My first fortress was called Toothkind. I spent an hour researching and prepping an ideal crew of carefully trained Dwarfs, found the perfect spot with a river, good cliffs, plenty of wood, forage and hunting, interesting features not too far away on the map. They embarked right next to a pack of lions, who instantly attacked, sending everyone into panic.
It took a week for the last of them to die.
Welcome to Dwarf Fortress. Hehe.
My first fort got invaded on the first of winter, first year by a horde of elf zombies who proceeded to slaughter everyone in the hallways and tavern.
my first fort died to a single dead horse
Make sure you set in your kitchen to forbid cooking tallow, once you do that it'll start piling up

Thanks from the future
As a Rimworld migrator to Dwarf Fortress, your tutorials and methods for explaining are perfect. Super helpful. Thank you for recording these.
I'm coming from Rimworld too having made an abortive attempt to get into DF as a 15 year old about a decade ago. I'm a couple of hours into this guy's tutorials and still a little nervous about starting the game
Nook has been the man for like a decade. Him and kruggsmash. So helpful. I wasn't the best at understanding the old school game military and tower system. His explanations were spot on and very easy to understand.
@@mistah6898 just think of it as rimworld on steroids. Wouldn't you like ten layers of complexity extra? Plus some Z levels or two... Some clowns, and fun shall be had...(you'll get that last one after time...)
@@bayoubilly5176 I've been playing a while now and I'm really enjoying it so far. I actually got into 47.05 as well so I could play adventure mode and I spent so long just using the legends viewer tool to explore the world I generated. Literally in just a tiny region of a huge world there is so much history. Necromancer dynasties, devastating wars leaving settlements barren and flooding others with refugees, towns overrun with criminals, sorcerers, prophets and charlatans. It's so fun, almost too fun. Definitely can see why DF got its place in the MOMA, and I never would've gotten into it if it weren't for the steam release. Can't wait for villains part II and adventure mode whenever they're finished.
@@bayoubilly5176 Hell I'm in legends viewer right now whilst I pass the time and just found a civil war that killed 14,000 people. Just exploring what happened there could give me hours of fun
The highlight of this whole tutorial series is finally learning that they added auto-vein mining to vanilla lol, had no idea! Thanks Nook.
Just don't forget to switch it back.
@@chaotickreg7024 Why?
@@guyman1570 Sometimes you try to do a quick mining designation and none of them apply... And then you realize you are still using the vein autodetection tool instead of actually mining anything and you have to fix it. Waste of clicks. I think it should revert as soon as you exit the mining menu.
You need buckets for the tallow to be moved with. If you have no buckets, the tallow will just sit in barrels or pots and won't be moved to the soapery. I always make a manager order to keep 10 buckets available at all times.
Oh my goodness, I'm pretty sure this is the root of my problem as well. Thanks for the comment!
Good to know. Thanks
I just started this game a few days ago. Each day I try to explore on my own, and then watch one of your videos to help learn something or reinforce what I found out on my own. Your way of talking ( I usually get annoyed with how people talk in videos ) and explaining things works perfectly for me! I am so happy I found your videos, they have been great at teaching me new tips to succeeding. I see that part 5 is the last one, but I really hope you make more videos in the future. Thank you.
Late to the party but recently started playing DF. These guides have been a life saver. Had to revisit this one to remember how to customize squad training regiments. I adjusted it to have a guy patrol my main staircase because I have a freaking badger infestation. Not giant ones or anything, just regular badgers that my hunters can't keep up with. And recently emu's have invaded as well. I refuse to pull an Australia.
The game should just replace its tutorial with a link to your beginner guides.
Bruh 💀💀
OpenTTD has been doing this on their Steam launch
And Blinds
The question mark option explains things well
@@alzzz1-14 You going to read the entire manual for your car before you to drive it, or have someone with experience show you how first?
This has been helpful. All of my fortresses have been lost to sudden and violent attacks by wild animals. I can’t quite figure out how birds are using stairs and opening doors, but at least I can try and fight back.
bird war
*BIRD WAR*
A kid was killed by wild eagle and everyone wenn nuts about it. At least the first fort that got the 2 year Mark lol
I spent a year digging through an aquifer in a desert. At the last minute, winter froze my miner. At least I had a cool drop through several layers, I thought. Then the giant birds came. They had free reign. And they were agitated. They wiped out a fortress of almost 30.
