LOL!!!!
I'm watching this to relearn DF.
In my last fortress, I had two dwarves get trapped in a mine (i messed up the stairs and they couldn't get up)
In their shared traumatic experience, they fell in love.
they fell in a cave, they fell in love. I will craft a masterwork telling this story.

Thank you
As for the 'avoid aquifers' rule, in the newest version you don't have be be quite so strict on it. Aquifers have been split into 2 groups: Aquifers and Heavy Aquifers. Non-heavy aquifers now fill much slower (though still pretty quick) so you can block wall off the area before it refills. Heavy Aquifers are the nightmarish OG style aquifers.
... Now we can have moments like a dining hall slowly filling up with mud from a failed aquifer-to-well tap while everyone just chills at the tavern, "This is fine". >)X^D
Yo thanks. I was hearing a lot of mixed info on aquifers.
Im just starting out so i havent seen heavy aquifers, but the light aquifer im currently dealing with (even tho the map screen said ot wasnt an aquifer) is already a nightmare
@@5xg378 You should probably look deeper into the biome info... If only we knew where to look.

Uh, right...
hello! I watched your tutorial and immediately got ganged by goblins. My last dwarf was extremely traumatized after watching 6 of her friends die and shortly after her grieving, an undead mace goblin snuck up on her in her sleep and beat her to death. I love this game already.
Dude, I was literally just scouting around looking for some tutorials, and I see you upload this in my notifications. What are the odds!
Google knows my friend, Google knows.......
The youtube algorithm has blessed you, friend
This series is the length of a programming language tutorial.
"Avoid aquifers. You need trees. Dont build on purple. Thats it."
DF corrected me when j tried to build clode to saltwater
@Nookrium Some key points you missed in this pt1 unmodded tutorial are:
a) Beds can /only/ be made from wood (unmodded). If you embark to a biome that has little/no wood your dwarves will shortly (hah!) be v unnhappy until you get some :(
b) Early alcohol production is essential ASAP. Dwarves will only drink (fresh) water if no alternative exists (unless bedridden thru injury/sickness) & will be made unhappy by the necessity. Set up a productive still/brewery ASAP, even before food!
c) When selecting individuals for jobs in the menu, the most appropriate dwarfs for that task are auto-presented in the list in descending order by game calculations, so picking the top selection is usually pretty good - unless they've too much else to do.. ofc certain addons make this much easier ;)
d) Stockpiles can be adjusted to take anything; the nomenclature (ie initial stockpile focus) system simply preselects a bunch of stuff for you rather than locking that 'pile into a specific type of good.. much like Rimworld 'dump' 'piles & more general 'piles
e) Getting animals brought with you (esp your haulers) into a specific area to allow them to graze is v useful at gamestart. You may slaughter them later for food, but until you release them from the wagon they'll be confined & will quickly starve
f) Don't forget to deconstruct the wagon for 3 wood! Not relevant in your biome but often overlooked by others in a harsher start. It should also remove the wagon's 'meeting spot' area (something I expect you'll address next vid), so new arrivals won't stay stuck on map edges ;)
Holy shit, just as I'm trying to get into this game for the 3rd or 4th time, I stumble upon yet another (up-to-date!) tutorial of yours. Marvelous!
Likewise. I dream of being able to really get into the same some day.
Yet you'll learn nothing of value here, except the value (at your expense) of clickbait. ProTip: Try harder in life not to be so dumb.
@@sunnyjim1355 Who hurt you man? Regardless of the point you're trying to get across, there has to be a way to be less vitriolic about it and just as concise. I've been on the internet long enough to know not take such things personally, but it saddens me for you, get better, man.

Hmmm... several minutes in and the dwarves were orbiting Kerbin.
Glad I'm not the only one
Someone needs to make a mod for that.

My first biggest challenge that turned me off of the game, and really didn't let me play until I figured it out was... That I didn't know how to dig into the ground...
same.
Me too.
I'm having that exact same problem...
I mean just strike the earth. No that wasn't a good joke was it
Then you are a mere statistic in Darwinian Evolution; you failed because you weren't good enough. Boo hoo.
I just started playing and I've figured out a lot of basics with some help from my brother and just kinda using intuition but watching stuff like this fills in so many gaps (and shows easier ways to do things)! I'm not usually a purist and am a heavily visual-oriented person but I went in and now play with nothing changed but a palette that's a little easier on the eyes. The original ascii is charming now, even if somewhat confusing still.
I'd love a more advanced tutorial for dwarf fortress. Like minecarts and how to do archers right
Bruh I don’t even know how to make bedrooms
@@Malos_ why do I have a badger head in my right hand how do I unequip it help I'm stuck with it for over 3 months
There are no advanced tutorials for dwarf fortress, because very few people have advanced that far. And those who have, have no time for mere morons.

