Thanks to the patrons for supporting this video. #dwarffortress #Steam #premium - เกม
This is quickly becoming my new favorite series!
Yay
Ditto. Lots of ideas to explore.
Same, its helping me expand my fortress ideas thats for sure
Thanks for reviewing my fort Blind! I am considering trying to construct a way to "plug up" the river to the moat so i can work on a drainage system, not only that, the current version of the fort has grown by a few Z-levels more with protrutions of clear glass bedrooms! Gonna be doing some finishing touches on it soon before embarking on a new fort adventure in the same world!
The low effort way is to build a few pumps and build walls/floodgates in the river. Will take some unsuspending to get finished.
The !!fun!! Way is to get some magma to the surface and obsidian over the source side while you work. Then channel it out when you're done.
@@petergraphix6740 Can you build walls in a 7/7 water tile? I accidentally flooded my fortress and it didn't seem to be possible even placing them in more than 1/7 tiles. Didn't try floodgates though so maybe they're different
@SuperTom0111 no, 1/7 is it. You have to use pumps or clever cave ins otherwise
Awesome fort! I love all the forts I've seen, but both of yours have been my favourites 😊
Have you uploaded this save? Be great to see how good players set up their base at my own pace :)
Gorgeous. Makes me interested in seeing a potential above-ground building tutorial from you, Blind. Could be very informative!
Always make a way to drain moat. In one of my last forts I had little 2 wide moat, and it actually killed more enemies than any of my legendary swordsdwarfs... and more dwarves than any FB/Siege. There was a crap load of items in this moat, including 7 full masterpiece steel armor/weapons sets.
Love the community forts. Always refreshing to see different approaches and informative to learn through your analyses.
Another amazing and absolutely massive above ground fortress. Love it. Wish I could be even remotely this organized.
7:15 I like the Idea of a multi-z level siege artillery battery protecting a multilevel, i.e. downward sloping entrance. might be a way to make catapults viable.
I got inspired by these forts, I'm planning a new one and on the first steps to build it, it will take a while!
Appreciate you doing these. Love this one!
That's a pretty fortress! I'm still struggling to keep my people alive, so I don't bother much with things like color co-ordinating.
Still trying to get one of my forts ready to send your way for a review, but apparently my first cavern layer is PARTIALLY heavy aquifer. I realized it way, way too late. I have flooded all the way down to the magma sea by accident and am refusing to give up. I am trying to drain and smooth all the walls to stop the water but I am having trouble even seeing where it is coming from at this point. If I can save it, I will send it lol.
Hey Blind, I love the series and the content. Thank you very much, I always learn something. Would you mind do a video about unmet needs and perhaps a way to achieve them. If you already did that could you point me in the right direction? thank you!
i thought of using a similar river motte system ... does it not auto drain through the river that feeds it? its just adding a loop to the river... no?
Blind means dry it up for maintenance. It's effectively part of the river as it runs, yes. No way to change that as it's built. If it had floodgates or bridges as dams, you could pump the water out and back into the river (or let it flow off a map edge underground) and get into it to fix or build things.
You make a floor tile on the z+1 level outside of the wall to make it unclimbable ?
“There’s nothing wrong with looking cool”
Instead of walling them into the moat, let them climb all the way up only to be met with a second moat.
@00:20 in the video, top right you can see the blue civ has formed a phallus shape with its structures. Craftmanship.
from wiki it saids balista can only shoot at the same z level, in this fort, his balista is 1 lvl above the battlefield area?
On the topic of mods breaking the saves, there is a way around it, but not a comfortable easy one. The person sending their save would have to identify the installed mods, copy those mods folders with the correct numerical version number in () on the mod folders name and sent that with their save, and you could then put those mod folders into your installed mods directory. As i said, not an easy or comfortable way.
Is there a keystroke or button to hit that brings all your dwarves to meeting areas or something? I hate when a siege comes and i end up having half my pop outside of my fort when i lock doors, and then trying to let dwarves in but keep enemies out becomes awful. And i think moats are more work than theyre worth, its a very nice aesthetic but if youre in an area where it will freeze in the winter that makes a fort too accessible by enemies i feel
assign a burrow anywhere inside your fort, assign all dwarves to it, when you unpause the burrow they run where u told em to, then you raise your bridge and you can pause the burrow again once you got them inside, a bridge blocks anything like a door once its raised btw do it acts like a big door
@@ZaJaClt Sometimes they will, and/or some of them will. Burrows are a long way from reliable.
I am late to this video but I can't help but wonder: Isn't that open air farm area a vulnerability to flying enemies?
4:44 minimap view at this height reminds me of dwarf logo.
Most impressive fort i've seen yet! It must have taken ages to haul all that stone upwards.