A dwarven child suddenly died, killed by a named giant bat that found its way inside my fort. That bat was then killed by ANOTHER named giant bat, and that one was killed by a different (living) dwarven child. no idea what the adults wee doing the whole time
@@AndrewFullerton Dude, that's not a fort, that's an interactive 80s horror film
As someone who comes from Rimworld, this game is pretty overwhelming at first. Thanks to your Tutorials, it is more knowing and trying and less dying and struggling.
Thanks!
For some reason, your voice in these videos is very soothing, so easy to listen to :) Thank you for doing these tutorials, you have made getting into the game that much more enjoyable and understandable. I have subscribed because of them, looking forward to seeing more of your content!
Omg Thank you for this video. I had a small idea of what to do with my military but I always wanted to have a few patrol while other train or work. This video really did help. Plus showing how simple it actually was to edit the schedule to have my units really in a staggered training format. Thank you.
yes perfect!
was waiting for this!
started DF yesterday after watching all the 3 other parts and doing the ingame tutorial :D
super hyped about the game
Thank you so much for in-depth tutorials! Won´t lie, it was overwhelming and I had terrible headache (and I felt like at school). Plus I did my own notes (namely where you can find where and in which order what to build + nuances). Needless to say - I did it in ONE sitting and for some reason - even learning and making notes was so much fun! Without that, I don´t know if I would be able to play this simulator (I don´t know if it´s even a game anymore).
The new UI is amazing and at least I can control it to some extent (I bow down to those who could play it in ORIGINAL UI, you guys are something).
I wish I had watched this before sending 3 untrained squads out to deal with goblin axemen...who wiped the floor with them. base was then full of ghosts and depressed children. Keep up the great tutorials
I listen to your videos to go to sleep, you have a really calm voice haha. Love the channel and the recent videos!
Thought I was the only one
One of my new favorite youtubers! Excellent work dude! I'm almost ready to get this game and start diving in myself
an alternative way of letting animals out of cages, how i figured it out on my own, is place the cage under the build menu, and then you can click on it to release them
Thanks so much! Making a new video every two days is really impressive!
Damn mate. Your videos are amazing. :) Started from Part 1 and can't stop watching your tutorials. Keep going. Very useful for newbies like me, used to play Rim World before.
I like to put training grounds outside the fortress, to reduce cave adaptation on my soldiers so they can fight on the surface and aren't recycling beer everytime they need to smack down a werecritter. I'm also fond of building at surface level and getting a pretty good town going for a lot of work with surface resources like woodworking, fishing, hunting, as well as a public tavern. Wall it all off and you have a proper fortress and not a prarie dog hole.
Thank you for this videos!!! Just bought the game and altough i read the tutorials i was totally lost, this "series" has been really helpful!
Thanks so much for these guides, these are very digestible while still being in depth!
thank you for dividing the parts per subject. I will return to this again surely. And this makes it so much easier.
New player here, started a couple of days ago. I've learned so much from your tutorials!
Great video, thanks for your time and continuous help.
Nice! Finally I (sorta) understand scheduling. Looks like a pretty strong system ngl
man, thanks so much for these, huge, huge help.
Had trouble figuring out scheduling- Thank you Nook!
Thanks for the video!
I'm so mad that your squads just immediately equip items as they're made. Mine are set to wear mail shirts and half of them just ignore the 20+ spare mail shirts we have in stock for reasons that I can't understand. The human mercenary ignores the specific human sized custom made equipment I crafted just for him. 😞
This has been pretty helpful little things I didn't know about like the manager having the physically enforce orders and how to set up the patrols and burrows for squads, surprisingly my first fort has ended yet but things have been not getting done and I feel like I know why. Also finally realized what to do with all my shells my biggest gap now is dumping don't know how to get them to just chuck things into a deep lake.
Shells can be used to make crafts in the dwarfcraft station, though I agree I have a metricfuckton on shells in my storage
Appreciate all the videos bud!
Please continue these!
More Thumbs , Best DF Tutorials in town!
17:39 "Why is my capslock on", he said, as if it hadn't been on in literally every video in this series up to this point
Love these videos so far, they've been a big help for helping to understand some of the things the game doesn't do a good job of really explaining.
One thing I was curious about is how do you handle unhappiness? In both of my beginner forts, the Happiness levels are good until I start getting migrants. At roughly 60-70 is when I start getting really unhappy dwarves and it just gets worse from there, usually spiraling into tantrums. I know how to check for unmet needs but I don't understand what many of them actually mean and how to resolve them.
