Everything is free to download, doesn't mean I'm going to bother with everything.

i could barely tell what was going on

pressing every button not did clear things up very much

>tfw source code never
I'd love to see what kind of horrifying shit is under the hood, one programmer who was hired to clean up the code described it as "eldritch".

I've been playing it on and off for like 8 years straight now.

Always end up coming back to it eventually.

I'm at the point where I can settle successfully in mildly dangerous lands but I hate dying of FPS death and am struggling to adapt to fucking zombie cloud bullshit lands.

I haven't played the latest update though so maybe I'll dive into it. I don't really like the adventure mode much tho.

i can't even begin to imagine. Toady clearly knows how to work with it though.

Did you try pressing '?"

this is the fifth fucking df thread you have made today

if you want to talk about your autism simulator, go to /vg/. their dwarf fortress general is pretty much the only consistently good thread on the board

It's not that hard user. I play 6 hours everyday with no mods/graphic tiles. It's tons of fun :) Try reading a combat log sometime and you'll know what I mean.

+20 meat ;)

What is dis

>shocked multiple people made threads about a game

I'm playing UnReal World instead.

yeah man why the fuck is this asshole making video game threads on the video game board

this isn't my console wars!!!!! wtf!!!!!

Don't like that whole fantasy thingy.
shame they dropped that politic shit

I get bored soon and don't have much imagination to have fun with the game. Teach me!

not true user. dwarf fortress is too autistic for you

What modes have you tried playing?

Both playable ones.

migrant waves got too big to quick, i liked more of the desperate feel of I need just a few more people to do x, then a spurt comes along and it leaves me with a few extra to go: well what the fuck do I do with you? Right now its HERES MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER NEED! BUT NOW HE'S GOT SKILLS THAT YOU DONT HAVE AN INDUSTRY FOR! HOP TO IT LAD! Also i miss the inevitable growing size of Goblin attacks. You were at least made to feel the inevitability on all fronts

Here's a tour of my fortress. It's pretty shitty, but you can see my tavern, farm stuff, stockpiles etc.

I prepared some drinks and a few snacks, tomorrow I'm gonna buckle up and finally start playing this game.

What do you guys suggest to focus on for the first time

>DRM engravement

first thing, don't play with any mods, or texture packs, they'll over complicate things, because if you decide to change your texture pack you have to adjust, same with mod stuff/dwarf therapist. The vanilla game is perfect by itself.

Just made a discord for anyone who wants to ask questions etc. because you'll deff have questions.

Yeah, I saw that, it was a total coincidence.

Or they can just join the dwarf fortress discord.

Are there any interesting guides to this game?
All the ones I've seen either put me to sleep or give me autism.
>Video guide
>"Hey guys it's xXSuperGaijinXx here."
Kill me.

I'm retarded

Join my discord, I'll answer any questions/give tips and im online all the time playing it.

ur rite ._.

How do you guys design your fortresses?

The hardest part for me is picking a design I like, because if I fuck it up I'm basically stuck with it all of the run.

I don't really have the head for all this aesthetic construction.

I wish he would release it, at least when he dies
It could grow so much more imo

check out my fortress gif

It's his source of income.

... I always end up with 11x11 rooms.

Which is how much you get with shift moving the cursor.

Though, honestly I rarely play it for long anymore... there's just not enough time at that sweet spot of getting the fortress up, before everything becomes routine, and nothing can really be done to change that.

Though, part of the problem remains that we can't just activate a "classic seiges" flag and have yearly, massive attacks again.

In the recent iterations of the game, it is possible to go forever without even kobolds trying to swipe something...

...

Each level made of 8 9x7 rooms, connected by a 3 tile wide corridor.

One 9x7 room can easily be converted into 4 3x3 bedrooms, or you can combine two into a 19x7 Hospital/Tavern/Dorm

mine are ugly, quick, and inefficient in the beginning
