Glad you liked it! I find that picking a goal helps me get into the right mindset. I started wanting to beat back the goblins to the north, which naturally led into focusing on the bare minimum economy to get weapons and armor, which itself led really well into delving deeper, those threats, chopping down too many trees, and so on.

@@minoxiothethird There is a combat log in the steam version. It's always great to see 10 military dwarfs die, only for a peasant biting the throat of the enemy, severing the head in the process. RNG can be a curse or a blessing, but either way it's a great story! I got attacked by ant-people (cavern dwellers). My squad took care of them, but two ants climbed an underground mushroom. Two of my squad followed them and killed them, but they didn't dare climbing down. I had the mushroom chopped down, something I should not have done. One survived, the other fell 10 z-levels down. Another lesson learned :-)

Love any DF content that's actually edited and well narrated. Big time saving tips: Use auto-mining for veins and select the multi button when making zones. Like make a huge cluster of bedrooms, sealed off by doors with a bed in them and drag over them all, makes them all into bedrooms automatically. It works for any kind of zones you want a lot of. Not sure if you know or not but carpal tunnel is not fun. Used to hate how this new UI seemed to suck for large scale forts until figuring those out.

Whenever you ask why. Like "the kid died next to the booze and the well, why?" You could always just make up a story too. The explanations you come up with from information tied to your embark (goblin menace, spies) are fun, and good storytelling. This game has endless depth for that storytelling. Plus, since your script would have more talking per in-game event, you wouldn't have to edit down as many hours of gameplay 😉

I'm one that is starting to fall in love with storyteller games. I play the 'child' to this game, Rimworld and I love telling the heartbreaking and heartwarming story of Engie and Hanyou. Engie was a raider that was part of a band that attacked my colony and she was the only one to survive. My colony took her as a prisoner and eventually recruited her. She was a hideously ugly Waster, but a very excellent fighter that was immune to toxic fallout. Hanyou was a refugee running from raiders that we took in. He was a very handsome highmate who couldn't fight, but was excellent in medicine and social skills. This is where these two had met. After a while of living in my colony they fell in love. It happened while Hanyou was tending to Engie's wounds she received fighting off another raid attacking the colony and he won her over. Fairly quickly after they became lovers, Engie was pregnant with his child. After a long engagement, they planned to get married. Unfortunately though Engie gave birth and the child was stillborn. The baby was buried in a sarcophagus in the colony's temple. Despite the loss, they decided to go through with the ceremony. Three days later they chose to take their nuptials in front of their lost little one's coffin as their way of still including the baby in their lives. Hanyou resolved to be a better doctor as he was the one to help deliver the baby and Engie a better fighter wife to protect her family. Such is the life of a colony buried deep in a mountainside on a post apocalyptic, hostile, polluted wasteland known as the Rim.

There's no external end game goal. You can make your own goals, like clearing out a goblin area, a certain mega building project, or having an army that's Y big. I don't wanna spoil it so I'll be vague, but there are much bigger challenges that await. You can play really conservatively to minimize the risk, but most people don't just because that's less fun to them. If you want to see some of that, try googling 'dwarf fortress losing' and looking at the wiki for a list of some of the other challenges that await an end game colony.

Instruments aren't actually fluff. They are used by dwarfs during certain performances, and they even have a skill for it. Instruments make for better performances which give dwarves better mood buffs. The thing is you have to look at your dwarves and check what Instruments your civ uses during songs/dances. Sometimes your Civ will only use a select few in their songs which makes the hundreds of others pretty useless because your civ will almost never use them due to them not being part of any music they know.

Loved the video, I hope the saga continues, I feel like a lot of playthroughs end at this point and move to another settlement, which is a shame since I feel like there is a lot more potential before there's nothing worthy left to do. Is it like the fps drop is too much after 200 dwarfes or something? Would it be possible to raise a legendary army of 100+ steel or better plated dwarfs and raze the goblin pits one after another? Is it practical to make the entry large and spacious and line it up with fortifications above it stacked with marksdwarfes and ballistas? Im new to DF so Im just getting a feel by watching videos so I dont know what makes sense, and I didnt even get to various mechanisms and elaborate traps, maybe the mist generator would be good, isnt the payoff from good mood really good on that one?
@JustDontDie
@JustDontDie 2 жыл бұрын
I feel that, but it's a combination of a few things. One, the base largely begins to run itself. My work orders meant that there's less and less for me to do. Big building projects take a while, so there becomes a ton of down time. This is exacerbated by low fps making things progress more slowly. I tested the fps a few times though I turned the setting off for recording, and my speed was about 60% what I started with towards the end, which means time is moving half as fast. It's less fun to personally play, and editing it down becomes long stretches of just cutting out silent footage. If I went that route, this would would have taken another week just to play out and it's already coming almost a month after the game released on steam. It should be possible. Huge armies are definitely doable, though it didn't seem like there was much iron on this map, which means that a big army of steel-clad dwarves would take a TON of digging, further slowing things down. You can also raise war animals for use in sieges like that. Ballistas are definitely possible, traps are too though I find them unfun to use in most games, and a mist generator would be cool but it also kills FPS from what I've heard.

Secret is to bring turkeys and pigs. You can milk the pigs. Basically as long as you keep your animal herds good you wont starve. If you want to grow mushroom trees youll need to carve a massive space under ground for them to bloom in. Save all the feather wood trees for shields. Put doors in hallways like -+-+- these act like air locks and can save a dwarfs life. Before i embark i usually assign the nicest dwarf doctor skills. If you read their bio itll say something like “helping others is the highest ideal”

@@JustDontDie I think the current recommendation is to burrow them to a room with barrels of alcohol. Afaik they can drink from a barrel directly even without ability to grasp, but unless you burrow them they'll try and pick up a mug and then get stuck until they die. Also there's other problems, like their clothes will eventually rot off and they can't dress themselves. So in a way they're kind of doomed no matter what, in the long run.

Back in the danger room days i had a legendary dwarf bring her baby into the danger room and it obviously died. She later went berserk and killed more than enough dwarfs to create a tantrum spiral before she was finally killed. It ended the fort and I have been cautious of adding married women into the military ever since.

One thing about your tavern: dwarves won't share a table. So even if you have 4 chairs surrounding a table, only one dwarf will be using it.

It helped, though I think I also got pretty lucky with lots of migrants that had combat experience. Before adding random peasants without any experience when the Goblins expanded, every soldier came with at least competency in their weapon.

So I had issues with that that I edited out, and I only sorta fixed it after a bunch of googling. Basically, if you ever change an archer's uniform, they stop trying to grab bolts. You have to make a uniform for an archer beforehand, make the squad with the uniform, then never touch their equipment again. If you do, you have to remake the squad entirely. It's a bit of a pain, so I edited all that out haha

9:31Don't make your tables like that. one tiny table is only enough for one dwarf. regardless of how many seats you place around it. you need to make Long tables. One long table with a series of seats on one side, then make another table right next to the first and place seats along that one opposite the first one.