"Don't tell the elves... Maybe DO tell the elves.."
thank you for your help, i play little by little after watching your videos
The fight for the soap is the most relatable thing I've ever seen. Because in my tens of hours of beginner play through I still haven't managed to make a single bar of soap. I wonder where all those fats went to. LOL
By the way quick question, when you schedule a patrol or burrow for some of your squad will it be rotated between the members of the squad? Or will it always be assigned to the same dwarves each time?
Anyway, thanks for the guide Nook! Been really hooked to this since the steam release and there are still a lots of new things to discover
Did you have a kitchen set up to make meals? The fat probably got cooked!
Darn kitchens stealing all the fats and plump helmets.
@@draeath oh, actually yes I always do have kitchen set up! thanks for the heads up, gotta check it later!
Dang, I always thought kitchen supposed to be producing the fats and not the other way around
@@nyctihawk dafuq? Which kitchen PRODUCES fat bro? XD
@@Debaser36 bacon cooking kitchen
"So we got copper here, lets go talk about stocks and inventory"..meanwhile. a crocodile is rampaging through the gathering hall
videos are great and helpful, just wanted to comment that I have flooded my first fortress trying to make an underground farm and well lol
"they make 10 more" made me let out the biggest "ohhhh" of realization. you should REALLY make a comment about that
"Smear of dog blood around there, oh hey, babies!" -Nook 11:55
yeah, that would be cool to have a war hippo!
I laughed so hard at the unicorns.
"Oh Unicorns ! Elven unicorns. Let's get 'em and slaughter 'em to get some leather !"
ever since my metal squad has been training my woodcutter dwarf has been unable to chop down trees, is this because the metal squad has taken all the battle axes in the fortress and I need to build more battle axes??
i still find it weird to schedule routes and patrols in the in the training scheduler, at first I thought it was just used to tell squad when to train, I still cant get my head around it, my squad will train constantly and tire and never sleep, really cumbersome UI, but this helped,
If there's any vegan roleplayers watching, you can also make soap from oil that you can get from seeds and olives
carving arrow slits in the smoothing menu turns walls into fortifications
This is the best tutorial thank you patton oswalt
Your voice sounds like a perfect blend of Jerma985's and comedian Mike Hanford's.
Is silver still a good choice for blunt weapons and (and situationally, bolts)?
Really helpful videos thank you, if you make any more, maybe you could add timestamps to the videos? i had to watch several times to find some things i needed xD
I sent a raid of 15 dwarves to a nearby settlement with less than 10 people and after 6 months they were still just on the mission. I canceled the missions but only the commanders returned. The other dwarves have the icon like they're still out on a mission. I have no report telling me if they're captured or anything
Needed this after my fortress got attacked by 2 rabid turkeys and took out a couple of dwarfs before getting killed. Never when you might get attacked haha.
So I got some mercenaries to join my fortress (offered to join for the purpose of soldiering), and I was like 'cool, I don't have to worry about my militia for a bit'.
At some point a spy tried to infiltrate my fortress. My dogs managed to catch him and they, together with some of the mercenaries, killed the spy.
However, it was at this point that one of my mercenaries, an axedwarf kitted out in steel, just started murdering everyone. He started with the other mercenaries, who weren't even close to a match for him, then he continued by killing all of my dwarven citizens.
The entire time I was just baffled because I had no idea why any of this was happening.
When you conquer something what does becoming part of your kingdom actual mean like what does that do?
~4:00 You don't necessarily /have/ to have ranged dwarves dressed in leather: the eqpt can be changed to (eg) steel mail. HOWEVER there's a long-standing bug that may still be extant in this version that precludes ranged troops from equipping correctly if equipped directly; choosing the generic 'archer' setup then changing eqpt somehow avoids this problem
~6:30 Armour/weps can't be made from gold except occasionally & randomly by a moody dwarf: that's purely for decoration &/or trade. Silver, OTOH, is v useful for eg maces & warhammers (it's heavy but soft, so won't hold a sharp edge), or even xbow bolts!
