Dwarf Fortress: Rebuilding a Dead Empire [New Start] 

3:49:34 "Hey, welcome to Craftjustice! It's a lovely place, and you moved in at just the right time - it's really starting to take off! Before I forget, there is a locked door downstairs that you absolutely shouldn't open under any circumstances. Ignore the pleas for help from the other side. The situation should resolve itself in a couple of weeks, and then we'll have the tavern down there back open after we've cleaned up a bit. Until then though, you really should avoid the place, unless you really, really, want to temporarily become a bloodthirsty reptile and/or starve to death and/or get eaten."

I'm so glad I downloaded this game 2 weeks ago. Glad I payed for it as well to help the developer.

I had to pause when you named your fort, as I too embarked a fortress named Craftjustice. It was a freezing polar fort whose main product, you could say, was just ice. Seeing this one in a desert is killing me XD

found you through your df tutorial videos and now Im addicted to this content. Love the forts

Started a fortress recently only arming my dwarves in bone armor and spears. Wood and bone savages. Waged war on the elves. Loving it.

I remember that old playlist. "Rebuilding the Dwarven Empire." There was a coastal stockade, a volcano fort, and a fort centered around a fighting arena inside the first cavern layer. That was a good series.

So sad he just completely skipped over camels while considering desert-themed animals.

That sprite for the werebeast is really good. Love that art style and how they depict it well in such a small scale.

A shame the glass tower disappeared but I really like the idea of rebuilding an empire so I'm happy you're starting this playthrough

My Green Glass Tower fortress save disappeared on me 😢. On to a new start! Here's part 2 of this fort: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VX7f1ViFRvI.html

According to BlindIRL whilst you need to be accessible to you home civilization your migrants don't come from there, they will appear from nowhere! Made up by the game following various rules ie how much trade are you doing, are you accessible, have you reached the games soft cap . If it helps with your head cannon then there are loads of Dwarfs roaming the world having been made homeless from destroyed fortresses. But then again I'm a relative noob and I may have completely misunderstood what he was saying!..

let's goooo I'm doing this with a empire that only had one population and zero sites. I'm on my third fort right now and we're up to 400 members

From the pre-game map, you'd almost think the dark elves spread a blight on the terrain, like zerg creep in starcraft.

Bins do infact work now. Rough gems get picked out of bins, and stuff gets moved by the bin.

Pretty sure the pyramids were built with giant sandstone blocks, then "capped" with limestone ramps. However, the limestone, being considerably more water soluble tended to erode... Leaving most of them without their limestone covering today. I think at least one is still partly covered.

There is a difference between bucklers and shields. Sheilds have a 50% higher block chance, don't ever use bucklers. For blocking, shield material doesn't matter at all. People use wood shields over leather, because they do more damage when dwarves use the shield as a melee weapon.

This new version looks so beautiful!!!! I'm so looking forward to the game growing faster towards Tarn's view!

Getting an ad every damn 3 minutes and 30 seconds is fucking mind boggling. Never experienced so many ads before, holy shit

I've just recently discovered Dwarf Fortress, which is shocking considering how many resource management games I've played over the years.