this tutorial is genuinely helping a lot with getting into the game, thank you so much
Thank you so much for this Nookrium. Been interested in DF from a long time ago but after seeing this, I downloaded the new version of DF and gonna play it while this video guide me!
The light aquifers aren't so bad, barely even beats evaporation, so can channel a room, then wall it in, wait for the water to evaporate, then proceed down.
Never gonna play it without at least a tileset though.
There is something charming about the ascii tho

@@farsalor2627 You can change just the color palette! I had to put one that wasn't so saturated and made the dark colors stand out more against the black. It's as easy as changing the color values in a txt file. You can copy paste palettes that way, the wiki has some nice ones.
I've been really itching to play this game, but haven't had the drive to do it. I'm going to watch and listen very closely and take the plunge. I've seen your videos a few times in the past, but it's finally time. Really enjoy your videos!
despite what it might seem, you only just need to familiarize yourself with the interface, how to open and close menus, what the difference menus mean, how to move your cursor, select things..
once you know hat you can play without tutorials, just using the DF wiki for referece

Great little tutorial, thank you!

The resident snapping turtle was NOT having it. lmao I'm not really sure what to do next at this point other than see what fun ensues and start over already hahaha That didn't take long!
That turtle is saying “welcome to dwarf fortress” 😂
Thanks for the tutorial! I’m a fan of classic Dwarf Fort, but this is the first tutorial I’ve seen without additional utilities!
22:44 "We want a house over our heads" I can see this being the Dwarf version of the saying.
Well. I was following along in a very similar swamp. Got overrun by the undead before I could even unload my wagon LOL. Restarting for my second ever fortress now 😅
Lol, good luck 😁
I've known about this game for a while now but am only just getting into the game because of how daunting it is for newbies. Thanks for the vid!
I'm so excited for the steam release tho. Mid 2021 and we are still waiting!
It's nice to see you made a video for starters using vanilla. The best approach
How did you get that UI for the world creation? I can never get the entire map to display during World Gen (it's only a zoomed-in fraction), and also how did you get the middle Region Map to be big and nice compared to the other two during Site selection? And also how IN THE WORLD did you change the sizes of those three displays? And also after embarking, how did you get that really nice GUI where it's 1080p and most of the screen is the Main View map?
FINALLY! You know how long it took me to learn the absolute basics of this game, because no one, fucking NO ONE made a tutorial to explain ANYHTHING!. I've lost so many fucking forts to starvation because I had NO clue how to farm, and yet not a single person taught how to farm, or make stuff, the very basics of the game, so I can actually get to and enjoy the rest of the game.
THANK YOU
Sharing my thoughts a bit and helping the algorithm;
I can't wait for the Dwarf Fortress of VR or maybe a 3d modern Dwarf Fortress type of game. Don't you find games that have a lot of random variance and depth to be lacking in contemporary games? I hope the game engines can innovate more with AI systems, making game creation to be near easy. But today a lot of the best games are meticulously created and have a lot of work put into it. Like say for Cyberpunk 2077. The game isn't out yet but by the way they market it it seems to have a lot of people working on it, making sure the game's quality doesn't falter. On the opposite side of the spectrum games like No Man's Sky is pretty lacking in the exploration aspect, but has made strides to change that aspect to be more fun. It's wide berth is immense, but it's depth is like an inflatable pool. However It will never beat having a world custom created with a culture, a history, the politics and the dynamics of a living breathing planet. Now admittedly I feel that that sort of technology is a bit far off. It would take having an AI baked into the game engine or something, that calculates every movement the player makes, action they take, the mistakes they make etc. This much detail can be interpreted weirdly by the ai but I think it's a start. To have an AI custom make a world while you play it, with custom events Is a Direct AI Director. Now imagine the amount of work needed to create something like that. But having a system like Dwarf fortress that just makes events, and the animations only are as accurate as it's graphics capability. Now to have a system like that; a Modern Dwarf Fortress in a 3d world. Now that would be incredible!
dwarf fortress is 3d tho