If you turn the stones in blocks, it makes them much much lighter and quicker to carry, and you get multiple blocks per stone too i think, and they look exactly the same when constructed.
@@TwoWayOrbitalStation oh, i didnt know that! thanks
Yes, 4 blocks out of 1 bolder. Plus, produce and use wheelbarrows. They make everything better. Thank me later :D
@Ascaron1337 add in a few infinite stockpiles with a single tile minecart and the megaprojects can go much faster.
@Peter Graphix Did not mention those, since some people consider it an exploit. But you are right, they are fantastic :D
Make the feeder bigger than 1 tile, tho. A 3x3 build (in total) with 3 wheelbarrows works like a charm.
More cool forts, I need to try a moat on my next one
I wonder if the player altered the world gen for no or less caverns?
Been playing about a week, this sort of base makes me want to build Minecraft style mega forts now
End game df is just making stuff look as cool as possible.
Imagine if you could play Dwarf Fortress like a multiplayer game.
Trading and cooperating with each other, or just attacking and raiding for the fun of it.
How it would be put together would be a WHOLE other thing.
It's never going to happen so no real point in imagining. Closest thing you'd get would probably be ymir and that game is a challenge to play let alone enjoy. store.steampowered.com/app/378360/Ymir/
Thermonuclear Dwarvern Engineering
The single worst thing I ever did to my dwarves was build a moat. That thing killed more of my citizens than anything else.
You mean the single most dwarf thing!
Now one up yourself and build yourself a magma moat!
This is what the traffic designator is for. Set where they are encouraged/discouraged from walking and the probably (mostly) goes away. Dodging is still an issue, but dodging is always an issue.
you missed the Dwarf firing the ballista at 6:25 lol
hm... would be nice if there was a 'localized mods' folder per-world. that way worlds won't break, since all mods loaded would basically be part of that world with their mod version basically frozen. not saying that's a perfect workaround, but from what I understand, DF mods on average are pretty small.
I actually thought this was how it worked. Guess not. Considering how DF does saves, should be done this way. Just make the mods part of the world gen and save, and not changeable after that. Trade-offs, but be easier for sharing files.
Can you show the playtime for a fort like this? Thanks great fort and great video!
The in-game date is year 167. Unless the builder went out of his way to use a very strange start date, It looks like this took 67 in game years. Yikes.
@@TheWeirdsound More like 17 years, since the default generation setting is 150 years. This or it's their second/third fort on this world. Still impressive though
@@Michcio59 I've been running without changing any worldgen settings, and all my forts start at year 100.
@@TheWeirdsound Yeah my bad, I always do 150 years and have been playing on my world for a while now soo I've mixed up things. It is really impressive then :D
1000th like!
Semtexagon above ground fortress armok
Yass! Time for some rate my fort!
You say they should have a way to drain moats but you don't specify why?
Rinsing it out for bodyparts, items and the like to try and recover some fps im guessing.
Gives you a chance to rescue drowning dwarves, and sometimes invaders get stuck - I've heard of forgotten beasts falling into moats and not leaving, spooking out everyone trying to cross the bridge.
@Blind could you make a video about ... getting rid of leaves? I can't murder my trees anymore, as elven diplomat keep bugging me. So now i have the problem that i dropped 75 fps ... down to 15fps. Since the last winter hit. Im so close to murdering the trees and engageing in war with the elven hyppies. xD
Elves usually allow you a quota, if you want to keep future trees from growing just draw a large empty stockpile over the entire map and every covered space will be forbidden from growing (unless this changed in the steam release) then meet your quota every year then cover the former location of every tree you cut by extending the blank stockpile until the trees are only in places you want them to be.
I also use this to make sure trees give each other space because they love to grow next to each other which converts a space above one of the trunks to a floor tile of some kind then causes a cave in when cut down and somehow the dwarves always pick the spot below said floor tile as the spot they want to stand while cutting the tree.
@@Sworddeath727 thanks dude. I will try that out. Had the same problem with dwarfs getting hit by stuff while cutting trees. xD
Couldn't the submitters just include their versions of the mods as well and you could add and delete as needed?
Rock and stone
Rock and stone.
wild with only 62 dwarves had to have taken a long time.
Well, there are 62 dwarves NOW...
how can they achieve such designs with ~60 dwarves?
Time
@@BlindiRL How many graves are filled? :) And there were those skeletons around too...
lol yeah.. Generally speaking, if you're making a save file with the intention of showing it off to people, you should not use mods! And frankly, that's true for most games like this..
You are really going to like my fort when it's more complete. Above ground with cliffs. I'm planning aquaducts and plumbing for it.
2/10, walls aren't actually made of steel