~3:00:00 FWIW 'Cavy' is another name for guinea pig, often used as food in traditional S American meals (the 'bear' suffix indicates male); horses can be milked (a traditional RL Mongol alcoholic drink was fermented mare's milk), as can (water) buffalo (think pizza cheese) ~3:08:54 It may help if you direct your Sheriff to investigate the crime: that /might/ result in a generalised location (or at least narrow down the search..) ~3:10:25 Work orders! Set them up to produce 1 per day then limit the max! Please! (Oh, & set 'required ingredients' to 10 each so you don't get spammed by 'failed order' msgs - plus some moody dwarf may require an uncut gem or raw magnetite ore etc.. :) ) This method is especially critical for medical supplies: while (eg) silk clothes are good, sutures are better! Reserve 10 thread from any cloth-making industry to keep your medics well-stocked; likewise (tho you already banned cat fat) reserve fat from cooking to make lye for soap (which I don't think you have being produced yet...) 3:11:14 Bins weren't 'buggy': they functioned exactly as intended. The problem was that anything interacting with a bin would reserve that bin until their job was complete (ie travel to bin, do with bin) so no-one else could grab other stuff while that was happening. Seeds in bags (which can be stored in bins) are a typical example: one farmer may want some dimple cup seeds, but another may want some plump helmet spawn; if they're in the same bin there's a wait time before the job is reassigned.. by which time the plump helmet farmer may have wandered off to sleep, drink, WHY It's also not always a good idea to store xbow ammo in bins, /unless/ you have multiple bins with ammo in all: any marksdwarf who runs out of bolts will (hopefully) auto-create a job to go get more. /However/, that job now reserves the entire bin of ammo, so no other marksdwarves can get to it, resulting in them using their xbows as hammers :(( Solution: make /lots/ of bolts (which you'll want anyway) & store them in multiple bins: storing a single stack of bolts in 1 stockpile square is stupidly inefficient :( ~3:13:30 Why on earth are you making bins from scarce wood when you could be making them from rock??

Im surprised that no one has tried to recreate moria or erabor in dwarf fortress, at least no one who posted a video.

you actually can have a world with 0 dwarf cities and when you make your own burrow you can be the King of all dwarfs.

This recently happened in one of my new worlds. Found an empire that had 1 population left, the king. I have made a successful fortress now but its still the only fortress of the civilization. To build on this rare occurance, I thought it would be cool to have an entire civ of necromancers but so far the raids on nearby towers have not given me the secrets of life and death.

Having not yet seen anything of the steam release, the moment you went to place a wall and you... clicked and dragged, I felt unexplainable hype. We are modern game! No more increasing length and width with keys!

You deserve a lot more subs. You are one of the better folks streaming the type of games I play, thank you for what you do.

I have found Nook that having a stockpile over stairs interferes with using them. I am guessing specifically the items sitting on that spot. Probably why you couldn't dig stairs down.

Goddammit with that Dad joke. Why did the scarecrow get an award? They were out standing in their field.

Good call out to Dastactic. Like vormithrax in a way, knows a lot of about these types of games.

Bob Ross Bay, absolutely stunning!

What about A ziggurat styled pyramid. Those are pretty baller. Plus they would give good firing arcs for soldiers on top of them.

well DF has changed alot since i last played it so very many years back

You could build a mix of limestone and black glass alternate each level. and then cap it with the gold blocks,

I only just recently got into DF and im enjoying it so much more than ive ever enjoyed Rimworld

I miss Soundsense. Really hope that the functionality to allow it to work will be re-added to the game sometime soon.

I have put in just over 300 hours in so far and the cause of FPS death is over production of items. The idea that more is better, but that is not good for DF.. Example don't make more farms than you can make use of the good gained from them. plump helmets will reach the max seed count after a few seasons on planting if you make the farm plots too large. the game also counts each plump helmets as 1 food item cause they can be eaten. turn them off from cooking does not stop eating them raw which is fine as you still get the seed back not that you will really need it if you focus on brewing them.. Don't make to many pre-made meals unless you want to attract attacks as they count as fort wealth. Aso be super careful with production orders as the game can make counting errors and keep making items way beyond what you intended. My worst fort died at 1 fps when 20 necromancer weregoat zombies appeared from three of my dwarfs who had been infected and I didn't catch them.. The first three bit and then killed some of my dwarfs inn the industy hub surrounded by about 30 other dwarfs. They then waved there hands and raised the dead dwarfs as zombies who for some reason also transformed into weregoats and the process keep going... the game died from all of the body parts that were ripped of and hen brought back by the necromancers.. I had soldiers who had 100 kills against just one weregoat.... I latter learned on another fort that had too many items built up that if you just retire the fort and go right back and reclaim it the frame rates went right back up to optimum..

