DWARF FORTRESS

<< < (3/51) > >>

McTaggart:
I've tried to get into it so many times and I just always have better things to do, or not enough time to learn. I'd like to play it, especially after sitting in irc channels with people who are totally into it building elaborate computers that automatically flood certain rooms if they get attacked and so on.

Way too hard right now though, I'll try again in a month or two I'm sure.

Oops! I meant to state this, but the core game (Dwarf Fortress) is still all "ugly and ASCII", but there are options to install your own graphics. What is shown in OP (and coincidentally, my favorite graphics pack), is The Mike Mayday Graphics Edition hosted by May Green.

The only bummer in my eyes is that he uses the "lite" version of Dwarf Fortress (no music). The easy way to resolve this would be to copy the files [song_game.ogg] & [song_title.ogg] from the full version of DF into the \data\sound directory.

Ok so.

Last night I learned a few things re: this game.  I set up a party, tailored it with what I thought was a good starting kit, then picked a space that looked pretty cool.  Then I couldn't figure out how to get them to do any fucking thing, there was no water for miles and I couldn't find any kind of rock/mountain to mine despite putting my dudes down in what I thought was a hilly area.

Restarted in the mountains, finally worked out how to mine and get them to meet inside, set up some collection points for things, smoothed out the walls of the cave to make it nicer to live in.  Made a trade depot and received a visit from some neighbouring dudes and tried to make some beds/chairs etc but failed miserably despite having enough wood.  Not sure if I was missing the tools to make wooden things or what.  Oh also, by the time I found all these things out I had run out of food, so my little duders kept interrupting their work to kill rodents and so forth to eat.  Nom nom nom.

Tonight I am hoping I can pick a better start area with some water near it maybe and also perhaps some critters about to hunt.  I am not sure why the woodcrafting/working duder didn't want to make the beds/chairs, but I'll figure that out somehow.  My fisherman keeps catching turtles/fish but I can't use them for some reason and the corpses rot near where he caught them.  Maybe I need to set up a fish/meat store and set someone up to gut/clean them and someone to cook them?  I am unsure.

est:
Oh, and I just realised that if I am far but not too far away from water I could always mine a channel from the stream to near my settlement.

Melodic:
I do not get it, at all.