~11:00 Perhaps setting the archery range for your rookie dwarves with the target placed next to the doorway isn't such a good idea? Just a thought.. ;)
~19:00 It's a good idea to have a min 3 ppl training at one time: 1 will be the teacher while the other 2 spar. If you've filled your squads, /do not/ set all members to train at the same time: there won't be enough slots for all at once anyway; ensure at least a couple of them are patrolling/WHY instead (they can rotate duties so they all have a chance to train over time)
How did you get the magnifying glass on your Zone menu that shows what else they are requiring? Mine doesnt show that
7:58 I have a feeling you're either misunderstanding the visual update or it's just the fast pace, but you didn't include metals in there, hence why there's no copper there later (probably still hanging around in the smelter). For anyone reading: Left part is category, consisting of subcategories, consisting of individual items - to have all types of bars you have to click "all" above the _center_ one, not the right one. Clicking "all" on the right only includes everything in the subcategory - ash, coal, soap blocks etc.
Or "all" in the "Bars: metal" in this case specifically.
I just saw a similar issue in one the previous tutorials and thought I'd chime in.
Would someone please explain to me the best/optimal equipment loadout for a melee dwarf? I always get confused by the equipment options and how the gear can overlap, thanks friends.
My Mayor of our dwarven metropolis leads by example within the finest squad of Dwarven Slayers.
I have a lot of iron armors and shields in my fortress but for some reason my heavy squad don't equip it. Why? I made preset of heavy infantry for them and picked that armor and shields for them to use, but they only equip weapons
damn it man. i have watched more then i played at this point. Im understand this is a life sim, do what you want not a story to beat but to learn and make type, i think thats why i like it but i dont like how they move, i wish they had flow.. If i can get over it tho, this is an amazing game
I've been following this video step by step the best I can and when I try to schedule my training/patrolling my squad is just standing in their barracks doing nothing. The editing screen says they all have "no orders" assigned when I programmed at least two to train and at least two to patrol. Does anyone have any clue what I'm doing wrong?
Game fun but have some thing to drink for them all
Hey Nook I am loving your new Dwarf Fortress steam tutorials, really helpful.
Finally trying DF for the first time but it's not been easy understanding all of its systems. Rimworld makes it very easy to check "beauty" values of rooms and objects, this beauty value also affects my colonists moods relative to their surroundings, bedrooms, dining halls, etc; was wondering if DF has something similar?
Does building material affect Workshops performance? If not, does it affect anything else? Like if I use a valuable material to build it does it affect my Dwarves moods when near it? I understand dwarves have different tastes, but is it just flavour text or does it affect their moods relative to the clothes they are using? if i make jewelry and new clothes do they automatically equip them according to their tastes?
building material has no impact on workshops beyond the colour and description. Dwarfs do seem to claim and equip non-armor things based on preference, I've had dwarves take some of my porcelain crafts (bracelets and things) to wear around
the usual breakdown in soap making is you need a kitchen right next to your butcher and you need a bucket stock near your asher
I'm struggling with scheduling to a burrow. None of my troops want to go to their burrows and i have it scheduled 2 training and 2 burrows for two different squads. My burrows are unpaused and look just like they do in the video but no one goes to the burrows.
11:50 Kadol, NOO😭😭😭😭
i tried trading with the elves and had a bunch of bone figurine. turns out they didnt like that i killed so many animals and left immedieatly :D
I vaguely remember time before it is faster to train an army with a dwarf that already have some skills, so that dwarf train the rest. Is this still true?
(8:00) Whoops you clicked metal blocks and not metal bars.
I had a goblin base I wanted raze, sent out 90 trained legendary macemen vs 20 goblins and they didn't come back after a whole year. No comments in legends mode after no rumors, I'm thinking it was a bug?
How long do razes normally take?
I accidentaly removed the metal armor squad option by clicking the red cross... Is there any way I can get it back?
You accidentally selected metal blocks, not metal bars, which is why the copper didn't go into the stockpile. Easy mistake!
I am super curious about the description of that named warhammer though, it was made by a fey mood and I don't think you read it!
Is there any downside to seizing a traders goods? Playing on no enemies right now.
Ive never gotten soap to make that way, soap seems like one of those buildings that--it can only take its ingredients out of a stockpile, and not from other stations inventory. I had to wait for them to put tallow and lye in a linked stockpile to make it. It will not make soap if the tallow is still in the kitchen.
Also, on default settings the kitchen is set to cook tallow, like it is plump helmets. Those trying to make soap should tick that off.