I'm at 1:33:30 It's a little frustrating to watch. I'm thinking: just accept the fact that there's little space in the pyramid. Just make as many decent 2x2 romms as will fit comfortably, and put the rest underground. Anyway, back to the vid.

"I don't care how does it"... "Not you"

Love the content..... hate that in the first 54 min of this video i was hit with 19min roughly of ads...... every 5-7 minutes its an ad... i know you dont have control over that, but man its hard not to turn ad blocker on. RU-vid is like watching regular cable now.

That goblin you kicked out was perfectly fine, being shaken does not transmit werebeast curse, no matter how much damage is done. Only the initial bite matters (and all of his bites were stopped by armor).

Only halfway through but been screaming just do the 2x2 beds because that way the barracks can have some walls too

No way did you make a Muad'dib Joke that right there, got my sub and a like

3:25:30 This goat is the greatest of all times

5:38 What, you can do that!?

Mine of Souls sounds like a mobile game that has ads but doesn't really exist

every time that sound plays I have a mini heart attack

Well... I think you finally found something... That makes ME feel stupid this time... For the life of me... How this game works just seems beyond me... You haven't even started yet. And I'm ready lost about what your saying. Lol

"Nice little 2x2" = "I'm playing this on a laptop lol"

The were creatures are very problematic.... One bite in the log missed and from there on it's a nightmare. Literally 100hrs of game time can be ruined by just one visitor and best I can determine NO early warning signs. At least the vampires are green! Dogs can detect thieves but is there anything that detects werebeasts?

Started a game today that had a civilization with one dwarf left. Idk how to tell what happened to the poor guy though

This is Levan Saginashvili’s grip trainer

rename all of your dwarves as sandworms.

I play with all the ware stuff and the other creepy stuff like necromancers off.. it's hard enough to just have a thriving empire let alone have to worry about all that other stuff. I know some people love that RNG and the stories it makes but losing a ton of progress for something silly like that for me is not a fun time.

Lokum should've been called Tonald Lokum

Hey Nook, maybe you can do a quick RU-vid short on making blocks. Thanks for all that you do!

new to this but are you able to stop playing one fortress and start a new one and the old one becomes a AI fortress from where you left off

That Goat, was truly the [G]reatest [O]f [A]ll [T]ime!

1:08:00 Wait, this guy isn't quill?

Can the cat be a werecat since it was being eaten by the beast? That cat could be spreading the disease?

Dwarf name: AlekSANDer.

this game always looks fun, but it still just has not clicked for me to figure out, I know Rimworld an this game share a lot of mechanics an maybe one day it will just make sense lol. took me going back to Crusader kings 2 like 10 times before I just understood everything all a sudden.

where does the intro come from ?

Muad dib!

there ashould be a mod tnat adds fremen dwarves,m the spice,that would bve awesome.

I thought at first you can resettle in a fallen fortress. It's not possible right?

What mod are you using for a larger starting area?

Waaaait a minute... You get more blocks than stone? So what's the best way of getting rid of stone? Just make crafts!?

How do you make charcoal

I see you have not learnt how to dig stairs in order to not tank your fps

Hello, can we have the seed ? thx

How deep do you gotta go for Admanite?

❤

I really don't understand this game.

@3:26:11 "The axedwarf kicks the leader in the fourth toe, left foot with her left foot and the injured part collapses." - everything wrong with DF combat right here. This combat is bad. Like, really bad. Worse than the MUDs I used to play 25 years ago. Please stop romanticizing this type of stuff and instead ask for it to be fixed. - why is the axedwarf kicking? - why is any amount of processing wasted on localizing the fourth toe of the left foot? Over-granularity =/= good. - what does "injured part collapses" even mean? Honestly. What does it mean? How can your fourth toe on your left foot collapse?

maybe I missed it, but if no one asked for a Dwarf named Anakin in this fortress, shame on you all.

Dune is officially "too gay", guys. You heard it here first.
