i started doing all the stuff like setting up stockpiles and things while paused and immediately had a dwarf get annihilated by a gator in the creek next to the wagon lol

@rumplstiltztinkerstein Год назад

Guys. Just to point out that there is absolutely NO NEED to choose a bigger starting area, as pointed out by @Blind. While horizontally it might not look that larger, you can dig deep, reeeeeaaaaalllyyy deep. You can create a tower of 200 floors and still there would be a lot of room to expand above and below.

@jamesderiven1843 11 месяцев назад

While the game allows you to choose a bigger starting area, it HATES you actually doing it and will make your life hell.

I have a 2yr old gaming laptop and the amount of stuff in my fortress 6 hours later notably slowed the game. Not bad, but notable. So, I now start on medium maps on 3x3 and the speed improvement was stark past the 6hour mark and on wards.

@ovrsurge4689 Год назад

I was waiting for the steam release to get back into dwarftress. I think the first version I played back in highschool didn't even have 3 dimensional trees. The 3d trees was a big update and made peace with the elves more viable when you could get multiple logs from one tree.

@albay_zagloba 7 месяцев назад

I played this game first time, and didn’t realize that meeting area is that crucial. One of my dwarves gone mad, he occupied my craft workshop, he tried to build himself something but i didn’t find out what it was. Then he started to throw his clothes all around. After some time he passed away and I tried to bury him. Until I figure out how to bury dead his corpse rot and only skeletons left. Finally I put reaminings in a coffin and also placed some altars. Rip old man, sorry for all your sufferings.

@chashagin1 Год назад

Blind, your tutorials are spectacular and got me into this masterpiece of a game. Thank you and excited to watch a new Tutorial series! Love that KitfoxGames is investing in content like this! Would enjoy some videos on optimizing fortresses now that I can maintain a fort for some period of time before I'm overwhelmed by Fun. I'm sure there's all sorts of cool stuff that can be done with minecarts, storage zones, assigning workshops to specific dwarfs, ramps vs stairs, wheelbarrows, bins/barrels, optimizing where to place workshops relative to Caverns, etc.) Also it'd be great to understand how to get the most value out of major tools like DFHack and/or Dwarf Therapist for those of us new to DF via Steam.

Despite seeing a ton of tutorials over the years (including some of Blinds) I can never get enough of his DF vids. Thanks for putting this up here. You’ve done a great job with keeping it succinct and accessible…a tough challenge with something like DF. I probably missed it but was there a seed for this map? The embark looks like a really cool site. Love the idea of a fort on a cliff overlooking a waterfall.

@McDank41 Год назад

Hey Blind, I just wanted to say I’ve recently discovered your channel after learning about dwarf fortress as of last year! I’ve been binging all of “HeatStone” and wanted to thank you for uploading them to RU-vid I’m in the US Army and currently deployed so it really is nice to have the VODS whenever I’m on guard or something man! Although I don’t agree with all your political views I absolutely love watching your gameplay and the knowledge you have man! I hope you continue posting VODS (preferably in 480p as an option since we don’t get good signal out here) But thanks again man! I hope I can catch a stream one day!

@beepbop6697 Год назад

First off, thank you for your service and for watching our backs overseas. However, don't be surprised that your political views are likely going to change once you leave the armed forces. For the encodings, I'm fairly sure that RU-vid automatically down samples videos to support streaming over low quality / slower network connections. For example, this video supports 1080p (original upload quality) all the way down to 144p -- you can manually set the quality in the RU-vid playback options.

@BlindiRL Год назад

I will totally keep posting vods, however they've moved to my extras channel. Also it's okay to disagree. My takes can be kind of extreme and that makes it worse for some. Lastly. Thank you for your service.

@kunibertrandolf1886 Год назад

Hey, uhm, maybe a stupid question, but can I change that dwarfes just come flying in TOO FAST?? I love building and stockpiling first and getting inhabitants later while gradually upping general production and filling the spaces needed in such games but dwarfes just keep flooding in! I am very happy that the game seems to like how I handle builds and I never had a food shortage or got wiped out by anything yet but mostly because the amount of inhabitants just overwhelms me and I have to abondon the world for just being too much to handle for my tiny brain. I feel like as soon as I start my gem production and money comes flying in, the entirety of of the dwarf population just wants a piece of the cake, moves in and then gets increasingly angry because I literally cannot give 200+ dwarfs anough to do on two floors of housing, some production and some layers of strip mining.

@BlindiRL Год назад

If you go into the game settings you can edit the population cap.

@Kram1032 Год назад

In the options, limit the maximum number of residents and kids and what not. You can turn those up later when you feel more ready

@hey_how_are_ya Год назад

Do you have a video giving some little more advanced tips? Like how to automate food and drink production? I keep running out of seeds for one type of plant while gaining seeds for another. So i built several different plots of land so that i dont have to keep changing what to plant each season. Also is there a better way to make 100 bedrooms rather than manually selecting what to mine out?

@sidrat2009 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for your advice and video tutorial. The beginnings is always the most daunting as there seems to be a lot to do very quickly but you managed it all rather quickly. I wonder what happened to the original seven dwarves (getit!) in this play through?

@brandon8667 10 месяцев назад

@jamesderiven1843 11 месяцев назад

One bigger tip I might add is pausing long enough on the world gen screen to turn off goddamn werebeasts, do much to make the current version so unpleasant.

I was trying to make a staircase underground as shown in the video, however, when I dragged a square and scrolled to a lower level and clicked again, it did nothing. I also tried pressing m once I had the selected area but nothing happened either when I pressed unpause. I also noticed that when I dragged a square it was not set in place, I could still move around the size of the square. Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?

@BlindiRL 6 месяцев назад

To confirm. You clicked on the stairs tool and dragged a small square then moved down levels and clicked again and nothing happened? You can resize as you are dragging that's normal. I'm a bit perplexed by this description honestly.

@ftumchgtumch732 8 месяцев назад

It's good to note that miners shouldn't really cut wood, and woodcutters shouldn't really mine. Also, a REALLY important point you missed is that brewing plump helmets is the only way to get yourself more plump helmet spawn (aside from trading or scavenging in the lower levels, which usually come a bit later in the game) this is the way you avoid one of the early fortress deaths... eating yourself into extinction...
