play along thing where you just explain everything you do and why while starting a new game that's hoe I learned so far but the video I watched was like 6 years old. Goodluck!

Are they planning on giving content creators keys for gameplay prior release dates? There are plenty of KZbinrs, especially yourself or Krugg just for example, that would be able to roll the ball even more. Even if it was days in advance, you can't deny it would definitely blow the game up in the youtibe algorithm. Obviously it is up to Kitfox and the creators, but I guess more of a question to see if there was an answer.

I'm new to Dwarf Fortress but legends mode intrigues me greatly. I wonder if it's a game mode that adds more to fortress mode and if so, I wonder why that's not the more popular game mode. Do people not like a bit of lore added to the world they are building their fort of dwarves'?

I think its the older versions of dwarf fort were so obtuse that people would learn to mess with one of the three modes and ignore the other two. Since the game is called Dwarf Fortress that became the most popular.

My start with this happened many moons ago. Probably about 2011-2012. At first I wasn't in the mood to learn to left it. Then was having a shitty day so just say down and tried to learn it. Was good. Then found the only book I could find on it. The book was great and gave you step by step. I would read it while at work and it helped so much. I grew to love it. I eventually fell out of love ONLY because once I'd get far into my fortress, the frames would drop so bad I couldn't play anymore. It was the 32bit version. Never thought a 64bit version would appear to shelved it. Years later I hear about this release happening and mention my story. Someone pointed out the 64bit version has been available for years. I was shocked. Looked back at my profiles and appears shortly after I stopped playing they released the 64bit version. I should go back and play it, I loved it. Even though I'm strapped for cash, I will be buying this on release regardless.

But it's difficult to keep coming back to play DF due to it's insanely obtuse UI and control scheme and so on. From what i've seen regarding the premium version, it seems to keep all the complexity of the original game while helping to alleviate the ridiculous and absurdly complex UI of classic. I think I'm going to fall in love with the game all over again as there just isn't anything that exists today that can compete with the level of detail and depth of DF. Even Rimworld which i do like, is missing so much character and depth and randomness and so on that DF has. I honestly think Zach and Tarn are legends at this point, to keep doing this project for so many years purely off of donations is absolutely insane and I always wondered if they would even eventually break down and finally cave in to partnering and making a version of game with a more modern UI and it's finally happening! I dreamed of this moment 15+ years ago. Here is to hoping a whole new generation will fall in love with this game and inspire even more games in the future with a similar level of depth, I can only hope. So many modern games provide such shallow mechanics and the excuse is they don't want to overwhelm players or making learning curve too steep and so on and so forth but I've always thought it was BS as I think there is a large enough audience out there who can appreciate a lot of depth and complexity and layers upon layers of mechanics in a video game and I think if game dev's explored this more they would find there is a lot of us out there. And it's not like a game like dwarf fortress is unplayable by anyone who can't appreciate it's depth, you can play it from a shallow point of view, just doing whatever you want taking it as deep as you want and have your fun and if you one day decide you want to dive deeper you can, your not obligated to learn every single mechanic of DF to play it. And failing is part of the fun. Again I'm just hoping this version of the game inspires game dev's and people to want a little more complexity and depth to modern games as to be honest, new modern games are so stagnant these days as far as gameplay goes. Games like Ubisoft's games which I do find fun, is also frustrating as each new game that comes out is basically same mechanics and game play as all previous games with only minor tweaks and it's like, where is the new games, where is the games today that completely innovate and come up with new ideas and mechanics that doesn't exist yet. It's just not happening anymore, publishers have 0 interest in coming up with completely new ideas and it's super frustrating at times and difficult to enjoy most modern games beyond a small amount of game play hours because you realize it's so shallow. So many modern games I play, i find fun very early in game and then maybe 10 hours in I'm completely and utterly bored again as I know what it's all about and all the mystery and discovery is gone, and you know there isn't going to be any more interesting complex mechanics to learn later, you've seen it all, and now rest of game is just repeating what you already done and seen over and over again until completion. Modern games just lack the magic these days and maybe DF premium will help change that.

My problem with original dwarf fortress isn't necessarily the bad UI. As all the buttons are usually listed and I love the game enough to find them and slowly play. My problem is when dwarfs just stop doing what you think they should be doing and stand there and there is no, at least easy to access, explanation as to why (e.g. with gathering tasks). I have tried to wait and cancel and nothing happens. This is still technically UI but not the controls aspect of it. This has happened everytime I've tried to learn, to a new player like me it seems to be a game breaking bug but is probably something I could fix if I was directed to the right spot in game at the time

@@BlindiRL well of course i will. I actually played it a bunch before, but that was years and years ago, i found it a bit difficult in certain areas, like making a military group and whatnot. Hopefully the steam version will make it more accessible, perhaps, we see. Only the ingame tutorial will help alot for beginners.