Once you set tallow to not be cooked you should be good
Is there any way to equip dwarves so they can defend themselves if they get attacked while just existing ? It feels strange that I'd need to tell a squad to go get their weapons, and then attack a specific monster that's harassing my dwarves or animals, then to go back to their day jobs when the mob is dead. Surely dwarves can be smart enough to at least carry around a dagger and retaliate if they spot a hostile ?
This is mostly a big deal because the game goes so fast and I keep missing entire combats where my side loses badly because they didn't have any equipment and i couldn't respond quickly enough.
So i have a problem, I accidently deleted the "Metal Armor" choice and i don't know how to get it back.
Out of curiosity, why not trade with Elves?
Thanks to you I can now survive my first winter... I have a quation about money: I made statues and gems and sold them for a hefty profit, but I cannot find that money anywhere and it's not there for the next transaction ! Who stole it ?
You probably figured it out by now, but as far as I know there is no "money" in the game only barter trade (you can theoretially craft gold/silver coins and use them for trade). I.e. you just try to buy as much as you can from the trader with your crafts (usually the trader will only trade with you if they are the ones making the "profit" too, so maybe they are the ones very happy now :D )
I am lost at defences. What to do with caged goblins, mas dumping, stripping caged prisoners, hauling them, etc, all is hard without repeating the key-shortcuts (dont seem to be appliying the same way as on the wiki)
Caged goblins make for great training, release it in the barracks (or somewhere they can't hurt any civilians and let the military fight.
Please explain: If I build the butcher, the kitchen, and the soap maker: will the fat be collected automatically, or do I need to tell them what to do? I can't seem to make leather or soap for the life of me.
Fat and leather will be made automatically as long as you haven’t changed the default standing orders. You will get some every time an animal is hunted or you designate one of your own animals for slaughter. Fat requires empty buckets available to be moved around.
Edit: saw in another comment, hadn’t been an issue for me but make sure your kitchen isn’t allowed to cook fat/tallow either that could be burning it.
@@youngclopen Thanks! They were cooking all my fat.
i have one problem with my squads i accidently deleted the loadout preset for metal armor. I tried to recreate it, but for some reason the dwarves will pick up weapons, shields, water skins and backpacks, but will not claim any armor. All the equipment slots remain red aside from the aforementioned slots.
I have similar issue
@@jimmyjazz166 As do I
Quick question, when I sent three of my six squads out to raid a goblin place with
It sounds like the either got captured or killed.
If no one returned then you won’t get a report. Go to the world map and look at the site you attacked, you may find your dwarves listed as prisoners.
For me-
For some reason, lye is getting put into barrels in stockpiles instead of staying in buckets.
The soap maker needs "lye containing item" like a bucket with lye.
So I set all stockpiles to custom and turned off lye.
This forced them to stay in the workshop in buckets of lye.
The soap workshop is... Saying I don't have any lye containing items still...
So now I've got several barrels full of lye, the ashery full of lye in buckets.
But I can't make soap.
What the heck is going on?
Also. Where can I check how much money I have? I made some good deals but can see how much money I got
Are there no consequences for stealing all the elves stuff?
I think committing crimes against any foreigners will their nation may become hostile to you.
Worsening relations and eventually as a consequence war by confiscating their goods
I ended up getting annoyed and pressing rock nuts for oil to make soap. Of course, then they started producing tallow.
A lot of visitors petition to come living in my fortress to "entertain people", is it worth to accept or are they just trying to get free food and bedroom ?
I have a lot of bolts laying around but my dwarves wont equip them they only equip the bows or crossbows, any advice would be much appreciated
Have you made quivers to hold the arrows?
@@dommaschannel7983 it says I have quivers in my stockpile
my dawarf are living food everywhere i think there is a bug with the backpack
Why you seized elf trader?
Is there a lasting repercussion to robbing the elf?
They'll stop coming back to trade and could potentially lead to war
OMG the game uses tallow same as we do it's a taste enhancer for food. @Nookrium It's a very common issue. Love your guides but it's OK to not speed through or use the description in pause, built during a cut and show finsl. Same time common oopsties we all make add the flavor.
Solution to the tallow not being available is ...
1. Put the job in the managers roster and at the top set to make 10 soap if supply is less than 5 and initially at least turn off the permission for the kitchens to use tallow for cooking. Game logic .... Food before other use and player logic ... I can do soap anytime. And be sure to have that ash order before the tallow one in the daily que and both before food.
You pastured your cougar with the rest of your animals...
