    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

    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

      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.

      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.

    There are plenty of "overly" complicated games I try to get into, but only a few do I put the effort to actually get into. Hope this is one of em because I love the concept.

  • @ElvencloudYT
    @ElvencloudYT ปีที่แล้ว +18

    Just want to say you were a pleasure when I randomly clicked your twitch channel a couple years ago - and a pleasure to listen to here while at work. This game is quite overwhelming and you made it much easier to parse. Well done!

    @endrankluvsda4loko172 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Thank you! I just bought this and was almost immediately overwhelmed lol. This seems like such an awesome game; there's so much to do! But yeah after trying a few worlds on my own and not being able to figure out the basics even after following the in game tutorials, I turned to youtube for help.

  • @dariuscardren
    @dariuscardren ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Good tutorial!

  • @chashagin1
    @chashagin1 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    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.

  • @KaikuPen
    @KaikuPen 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Thanks so much for this! The in game tutorial takes the training wheels off way to early, and moves so fast through the steps that I ended up with an inefficient horribly built fortress, I dint lose, But I knew that the first conflict or Disaster would mean death.

  • @ChaoticPsyche01
    @ChaoticPsyche01 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I'm not a beginner, but I feel obligated to watch these videos because every time I feel like I know what I'm doing in dwarf fortress, I get to experience some Fun

    Not a beginner (any more), but this is a great, concise, and very relevant Getting Started tutorial. Nothing overly complicated, just your basic 'stay alive' video. The tutorial series is great work, keep it up!

  • @Karboluk
    @Karboluk ปีที่แล้ว +12

    I know you resisted making new tutorials for a while, but I have to say that you're quite good at it. Skipping important but confusing descriptions is an important skill to not swamp new players, and you have it.

    • @ObliqueXuba
      @ObliqueXuba 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      yeah, too many people get a bit too excited at sharing their full knowledge all at once, while putting it in the most literal terms when it is easier to digest if you phrase it better and pace yourself.

  • @kunibertrandolf1886
    @kunibertrandolf1886 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    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
      @BlindiRL  ปีที่แล้ว +4

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

    • @Kram1032
      @Kram1032 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    @xinlou6707 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This series helped get into it, what amazed me is that the world you created is constantly living like you can embark to make 2nd fortress and the previous one is there same as you can go adventure mode create demigods and put them all in one fortress and wrestle demons for fun :D

    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.

    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.

    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 TH-cam 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
      @beepbop6697 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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 TH-cam 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 TH-cam playback options.

    • @BlindiRL
      @BlindiRL  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      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.

    Thank you, Sir. Amazing introduction to the game. I've known of Dwarf Fortress since its inception, but couldn't get past the ASCII graphics to try it. Eventually assumed it was just a proto-Rimworld/Gnomoria game and didn't need to try it. But this world/history generation stuff? I thought Soulash and Archmage Rises were doing something novel by including it. Turns out Dwarf Fortress is the O.G. that I should've been playing all along. Oh well. Better late than never.

    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?

    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...

    A few times you say things like, "Just do this, you don't need to know why." It seems like actually telling people why would be a bit more helpful for a tutorial video.

      The why of it would turn it into a 45 minute + video. Notice that he intended on this being 15 minutes and it already ended up being almost 30.

      If you started with the default setting you have 2, if you started with prepare carefully then. Only you know if you did.

    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
      @BlindiRL  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

      @@BlindiRLthank you! I figured it out. However, I have another problem. After playing for a while, all of my dwarfs suddenly died from dehydration. I also realized that right before this happened there was like 15 people that all of a sudden came to my fortress. Do you have any ideas how this happened?

    I’m curious, why do you say it’s better to have no barrels in the seeds stockpile?

      Makes it harder to get the seeds out. Kinda hard to explain.