How or why would anyone dislike this video? I mean Nookrium explains this game quite well, especially for such a complex game ^ ^
Definitely looking to get back into DF2020! In particular, the new guilds and temples look interesting. Dwarves can train each other in skills? So a legendary+5 armorsmith can train up other dabbling armorsmiths? And temple priests can reduce the stress of dwarves? Very much looking to explore those! But I do need my DFHack and autobutcher utilities first.
from my experience priests are mainly there for worshippers to cry on to avoid depression
Thanks for the video. I wanted to try Dwarf Fortress "Classic" before I potentially try the steam version, but it's quite overwhelming. Thanks for making it a bit clearer!
Nice tutorial Nok... 1 question: Im really on depth stories, and I just wanna play for the ideas of the world and characters on them... I read something about legend viewer, could you explain how to use it? Keep going!!
watch Kruggsmash's video "Dwarf Fortress: Legendary Stories"
Once you know the ins and outs of the game, you can have a very long lasting civilization. It can be so long in fact you may want to just start up a new one. The only ending for a fortress other than quitting on it, is complete dwarf eradication.
Thanks to you I am going into Dwarf Fortress optimistic about failing and getting wiped out! :)
I can’t imagine playing the game with 70+ dwarfs and not having dwarf therapist... Godspeed
This is the ideal way to experience Dwarf Fortress. To those "other" players, I've got to ask: if you could, would you slap FFXIV graphics (or pick your favorite MMO) onto a WOW client? That's the magic of DF-it stands out in its uniqueness. Using modded graphics just seems like taking shortcuts... might as well play Gnomoria if that's the case.
i hate the steam version so much... the tileset looks like someone took the original mona lisa and took a big dump on it then claimed they made it better. just like people claim "hell yeah df has graphics now" it ALWAYS HAD GRAPHICS. ASCII IS GRAPHICS AND ITS BEAUTIFUL.
You skipped the setup the larger display, so I need to go hunt down info on that first : (
that helped me out. thanks for redoing the series for 2020
As someone who plays without a tileset this is nice to follow :)
You good sir have earned a sub and thank you for this tutorial, Ive been wanting to get into this game for ages but haven't found a good tutorial to sit down too. Also the Meph Tileset is about the only way i can play this too slow for ascii
this is my 4th time watching this video. Kruggsmash's tutorial helped me to at least understand the game concept. your tutorial is a wonderful opportunity to see the game in action.
thanks
also... the name roelof van der merwe ... why does it sound so familiar...
i'll never get tired of your DF tutes and vids. :)
Great idea, Nook! This isn't an easy game to figure out at first, although it's not as bad as people think. I mean, *Losing Is Fun,* right? :)
Seriously, if you just know the basics, you can dive right in. And when things go horribly wrong,... well, _that's_ Dwarf Fortress. _Of course_ things are going to go horribly wrong! That's what's fun.
PS. Admittedly, I need my graphics packs. I can't play ASCII. I'm fine with minimal graphics, but I need _something._ :)
Such a cool map with the river on the plateau :)
When I get the game, first thing I’ll do is hop into adventure mode, play as an elf, and take over a hamlet.
Nice. Love a magnetite start. Thanks for the great vids. Love watching these to brush up and learn new skills.
Perfect, exactly what i was looking for.
12:08 for the glory of Kivish Mothdast, or as the subtitles inerpret it: key fishing boats dust...
I'm about to embark on getting into this game, while using the Meph toolset. I'm going into this with the mindset that, at some point, I'm going to war against all the different kingdoms, and seeking to conqure their lands and holdings; and establish a dwarven empire.
Was everyone a pacifist?
ive been making a word document so i can remember all this lol
brand new to DF thanks for all the help! subbed
Great tutorial! I gotta say the ASCII art has quite some charm!
"my hatred for elves surely is not indicative of my latent homophobia"
I finally started and my first dwarfs decide that they neither want to chop trees nor dig. Just sitting around or near their cart. Too tired now to find out how to give them jobs, going to watch this again tomorrow. :)
Ustuth is the name of my current expedition leader. Ustuth Mengcatten to be precise!
Recently got the Steam version and the game is great. But I tip my hat to those who delve deep into the ascii version, I know I wouldnt have the patience.
Great video!
I'm gonna watch you play it for ~10 hrs and then I'll try it out for myself.
That’s dedication!
the chronicles of Noble begin
Tutorial stops pretty early. We made a farm but you didn't go over how to set up food/beer production, how to build rooms/beds, etc
Very helpful, thankyou. I will watch more come the Morn, I will learn this Game before the Steam version hits is my aim so as to appreciate it in its true form first.
Very happy for this
Thanks a lot. This game is so confusing. I would of loved like a baby tutorial about the main things the dwarves need instead of just floundering around on my first play through. I will watch more of your videos so I can understand this game.
Baby tutorial? Got ya covered: th-cam.com/video/fXSwxQYrSB0/w-d-xo.html
@@Nookrium LOL Just watched it before I received your notification :) Thanks alot. this helps. My fortress right now has some really weird dwarfs. they are all mechanics or siege dwarfs
Is this with the villain update? It ramped up the depth level of allrdy deep Dwarf Fortress.
I really appreciate the original DF videos. The new graphical version loses so much imho. Thank you it's an enjoyable presentation of the brilliance of DF.
I watched all 8 of this series. Really sad that you didn't continue it.
humans just can't think like a dwarf, that's why all dwarf expeditions that are guided by invisible human from beyond fail.
Using the LNP makes it better for the eyes
Whatever this tiles thing he is talking about seems like it would be useful
Lol soundsense plays ksp music?! I love it!
What people that are interested need to get over with - which is the biggest hurdle the game has - is the intimidating reputation. Everybody goes on and on how difficult and menacing the game is and all that. No, it isn't. It's basically Dungeon Keeper mixed with Stronghold for those that wish to compare. Besides, the game allows for some very fine world tuning and you only make it as difficult as you want it to be.
Honestly, once you get past the "reading the cliffnotes" stage and take things slowly, familiarize controls (which I'll grant you, can be frustrating to deal with), the game is _not_ that difficult. There's a lot of things to keep track of, especially when starting (food, shelter, booze, mining and its hazards), and if you don't, you'll end up getting in a nasty position. Still, that is what most strategy games are about.
HOWEVER - more often than not, you can get yourself un-nastied if you do not panic and think first. The game is technically turn based after all. With all the documentation the game has - A great wiki which has tutorials, video tutorials, even a tutorial in bookform - it is really easy to get into. Just don't expect your first 2-3 forts to live long. But really, with no real end goal, the whole point is losing.
A Roundabout is the perhaps most important thing to implement in a fort. Take advice. :)
the dogs are so adorable
this tutorial is the best ive come across. would you do a steam release tutorial when that finally drops?
This is like starting college. I'm both nervous and eager to learn in equal measure.
fall apart? i still collapse from stress. all the food i want. lumber, but never enough jobs
Finally can get my craftsman workshops built...
Do you remember the fortress with the dwarf MsCarsonelle? Legendary. I still watch and don't play. It's so intimidating.
MsCarsonelle? How could I forget! 😁
Dwarf fortress is not an hard game. The problem is that people think is hard for 2 reasons. 1 is that the interface is actually hard to understand if you are used to games with a simple interface. 2 is that you can touch the maximum difficulty if you have imagination. But indeed if you play safe and you dont try to find trouble, you can pretty much play for 10 months (in real life) without the need to learn nothing. Of course if you want to progress and change the situation in your fortress you have to dig into the caverns.
My yellow cursor disappeared immediately (only available in the mini map), even though it's on "Yes" in settings. I also can't display this very helpful tab with all key bindings, like hotkeys tooltip. Starting for a first time is very very hard.
It seems like you were playing a different version of the game. 4 years later Tab is not working for me, as well as a lot of other hotkeys. UI is much worse, very difficult to figure it out.
This game makes me create
New realities.
12:45 and you quit, so did I and here I'm 5min to few days later watching tutorials about Dwarf Fortress how to get started . . .
we have “time is subjective” until the steam version comes out
I missed the first half but loved the second. Thanks for a great up to date tutorial. Are you going to do a new 202 fortress series? thanks again
1:58 tutorial starts
jesus, like 6 hours of tutorials. i guess if i watch all of these 3 times over i might have a slight idea on how to finally play dwarf fortress
had to turn my volume up twice my normal volume to even attempt to hear you well enough to understand you
This video came up in suggested deal right when I was about to search for "nook df tutorial 2020" 🤨🤔
Google knows...
2 and a half years later, steam not even CLOSE.
releasing december 6th
Like all tutorials of this game, you say that my first fortress will get quickly destroyed. I tried to play this and got completely bored when I had built all the essentials things and the only thing that kept happening was a few new immigrants coming now and then and I just kept building new beds and gathering plants. I dug down into a cavern but there was really just some gems and I didn't know what to do with them. Eventually some monster came and I managed to have it killed and lost a couple dwarfs and that was it. I ended up intentionally digging into the nearby river and drowning my fortress out of boredom just to see what would happen. I really don't understand this game. What am I supposed to do in it??
Embark at a more difficult site with less stuff and challenge yourself to build something special. Just because you didn't lose doesn't mean you won.
